Yup, keeping with the Guitar Hero theme, it’s Accept’s Balls To The Wall!
Rounding off the pack is a song you should remember from Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock (it was one of the first announced songs) Tesla’s Modern Day Cowboy, and the awesome classic rock anthem from Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades (and of course Rock Band) All Right Now by Free!

Great stuff, definitely enough guitar work to keep our more advanced players sated.

I don't think you can limit it to just the millenials, but I agree with the rest of your assessment. I don't know what ever happened to checking the songs, deciding you don't like them, and just moving on. When did everyone become so damn important that they *NEED* to tell me how much they disapprove of completely optional content?
I requested the Tesla song and quite a few more of them
Very true
They have pitch shifted songs, check out Boston "Hitch A Ride"
You know what kills me about the constant whining regarding DLC – the fact that people have just become so used to complaining about what they don’t have rather than being grateful for what they do have. In the 80’s, when I first started playing guitar, we had a magazine called Guitar For The Practicing Musician. Each issue contained 4-5 tabbed songs chosen entirely by the magazine staff, and it came out 12 times a year. So we had the opportunity to learn 48-60 songs a year. The songs were varied, from the 60’s to present day, and crossed a variety of artists. We were grateful for what we got and I rarely recall complaints on the letters page. There certainly weren’t letters every month demanding more Metallica. Now we have an interactive piece of software that provides new content EVERY WEEK. With an average of 4 songs weekly, that’s about 208 songs a year!!! And still people complain. It’s a self-centered, narcissistic habit and it probably comes mostly from the “everyone gets a trophy” millennials who don’t seem to understand that the world doesn’t give two shits about them or their desires.
The thing is – if you like the other songs in the pack, then with the pricing, the last song is basically free. A lot of times if I'm just playing for a few minutes I'll steer clear of those "True tuning" songs, but every once in a while, I'll take 30 seconds or so to retune the guitar. If you're fighting a dicey tremolo bridge, it might make sense to pick up a tremol-no or something similar to make tuning less of an issue. My cheap guitar with a tremolo bridge used to have to be tuned about 4 times through before it'd be in tune. My more expensive guitar does just fine with one tune unless I'm going from E standard to Eb standard or something just as dramatic, then it takes going through the strings twice.
Adam Crawford I'd play it. I don't consider them an amazing guitar band by any means, but I like playing music that I like to hear. Also, there's a Nickelback pack, so I don't know if we can use perceived artistic merit as a disqualifier.

It would be cool it RS 2014 could automatically transpose and use different frequencies for A. Transposing might be tough, but being able to shift the eniter song a few frequencies shouldn't be so tough.
I'd rather we have 5 packs of each band, but, that wasn't meant to be. I bought the Free and Edgar Winter songs.
All-American Rejects? Really?
I feel like they're teasing us with some of their more well-known stuff now and are gonna give us a full pack later on. I'm just speculating, of course.
Modern Day Cowboy sounds so badass though! It's a really awesome song that takes a decent amount of skill to play.
Blame the St. Louis fans!
Ah, gracias!! 😀
