Hello Rocksmith fans!
Let’s look at what’s been teased for us this month:
First off: Something Nordic
That’s got to be Volbeat. They’re Nordic, and these newsletter hints usually have one teaser for whatever pack JUST came out. Of course, if it’s not, I’m personally hoping for some a-ha. They’d be awesome.
Update: confirmed by @DanAmrich to be Volbeat.
Next up: EVEN MORE royalty
I think they’re running out of hints! This is the third time they’ve teased royalty! Anyway, conventional wisdom suggests that it’ll be something like Royal Blood or Kings of Leon, however, I’m an unconventional man. I’m predicting something bolder, but something we now know to be obtainable (and might not warrant that press release we’d be expecting). I’m saying the ultimate royalty, the king, Elvis Presley.
Finally: A southern rock icon
Hmmm. Now, this is a tougher one. Lynyrd Skynyrd are certainly iconic, but we already have quite a bit of them in the game, and most of their hits. Same deal with The Allman Brothers Band, and to a lesser extent, Creedence Clearwater Revival. Perhaps it could be something like Outlaws’ Green Grass and High Tides, but does that truly qualify as iconic? In my eyes, there’s only one notable southern rock band we’re missing that can fit that description: ZZ Top! Or Kid Rock. Probably not, though.
As usual, of course, this is just what I think we could be getting. What do you want to see? Let us know in the comments!

Royalty: Ozzy. He is the Prince of Darkness!
What tracks ?
– Diary of a Madman
– Crazy Train
– Bark at the Moon
– Dee
– Let Me Hear You Scream (Promo)
And yours?
I doubt they’d clear it but my choice for “royalty” would be Prince.
“Lynyrd Skynyrd are certainly iconic, but we already have quite a bit of them in the game, and most of their hits.”
Yeah.
What some new stuff by Lamb of God like 512,In words and overlord
Would love some more ccr, however, despite their sound, they’re not southern. Widespread would be amazing,and while I’m at it (and possibly inviting ridicule), Jerry Garcia, and Trey Anastasio are amazing soloists/guitarists. How bout some Dead and Phish. Down with disease? Friend of the devil? Hell I’d take touch of grey! Long odds, but would rule!
Molly hatchet Flirtin’ with Disaster would be pretty cool. Love those riffs.
My vote royalty is KINGS OF LEON… Killer band with plenty of songs to choose from.
It’s gonna be Prince and SRV
Maybe it’s Ted Nugent?
Widespread Panic anyone? Iconic doesn’t alway have to be mainstream, just ask phish and the dead…
Jackyl not iconic but would still be cool…
If it truly is Elvis I just hope they can throw in a few extra songs at no additional cost considering the majority are less than three minutes long and are more rhythm based than lead guitar
What have we all learned from the past 2 months?…. Don’t get ur hopes up for anything good because ubisoft will disappoint you..I set the bar low when it come to dlc releases on Tuesdays,and yet some how it is almost always worse !!… So until You see something off the charts get used to below average dlc!
I hope the rest of July doesn’t disappoint you
That’s the nicest reply I’ve ever seen anybody give PJ-10. Good job for keeping things friendly Elliott.
i love looking at the comment section every week for PJ-10’s entertainment
Hopefully while drinking a nice cup of tea
THIS.
It will.
As much as I love CCR and, to a lesser extent, RHCP neither are Southern Rock. They are both California bands without any ties to Southern Rock. Since I’m being pedantic, SRV and ZZ Top are from Texas, which is not part of the South. I think I would call SRV and ZZ Top, blues or blues rock.
Miguel you are probably right about about ZZ Top they would be considered blues/boogie rock rather than southern. So now I am firmly of the belief that it will be Skynyrd.
Royalty… King Crimson?
There’s a really nice guitar on 21st Century Schizoid Man
A nice arpegio on Moonchild
They could chart the mellotron on The court of the crimson King
Elephant Talk’s got some nice effects. And dat chapman stick
Lark’s tongues in ancient aspic Pt.1 also has an awesome guitar
We need more Prog anyways.
Would love this to happen but I think there were several hoops to jump through to get Robert Fripp to re-master 21CSM for GH5
That’s true, but Steven Wilson has done a ton of Crimson remasters now. I bet that they could pull them in if they wanted. I second Lark’s Tongues, Part 1! Have you heard the Dream Theater cover version?
Aww man King Crimson would be totally awesome. sheltering sky, indiscipline, schizoid man, court of the crimson king and elephant talk. that’d be a nice 5 pack.
Are the Red Hot Chili Peppers southern enough? Could it be?
My guess for royalty is B.B King since he just passed and either Skynyrd or ZZ Top for Southern Icon. Although Elvis or Royal Blood would be good too.
I still want Tuesday Gone from Lynyrd Skynyrd
