Yup, keeping with the Guitar Hero theme, it’s Accept’s Balls To The Wall!
Rounding off the pack is a song you should remember from Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock (it was one of the first announced songs) Tesla’s Modern Day Cowboy, and the awesome classic rock anthem from Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades (and of course Rock Band) All Right Now by Free!

Great stuff, definitely enough guitar work to keep our more advanced players sated.

Are you loving this variety? Or are you scratching your head about who was requesting these songs? Let us know!

Been requesting Tesla for awhile. Wish it was a whole pack. Can't wait to play Modern day Cowboy.
Firstly the if you messed with the pitches the vocals would be affected unless you dealt with the master tapes which they don't have , secondly how about you learn the song then you can play it in any way you want.
Some artists don't want their songs messed with in such a manner
Solution: Grab Howlin' Wolf "Spoonful" so you have another song to play after or before
Assuming it's because you hate tuning and not because you have a floating bridge/tremolo
I don't really understand why some of these tracks can't just have their pitches bent up or down so we don't have to have exotic tunings all the time. It's come to the point when I do non stop play I do all the E Standard songs only on a loop.
Can we get something modern. More green day. Mcr. Some pop punk or emo pack. All American rejects. Maybe even bvb. Something for the modern players.
Ugh. A=446 makes Balls to the Wall an instant no-buy for me.
Love it, especially the TESLA! Frank Hannon is one of my heroes.
There's no way people requested all of these songs as some of the most requested. Frankenstein is by far the best. All Right Now also pretty good. But the others?
The Smiths Johnny marr
Advanced guitar for the practicing musian
I still don’t have Frankenstein and Modern Day Cowboy on PSN. What’s up with that? Ubisoft desperately needs to organize their shop!
Hell yeah! BALLs TO THE WALLS!!!!
To those unsure of how these songs were “above average” on votes:
If you assume “average” is all rock (and, well, non-rock) songs, with a lot of songs only getting 1 or 2 votes, getting “above average” probably isn’t a high bar. Just means being in the top 50%. (I wouldn’t be surprised if all of these were in the top 25%).
#1 – All Right Now and Frankenstein are both classic rock hits, quite easily in the top 100 of (remaining) requested songs (out of thousands).
#2 – Balls to the Wall was in an early Guitar Hero game. So even those who don’t remember it being a fairly brief hit circa 1983 (I do, actually) remember it from that that game. I imagine all of the base songs from Rock Band and Guitar Hero are “above average” in votes.
#3 – Tesla – Modern Day Cowboy was actually a pretty decent hit from the 80s, still frequently played on rock radio today.
I’m with ya footballfan .. But slayer revelant ??? their coming to town next week and can’t sellout a 8 to 10 thousand freaking little venue..so revelant may be a strong word to use
jesus christ can we get back to the 21st century????? there hasn’t been a relevant pack since slayer SMH
Rocksmith, Y U NO CHART SYNTH?!?!
You know, this kind of reminds me of the artists you hear on Classic Rock radio who seem to have had only one or two big hits. For Example:
Fog Hat
Golden Earing
The Outfield (<–hey I requested them too.)
Not old enough to know, so correct me if I'm wrong.
What’s chances of getting “Free Ride” anytime soon. That is a must!
What an awesome pack. Yeah!
If these are the mist request songs by the players of rocksmith,who plays this game???…. They r bands in the game that only have 1 or 2 songs that are way more modern than the 50’s 60’s and some of the worst songs in the 70’s….. Not hating just sayin.:(
Frankenstein and all right now. The other two are a pass for me.
Wanna see some Clutch, who’s with me?
I’m with ya, bro. MFing Clutch!
Clutch would blow my mind, but not gonna hold my breath.
Free is a great choice…. The others??? Smh
Happy with all the songs. Good pack. Some of us don’t get some of the band’s and songs that get requested and released, but there are a lot of people who all have different tastes. It is impossible to keep everyone happy. As for those complaining about “jurassic” rockers, you wouldn’t have the stuff you listen to without these older songs. Many of the ones you are whining about were ground breaking in their time, and greatly expanded the making of music in general. You are whining about a model t while you cruise your prius. You just wouldn’t have the one if the other never happened
Maybe so, but how many Model T’s do you see driving around? Its one thing to appreciate and respect the past, its quite another to remain stuck there…
Agreed.
And that leads to a pack they should offer. “Grandfathers and Sons” do a series of DLC to show artists and their influences.
For example, songs by the following:
Albert King
Jimi Hendrix (something not already in the DLC we have)
Stevie Ray Vaughan
all leading up to John Mayer.
Another one
Howlin’ Wolf
Lightning Hopkins
Jimi Hendrix
James Brown
Eddie Hazel (Parliament/Funkadelic for those who don’t know)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Not “stuck” in the past. Just traveling through history.
Agreed. But the people who drive Model T’s are the people with money to actually buy DLC, not just complain about it, and they have the technical wherewithal to figure out how to use the request tool.
Lol. That makes no sense.
