I don't think they would choose any non-radio songs for a pack unless it was big. But my guess was correct! MORE SHINEDOWN! HELL YES! All you'll ever be is a fading memory of a bully! That song is going to be so awesome on harmonies! They weren't the worst songs on the sound of madness. I found all the sound of madness album good and not a single bad song. They could have had the Sound of Madness on there though. Also, how dare you not bring up Cyanide Sweet Tooth Dragoon!
Anyways, I am super excited and was waiting for Shinedown. I have been wanting to play Bully so badly. I knew it would come with the pack. Second Chance was a song everyone knew was coming. It's key heavy.

Totally somehow forgot Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide. That would have been great. I also really liked Energy on the deluxe version. I just wanted one of the less ballad-y songs.

That "ballad-y song" was one of the most surprisingly okay songs to receive extreme airplay during my last three years of high school. Of course, it didn't come close to Eskimo Joe's Foreign Land, but at least I didn't mind the song.

Might pick it up next week, or might wait a while. I like Bully and Second Chance; would've liked Sound of Madness or Cry For Help instead of The Crow and the Butterfly, but what are you gonna do?

Bryan, I am pretty sure I would take the pro upgrade for second chance. It's a fun acoustic song. Also, the solo on Bully is quite hard on the real guitar, but it's not known well enough for an upgrade. I think maybe they chose an upgrade for that since it's already on Guitar Hero. Anyways, looking at the preview video, they really pushed up the sound for keys on The Crow and the Butterfly. I don't get the hate for it, sure there are more hard hitting songs that could replace it, but it's not a bad song. It's also a meaningful song if you know the meaning behind it. It's about his son saving his life from drugs. I still say this is a pretty good pack if you don't mind a couple ballad songs. If they were doing big packs, I would have hoped for a full album DLC of Sound of Madness with Bully, and perhaps their other new song Unity.
I've heard of Shinedown but I don't know any of their tracks. I recently heard them on Planet Rock (a UK Radio station) but I can't remember what song it was.
BTW, just one song is AOGH.

The delay for Bully is only for the US, and there's a huge delay in DLC for Europeans on PS3 and Wii (as a whole) as of April 1st. So, just to make something clear for myself, is Bully available in the pack for Canadian PS3 users? I hope I phrased it right, so feel free to correct me if I didn't.

It was. But it isn't now so I can guess I can answer my own question then.
Oh, and there's this response from HMXHenry in the discussion thread over there:
"There was an issue with the DLC submission. Sony actually has a 4 week test period, so they've actually agreed to rush this to make sure there's only a 2 week delay. These issues are incredibly uncommon and we'll double down to make sure delays are less likely in the future."
So there we go, Sony did something good for a change. I think...

Well PS3 users can most likely still get Bully if they buy the pack. I doubt that they will have to keep the pack away, since it's not tied to the single. So basically, if PS3 users want the song on time they will have to buy the pack. I say Bully is worth five dollars in itself.
Also Riley, Why do you think harmonies will be broken? They looks just fine to me. I think people are too paranoid. But there better be at least a little bit of harmony animations towards the end of Bully. That is the most epic part of the song.
