Hello Rocksmith fans!
The clue has been posted by @UbiParadise and has been solved, and it looks like we are in store for a real challenge next week. Possibly the most polar opposite of a Misfits DLC that we can think of.

Fall
Sleeping man
Key turning in door
There is no place like home
Nope, not crazy!
Oh boy!
Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She’s taken you to your homeGlad everyone could figure out these Images & Words. Everything does indeed point back to Dream Theater. The background in the initial clue? That’s the CD cover for I&W blurred out to an extreme degree. The answers to the original image? All words featured in “Metropolis Part I: “The Miracle and the Sleeper.“”
Metropolis will be one of three songs featured in the upcoming Dream Theater song pack. Stay tuned to the Rocksmith social channels this weekend for another song reveal.
To temper expectations a bit, the entire pack is under 30 minutes in total length. Yes, that’s still a lot of music in a three pack. I want to make sure people set their expectations accordingly. Something like “Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence” as one of the songs (42 minutes in one track) would be slightly insane.
As a HUGE fan of Dream Theater, I can’t explain how personally excited I am for this one. Spending hours in Riff Repeater will never have been so fun. \m/
Surprisingly this is actually the first Dream Theater Song Pack across all music games (Jammit doesn’t count), they’ve either been a song included on an on-disc setlist such as Pull Me Under, which was featured in Guitar Hero World Tour as a cover in Rock Revolution, and in 2013’s BandFuse, Panic Attack in Rock Band 2, and finally Metropolis Part I: “The Miracle and the Sleeper” in Rock Band 4. Outside of on disc inclusions they have always been a single in a pack when it came to DLC, with songs such as Constant Motion, and On The Back of Angels.
So what other songs could be in store for us next week?
The following is speculation
I think it’s safe bet to expect this one
This would be a fun one
More instrumentals please
Are you excited for Dream Theater to be added to the Rocksmith library? What other two songs are you hoping to see join Metropolis? Or does this scare your fingers? Let us know!
@GreenDayCusack yes. just a matter of time…

i know i know
not my cup of tea. I would rather have some more a7x but I know dream theater has a ton of hardcore fans so I’m glad they get a pack.
On the back of angels Confirm!!
So per FB, “On the Backs of Angels” is confirmed as the second song.
“Three songs. 26+ minutes of music. The Dream Theater song pack featuring “On The Backs of Angels” arrives Tuesday!”
Per the wikipedia pages, OtBoA clocks in at 8:42. Metropolis Pt. 1 clocks in at 9:30. If my math adds up right, that’s 18:12 worth of music there, leaving us roughly 8 mins or so of music for the 3rd song. Which is roughly the exact running time of “Pull Me Under” (which is 8:11). So yeah…fairly safe to say that it’s going to officially be:
“Metropolis Pt. 1”
“Pull Me Under”
“On the Backs of Angels”
A solid 3 pack if I do say so. I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about the post-Portnoy era material, but OtBoA is a solid song. It’ll be interesting to see how it’s arranged for 6 strings (I was under the impression Petrucci used 7 strings exclusively on that album, but I could be wrong. Even if you’re not a fan though, the first two songs are legendary, and you will enjoy throwing your guitar/bass across the room as you come to the sad realization that you are not John Myung or John Petrucci.
Now, if Rocksmith would be so kind as to include a keyboard instrument to track Kevin Moore’s (Metropolois/PMU) and Jordan’s (OtBoA) parts…
i have this poster, great track! thanks ubi!
Metropolis Part 1, dat tapping bass solo of death
Pull Me Under, this one is a must
I do not believe about Panic Attack. This is a down tuned 5 strings bass, and Constant Motion is also for 5 strings bass.
So surprise for the 3rd song. 😀
I want finally free sooooooooooooo bad, but im 99 percent they will pick other things
just three pack? we want more songs.
Make sure you buy the three pack
Oh good, you immediately found the downside.
lol
Thank God.
The Riff Repeater Wow,i need to put 32 gb of ram to play on that speed. 😎
need a processor upgrade
The Riff Repeater Hehe.
I’m guessing Pull Me Under and As I Am but I know DT fans would rather see longer, more complex songs, idc I’m happy with Dream Theater
I’m hoping fpr Pull Me Under and a track from the astonishing (dystopian overture, a new begining or our new world)
