Last year he used to play The Greatest Bastard only during the aftershows, in front of audiences of 20-30 people. I don't think that it can be considered as "played regularly", he has always tried to keep it secret. He has played it during the Icelandic Sessions in 2008 but that's not enough to say he's been playing TGB regularly for the latest 5 years... The only song he's been playing regularly at proper gigs is The Box.
I think he's just slowly introducing them. First The Box, then, one or two years later, The Greatest Bastard... then maybe another new song in a few months, etc... but I can see the new album coming out with only a very few songs known...
