Greetings Rocksmith fans!
It’s the time of year when things get spooky! The leaves turn from green to various shades of orange, and Elliott and I celebrate Thanksgiving! That’s right, it’s October, and it’s the time of month when Rocksmith sends out a newsletter with some hints about what we’ll be seeing as DLC over the next few weeks!
Very interesting! Let’s dig a bit deeper into what those might mean for us:
“A potent potable”
This one is easy. Sloe gin is definitely a potent potable.
“Something magical”
Rocksmith loves putting out mixed single packs all centring around a theme in the titles. That’s why my guess is for a “Magical Singles Song Pack”, but what might we see in this hypothetical song pack? Well, I have a few picks on my wishlist that would definitely fit this theme!
Because the fact that we haven’t gotten a proper Heart pack for Rocksmith is a travesty, but I’ll take anything we can get!
The Lovin’ Spoonful are one of my favourite bands to come out of the 60s, and one of those acts I’m constantly hoping to see emerge in a rhythm game one of these days. What better place to start than with one of their most recognizable hits, and one of the best pop-rock songs of the 60s. Period.
Once you get past the novelty of it being a yodelling rock song, you have some SERIOUSLY complex instrumentals! With an all out attack of fast paced guitar work that rarely ever lets up, this legendary Dutch prog rock song has the potential to give tracks like For the Love of God or Cliffs of Dover a run for their money!
“More of the best”
“The best” is a very vague term, but when you qualify it with “more” we know that we’re getting a returning artist. And given the fact that they’re the best, it’s likely to be a single artist pack. Here’s a few artists that I think it could be:
YOU WANTED THE BEST? YOU GOT THE BEST!

Perhaps this is interpreting the hint a bit literally, but Foo Fighters have always played very nicely with rhythm games, and they’re a super popular band. IS SOMEONE GETTING THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, OF YOU?
Often considered to be the best guitarist of all time, we received a very large pack of Hendrix last December to celebrate the launch of Rocksmith on next-gen platforms. Even with a pack that large, however, there were notable hits that were missing. At least enough to fill up another 5 pack. Plus, I doubt there would be many who would complain about more music from this Guitar God!
Hocus pocus Confirmed!
Bring on Puff, the magic dragon??????????
Dang it! ? I can’t turn off auto-emoji ?
It always seems funny until I read it…..but seriously, Puff the magic Dragon please.
Is there new DLC coming on the 20th? No clues, no advance word, nothing. It’s a little too quiet…
Dan put a clue out, but this one is a bit more vague than the KISS clue: https://forums.ubi.com:443/ He also noted later on that the chart comes from a pop-punk song.
Since then, much of the attempted puzzle-solving discussion devolved to petty arguments between a few different users, so very little progress is being made as far as I can tell.
FB hint is up
Looks like DLC is hitting an all time low.
this one is going to be a big hit with all the one direction fans that play this game. Back to the Future movie predicted that RS will have Metallica end of 2015
I’m hoping for new dlc for Halloween like children of bodom or cannibal corpse that would be awesome and I’m also hoping arch enemy will make its debut because they are c standard tuning and some of their songs have different tunings anyway thats my prediction
Something magical… Panic at the disco maybe? They are pop punk and have Drop D songs.
Come on Magic Man.
Maybe we can get the latest South Park song “Boogers And Cum” to go along with the earlier Primus release!
Candlebox,Counting crows and Gin blossoms for this Tuesday I’m looking forward to seeing whatever the Dlc package is for this Tuesday?
Where did you get that info?
Don’t mind Charlie, he requests songs in a weird way
Wouldn’t be amazing if for the last week of October they managed to get the licensing for nightmare revisited?
Some Misfits would be great for Halloween
I want 19 Witches by Monster Magnet for October DLC. Sounds fun to play I always thought. The name of the song and band fit Halloween but the sound is more like surfing in outer space.
since R.S. really screwed the pooch on the release of the Aerosmith & KISS packs it would be nice to see R.S. up there game and release some MOAR better rocking hits from both these groups
Candleboxes remake cd sounds even better than the original I think. Hot funk, cool punk, even if it’s old junk…it is still rock ‘n roll to me-e
How about some candlebox ??
1- cover me
2- far behind
3- you
Definitely need some more hard hitting 90’s Rock !!!… Enough with all the fluff!!
I forget, what is this game called again?
MusicialOpinionsmith
Rofl
Oh yeah, Lucretia…witch…magic…more megadeth. I want that too.
Five magics would be awesome.
