Hello Rocksmith fans! Seems like we have a bit of a puzzle to solve regarding next week’s DLC.
If you read the Rocksmith 2014 AMA Recap you probably would have noticed a few choice points regarding this weeks DLC. For the purpose of this article we will assume that Paul Cross is the one behind the answers to these specific questions.
What’s the biggest “YES WE GOT IT!” song you managed to get on-disc for 2014? | Well, check back to see what we release for DLC next week ; ) (DLC of 19th Nov) |
Any plans on making 5-strings bass fully usable in-game? | We talked about this a lot. The problem is once we devide this up a smaller percentage of material can be played by all users. One thing we’re doing in this vein is “capoed” material – in the future there will be capo-specific DLC! |
Wonderwall is played with a capo and would be a lock for Oasis DLC 😉
You may recall during the 2014 Q&A Stream, it was noted that Paul thought one of the biggest grabs of the setlist was Don’t Look Back in Anger, by Oasis (he really loves them). In the past Paul also tweeted that he would make it his life’s mission to get I Bet You Look Good on The Dance Floor by The Arctic Monkeys in Rocksmith.
I think I'm going to make it my life mission to get I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor for Rocksmith so I can learn to play it.

This had me convinced that The Arctic Monkeys were a lock for next week until…
@030_Felix somehow associated to Mark Webber… That's my f1 related hint! Might elaborate later in the weekend.

Looking at Mark Webber’s wikipedia we found:
His favourite musical acts are Pink, Oasis, INXS, Dizzee Rascal, U2 and Feeder.[120][121]
Dallasdave22 on the Rocksmith forums also pointed out that Mark Webber is leaving F1 (and not really by his choice). Don’t look back in anger, indeed!
Another interesting fact from waxparrot is Mark Webber actually OWNS an Oasis!
That pretty much solidifies next week’s DLC for me, but we could be wrong. What do you think? Is it Oasis? What 5 songs would you pick for the perfect pack? Let us know in the comments below.
@TheRiffRepeater @toymachinesh good research. But no :p that's not what you'll be getting next week!

@BOsbun @TheRiffRepeater the connection to Oasis would be something pretty.

@Macbeth1975 @TheRiffRepeater nope. A touch more modern. Still something you'd be silly to miss tho!

@Macbeth1975 @TheRiffRepeater don't let the lack of AC/DC bring you down.

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it’s lack of sex
That’s bringing me down
That was fun!
Update: it’s a 3 Pack?
Tomorrow’s new 3-song DLC pack is going to be huge. Are you ready? pic.twitter.com/Bo7K5mOggO
