Hello Rocksmith fans!
Welcome to the EIGHTEENTH Variety Pack!
As revealed over the weekend @OutlawsMusic’s epic 9:00 Southern Rock odyssey Green Grass & High Tides will be coming to the Rocksmith Library, thanks to #AlexTheIntern!
This was the problematic track that Alex the intern helped us resolve.

We can reveal today (via Xbox AU) that three of @Rocksmithgame’s previous DLC artists will return in this Variety Pack! First up is @TheBeachBoys, this is the only music game that has more than one track in it’s library, and this week that single will be their title track off Surfin’ Safari (1962). Next up, the boys from New York are back with their 1992 single off Check Your Head, it’s Gratitude (maybe you remember it from Guitar Hero 5?). Finally the track many of you were hoping for to be added to @blink182’s second song pack, it’s Stay Together For The Kids (Take Off Your Pants and Jacket – 2001).
The Outlaws and Bands that start with B!
Variety Pack XVIII – $9.99 / Steam
- The Beach Boys “Surfin’ Safari”| Lead/Rhythm/Bass [E Standard] – [XBL] / Steam
- Beastie Boys “Gratitude”| Lead/Alt. Lead/Rhythm/Bass [E Standard] – [XBL] / Steam
- blink-182 “Stay Together For The Kids”| Lead/Rhythm/Bass [E Standard] – [XBL] / Steam

Wonder how they are going to split the guitar between Lead/Rhythm on Green Grass and High Tides…
Some additional info, one of this week’s songs, “Gratitude” by the Beastie Boys, has Alt. Lead arrangement. The Alt Lead arrangement is a combination of the Bass part, the Rhythmic Lead guitar part in the middle interlude, and the organ part toward he end. It’s basically a “best of” of the most memorable parts of the song spanning across three different instruments
