Other songs

"Let's Go" was performed once at the Boston show. "Coming Undone" had been listed on the setlist for Boston but it was not performed for unspecified reasons. "Proud" was a staple on the tour's first North American leg; it has since been replaced. "Illuminati" was played during The Path of Totality's album release party at the Hollywood Palladium. "Somebody Someone" was played once in Oberhausen, only to be replaced with "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" at the next show. "Porno Creep" was played at the Indianapolis show, but has since been omitted from the set list, but was played at the Gurgaon show in Delhi, NCR in India.

Jonathan Davis confirmed via video chat that "B.B.K." is performed during rehearsals for the tour but is difficult to pull off live and may be performed in the future.
