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.

Well "Symphony Of Destruction" is finally in the game! That's my favourite Megadeth song, love "Toute Le Monde", pretty overlooked Megadeth song in my opinion, but it sounds like a re-record to me. Thirteen is the only song I'm 50/50 about, may get that at a later date. Nice to get some slower Megadeth songs though.

Megadeth, we haven't seen them since I think 2010. It's about time, but the should have added the songs Guitar Hero has. I would have liked This Day We Fight. It's a good pack though, I wasn't expecting it. Getting it all like always!
Really hoping to get some Rust in Peace pro upgrades soon. I'm not sure if this is a nice start or a telling sign. A Tout Le Monde would have been a good song to have to learn.

Well the entirety of 2011 was RB3 era songs, so yeah...
Terrible pack, IMO. But then again, I hate "Symphony of Destruction" and am not a fan of "Public Enemy No. 1". Not to mention that I already have both of those songs in Rocksmith...

I mean, at the very least we could have gotten some Rust In Peace or Peace Sells upgrades. Sheesh.
This. When I read 'And more!' in the title I assumed it referred to Pro upgrades as well.
Picking up Symphony of Destruction with Pro, but disappointed they didn't throw in something like Hangar 18 and Wake Up Dead Pro upgrades. I'm not huge into metal, but I'm far more likely to pick it up if it has a Pro upgrade, and I'm sure there's a vocal if not large audience that demands more metal Pro upgrades.
(also give us the leaked The Trooper and War Pigs legacy Pro upgrades already guys come on)
