Greetings Rocksmith fans!
@DanAmrich’s hint has been solved and we definitely know what’s coming next week to Rocksmith 2014!
Let’s take a look at how it went down this week.
As usual with gifs, there’s something that comes to those that decrypt it with the right password.
Again another password was required, but clearly those numbers meant something.
Putting that together helped people figure it out.
We weren’t quite done yet, though.
THERE WE GO!
That’s right, this week’s DLC comes to us courtesy of the rockabilly tinged punk legends Social Distortion! Thanks to some trickery on the PlayStation Online Store (the same trickery that we saw a couple weeks ago during the Regal Singles week) we know that four of the band’s hits are included this week, spanning 14 years of albums. First off, from 1990’s Social Distortion we have (arguably) their most popular song Story of My Life (that certainly counts as something autobiographical!), as well as one of the Social D songs I’ve wanted in a music game forever in Ball and Chain! Next, we move to 1992 and the album Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell where we find another fan favourite in Bad Luck. Finally, we end in 2004 with the song Reach for the Sky from the album Sex, Love and Rock n’ Roll.
I know I myself am really excited for this pack. Social Distortion are one of my favourite bands, and I had the pleasure of seeing them front row a couple years ago when they played Yonge Dundas Square for NXNE. They put on an absolutely incredible show, and the guitar work in their songs is absolutely awesome!

So, does this DLC make you feel like When the Angels Sing, or are you in Another State of Mind about it? Let us know in the comments!
So what’s next weeks Pac gonna be ?
Wow. I had no interest in this pack at all when I read about it but after watching the bass videos above, I’m off to the shop to buy the pack. They look a bit repetitive but fun nonetheless!
It’ll be the same steamy pile of crap every week from here until people get wise and stop caring.
I see a generally favourable response for this dlc, better luck next week
Why no mommys little monster and i was wrong:(
This pack is sick!! Killrttracks; great on acooustic; can give it country bounce and those bassgroove!!! And ivdidnotvplay story of my life yet
So what’s next weeks (8- 18 ) releases ? can we start guessing ?
Feel free!

Will we ever see another folk rock pack? Even if it’s more Dylan (which I wouldn’t be complaining about…)
Have you requested it?
This band is a little too pop rock for my tastes. If they were going to do a punk pack, I would rather have had Rancid, Bad Religion, Propagandhi, or about a dozen others. Not for me. Pass.
+1
I love bad religion, but rancid is something that makes my ears bleed. Imo social Distortion is decent feel good punk that i can definitely get into.
But yes bring on bad religion and pennywise!
I like Rancid (Let’s Go, aOCTW) but their later stuff is extremely poppy to me. I think a Social Distortion pack is a step in the right direction if we are hoping to eventually get something a bit more raw.
bad religion has to be added i mean it was on bandfuse so that is almost a given. I would like to see a variety pack of Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Dicks, Minor Threat and anything else that makes moms start groups to protect children from obscentity
Don’t impersonate users
?
Someone was impersonating PJ-10, stuff like that won’t fly here.
wait i thought this was the internet and none of us really exist
please sit down
Lol
and we will encourage you to continue!
Or we will say stop.
And then seriously, you must stop,
Or penalties will be created and enforced.
Cause listen…
This is the problem…
?Sometimes you follow your heart,
sometimes your heart cuts a fart. ?
None of us do exist, just ask TIME 🙂
I’m in. I had only heard story of my life and ball and chain prior to this post but I like all of these after listening to them. Sounds like some decent bass lines too
woulda loved Machinegun Blues, my favorite song of theirs
I wonder what the chances are for a Black Flag pack?
Disappointed no “I was Wrong”. Oh well. There’s always next week.
Social D! Very nice, would have liked When She Begins but I’m certainly not complaining, just wishing for 1 more:)
How about some Testament? Return to Serenity would be epic, even if u don’t like metal you would like that song, and that solo just builds u up, breaks u down n builds u up again! So good it puts tears in my eyes if it catches me in the right mood
Children of Bodom would be sick, I’d love to try out Tie My Rope, that solo just floors me every time! Alexi Laiho is the absolute man! CoB is pretty far from power metal I think, synth aside of course
make sure you hit the song request app and actually ask for some of the stuff you want!!. I would insta-buy COB and have put requests in for at least 20+ songs.
Might see them one day =)
Almost all the blue album wouldmake me soohappy the only pack that could rivalise with it is some buckethead and RandyRhoads
My 3 fav guitarist but they ré too good for rocksmith so i ll keep learning all by myself ,cause that day will never come
Not my cup of tea but there’s always next week.
