    With epic guitar parts that helped shape a generation of musicians, it’s no surprise that Harmonix chose to break new ground with Def Leppard, authoring additional Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrades for every track in this stellar six pack.

    The amazing tracks span the Def Leppard catalog, including 1981’s High ‘n’ Dry (“Bringin’ On the Heartbreak”), 1983’s Pyromania (“Photograph”, “Rock of Ages”) and “Undefeated”, a new cut from Def Leppard’s recent album Mirrorball: Live & More. Also from Mirrorball: Live & More are two amazing live versions of mega hits from 1987’s Hysteria, “Animal (Live)” and “Pour Some Sugar on Me (Live)”.

    As always, songs available as downloadable content for Rock Band 3 feature five-button guitar and bass parts, drums, Pro Drums, and keys, Pro Keys and harmonies, where applicable. Some songs also feature Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrades available for an additional $0.99 upgrade download.

    Wasn't the Queen pack from Nov. the first with all pro upgrades?

    I feel like I already have Photograph because of Pleasure Pleasure. Regardless, Def Leppard is awesome and having them all Pro Guitar tracks is even better!

    hmxhenry confirmed it on Twitter. I was a little skeptical when it said first pack with all pro upgrades.

    Nice! I absolutely love that version of Pour Some Sugar on Me. Cannot wait!

    Absolutely stoked for this. Def Leppard's been one of my most requested bands since RB1 came out. Nice selections, too, and Mirror Ball was a surprisingly good live album considering Joe's voice lacks volume and power now.

    I'm a fan of Def Leppard. Now, I dunno about RB playability, but I certainly like the band.
