Song Speculation: Kenny Rogers makes Rocksmith debut in Variety Pack II

Hello Rocksmith fans!

The clue has been posted, and it’s a classic collaboration between @UbiParadise and @DanAmrich.

Let’s take a look.

It took a bit over 30 minutes for RollingStone222 to see what they were hinting at.

You’ve got to know when to hold ’em
Know when to fold ’em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run

Now that’s what I call, Some good advice!

Excellent, another welcome addition to the Country music genre in the ever growing Rocksmith 2014 library.


 

Given that is a four pack and it’s the successor to the previous Variety Pack@UbisoftStudioSF could put in pretty much anything. So, here’s three obtainable songs from different genres I wouldn’t mind seeing show up.

It’s been awhile since we had some funk

How about some super catchy pop rock/power pop?

Or some Garage Rock/Punk?

You’re damn right

PJ-10

Man U guys all have no taste in rock music… Did all you get bullied in school?…hearing these requests .. Yikes.. I’m dealing with a site filled with nerds and virgins.btw.. I don’t know what Pokemon is.. Must have been to busy playing actual rock and getting laid when that was around?

Russell

Eagle-Eye Cherry – Save Tonight
Queen and David Bowie – Under Pressure
Kenny Rogers – The Gambler
SR-71 – Right Now

a huge YES to all 4, Im stoked for this one 😀

Russell

dont be too quick to write off “right now” it is a killer guitar track with a tight little solo.

Mike

Wow…what a pack. Even though I’m not an SR-71 fan, that’s a fairly classic song for that era too.

And “Save Tonight”! What a great unexpected song!

And of course, nothing needs be said about “Under Pressure”

Wisenheimer

Thanks for posting the news. I’ll pick this pack up. “Under pressure” and “save tonight” are the ones I’m excited about.

Jeam95

Under Pressure ❗

Martay

As for the clue “Can’t we give variety one more chance.” Hmmm, I’m going to say Jackson 5 “I Want You Back.” Insta-buy. And “Under Pressure” too?! Great week for bass!

BigLou

“Can’t we give love one more chance” is a lyric from Under Pressure, so I’m sure that’s what they were referencing.

Martay

Ahhh, you’re right. nvm

Mike

Looks like Rocksmith just posted a photo of Bowie and Mercury. I’m guessing “Under Pressure” is a lock for this pack? Hopefully.

Dangermouse

Any one who has,not seen the bottom of this page there is a picture Bowie Mercury if correct insta buy under pressure classic collaboration usually only play guitar gonna have to dust off bass.Im also learning to play acoustic so country music is good also .this weeks pack shaping up nicely hope the last song isn’t low tuning I hardly ever play em

old guy

She may not be Miss Right, she’ll do right now.

MarleySantana

While I have nothing against Kenny Rogers, I’d much rather see Brad Paisley representing country.

Eastwood
Camouflage
Cluster Pluck
Cliffs of Rock City
I’ll Take You Back
What a Friend We Have In Jesus

Xcypher

Probably the best comment

Jarryd

If they put maggot brain in the game, I would happily buy my first song in months. YAAS!!!

MarleySantana

ditto

Jeam95

Roundabout by yes would be a good choice

Thomaz

Neon Trees is such a great band, I hope it shows up as dlc sometime

Francois

Maggot brain! I would not call it typical funk music though, but two months ago I added a request for it. Let’s all do that!

Cheers

MarleySantana

No this is straight up rock. It just happens to have been played by a high influential funk band.

Happy to see other folks requesting this song. Really hope we get this one at some point.

Pieter

Hives; yes please PJ go play pokemon or something

YYZ

First time I’ve been here since a long time ago. I was complaining about the lack of variety. So I come back, and what do I see? Variety pack. Thanks rocksmith.

Bob

I would love to get Maggot Brain too. I know it’s just a random guess at this point, but we can hope!

Wisenheimer

I’m not a fan of country (especially the older stuff) but I love the idea of the variety packs so one country song won’t stop me from buying it if the other three are okay. Please lay some funk on us Rocksmith!

MarleySantana

About damn time somebody recognizes. MAGGOT BRAIN!!!! Yes.

I’ve written to Guitar One (way back when) Guitar World, Total Guitar for Tab in the magazines and of course requested this as DLC for Rocksmith. Would be nice to finally see someone recognize how good the song is.

Put your headphones on, sit in a dark room with no distractions and just listen to this track. As you get to 7:25 in, its like Eddie Hazel’s guitar is crying.

If they get Maggot Brain as DLC, the only other music that could top it for me would be Zeppelin, VH, In a Silent Way be Santana or SRV. And we all know those aren’t happening.

Just Dave

Cool. I like a versatile pack. I also like surprises. I would love to offer some dlc suggestions but I don’t want Facebook.

Synthecide

you can login to Ubisoft through the facebook portal WITHOUT actually signing into facebook. It doesn’t work on mobile though.

Synthecide

Just Dropped In would be better but I’m not complaining!

Frank Giannantonio

Excited for this one. Can’t wait to see what else is in the pack.

Russell

alright! didn’t see this one coming. I still remember all the lyrics from the gambler and the coward of the county from early childhood. Im expecting cowboy chords, campy strumming patterns, with some fun little licks mixed in. Should be fun to play.

Therevengewedge

I sense something along the lines of…
Kenny Rodgers – The Gambler
Whitesnake – Here I Go Again
Rival Sons – Pressure and Time
Marilyn Manson – The Beautiful People
I hope I’m close to right, or that we get these In the future, 5-pack or not

mohinder

Whitesnake — Here I Go Again would be great!

Archeron

That would be a “shut up and take my money” pack for me!

PJ-10

Is this for real? Wtf happened to rocksmith?

Jim

What do you mean “wtf happened to rocksmith?” They’re releasing weekly DLC just like they have been for years.

Wisenheimer

Our friend PJ-10 doesn’t know when to hold’em or when to fold’em. Lol
