Eighteen live tracks in the pipeline for November.

MTV Games and Harmonix today announced that they have entered into a deal with Columbia Records to bring an entire album's worth of AC/DC songs to Rock Band later this year.

“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,” said Paul DeGooyer, MTV’s Senior Vice President of Electronic Games & Music.

“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!"

The full selection of tracks, which will available in the U.S. and various PAL territories by the end of the year, will include the following, each remixed specifically for the game by Mike Fraser:

"Thunderstruck"

"Shoot to Thrill"

"Back in Black"

"Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be"

"Heatseeker"

"Fire Your Guns"

"Jailbreak"

"The Jack"

"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"

"Moneytalks"

"Hells Bells"

"High Voltage"

"Whole Lotta Rosie"

"You Shook Me All Night Long"

"T.N.T."

"Let There Be Rock”

"Highway To Hell”

"For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”

The total price will range from $29.88 (£19.99) for the PlayStation 2 version to $39.98 (£29.99) for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii versions, the latter of which will arrive two weeks after the former's November 2 U.S. Launch.
