@tweekfu - I actually have no idea. I'll take a look around and give you an update if I find out.

@CycoMiko138 - Yes. Am I Crazy, Rock Band Megamix 01, and Dreaming of Love are all excluded from this achievement.

Have you taken a look at the career goal on your copy of the game to confirm that it does in fact expect you to use these songs?

@SebastianSB - The goal for the achievement doesnt appear if you dont have the tracks for the goal...

i live in Australia and i have 2 of the 4 songs and no goal in my dlc goals for it...
this sucks for ppl outside of the us that dont want to be shifty and get it with a us account

kind of a huge bummer for us Aussies like me that stay legit with accounts and dlc

I'm in Australia and was able to download all 4 songs with no problem. I couldn't find the goal though. But after I played through 4 of them the achievement still unlocked. Maybe they updated it or something :)

No, they do not. To unlock this achievement you have to play those four specific songs.

Here is the TA article on about the removal of "Promised Land" by Vesuvius and how it affects this achievement.

For noobs like me: Completing really means getting at least 3 stars. When I went from 2 to 3 stars on Still Alive it popped.

I wonder if you could enable no-fail mode, let the song(s) play without hitting any notes/phrases and still unlock the achievement.

I've never tested it, but it might work.

Just complete the songs on any difficulty and it will pop, in solo or a band.

I have heard some Sony users have been getting problems downloading these songs off the PSN store. Probably a slight hiccup Sony's, but get the songs while you can (they are free after all). Even if the get the game later on at some point, you can still get the achievement (as long as you have the songs downloaded somewhere). ;P

For some reason 'Headphones On' showed up as $1.00 for me, never grabbed it for RB2 since I had no interest, Thankfully I grabbed 'Promised Land' while it was still free.

Even though I had to buy the song, it did pop the achievement for me.

"Promised Land" seems to be permanently pushed, so no way to get the Achievement.

Just a heads-up. On June 30, "Promised Land" is being removed from the marketplace due to the license expiring.

You must download and beat:

- Stephen & The Colberts - Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)
- Glados - Still Alive
- Miranda Cosgrove - Headphones On
- Vesuvius - Promised Land

It can be done on easy, with all the instruments... except keys of course.

THIS WILL SOON BECOME UNOBTAINABLE:

Get in there quickly. As soon as Vesuvius' "Promised Land" leaves the service there will be no way for those that have yet to download the track can achieve 'Live Free or Die'.

EDIT 2: Others have been reporting it still works. So my suggestion is to just keep trying it until it works.

EDIT: According to Jump Joker this solution is no longer viable:

I can confirm the content has been removed from store. You will get an error message if you try to "purchase" it. I opened a ticket with Microsoft two months ago and after a few escalations, I received an email last night (1/7/2019) indicating the content was not available and they will be updating their site to remove the song listing. I thought I'd post it up here to save people the trouble of trying.
It appears even though the link still works, the song can’t be “purchased”.

ORIGINAL SOLUTION:

I'm just making this to point out a misconception. This achievement is NOT discontinued. The song "The Promised Land" is removed from the Rock Band store, yes. However it is still on the Microsoft webstore on xbox.com.

https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/0CCF00B6-000...

Here is the link to the song's page. Log in, hit download, and it will add the song to your download queue. So if you missed out on downloading the song, you can still get it through that link. I never owned that song and just unlocked the achievement. Please comment below if I can change up wording or if for some reason I am unclear.

As of June 30th, 2013, this achievement is no longer obtainable because of "Promised Land" by Vesuvius being taken off the music store.

To be quite honest, though, I think this achievement is still obtainable.

If you have a LOCAL friend that owns Rock Band 3 for the Xbox 360 AND has Promised Land downloaded, you could play the song at his/her house with your profile signed into their Xbox and STILL get this achievement, assuming you've played the other free songs.

I don't know if this works, though. I have the achievement unlocked so there would be no way for me to test it out. Heck, I don't have a local friend who has Promised Land downloaded, or has Rock Band 3 for that matter.

If someone could test this to see if it works, I'd appreciate it.

Other than that, this achievement is impossible to obtain.

I feel sorry for those who weren't fast enough to download the song, but that's just how it goes sometimes.

This is for the four free songs that were available at launch. They are Charlene by Stephen and the Colberts, Still Alive by GLaDOS and Jonathan Coulton, Promised Land by Vesuvius, and Headphones On by Miranda Cosgrove. All you need to do is pass them on any difficulty and on any instrument.
