Official Discussion: DLC Week of 2/21 - Megadeth 3 Pack!

[Doc_SoCal]

Hey gang,

For close to 30 years thrash metal pioneers Megadeth have wowed listeners with their brutal yet melodic sound, recording a number of platinum records and selling out arenas worldwide. On February 21st, “Megadeth Pack 01” brings three of the band’s tracks to the Rock Band Music Store.

1992’s Countdown to Extinction was an instant hit, debuting at #2 on the Billboard charts, thanks in part to the strong single “Symphony of Destruction,” the first track in this three pack of headbangers. The second track in the pack is “À Tout le Monde,” from Megadeth’s sixth studio album, 1994’s Youthanasia. This collection is rounded out by “Public Enemy No. 1” from the band’s latest record, 2011’s TH1RT3EN.

"This is an awesome game and fans get to play a cross-section of our best songs ever," said Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine. "I am going to have to learn my songs all over again!"

These three tracks add to an ever-growing library of Megadeth’s music that's playable in Rock Band; their classic records Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying? and Rust in Peace are also available for download in their entirety on the Rock Band Music Store. The band is currently touring North America, headlining the traveling festival Gigantour alongside Motörhead, Volbeat, and Lacuna Coil.

Public Enemy Number 1 is "eh".

F*** yeah to the other 2. We desperately need Sweating Bullets or Angry Again though. Or High Speed Dirt.

[russianfork]

YES! Insta Buy, would've loved to see Trust in it though.

[Cipher_Peon]

More Megadeth!!! Awesome!
They still didn't pick the Megadeth song from my super secret USL, though :P

[dinoman]

YES! Finally! SoD is on RB now the only song missing from Megadeth is She-Wolf

[JBlack240]

Well at least we got more metal. I'll be getting all three.

[dog037]

MEGADETH!

Wish they'd picked Sweating Bullets or something instead of A Tout Le Monde.

[Bulzeeb]

The Anarchy Club for RBN has my attention.

[Sgoast]
