AC/DC
LIVE: ROCK BAND® TRACK PACK:
|
|
AC/DC comes exclusively to Rock Band beginning
this November for the worldwide release of AC/DC
LIVE: Rock Band® Track Pack by Harmonix, the
leading developer of music-based games, and MTV
Games, a part of Viacom's MTV Networks, (NYSE: VIA,
VIA.B). This exclusive deal with Columbia Records
and AC/DC marks the first time ever the band has
included an entire album for video game play, with
18 live tracks from their prolific live performances
becoming available in one electrifying, standalone
game. The AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack allows
players to experience this amazing set list with
Rock Band, Rock Band 2 or other compatible music
game peripherals. Full of the band's classic songs,
the game will be available exclusively in the U.S.
at Walmart and Sam's Club this November as a part
of the retailer's upcoming AC/DC program, and in
retailers throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand
beginning in early December.
"When MTV first launched in 1981, we promised
that people would 'never look at music the same
way again' and, with Rock Band, we continue to fulfill
this commitment," stated Paul DeGooyer, MTV's
Senior Vice President of Electronic Games &
Music. "We're excited to be part of AC/DC's
and Columbia's global plan for the release of their
new album, DVD and now, videogame. Being the first
to present these revered songs in interactive form,
exclusively on the Rock Band platform is a true
honor. For those about to rock with the AC/DC LIVE:
Rock Band Track Pack, we salute you!"
"AC/DC fans can now experience performing
live, on stage with the band," said Columbia
Records co-Chairman Steve Barnett. "An unforgettable
concert is now an ultimate at-home entertainment
experience with the AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track
Pack."
AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will feature the
master recordings from the best of the band's live
performances. The live recording was specially remixed
for Rock Band by Mike Fraser. The game features
18 tracks, with more than 99 minutes of game play
for each instrument:
"Thunderstruck"
"Shoot to Thrill"

Action film megastar Vin Diesel and his Tigon Studios
are again blurring the lines between entertainment
mediums, this time collaborating with Midway in the
design and production of Wheelman to ensure an edge-of-
your-seat gaming experience. Diesel's voice and likeness

a gripping storyline, Wheelman provides an adrenaline-fueled,
cinematic thrill ride guaranteed to leave you breathless.

skilled driver who must infiltrate the Barcelona under
