Analysis and Explanation

Unnatural Selection appeared very often on The Resistance tour, appearing at almost all gigs during 2009 and 2010, before being dropped at the end of that year. The song made no appearances in 2011 or 2012. It returned however in September 2013 and made regular appearances until the end of the year.

The song made two appearances in March 2015 during the Psycho UK Tour but it was dropped afterwards, probably due to the band favouring other rarity songs over it. It hasn't been played since, but it was an option at the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by request gig, and it's riff was played as part of the 'Houston Jam' during the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019.
