Greetings Rocksmith fans!
Well, looks like this Tuesday we’ll be getting tracks from a band with members of Creed that managed to be much, much better than Creed. That’s right, it’s an Alter Bridge 4-pack!
Earlier in the week, Mr. Dan Amrich left us one of the most cryptic hints yet:
Amidst guesses of Sublime, The Black Keys, Dethklok, Franz Ferdinand, Spinal Tap, and countless other bands that could have all fit the clue, as well as lines of confusing code and generally cryptic hints, Ox1a4toke found an image embedded within that black square.
Over on our side, we had our guess…

…but that was ultimately proven wrong. Finally, bubka122 guessed Alter Bridge, and the game was complete at last. We found out that we’d be receiving an Alter Bridge 4-pack.

More often than not, when a band has a recent album out, they like to promote that recent album. What better way to do so than with some music game DLC! Here we have the first single from the 2013 album Fortress, and boy is it a great one. With a ripping guitar part, it’s a perfect fit for Rocksmith!
Blackbird
Dan explicitly stated that this song was coming in his forum post, so naturally we had to include it in the post!
Come to Life
Did you ever play Guitar Hero: Van Halen? If you did, then you’ll remember this great song that totally made sense in a game devoted to the music of 70s/80s arena rock band Van Halen!

i would love
open your eyes
blackbird
cour d'alene
and
fortress
well technically i'd like all 4 albums plus bonus tracks but thats wishful thinking 😛
I'll buy any songs in this pack ! YES !
Yes. Yes . Yes . Yes. Best yet by a million miles. I would buy every single one of theirs. Would buy the game and a ps3 just to play this dlc. Have all their albums and all their tab books. Heres a very happy bunny.
Rise Today is in!
“Get ready to change this world”
Gotta have Rise Today and their BEST SONG BY FAR – Open your eyes!
Cult of personnality (CM Punk)
Metallingus (Edge)
…
Next one ?
Motorhead – The Game (HHH)
Yes! I would buy this in a heartbeat! Blackbird will be an amazing addition, that song is a masterpiece.
I would also like to see “Watch Over You” for some rhythm fun and “Open Your Eyes” “cuz that solo is killer.
I am surprised to seeing such a positive response. So used to people bitching when they could just be playing guitar instead. I do not know Alterbridge, I knew Creed but did not like their music. After watching these videos this band looks to have a lot to offer. Can’t wait!! 🙂
I’ve seen both creed and alterbridge a couple of times. I’ll probably pick this up.
I would Love to have “Open Your Eyes”
I played way too much Madden 2005 back and this song was on the soundtrack.
Would love a creed pack also
Bullets…
What if…
Wow….”members of Creed” has got to be about the least confidence-inspiring phrase I’ve ever read. I won’t be touching this pack with a ten-foot pole.
ye a cunt, ‘Arry
Then it really shows how childish and biased your thought processes are.
Not at all. I know a number of people who consider Creed the worst band in the world. I think they’re probably one of the ten worst bands in the world. They are the epitome of bland, vanilla radio “rock.” Now consider the pure number of bands in the world. Hell, consider the amount of bands available in Rocksmith. Why in the fuck would I spend my hard-earned money on DLC of a band featuring members of one of the lamest bands on Earth? Why would I even take the time to listen to the band, when there is a virtually limitless supply of other bands that *don’t* contain said members are are therefore inherently much less likely to suck balls? There’s a reason that music critics always hated Creed no matter how well they did commercially.
Because having members in common automatically makes bands the same musically? Especially when said members aren’t the singer. And if you want to bring critics into this, they’re actually pretty fond of AB.
Did you read what I said at all? Because I took great pains to say that having members in common with Creed does not mean that the band will suck or be the same musically. It means that the band is more likely to suck than the gazillion bands out there that don’t have members of Creed in them.
As for your fictitious statement about critics, from Wikipedia:
“However, in spite of this enormous commercial success, Creed was poorly received by professional critics, such as Robert Christgau.”
Although that’s Creed, not AB….
“Did you read what I said at all? Because I took great pains to say that having members in common with Creed does not mean that the band will suck or be the same musically.”
Did you even read what you said at all? Because nothing in your comment alludes to that, let alone “took great pains” to say it. And no matter how you spin it, refusing to even give a band a chance based SOLELY on who’s in it is still closed-minded as hell.
Woo!!!!!! 😈
What if… I liked Creed??
Although yeah, they could have been way better if Scott Stapp wasn’t a dick.
I don’t mind Creed in a nostalgic sort of way 😉
😯 nobody thought about The Black box Revelation….talking about the clue 😛
This version of blackbird sounds nothing like the original by the Beatles maybe its just a different take on the classic
Here’s a different take on a classic
2/10
Hopefully, if we’re very lucky, the songs will be down-tuned, full of power chords and palm mutes again 🙄
I really just can’t understand all the hate about this that comes from some people. I have really never listened to Alter bridge or some of the other DLC bands but that never warrants more than a “meh” reaction, since there are just so many other songs available to fully learn. If in the slight chance you have some how mastered all the RS songs,STFU, get social, go out, start a band and start making music!
I think one song from each of the 4 albums will be represented…
Blackbird
Isolation
Metalingus
Addicted To Pain
Never heart about Alter Bridge but they sound good … I don’t understand why this should be Pop-Metal but anyway … I’m getting rid of these virulent brainless posts from kids who failt in getting a social behaviour. Zombies .. This is no official ubisoft side … Elliott is doing this in his freetime and it makes me really sad that you posts your brainless fuXX onto his pages. Shame on you!
I like how some people are raging over Alter Bridge just because Ubisoft didn’t get “that one band” said people wanted next Tuesday. Get over it. C’est la vie.
i just wanna say fuck you to rocksmith for making me spend 60bucks to buy a game that at the time had awesome dlc available that was in january , now for the last 2 months there has been the fall of bandfuse and the secret merger which give rocksmith all license rights to all harmonix (songs in rockband games)
so while everyone is jacking off to this alter 1 hit wonder bridge and 90s spin doctors harmonix is laughing at you because there making twice the money because your downloading the same song from the same source twice and btw you might as well kill yourself your already dead
Jeebus, buddy. Lighten up.
Not only was there tons of overlap with Rock Band way before January, there’s been less Rock Band songs since January than songs not in Rock Band, with this pack only adding to that.
You’ve been warned twice about spreading misinformation. You are now banned from commenting
awwwww what is this the fbi now because of that you hurt my feelings and i’m going to slit my wrists goodbye cruel world
and it is real information prove to me its not u can’t so ha
> get the kleenex
Why? There is nothing to wank over in this post.
Yeah… The Alter Bridge pack on Rock Band was so good…
Godsmack > Alterbridge
Complete silence > Alter Bridge
Just kidding. 😀 They’re not my cup o’ tea but obviously not every weekly DLC is gonna be a hit with every single person who owns this game. I’m actually quite happy about this week’s content because it shows they’re still mixing it up with the variety. I hope they keep up the good work!
Alter bridge lacks attitude. It’s like their guitarists are begging the lead singer to get serious at any time but fails to complete the task. Alter bridge is like the typical generic intro to an anime.
WHAT THE FUCK
UBISOFT GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER
WE WANT *GOOD MUSIC*
Nobody likes this shitty band, what the fuck is wrong with you
ITS TIME TO PUT UBISOFT OUT OF THEIR MISERY. SHUT DOWN THIS WEBSITE.
THIS
looks like mommy will be saving a few bucks again this week
Don’t impersonate other users please.
This joke is not funny
Literally nobody cares what you think, kill yourself.
Literally? Ha… Love you, boo
Kill yourself if you’re going to respond to DLC like that.
WHAT A MEASURED RESPONSE.
I see you’re still very over the top with your trolling. If you hate rhythm games so much, perhaps you should find another hobby instead of smearing your brain feces on Riff Repeater.
>Implying he has a brain.
Nice meme arrows.
I LOVE RHYTHM GAMES
I WANT GOOD MUSIC, NOT BAD MUSIC
I WANT TO PLAY ROCKSMITH AGAIN
I OWN IT THATS WHY I COME TO THIS SITE
Do you realize how many people play this game? do you real think every week there like “man i hope david lane like this or were F**KED” NOPE cause your a trolling piece of shit mmmmmk
