Greetings, Rocksmith fans!
Today’s clue has been solved, and while one artist has been confirmed in this mixed singles four-pack, we have few clues to go on as to what the other three are.
That’s right, the highly-requested Edgar Winter instrumental Frankenstein, whose music video possibly invented the act of wearing of a keyboard around one’s neck like a guitar, is coming to Rocksmith in the first non-themed DLC pack of highly requested Singles. If you thought the Love Singles hint was vague, get ready to start guessing all weekend for this one, although Dan did mention one other hint:
Given the hundreds of artists to choose from, it’s not likely any one of us will pick the correct one, much less the correct song. And since this is a compilation of singles that were all highly requested, your guess is quite literally as good as mine as to what they are.
So what are we going to see next Tuesday? Since we will be seeing one song from an artist already represented in-game, perhaps the Riff Repeater editors could give their own ideas:
Daniel’s Pick:
The Who: Eminence Front
Of course it isn’t that likely, but it’s one of my most requested songs on Rocksmith. With one of John Entwistle’s best basslines on offer and an intricate guitar line courtesy of Townsend (both live and on the studio version), I was hoping this song would come with the original Who pack from last year. Here’s hoping for a second Who pack in the near future if this isn’t the case.
Fenton’s Pick:
Silversun Pickups: Lazy Eye
One of the alt rock favorite’s more popular tracks, the Silversun Pickups have been missing in action since the first Rocksmith title. While the band has been featured in many music games over the years, both as disc songs and DLC, they’ve stayed suspiciously away from the real guitar limelight. Could this be the first we see of them again, or will be waiting for a whole pack?
Ted’s Pick:
The Clash: Rock the Casbah
I have a degree in Rocksmithology that I made in Photoshop and printed off myself so it is in my expert opinion that the Clash pack we received back in 2013 was criminally only made up of 3 songs. Great songs, sure, but any fan of the band knows it only scratched the surface of what they have to offer. So why not offer up a single, the band’s highest charting single mind you, to tide us over until the inevitable Clash #02 pack? I also suggest Rebel Yell by Billy Idol or Le Freak by Chic as the single but was limited to only one pick. Except I’ve sort of bent that rule by mentioning them here. Don’t tell Elliot!
Oscar’s Pick
Jimi Hendrix: All Along The Watchtower
A highly requested single that may not have made the cut in time for the 12 pack in December? Maybe Oscar is onto something. Besides, Rock Band got it.
Elliott’s Pick:
David Bowie: Ziggy Stardust
Highly requested single from an artist already in Rocksmith? Ok, well I know what I’d pick and I hope I’m right! Keeps with the Guitar Hero theme at the very least.
Will @UbisoftStudioSF chart the synth?
What 70’s-80’s singles are you expecting from next week’s DLC? Now that we’ve taken care of something monstrous, what could the two unusual animals be? Let us know!
Wow, totally thought the Accept song was ACDC.
Can’t wait for Balls To The Wall and today is a good day today.
I agree, the swagger that Udo struts just goes to show the rock-ness of the guitar riffs that accompany his strutting vocal lines….
The Outfield — I don’t wanna lose your love tonight..would be another great song or Black Sabbath — into the void… Both great guitar songs
Balls to the wall confirmed, goddamn this is going to be awesome.
ah ah ah ah ah ah oh ah ah , ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhhhh
cum on feel the noize would be great but it only leaves the two unusual animal??
flying lizards? Def leppard? Scorpions ( unusual not in their name haha ,, sniff) but id love too get some.. scorpions…iron butterfly ? Flock of seagull ( i think they got a chance since its seem to be a guitar hero pack ) neil young with crazy horse?
Udo Dirkschneider soon to be in the house!
Accept, “Balls to the Wall” confirmed according to facebook.
Balls to the wall and Frankenstein.. This could be the worst pack in a long time. And that says a lot considering the “quality” as of late.
Oh, forgot this last one and I know someone hears me knocking.
We got Rage, but,
where’n da hell is GUERILLA RADIO?
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, “The Lion The Beast The Beat”.
And someone from Facebook made a rather interesting call.
SIR DUKE. I think Superstition or Higher Ground would be better.
Just thought of another one. I’m rather surprised we also don’t have much from the Stones.
Pulling from the long list of what was on Rockband, why haven’t we seen GIMMIE SHELTER yet?
Mommy’s little monster. Just guessing away
If love to see “I Am The Slime” from Frank Zappa. Hell, anything from Zappa. But I ain’t holding my breath.
sorry, “I’d love to see” is what I meant to say. Stupid auto-correct.
Silversun Pickups… Good call. Been requesting them for ages, and i doubt we’d get a pack with Panic Switch already on there
My prediction: Tenacious D – Tribute
It talks about something monstrous. It’s highly requested. It’s kind of a unique song. While I’d like Wonderboy, too, the duo is probably more likely to get a one-off than a pack of songs.
Ha!… Thanks but that’s not it.. Volume is up and last song I played was E standard… I’m guessing it a shot in the wire… There goes $30 on Amazon
I bought a second cable on ebay from a trusted seller, and both work great. Don’t remember the name, but I’d only buy New, personally. Low tunings ruin mine though :/
Got mine from there as well.

It’s possible you have an open in the wiring. I often have to correct the way my son sits with the guitar as the part of his cable that goes into the plug may rest on the floor. Trying to be sure he doesn’t break the wire.
One other thing before you buy that wire. Did you check the “break-away” portion to be sure there’s no obstructions and that the two pieces are fully connected?
My 3 completely random guesses based on what I THINK would be most popular requests (that don’t include the obvious exclusions like Metallica, Zepp, Pink Floyd, Beatles, etc):
Dire Straits – Sultans of Swing
Stevie Ray Vaughn – Pride & Joy
Ozzy Osborne – Crazy Train
Hey guys I’m pissed off… Can anyone help me … My real tone cable is not working at all!!!… These things r such crap… I’ve called every store in town can’t find one anywhere
Is the volume turned off on your guitar? Or is it in a really low tuning? Both would cause it to not register/work well.
There is some basic troubleshooting to be done:
1) can you confirm that it’s a cable issue? Have you tried multiple guitars? Or tried your guitar in an amp to be sure it’s not the guitar?
2) have you tried plugging the cable in a different USB port? I know my real tone cable doesn’t work when plugged in the USB 3.0 port on my computer.
3) have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting the quick-release thingie that’s about 4 inches from the USB connector? That also solves some issue with cable
4) is the cable showing up in the Devices control panel? You might be able to update the driver from there.
PJ, I’ll give you $5 for your busted Rocksmith cord. That goes for everyone else too. Contact me at Gilbert Neck Jig on Facebook. If you want we can swap for a neck caul that I’ve sold hundreds of on ebay and you’ll get a trade worth $7.00+.
I’m that one guy who wants Joy Division, Transmission plz.
Edgar winter???cmon rocksmith ur reaching now… The past few weeks,some of these picks have really stunk up the 🙁
I’m that one guy who wants Joy Division, Transmission plz.
Fully agree with you. I’m wondering if they are having a hard time affording big artist or if the new rock games are making it hard to license
Frankenstein is reaching?? It’s one of the most well-known instrumental songs out there and is super fun on guitar.
Seriously man, your bitching is getting old. I would rather have that one lady from Facebook and/or David Lane (THIS!) Back. At least their whining was entertaining.
Find something good or positive to post. Sheesh.
Amen to that. Frankenstein is a good choice.
DRAGULAAA
Well whatever it is I hope its not in drop C tuning that bass sound for No One Knows is pure shite so disappointing. They need to stick to standard and maybe drop D because lower tunings just annoy people by sounding bad and missing notes.
No One Knows sounds good when I play it… and detuning is never annoying IMO. Seems like you might need more practice with lower tunings and having a lighter touch.
Sure, it sucks when the game doesn’t register because of the tunings but you don’t have to straight up BAN them.
Plus, wouldn’t it be kinda boring if EVERY SONG was on E standard (and drop D).
