Song Speculation: Dream Theater makes their Rocksmith debut

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.

 

Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers
Infinity
Bridget Helm
Unbreakable Kimmy “It’s a miracle”
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 home

Glad 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

Only a 3 pack? Who am I kidding I should be glad they’re even gonna be in this game!

Schwantz Duker

not my thang…
happy for those that it is

Jeam95

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that we could see in the pack:

-Metropolis part 1: The miracle and the sleeper.
-On the back angels
-Pull me under.

Other possibilities:

-Panic attack: This is Bb but we have Staind pack =D
-Constant motion.

Thomaz

Too bad this is just a 3 pack, it’ll probably be Metropolis, Pull me under and panic attack. I wish on the backs of angels could make it…

Michael Giordano

Looks like you got your wish for “On the Backs of Angels”

Alex Macrorie

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! I really want panic attack and constant motion

Michael Giordano

So happy that Metropolis Pt. 1 is guaranteed. It was the song that got me into prog rock.

Pull Me Under has to be included. I mean, they named their best of album “Greatest Hit (and a bunch of other really cool songs) because of it.

As for the 3rd…Unless the Ubi guys are going to majorly rework songs to get 7 string guitars and 6 string basses arranged, anything beyond the “Falling into Infinity” album will be difficult. I’m pretty sure Petrucci has stuck with a 7 string on every song/album beyond that for sure.

If I had to guess, (and assuming that they will actually spread the songs across more than one album), here’s my choices for the 3rd song…

“Lie” (other than Pull Me Under, it’s the only other song they had that was close to a radio hit…a nice crunchy rocker)

“The Spirit Carries On” (A nice ballad, one of their easier songs, and I’m pretty sure it’s in range of 4 string bass/6 string guitar)

“The Dance of Eternity” (An amazing instrumental, although it certainly uses 6 string basses. But still, such an incredible song).

“Learning to Live”

I’d be equally happy with “YTSE Jam”, or anything from the “Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence” album or earlier.

With that having been said, I won’t be able to play any of these. Good luck on the youtube videos for these ones Elliot. At least you had Rush to warm you up for these.

Just keeps gettin better and better leading up to RS2014 Remastered!

Gary Drew

This pack has to have Pull Me Under. It would just be wrong not to include that song. It would be like an Ozzy pack without Crazy Train or a Slipknot pack without Duality. I will still buy it no matter what. But I would feel like I’m getting ripped off.

Joseph McMirra

slipknot pack without duality would stink, but i do not consider it the “definite” song they have to have, id say a slipknot pack without wait and bleed would be the ” crazy train” equivalent.

WonderWaage

Is there guitar in Slipknot, isn’t it just drums and yelling?

Riff Repeater

lol

BlueCollarNINJA

funny…they actually busted out some solo’s on the gray chapter.

Joseph McMirra

same on their 3rd album

BlueCollarNINJA

I count their 3rd and 4th albums as stone sour.

BlueCollarNINJA

if there were a slipknot pack, I hope duality isn’t in it. I love slipknot but not in a guitar game.

KJ

This is absolutely awesome!!! I’ve been waiting for Dream Theater. They are killing it this month with DLC.
