Country Track Pack v.2 Discussion Thread - Official Information added in first post

[Skeleshredder]

Yep, Ring of Fire is awesome, but literally the only song I'm interested in at this point. It'll be a tough wait for it to get a DLC release, but unless the final few songs are all really good ones, I will be waiting.
Still, Johnny effin' Cash! It's about friggin' time!!

I haven't been to impressed with Harmonixs country choices bruther. Give us some Hank Williams Jr, Charlie Daniels, Charlie Pride, Garth Brooks, and Conway Twitty. Give us some real country music bruther.

I can't find where this has been mentioned before ...

Maybe it hadn't. Not sure, and it's certainly not worth my time to re-read the whole thread to see.

Still, it'd make sense that it'd be cheaper, considering a RB1-based track pack engine already exists.

The people of DLCQuickplay.com have deciphered other songs from the achievement list!

International Heartache by Dwight Yoakam (International Heartachers)
Settlin' by Sugarland (Ain't Settlin')
The One You Lean On - Dan Timinski (The One You Lean On)

And I'll point out just a few others:

*Crash Kings "Mountain Man" --- entered US charts Nov 2009, released to RBDLC Aug 2010 (9 months)
*We Are the Fallen "Bury Me Alive" --- released Feb 2010, released to RBDLC Aug 2010 (6 months)
*Neon Trees "Animal" -- released Mar 2010; to RBDLC Aug 2010 (5 months)
*STP "Huckleberry Crumble" -- released May 2010; to RBDLC Oct. 2010 (5 months)
*Disturbed "Another Way to Die" -- released June 2010; to RBDLC Aug 2010 (2 months)
*A7X "Nightmare" --- released May 2010; to RBDLC July 2010 (2 months)

Since most of those were so recent, maybe the bands/labels gave Harmonix the songs to plug the new material. Particularly in the case of Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold; I don't think Harmonix went out of their way to license songs they hadn't even heard yet. Or maybe they found it easier to release songs that were strong enough on the four existing parts than avoid songs with any traces of keyboard or harmonies for the better part of two years.

Yeah, I was curious about the logic behind that.

I don't see how there would be much difference, aside from the obvious additional music stems that would be charted.

Just looking at the track list for the Country Track Pack 2 and saw that Johnny Cash was on there! That in itself has made me want to purachase the pack despite not being too fond of Country music so big up to HMX for finally getting Cash into RB!

I havn't seen this setlist.... Link?

I hope that Dwight Yoakam's (alleged) inclusion in this Track Pack leads to more DLC from him. He's probably one of the most legitimately rockin' "country" artists out there. Plus, he's been one of my most requested peeps for a long time.

Just to point something out here: The Disturbed pack for the new album actually came out before the album officially launched. I know this since I bought both the album and the pack the day they came out ( I actually got the album pre-order a day before it officially came out) and I remember hearing "The Animal" for the first time on rock band then getting the album a few days later.
