Hey, Rocksmith 2014 fans, next week’s DLC looks to be a real scorcher and we aren’t f-f-f-foolin!
Yesterday we received three hints from Christopher Woo (@SquirellyNinja), Paul Cross (@CrossieRS), and a new community developer that will be familiar to our longtime fans from @TheHeroFeed, @DanAmrich!
After a couple of weeks of (relatively) newer stuff, next week’s going to be older

@DallasDave22 I’m on holiday in Las Vegas. The legendary artist for next week performed in Vegas and shockingly didn’t fill the house?!

On Sunday night, however, more than 6,700 fans filed into the Mandalay Bay Events Center to proclaim their enduring love for Def Leppard, the hard rocking Brits who dominated the FM airwaves during the 1980s.
And while Leppard probably never played to a house with more than 1,000 empty seats during its stadium touring heyday, the band gave its defiant supporters exactly what they came for: big, raucous sounds and bright, flashing lights, as if it were 1987 all over again.
“You didn’t hear it from me.” – Dan Amrich (Forum Link)
Well Def Leppard is definitely older than AFI, A Day To Remember, and Matchbox Twenty!
Can you believe we thought the hint was pointing at Bob Dylan again though? (Should have gone with this)
In any event Def Leppard is a welcome addition to the Rocksmith catalog and have had their fair share of exposure through both Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
Edit: Whoops
Tomorrow we’re adding 3 songs by an American legend. How does that feel? pic.twitter.com/pDQAubS9ET

Note, this is the first Bob Dylan DLC EVER
Ha! Fantastic! (Looks like I’ve been in the RS minority for a few weeks running) I’ll take substance over vapid pop infused bubble gum hard rock any day.
Fun Fact: I got to see Dylan play on 4/20 (heh) in Kearney, NE (U.S.) a number of years ago. The old timer played for 3+ hours, featured Charlie Sexton on lead guitar, and undoubtedly filled the house. One of the most memorable shows I’ve ever attended.
We don’t have long to find out now but I could totally go for
Hurricane
Don’t Think Twice
Fixin’ To Die
Subterranean Homesick Blues
Tangled Up in Blue
Yeah I know it’s only a 3 pack but hey I can dream!
Dylan? Sigh. Was looking forward to some Def Leppard. Dylan just a snorefest.
Guess I am one of the few “psyched” people about this, as long as one of the electric mid 60’s tracks makes it! Outlaw blues would be awesome or some mike Bloomfield stuff! Love his sound!
Glad for you then. Much respect to BD for songwriting skills, but really don’t care to play any of his tunes as performed by him. So disappointed it wasn’t DL; was psyched.
Dylan is a great artist, but like most people on this site I would have preferred Def Leppard. I can’t buy DLC because I have yet to buy RS2, but oh well.
I have heard that several “bad” weeks can lead into one really “good” week. Perhaps next week will be Metallica or something.
Man, that is like giving me the equivalent of DLC blue balls! I was beyond psyched to get some Def Leppard DLC, especially after all of this bubble gum metal that has been coming out.
I love Dylan’s song writing but I HATE his singing. Give Me Hendrix or GnR any day over the real thing. The man is a genius songwriter and a horrible performer.
So disappointing… 😥
Contemplating breaking my RS disc and putting my BF disc back in the 360…
The Boston dlc has given me enough hope to expect a good dlc soon, but who knows, most good bands are extremely hard to songs from ( Journey, Def Leppard, ACDC, etc.)
Good, can you do that and post a picture so we can laugh at the fucking butthurt idiot that broke a good game to play a dead game with 20 DLC songs because waaaah I don’t like the optional content a blu blu blu blu qq moron
Damn I wish I had taken a picture for you…but then again maybe I was being a little sarcastic. Keep trolling the comments. I’m going to play some guitar.
On the plus side, I’ve saved $20 so far this month!
i was hoping for adam sandler chanukah song but this will do even better
I wanna go to this Rock ‘n Roll nursing home I’m hearing about!
what a joke i didn’t know nursing homes had rocksmith for seniors wtf is this crap damn i’d take emo anyday instead of this dead old hippy drug bull
i hope all you over 40s have fun
bob dylan must be out of crack money hope rocksmith pays well
That’s a little harsh don’t you think? Come back once you’ve learned Don’t Think Twice (It’s Allright), which by the way is a great song. I would recommend Dylan for Rocksmith though.
would not* Acoustic stuff and heavy chording either arpeggioed like House of the rising sun or strummed doesn’t work too well.
“shockingly didn’t fill the house?!”
um… yea, no wonder we were confused… there is absolutely NOTHING shocking about Dylan leaving some seats empty.
Good job, toy. Good job.
Im not nearly as excited for this as I was Def Leppard, however my acoustic repetoire is very lacking for open mic night, so I welcome this as well.
