Rocksmith 2014 DLC 7/1 – Billy Talent

Hello Rocksmith fans, and Happy Canada Day!

Today’s DLC is a 5 Pack from the Canadian Melodic-Punk Quartet, Billy Talent! If you are buying this pack you might as well tune to Drop D right now, as all FIVE songs fall under the same tuning (with no Rhythm arrangement).

The pack is very heavy on the selections from their 2006 album Billy Talent II with songs such as: Devil in a Midnight Mass, Fallen Leaves, and Red Flag (which you may remember from a number of Electronic Arts games). Rounding out the pack is their breakthrough hit of 2003, Try Honesty and Viking Death March off their 2012 album, Dead Silence.

Billy Talent Song Pack – $11.99 / Steam

  1. If the songs are in Drop D as noted, does that mean bass is Drop D as well? Sorry if that is a stupid question.

  2. I’ll stick to my guns with this: Surrender needed to be in this pack. I could’ve done without Fallen Leaves, though it’s the best pick for solo work.

    I’m gonna be nit-picky on this pack and buy Try Honesty and Devil asap, probably will pick up Red Flag and Viking at a later date.

    1. …And changing my mind. I just love this band, and the charts are looking amazing. Getting the pack as a whole.

  3. Shouldn’t the diminished triads called out on the E-B-G strings in Red Flag be called out as minor (AKA they should be BmDim, and G#mDim instead of Bdim and G#dim)?

    1. In theory, diminished and minor are completely different. A diminished in one half-tone lower in both the third and fifth of the chord. A minor is one half-tone lower in the third only.

  4. Been wanting BIlly Talent in my rhythm games since 2006 or so. Incredibly stoked for this one.

  5. Billy Gibbons is a better Billy than Talent and I must say that he might just be the best Billy of ’em all.

      1. I am almost certain that Bragg wasn’t getting nearly as much muff during his golden years as Gibbons was during his.

          1. Goes to the Tube watches “Billy Bragg – Between The Wars”… Brah, r u cereals? Cerealsly cereals? 😆

  6. Band I never heard of + Drop D = a pass for now.

    I do like the band’s attitude towards guitar hero, that’s funny.

    I’ll continue to listen to these songs over the next few weeks and see if it changes my mind.

  7. I wish I was Canadian so I could stay home today and play these. I dont get people comparing this to Green Day its like are you deaf or something their music is nothin like green day

  8. Used to hear Fallen Leaves on Sirius all the time. That song has been in my head since Elliot posted the “speculation” article. I am considering a few of these. Might be fun to play once I see the play videos.

  9. No Surrender, no rhytm and while I find their songs okay, it is not enough, this is a skip for me. Haven`t bought anything since Sum41. Maybe I should go and get Misirlou…

  10. A little disappointed that there’s no “Surrender” in this pack, but all in all a solid collection of songs.

  11. Never heard of “Billy Talent” so i youtube’d the songs Rocksmith is releasing…..i thought it was friggin awful. Worst sounding Billy Joe rip off singer ever and the music just did nothing for me. It was like late 90’s pop punk without the catchy riffs or memorable lyrics. No wonder they never made it in the US.

    Seems like an odd choice for Rocksmith.

    Dang it. Another week of no DLC for me.

      1. -_- I think he means Billie Joe Armstrong, as in from Green Day and NOT Billy Joel, the guy who plays piano and crashes cars through walls.

        It’s always refreshing when someone is making an insult and doesn’t know either material they are referencing.

    1. Hey dummy, it’s Billie Joe as in Billie Joe Armstrong and NOT Billy Joe as in Billy Joel.

      1. I have no idea what your talking about as everyone here knew that Billie Joe meant Billie Joe Armstrong and not Billy Joel, mostly due to you being the only person who has mentioned Billy Joel.

  12. Never heard o’em. But I have Fallen Leaves in my head now, so I suppose it’s a buy. 😀

  13. Excited for this. Definitely going to play the hell out of it after work tomorrow.

    Unfortunate that we didn’t get This Suffering, Surrender, Line & Sinker or River Below, but there is always Billy Talent pack 02 (maybe by like 2017 lol?)

    1. It’s a good call. I bought a bass for the game… Almost doubled the available charts 😉
