The hints all lead up to a Rolling Stones pack, of course. People have wanted this band since Day #1 and "Gimme Shelter." For variety, we get a well-known track, a lesser-known fan favorite, and a true deep cut. As for the tracks themselves, just take a look:

"Sympathy for the Devil" (fire, 666)
"Hang Fire" (fire)
"Route 66" (666 minus 1... 1 digit, that is)

I'm reminded of a few lyrics from Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World", which might be one of the singles.
"I don't feel like Satan but I am to them" Fire and 666
"There's one more kid that will never go to school, never get to fall in love,never get to be cool." -1

So, variety, which means a bunch of singles. And 2012, so that means three songs. 666 and -1? I would say that it clearly is a reference to the songs being just short of hell to play. So obviously a prog pack.

If we get "Baby's On Fire" and its not by Die Antwoord I will be a very sad panda.

Seriously though ... some RBN authoring group needs to get Die Antwoord in RB.

Being the actual day of the 5th anniversary, I'm not sure we can go with patterns here. I'm thinking it's more than three.

666 -1 on all numbers? so 555?

The only release we had from them was a 6 pack.

On Mylo Xyloto, there are the songs: "Up In Flames" and "Major Minus".

- "Paradise"
- "Princess Of China (Featuring Rhianna)"
- "Shiver"
- "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face"
- "Violet Hill"
- "Talk"

I can totally see this happening since Coldplay is also releasing a live album/DVD this Monday, even if cross-promo songs/packs have become a rarity.

I could see this. 555-pack

Maybe three five-packs

I think it is Bruce Springsteen, I'm on fire, because I personally think he is the devil (666) and the -1 is the daddy who isn't home.
