That's a lot of pure unadulterated rock right there - I might pick it up. Although it's a bit on the pricey side, I'm not sure you can put a price on rocking out and hollering T.N.T., Dirty Deeds, or dum dum dum THUNDAAA.
If these are studio tracks then I'm all for it, if they're live tracks then it's a big boatload of fail.
@JamnOnTheOne: I don't mean to be an ass, but did you read the full post? The tracks are from Live at Donington, a DVD/Blu-ray of a live performance recorded in August 1991. In other words, they're live tracks. That doesn't make them any less awesome, though -- hell, in some cases, the Live at Donington versions are slightly better than the studio tracks! Definitely track down the DVD and give it a rental or something -- it's a rockin' good two hours of fun.
@Samit: This actually isn't the first Wal-mart video game exclusive, they somehow got Chibi Robo Park Patrol for the DS exclusive.
@Jamn: Considering it says ACDC >LIVE< ROCK BAND TRACK PACK, and its the same set list as their live cd, do the math and be ready for you're dumb ass fail.

@yaisuah: Interesting. Well, with that sentence, I was just going off of the New York Times article, so I've now amended the article so the factual error has disappeared. Thanks for the heads-up!
@Yaisuah: Oh the irony. "...do the math and be ready for you're dumb ass fail."
Interesting use of "you're", I must admit.

Oh great, how the fuck do i get this for the ps3, im in Ireland.
This could be the track pack that gets my dad to play this game.

Honestly, I don't need this much AC/DC in Rock Band. Aside from their staples, I'm not a huge fan of the band. Plus, all of these tracks sound the same, anyhow.
;)
;)
great! a standalone disc that only plays AC/DC...
i would MAYBE get this if you had to buy a voucher or something for DLC..
then again Nick Chester is right... they all sound the same.

I like the idea of this but I think for the price you should also get a copy of the "Live in Donington" DVD along with the game if they are selling as a stand alone disc... but then again I am cheap.
I'm with Agent MOO on this one. A bit expensive, but I've been wanting to play a good number of these songs on Rock Band/Guitar Hero for awhile, so I'll pick it up anyways. :D
@J03yyz:
If you notice, it says "All tracks from the AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack will also be available for play in Rock Band and Rock Band 2." There's probably some sort of Disc Export.

My question is,
Is a difficulty level for any Ac/Dc song even needed?
I'm a huge fan of the band, but all of there stuff is in 4/4 and very simple song structure.
But then again, Back in Black is the biggest selling album in history only 2nd to thriller, so you cant put the band down for that...they are fucking loaded bastards.
P.S/ The fact that these are all live tracks is cool, but when a band plays live they always get off time a bit...that might piss off some people and start more tv/game latency issues.

Hmm... kinda want, but I'd also prefer master tracks. Hopefully those will eventually show up as DLC.
@weedgan.. most rock songs are in 4/4 basically for the drummer. one of the few bands i can think of rite now that strays from that is Rush, and only because Neil Peart is unbelievably amazing.
and really, the only one hard enough to be on rock band is thunderstruck.. everything else can be played on a real guitar by most people.. lol it mostly centers around B, A, and E power chords played with some heavy distortion..

@caster I can think of dozens of bands that don't play in 4/4 so maybe you're only thinking of shitty radio bands... you know, the same guys that can't play a guitar solo so they just dropped those from their music.
Megadeth, Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies, Nevermore, Nuclear Assault, just a few bands that don't always use 4/4.
So anyway, if this is a standalone, will there be achievements?

It kindof makes sense for it to be live, considering you're playing for an audience in the first place.
It will just add even more enthusiasm to the crowd! :)
Also, if you're pretty much ripping these to put them on your hard-drive from the disc, will you have to register it or something, to keep from just passing it around virally?

I did read the full post and frankly this statement confused me. An official promo site contradicting a NYT piece. I had assumed it was studio tracks arranged in an order to mirror the live set based on the information I read from the promo site.
"While the promo site itself doesn’t say so, the NYT piece confirms that the 18-track set list is, indeed, taken from the band’s seminal 1991 performance at England’s Castle Donington, which was released on DVD (and later, Blu-ray) as Live at Donington [aside: I own the Blu-ray, and it rocks]. "

I was totally sold for 18 songs for $30, even if I'd normally prefer not to shop at Walmart, but $40 for the next-gen versions? Eh...
@ JoshDunford
They come with a code that allows you to export them, and I'd assume it's a one-use code.

Bah, I knew it wouldn't be that easy!!
Even so, the price sounds good for what you're getting, live or not.
Most of these are pretty much their biggest hits. The only problem I have is with everyone else: AC/DC really does sound very similar from song to song. Andrew W.K. went to the same school of music. That dude LOVES to fuckin' party.

Either way...This should be looked at just like Guitar hero: Aerosmith.
If you balked at that because of the short track list, you should not buy this...Else, hello hypocrisy!

Oooh. I called it.
Yes, please. Thanks.
This, plus the free 20 downloadable songs they're releasing by the end of the year will be more than enough Rock Band for me. Score.
