Hey Rocksmith fans!
Get out your black beanies (toques if you are Canadian) – DLC for 2017 is kicking off with a 5 pack from the Irish – love them or hate them – band U2!
RollingStone222 gave us the clue again this week that TRR had the honour of posting (Let @DanAmrch have a vacation plz).
The first song confirmed is…
Wooohooo Wooohoooo. Ok, while most of this song should be really fun – when you see The Edge explaining what actually is going on for that intro riff, you start to think that the tone switches could end up causing some falling amp syndrome, just like a certain Rage Against The Machine song does.
So we know Vertigo is part of the pack, but seeing as the band has been together for more than 40 years, there are quite a few hits that could be filling out this pack.
What follows is speculation
Well, given the timing of the clue and the packs release – I’m personally really hoping this 1983 track off of WAR is part of this pack. Bass players should be happy if this one makes the pack and I’m really curious to see how they chose to chart it, since the guitar parts have multiple layers going on.
This song is not a rebel song – this song is a must for any U2 pack!
One of the big singles from Joshua Tree – I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For – might be a fun change of pace and make for a more well rounded pack.
Let’s face it, Rattle and Hum could and should be the first full album pack Rocksmith gets. But in case that can’t happen – I’m hoping we can at-least get this collaboration between U2 and the late, great B.B. King.
Another one that bass players will love – and if Poedy tracked the Saxophone parts – could make for an amusing alt-lead chart.
Can U2 be our backdoor way into a Beatles track in Rocksmith? Tell me, Tell me, Tell me the answer!
We are talking about U2 here folks, 13 studio albums from the last 36 years – there are a ton of likely contenders for this pack – what tracks are you hoping (or expecting) to see included in it?
Or should we just expect this DLC to automatically show up in our library?
Stay in the loop

Yeah, I bought this pack.
No U2 pack for XBOX 360 ?
Not yet, still waiting for Microsoft to upload it
The Riff Repeater : is it true this pack will be out on Wednesday for PSN? I haven’t found anything online about saying so, but the pack still isn’t up! You have the scoop?
PSN US? Usually they update a bit later
yeah, US. I get the new DLC almost every week and it is usually online by 11AM EST. U2 still isn’t up though…
India Archive-music alright seems like everyone is slow on the uptake today
thanks for replying. I have patience and the desire to improve my playing, so no big deal
Well guys, I expect to see a lot of U2… this one just leaked into google’s cache

Ok, https://theriffrepeater.com/rocksmith-remastered-dlc-132017-u2-the-edge-bono-sunday-bloody-sunday-joshua-tree-beautiful-day-guitar/
EWWWWWWWWW
When is the pack released in the UK?
It’s not out anywhere yet, if you are on Sony the answer is Wednesday though
According to the comments on the Rocksmith Facebook post, the UK PSN store is showing the tracklisting as:
Vertigo
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Where the Streets Have No Name
With or Without You
Beautiful Day
Only the best at Sony UK
Definite purchase & practice, regardless of which tunes come with. New Years Day & Sunday Blood Sunday are two that I would like to learn. The latest tweet from Rocksmith has a photo of the
All That You Can’t Leave Behind album cover- perhaps a clue!
I liked U2 when they were a New Wave band. Let’s hope we get something off “Boy”.
Comon guys! We all know it’s the following: 1) Sunday Bloody Sunday, 2) One, 3) New Years Day, 4) Where the Streets Have No Name, 5) With or without you
Probably a double pack with all that echo
These songs in this order please…
1. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
2. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
3. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Preez fanx!
I know the Weird Al version… not sure I ever heard the original.
This is awesome news! Beautiful Day, Where the streets have no name, One, I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
What great news to start the year!!, i must admite that my favourite álbum is ATYCLB 😉 so I would like to see
1. Wild Honey
2. Walk On
3. Beautiful Day
4. In a little While
I’d love any of these: Beautiful Day, Walk On, The Fly, Zooropa, One Tree Hill, A Sort of Homecoming, Bad, Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Out Of Control, Cedarwood Road, Breathe, Last Night on Earth, Two Hears Beat As One.
I hope it’s a 6 pack.I haven’t bought anything since SRV
Awesome!!!!!!
Wow, unexpected, and much welcome! As mentionned by Dank Vader I guess New Year’s Day is mandatory in this new year’s pack, so my guess for the 3 others would be these 3 :
Sunday (bloody sunday)
One
With or Without You… or Pride (in the name of Love)
All well known hits of their. Great way to start the year! o/
In that second video The Edge is talking about the intro to ‘Elevation’ not ‘Vertigo
How can you tell? They sound the same!
They both use an E chord but Elevation alternates between E and A and Vertigo slides from D to E. They also have different rythems aswell.
Total surprise to see this dlc. I just forgot that u2 was even an option. Now let’s get some older material not like that Green Day pack
Yeah, I forgot that they were even an option also and never put in any requests because of it……guess I better start putting in Zeppelin requests! Lol
Hope its their old stuff, zooropa, the fly etc
Not for me I’m afraid,will have to wait and see what the following week brings.
This is a great way to kick off the new year!
