I was just looking at the track listing for both the album and the "collector's edition" of the album. There is one song on the Rock Band Track Pack that is not on either album. "Hell Ain's a Bad Place to Be" is not listed as a track for either verson of the album which means Rock Band has an exclusive, never before released live verson of an AC/DC song.
Here is the track list from the collector's edition with the Track Pack songs highlighted:
1 Thunderstruck Young, Young 6:35
2 Shoot to Thrill Johnson, Young, Young 5:23
3 Back in Black Johnson, Young, Young 4:28
4 Sin City Scott, Young, Young 5:40
5 Who Made Who Johnson, Young, Young 5:15
6 Heatseeker Johnson, Young, Young 3:37
7 Fire Your Guns Young, Young 3:40
8 Jailbreak Scott, Young, Young 14:43
9 The Jack Scott, Young, Young 6:57
10 The Razor's Edge Young, Young 4:35
11 Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Scott, Young, Young 5:02
12 Moneytalks Young, Young 4:29
13 Hells Bells Johnson, Young, Young 6:01
14 Are You Ready Young, Young 4:34
15 That's the Way I Wanna Rock 'N' Roll Johnson, Young, Young 3:57
16 High Voltage Scott, Young, Young 10:33
17 You Shook Me All Night Long Johnson, Young, Young 3:54
18 Whole Lotta Rosie Scott, Young, Young 4:30
19 Let There Be Rock Scott, Young, Young 12:17
20 Bonny Traditional 1:03
21 Highway to Hell Scott, Young, Young 3:53
22 T.N.T. Scott, Young, Young 3:48
23 For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) Johnson, Young, Young 7:17
Not in track listing: Hell Ain't A Bad Place to Be I just thought that was interesting and I didn't see anyone else mention it.
I also find it interesting that the bolded songs come out to just over 107 minutes (excluding "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be") whereas the press release says over 99 minutes. Guess that means some of the songs from the CD will be trimmed down some...
Anyway, I just noticed these things today while answering someone's question in the Album Review thread and thought I would mention them here...

Very interesting. And it's a pretty good song too. I was disppointed to see that Who Made Who was on the album track listing and didn't make it into Rock Band - it's one of my favourite songs from them. Oh well, it's just a small gripe really. This will be awesome! And no, I am not in the camp of people saying "I'm not gettig it because it's too expensive". And I would be willing to pay even more per song for Led Zep, Beattles, etc. Hopefully this will open doors for other "big name artists".

I did see a reply from HMXSean saying it would be available in Canada everywhere and not just at Wal-Mart. I pre-ordered at EBGames and should get it Sunday. Let me see if I can find HMXSean's post.
Edit: it was a post from HMXHenry - http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94991&highlight=canada - hopefully link works.

"Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" wasn't on either "Live" CD release, but it has been previously released on the "Live at Donnigton" DVD.
I don't think comparing the Rock Band Track Pack to the "Live" CD is entirely valid. Both the single and double CD "Live" releases are culled from more than one performance on the Razor's Edge Tour in 1990 and 1991.
The Track Pack is actually the Donnington setlist, from a specific show on August 17, 1991. This was also the Razor's Edge Tour. This single show was not released on CD to my knowledge, only on DVD. But it's 18 songs on the DVD, and those are the same 18 songs in the Track Pack - "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" on both.

Yes, the AC/DC Track Pack will be available in Canada. It should be available at most major game retailers, but you should call to check on availability first.
We've been trying to answer these questions from Canadians on a post by post level, but the main Announcement has just been updated with the same info. You will have Rock in the Great White North.

Really the only songs that are missing that I would really really really want from AC/DC is:
Girls Got Rhythm
Touch Too Much
Shot Down In Flames
If You Want Blood
Night Prowler
Rock N' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
If I got those 6 songs in addition to the ones on the track pack... yea, that's be all the AC/DC I need in the game.

Has it been stated how the songs will export on PS3? Will it require a license/key downloaded from the PSN store, like the RB1 export did? (except free instead of $5). Or did they figure out a different way to export with just the disc? Because if we need something from the PSN store, that doesnt get updated until Thursday, so we won't be able to export for 2 days.

You will want to make sure that the AC/DC Track Pack is from the same region as your copy of Rock Band. Importing is kind of sticky, but it's my understanding that the Track Pack will function in much the same way that the DLC does in that you won't be able to mix and match between local and imported content. We're working hard to eliminate the problems associated with importing by pushing RB2 and the AC/DC Track Pack out in as many countries as possible right out of the gate.

Is the Jailbreak track really going to be 14 minutes like on the CD? That has the guitar solo and a long boring part in the middle.

Blockbuster: No listing,no game (cause if it's sunday they'd have it now),no clue and no they can't take a trade in because it's not in their system so there goes my plan.
Wal-Mart: No game,no idea...as usual.
Futureshop: Never heard of it,I'm the first to ask about it,thought I was talking about Guitar Hero Aerosmith.
Local rental store: Never heard of it,first to ask about it,thought I was talking about GHWT but said they'll look into it if it's not there tomorrow. (they put out RB 2 and GHWT early the last 2 weeks)
Of course based on today and logic for review scores that will be in the 0-5 range it's probably going to massively fail and be reduced to $20 in 2 months or less anyway so trade-in plan failure doesn't much matter anymore.

I'm not sure but this may have been answered in a previous post. Could someone tell me who is singing each track? I am hoping for a mix of both Brian Johnson and Bon Scott. Thanks.....

10-30-2008, 03:19 PM
brian johnson every track, bon scott died almost 30 years ago
the entire track pack is live, so its not even possible for them both to be on it anyways
ian849
10-30-2008, 04:22 PM
So I guess the If You Want Blood (Live) album in 1978 doesn't count as a live concert album. I know Bon Scott died 30 years ago but that doesn't mean they can't use some of the tracks from that in Rock Band? Could you post a source as to where it is listed as Brian Johnson on all tracks? I read somewhere that it was a mix of multiple concerts. I just can't remember where I saw it. Thanks.
EDIT: I forgot to mention Bonfire - The best of ACDC Bon Scott Era. The first and second discs are live concerts from 78 (New York) and 79 (Paris) featuring Bon Scott.

Wow. What a bunch of whiners.
If you have a problem with not being able to pick individual songs - take it up with Angus, Malcolm, Brian, Phil, and Cliff. I'm sure they are heartbroken that you can't cherry pick songs. They'll probably change their stance on digital song licensing JUST FOR YOU.
No iTunes, no problem - Black Ice is # 1 in 29 countries right now.
You think the track pack is too expensive? - don't buy it. Stop crying about how things should have been, and grow a pair.

I asked the dude in charge at Blockbuster today and he said they're not getting it. Local store didn't have it either. I told the guy at Blockbuster it was 18 songs for $40 so I'd rather rent it,he replied they were good but not that good.
Guess that means I won't be able to get it at all unless Wal-Mart gets it since they were just clueless. Very poor showing here. Wanted the most people to be able to get it but now I've been told I probably can't. Not that I'd get it right now anyway if I couldn't trade it in. Hope the same mistake hasn't been made with The Beatles.

I really hope that the Bon Scott songs are sung by Bon but it is looking unlikely. I'll still buy it though.
I don't care much about the price or the decision to deliver it in disc format. If they had decided to offer this as DLC I would have lost the opportunity to trade in GH:WT to get the AC/DC pack!

For those of you who want to see if you can get your AC/DC track pack early like I did, go to this Walmart link:
http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=2636&ic=48_0&search_query=ac%2Fdc&Find.x=0&Find.y=0&Find=Find
Once to the page click on the Find In Store link (Looks like this link is only available for the 360 and PS2 versions). When you click on the link it will ask for your zip code and state, enter it in and it will bring up a list of Walmarts in your area that have it. The ones that it brought up for me said In Stock next to it, so I went to the Walmart that was closest and sure enough, about 30 copies all lined up in the case.
See you all online tonight!

Tried to download the songs to the hard drive for use in RB2, successful! It doesn't even pull them off of the disc, it is a download from Live Marketplace.

Well, I've played it and beat it. Had some friends over. We were all a little skeptical of it, none of us are huge AC/DC fans but by the time it was over, we had nothing but good to say.
It's really an epic set and the live sound just enhances that. People might've complained at first about these being live versions, but once you play this, you will change your opinion.
Also, anyone that thinks the drums are not fun is wrong. They were mostly much much more fun than Let There Be Rock.
That being said, Let There Be Rock is a nightmare live. It seemed that at any moment things could descend into chaos. Jeez.
Also, Jailbreak is very long. The BRE at the end of For Those About to Rock is so long that we started laughing during it.
We played it in one sitting, so it was even more of a live feel. Thunderstruck took me by surprise on expert guitar, but once you get it down it's not that hard, although it is still quite a workout for your wrist.
That's about all I have to report. I didn't think you'd be able to export the songs until Tuesday so I didn't try it, but I will do it tomorrow. It was hard going back to RB1 hammer-ons, and I wonder if it will have any chord hammer-ons?
I will be happy to answer any questions if anyone has em', but I think everything has been covered so far.

So to all those people still whining about the price, you so quickly and conveniently forget the original DLC annoucement back when Rock Band's ala carte system was first annouced.
Songs were going to primarily cost $1.99, but could be as little as $0.99 and as much as $2.99 based on licensing agreements.
So we saw the kinds of songs that would be discounted, and now we know what kinds of songs would cost more.

Seeing how no one knows what it is,the price/song ratio,missing features,running on the RB 1 engine,what the reviews will be because of those 2 things,it only being available in Wal-mart and as I see now on their website only "In Limited Stores" I think you overestimate how much this will sell. Can't buy it if it's not there even though they wanted to "get it to as many people as possible".
supersonic1414
11-01-2008, 03:49 PM
If they tell you they don't have it, ask for a manager and tell him the ads are in their store showing Nov 2. Managers will usually find it for you as they don't want any complaints

The vast majority of game buyers don't care about reviews. Many don't care about it running on the Rock Band 1 engine. The fact that it has "AC/DC" slapped on it is enough for it to sell like hotcakes.
Also, Walmart is a very frequented store. AC/DC obviously trust that a lot come there, because they went so far as to sell their new album exclusively through Walmart.
I mean, Back in Black is one of the highest selling albums of all time, so it's not a stretch to think hat something like this will follow. I don't think the Walmart exclusivity will hurt much, either.

Just got back from a 24 hour Wal-Mart here in the north side of Kansas City. Not only did they not have it, the person behind the counter claimed it wasn't even on the release list. She even showed me the release list they have and she claimed there was nothing scheduled for release in that store for today.
No idea what's up, but I'm not about to go driving around tonight to other Wal-Marts just to find it. It can wait until later in the morning.

It's not an export, it's a download. There's a code that comes with it that redeems downloadable content, and yes, it's all one file. The disc doesn't even need to be put in the drive.
Just finished playing through the songs. I'm not an AC/DC diehard. I have a few of their early albums, but I haven't pulled them out in years. But even having said that, this pack was well worth the price of admission.
The sound of the tracks is incredible. Lots of great touches. The live cheering before Thunderstruck, the shouts of "Angus" before Whole Lotta Rosie, the call and response during High Voltage (vocalists prepare to become self-conscious), Brian Johnson's various grunts and growls, and severe mic feedback at one point. Jailbreak sets a Rock Band record for rock excess (you will cry if you fail out anywhere near the end). Not sure I would want to come across it on a random setlist that often, but the first time through, it's a lot of fun.
There's not an ounce of filler in the pack. All the songs are great with the possible exception of Let There Be Rock, which doesn't compare to the studio version on RB2. Forget the difference between Bon Scott and Brian Johnson or the charting (the riffs on the live version are easier, the solos harder). What makes it somewhat annoying there's a basic riff stuck in the middle that doesn't go anywhere except on and on and on and a ridiculously long BRE. Playing with friends, it's an excuse to goof around and go nuts. Playing by yourself, you'll be checking your watch.
Run out and get it, folks. It's worth even walking into the dreaded Wal-Mart. You won't be disappointed.

Anyone planning on staging an epic concert that may one day be a Rock Band Track Pack played in setlist order and not based on difficulty, take note: please do not start your show with the hardest guitar bit in the set. By the time I was able to pass the opening riff of Thunderstruck, I had THE CLAW, and then there was nothing else in the game that I failed more than once....nothing I couldn't force my way through with overdrive when I knew it was coming.
I'm going to have to ice my wrist now. Way to go AC/DC! Show a little foresight next time!

It's not an export, it's a download. There's a code that comes with it that redeems downloadable content, and yes, it's all one file. The disc doesn't even need to be put in the drive.
so if i ask a friend of mine that lives in US to buy a copy and email me(i live in europe) the code i can download the songs?

They haven't. They've done the opposite. They've excluded it. There is no (real) crowd and no crowd sing-a-longs. Just the normal crowd sounds that come with regular DLC.

Run out and get it, folks. It's worth even walking into the dreaded Wal-Mart. You won't be disappointed.
Great, so not only did my Walmart not have it, but I wouldn't even need it since I am not going to play it standalone? What the hell is the point, put it up in the sony store already I'll buy all tracks invidiually if I have to. :mad:

Just wanted to add my story to the mix. I was unable to locate the game today also. I tried a Super Wal-Mart, two regular Wal-Marts and a Sams Club. None of which had the game in stock or anyone capable of answering when it would be available. I'd also mention that all three Wal-Marts had signs in electronics advertising the disc with today clearly listed as the release date. Very very frustrating...

I thought about starting a new thread for this, and I still might, but the vocals in these tracks are extremely quiet, a bit worse than usual. I tried turning down everything besides the vocals, but apparently these vocals are attached to one of the other tracks, so they just get even quieter. Not entirely unlike the Fake Steven Tyler problem.

I too had trouble today. I went to three different walmarts before I found my copy. Apparently even though it is a walmart exclusive it is not available at all walmart locations. I think part of the deal with having to release it to one store exclusively should be making sure they put it in ever single one of their stores. It's just ridiculous to make people hunt to find the certain stores that actually have them.
Great, so not only did my Walmart not have it, but I wouldn't even need it since I am not going to play it standalone? What the hell is the point, put it up in the sony store already I'll buy all tracks invidiually if I have to. :mad:
It won't be going up in the Sony Store or the XBLM because AC/DC doesn't like digital distribution. This technically is, but you have to buy the disc first and you can't delete individual songs because you download the whole pack.

Went to our local wal-mart. They say there are no copies... Went to the one 20 miles away and they have an entire free-standing thing with dozens of copies out in the open, un-locked. Nice.
Gotta say that I'm a bit dissapointed by the fact that you do NOT need the disc. Why did I have to drive out and buy this if it was all DLC anyway? Pretty lame. I know Harmonix wouldn't have done this so AC/DC must have made this requirement. I love them, but I wonder if it's just about the money. Apparently money does talk.

OFFICIAL BASS GUITAR IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ACDC PACK
The secret achievement of playing in any mode with 4 players does not work if you use the official premium rock band bass guitar. It is detected as a microphone instead. I have the ion drums which are detected as drums. The guitar which is detected correctly. The microphone is detected ok. However bass guitar is detected as microphone so I only get credit for 3 instruments.
MooTrain
11-04-2008, 01:18 AM
Well, after my little walmart adventure yesterday getting the game, I didn't get around to playing it until tonight. Keep in mind, I've done zero reading about what's available on the disc, and have no idea what I'm in for, other than the 18 tracks.
I stick the disc in, and do a little searching through the menus - no export option to be found like in Rock Band 1 - and these menus sure do look like Rock Band 1. That's weird.
Anyways, grab my plastic gibson and jump into single player. It didn't find my characters from Rock Band 1 or 2, but that's not to be expected. I name my character and... wait. No creation screen. Just a name your character screen. Okay. Cool. I get to the setlist and Thunderstruck is the only song available. Awesome, I'm going to rock this setlist. I grab expert, get started in thunderstruck and ... immediately fail out at 12%. I'm awesome! I start up thunderstruck again and repeat the failing out process at 12%. Awesome! We've got ourselves a Joker and the Thief level of difficulty song - as the FIRST SONG OF THE SETLIST! Music-game novices beware, this is not the game for you!
Not a single other song is unlocked, and I don't feel much like dropping to hard at this point - I give up my dream of rocking out with the setlist right on the disc, and proceed to begin the export process. I check the manual and exit the game, to redeem my code. The download starts.
So ummm...
Why'd I have to buy a disc if I had to suck down a 720MB download, anyways? So if you're not on XBox Live, you've got a really slow download to enjoy. Hell, I'm on a really fast internet connection and it still took over an hour before I could get back to rocking.
There's a lot of things to take issue with here - the disc itself is useless - there's nothing special about the release at all other than it being more DLC, and the packaging will forever sit on my shelf, never to be inserted into my XBox again. You can't make your own characters - which means if you're xbox live deprived in rural areas or for whatever reason, you can't get the songs into the RB2 engine and you can't play AC/DC with your own characters - How difficult would it be to grab your characters from rock band 1 anyways? I wouldn't imagine too difficult. Or at least the full-featured engine, instead of the stripped down version.
Keebler
11-04-2008, 10:28 PM
There's way too much dead weight and live tomfoolery that renders a lot of the songs annoying (the middle of "Let There Be Rock" is still too much of the same... the random wankery at the beginning of "Highway to Hell" renders this song unplayable it's so annoying... the random solo at the end of one song, right before the BRE). I mean, I get it. These are live songs as performed at Live at Donington. But still, there's way too much live wankery that does not translate well into the game, in my opinion. Anyone else?

I don't really even like AC/DC's music very much, but I thought the pack was really really great. Live shows translate so well to Rock Band, I kind of almost feel that all songs should be live versions. You are, after all, performing live in Rock Band (at least your characters are). And playing for 99 minutes straight of live music, I actually really started to feel like I was playing a live show. It was a blast!
I just wish I liked the music more...

I have the ion drums which are detected as drums. The guitar which is detected correctly. The microphone is detected ok. However bass guitar is detected as microphone so I only get credit for 3 instruments.
Check the bass for a little switch on the back, which selects either a "rock band 1" or a "rock band 2" mode. You're probably in Rock Band 2 mode, and since the Track Pack is running on the RB1 engine, the game reads it wonky. But flip that switch and you should be fine.
From what I understand (since I don't actually have the bass), the reason for that switch is so that RB2 will recognize it as a bass guitar, and it will only play bass parts in the game. Since RB1 doesn't have that handy gimmick coded into the game, putting the bass in RB1 mode makes it read as a normal guitar controller.

How come there hasn't been any news about the release issues anyway? Just had to vent!!!

I didn't get to read all the other posts so sorry if this is a repeat. But when playing Thunderstruck while the Rock Band 2 disc is in; the note chart is rather different, considering the opening lick isn't all hammer-ons and pull-offs like it is when the AC/DC disc is in. What gives? Can we possibly get an update?
And I like the fact that they are all live versions of the songs... it adds to the feel that you are actually playing this song for a crowd rather than playing the song just to hear it in it's studio mastery. And Live at Donnington is amazing! Just saw AC/DC in Chicago and they still rock hard even though they are quite old for rock stars!

I finally got this today as an early birthday present. Have to say I'm still not thrilled with the live versions. I keep finding myself wanting to play a note that isn't there because the two versions are different. I'm expecting something and my mind says strum when I shouldn't. Oh well, some AC/DC is better than none.
I have to ask this though. I didn't download the songs, but instead played them off the disk. Is there a reason why there is no auto calibration like in RB1? Instead it's all manual and for someone who has had zero problems with RB1's auto calibration, it was quite annoying not having it here. I just pray that RB2 has auto calibration built in the game (not the new strat method).

I have two quick questions about the AC/DC pack -- I'm thinking of hopefully picking it up today. I've no doubt they've been asked/answered in one of the 876 (!) posts here, but my cursory glance at the last 3-4 pages didn't reveal the answer.
1. Assuming I want to, can I export the songs off the disc to the RB2 library (I believe this is the case, except you actually are downloading from XBLive).
2. Now, let's assume my machine goes bad or -- worse still -- the hard drive crashes. Is it true that the code is only good one time? Obviously - like all my DLC - there'll be a record of my download in XBLive Marketplace (and, I'll still have the original disc) - but, am I then restricted to playing with JUST the disc (i.e., I'll be unable to export the songs into RB2 again?)
Thanks!

Henry here in Australia, the two main Game stores, EB & Game both have no listing for "RB AC/DC" - while I disagree with the tone of the previous post, I don't think it's unreasonable to question whether or not it is still on track for release when December rolls around and there is no additional news on the international release.

That's exactly what it was, was never sold as anything different, it's an outsourced (Pi Studios), stripped down Rock Band Disc with only the AC/DC tracks on it. A way to get around whatever requirements AC/DC placed on HMX to allow them to distribute their tracks.

Thank you and sorry i'm not english!!

^^ What I would do is to buy the track pack, and don't use the code on your brother's PS3...
(Assuming the PS3's version is like the 360's) The track pack comes with a disc as well as a one-time use code to download the songs, much like downloading the 20 free dlc. So you could just put in the disc any time you wanted to play AC/DC on your brother's, and then put the code in on the other PS3 to import them into the Rockband 2 list.
Hope this helps!

Did I do something wrong? I just finished playing through quickplay on drums(playing on the disc, not RB1/2) and 5*'d all the songs in one session/sitting whatever. But I didn't get either achievement.

I didn't either, but then again, I four starred 3 songs. :( Why no achievement for just beating it on expert? Kinda lame.

I read somewhere online (I think Wikipedia or something) that the Rock Band: AC/DC Track Pack is getting discontinued from Walmart store shelves. Is this in any way true?:confused:

That's when you click on the source and see where it's from.

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if all the songs of the AC/DC track pack are extract from the "Live in Donington": a couple of days ago I heard "Highway to Hell" from the DVD "No Bull" recorded in Madrid in '96.
So, are there other songs from others live performance?And which are this songs?
thank you all for the answers!!

I'm pretty sure every track is from from the AC/DC Live CD, which are direct recordings from Donnington.

Thank you for the answer, but if you listen the intro of the ACDC track pack it's extracted from the live in Madrid in '96 versione and not the one from Donington's. Boh, i am just curious to know. :D

Just got the AC/DC game for the PS2 and its amazing. However, for some reason the game is in black and white! Any reason for this? the game is the PAL version which is what I need. Maybe could it be my TV, and if so is there anyway around this.
Also, does anyone know if the microphone from Guitar Hero is compatible with Rock Band games?

Today finally I got AC/DC Live... Here it's a real pain for some games 'cos you have to wait for the US release, then the Euro release, then the Italian one, then you HOPE tha the big store chains will be interested in selling it (I still don't have RB2, perhaps a little shop in my town will have TWO copies of it next week :P ). I never was a big fan of this group, but this has me totally sold out to them... I've already run thru it 2 times with drums in Difficult mode collecting achievements, I just can't wait for tomorrow to play it with other 2 friends- one playing guitar and the other bass guitar :D Me happy camper!!!
BTW no complains for the price, here a simple CD with 14 songs costs around 38$, so the game at a price of 45$ is more or less right...

Is it possible ith GH stuff to play 3 player on this game? That is 2 guitars and microphone. I can only get either both guitars or 1 guitar and mike working. Anyone got any suggestions?

I still think it's a little too pricey here in the UK.
£30 new :\
Why couldn't this of been released as DLC? I would have picked up half the songs...

Wal-Mart just dropped the price on this to $29.99, and its worth $8 credit at Gamestop, so I finally picked it up just to export. I figure $22 isnt bad for this pack.
I just bought it for 29.99 as well. I got the pack that had the T-Shirt and DVD included with it.
So, I am gathering that PS3 users are not able to export these songs to RB2? I didn't read the whole thread.:p

Is it one of the guitar the official bass? 'cos I understood that you have to set the back switch on "RB1" or it will be regarded as a mic...
BTW played on the 360 with 2 guitars and drums, lead guitar was the old USB GH3 for PC...

Its the official guitar from GH:WT, the official guitar from GH:III and the microphone from the GH:WT game im trying to get to all play. Must be doing something wrong in setting it up!

I don't know how much this track pack pleases the AC/DC fans, but for me this was a disappointment. First off, I don't like live renditions of the songs, rather the studio recordings are much better since there is less ambient noises and such. The songs are also sometimes differently "interpreted" when played on stage. Secondly, it would have been nice to see some other "extra" songs there from other similar artists.
After I played through the songs I got the feeling that this is only a 'skeleton' of Rock Band. AC/DC songs dressed in a RB costume. Not even trivia about the band was shown during the loading screens.
At a lower price point this would have worked, but now this seems as a more expensive AC/DC album.
Despite this I still hope that HMX will come out with other track packs like this, but with more effort put into them.

I'm loving this Track Pack. As a big AC/DC fan, I probably would. Some of their biggest hits are in the pack and I've always wanted to play these songs in RB. Back in Black, Hell's Bells, Thunderstruck, all so fun. I'd like to see AC/DC pop more in RB, maybe have a Studio version of the songs.

I liked most of these songs, but mostly because I got this game (without working code =Z) on eBay for $10. Makes me less critical of the songs since they were so cheap. Now I'm working on a work-around for that danged code....

I played this with my friend for the first time Saturday night, he though it was more fun than even RB2 (which he also loved, especially the Rush tracks). The guitar solos and massive BREs had us laughing out loud, it was a blast.

I like AC/DC but for some reason I cant import these songs to my RB2 on PS3.. I wish I knew why. Ive downloaded the stuff twice, installed, no errors, but no songs either.

Of course not. Like I said, the code worked fine, it installed fine, no songs in RB2.

I'm an AC/DC fan but I can't stand Brian Johnson live. Playing Angus Young on guitar was pretty cool, but we can't even hyperspeed without exporting (I have it on PS2 fml). I've played it like twice.

I just bought this last weekend from Future Shop for $10! New! Woot! :D
The code works too. I've downloaded the songs but I haven't installed them into RB2 yet. I'll do that when I'm done experimenting with the TrackPack disc itself.

I just recieved this game and it's pretty cool. Picked up the fan pack (dvd, shirt and game) for $13.00. Completely worth it.
I have a question about the code we are given to download the songs, how many times can I use it? I know it's a one time use code, but does it allow me like three chances to download the songs to my account if something gets screwed up? For instance if my HD goes bad or something.

It allows you infinite chances to redownload the songs to the same account.
