EA Announces Rock Band AC/DC track pack, coming this November

By Jem Alexander

Activision has announced that a new standalone game in the Guitar Hero franchise will ... wait, what? This is a Rock Band title? That's confusing. We thought Rock Band was meant to be a platform for downloadable content, but it seems that EA is taking a leaf out of Activision's book. AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will be available this November in the US (December for Europe) and will feature 18 master tracks from live performances. It will work as a standalone title with your current Rock Band instruments, and is priced as such. The game will set you back just south of $40.

The songs, which we've listed after the break, will also be transferable to Rock Band and Rock Band 2. To do so, you'll need a song export key which, we suspect, may set you back a few dollars. The press release brags that the game includes over 99 minutes of music, but we're still uncertain whether it's worth the price for non-AC/DC fans. We'd rather the tracks were released as DLC instead.
Rock Band AC/DC contains:

  • "Thunderstruck"
  • "Shoot to Thrill"
  • "Back in Black"
  • "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be"
  • "Heatseeker"
  • "Fire Your Guns"
  • "Jailbreak"
  • "The Jack"
  • "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
  • "Moneytalks"
  • "Hells Bells"
  • "High Voltage"
  • "Whole Lotta Rosie"
  • "You Shook Me All Night Long"
  • "T.N.T."
  • "Let There Be Rock"
  • "Highway To Hell"
  • "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)"
