Greetings Rocksmith fans!
The decades packs continue with the groovy 60s pack coming to us today. Featuring three classic psychedelic rock tracks, including two debuting artists, you aren’t going to want to miss this one!
First up, we have the return of The Doors with their 1967 classic Love Me Two Times from the album Strange Days. Long time rhythm game fans may remember this one from Guitar Hero World Tour, as well as being launch DLC for Rock Band 3, but this is the first time we can play it on real guitar!
Next, we have a legendary band that’s appeared a little bit in rhythm games in their various incarnations, but have never made their way over to Rocksmith. Truly one of the all time greats of the San Francisco scene, from Jefferson Airplane‘s 1967 album Surrealistic Pillow we have White Rabbit!
Finally, we have somewhat of a more obscure act that’s never appeared in any game before. The first Dutch act since Focus all those months ago, Shocking Blue are the originators of both Nirvana’s debut single Love Buzz, and Bananarama’s infectious 80s hit Venus. Now, for the first time ever their music appears in a game as Venus, one of the biggest songs off of 1969’s At Home, comes to Rocksmith 2014!
Even better for those of us who hate detuning, all three tracks here are in E Standard (although the Doors song is tuned slightly sharp)!
- The Doors “Love Me Two Times” – E Standard: A446 – [XBL] / Steam
- Jefferson Airplane “White Rabbit” – [XBL] / Steam
- Shocking Blue “Venus” – [XBL] / Steam

So tell us, is this pack so good you want to Buy It Two Times, or has your interest in this fallen sloppy dead? Let us know in the comments!
Really wanna get Love Me Two Times, as it is my favorite tune from The Doors, though the tuning is a bit of a turn off. The rest dont interest me too much.
Unfortunately Ubisoft can only pitch-shift songs to A440 if they get permission to do so. Still, it appears to have been just over ten months since a DLC release had a true tuning (the last time was, I believe, “People Are Strange” by The Doors, which came out for the game on 15th September 2015) so that was a pretty big run of A440-pitched releases.
I picked up Shocking Blue’s Venus. Pretty fun on bass 😀
I’m with noname rocker MOTT THE HOOPLE would be great! Also the stooges and how about some Crosby stills and Nash “wooden ships” great guitar stuff!!! Well done on this pack though rs
I’ve requested “wooden ships” by CSN. Great tune that has some sweet bass in there too.
Great pack! Good job RS
what, What, WHAT !!?
this ain’t the Moody Blues
😉
I like it… off my lawn ya little whipper snappers…!!!
Now that we’re here… more Rolling Stones please… 😉
Love this surprise! Shocking blue
Insta-buy! Old classics, and they look like songs I can actually master.
In for the pack. I was least excited for the Doors from the announcement, but after looking at the charts that’s the song I’m most excited about. I was excited for White Rabbit, but it looks pretty boring. Never thought we’d get Shocking Blue and I am stoked for that.
This looks like a pack made for beginner guitarists like me! 😀
I would accept to see this ^^
I like all the songs. Couldn’t play them for jack but I like the thought of being able to one day.
Btw what is the guitar you are playing. It looks like my les-paul ripoff but nicer.
I know, wow. Ubisoft won’t go out of business now at least.
Now can get a 70s pack…
T. Rex – Bang A Gong
The Stooges – Search And Destroy
Mott The Hoople – All The Young Dudes
The Doobie Brothers – Black Water
Santana – Evil Ways
Please?
Glad someone else wants a 70’s pack too. Those are all great picks. We have to be due for one, we have had 60’s, 80’s, 90’s and 00’s.
Pass this pack but I’d take All the Young Dudes in a heartbeat. Bowie wrote that you know, would be appropriate.
Nice another Ducht act! Next time Golden Earring? 😀
Pack looks pretty good, though its not at the top of my list. I would pick up Venus before anything else though.
Same
Looks fun, Im in
I definitely want White Rabbit. Probably will skip the other 2.
Omg Jefferson airplane and the doors… Sweet… Can do without the 3rd song,but I guess u gotta get 1 song that’s a turd.
I’m still trying to flush “the gambler”. Hey everybody look, PJ-10 likes two out of three! *\o/*
excelent!!… good rock songs.. i’m excited 😛 😛
Decent
Ok. Wow. A three pack.
Y U NO ORGAN SOLO?
I’m assuming it’s in another chart..
Nope, sorry
What a trippy pack, man I miss those days when people used to write actual songs with guitars and stuff
Venus!!!!!!! Yes! Awesome pack despite the A446 tuning on the doors tune. I used to like the doors until I started playing bass and figured out that they didnt use a bass guitar in the mix when playing live. Boo!
I have to be honest, I’m a little burned out on Doors songs. I would have preferred another band that hasn’t been on RS2014 already. But hey, I’ll still buy the pack!
