If you’re North American, then it’s likely that you may be scratching your head trying to figure out who this next band is. If, however, you live in Europe, then you may be jumping for joy! That’s right, Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro are making their Rocksmith debut next week!
Here you can find Dan’s hint:
For a while the prevalent guess was for Quiet Riot, mentioning the fact that they changed Come to, well, a particular word that sounds a whole lot like it, but may get this blog targeted by some work filters. It didn’t take long, however, for Scienceisfun to figure out the true meaning of this clue!
Dan confirmed this as being correct, and in the process, confirmed one of this week’s tracks, too.
So, with that out of the way, let’s take a look at what could be coming next week!
Black Chandelier
I somehow get the feeling this song might have come over to North America at one point, or at least Canada. I heard this song constantly over the work radio for a good couple of months.
Many of Horror (When We Collide)
Confirmed by Dan in the hint thread.
Mountains
This song is Biffy Clyro’s highest charting single, so it would be missed if it’s not featured here!
Opposite
A while ago, we posted an article about becoming a campfire guitarist. The softer sound of this song would definitely be another great contender for that list.
That Golden Rule
And finally we go from a slow, more mellow tune to an all out rocker! While perhaps not über-complex, this will definitely be a fun song for people to play.
What songs are you hoping for? Are you excited for this group, or do you wish Rocksmith would only release bands that are popular in America from now on? Let us know in the comments!
Looks awesome. I am totally unfamiliar with the band, but after taking a break last week this is a definite purchase for me.
good to see that RS has gotten some more foreign rock, now here’s hoping we can get some Scandinavian Leather in future dlc’s.
I’m gonna be sorely disappointed if “Mountains” isn’t included. Holy jeez, that soaring chorus. Can’t help but think this band would’ve been so much better in Rock Band though because all three band members sing lead and harmonize often, plus those strings/piano arrangements are BA.
This week pass, this is very easy for me
Gotta love those singers who blur out their band mates behind them. I think there is too much me, me, me anymore and less and less we, we, we.
Led Zeppelin never did that because every band member was key and everyone in the band was in spot lights.
That’s not entirely true. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page used to hog the stage like crazy. Their egos are enormous.
I guess if there is only one talent then the band is named for that one person.
By the way, which one’s Pink?

Thanks Elliot, that helped explain the name. I’m even more disappointed by the name.
Pink Floyd reference. I get it. 🙂
not bad…
but not for me
The golden rule reminded me of the Foo fighters
Amazing, definite buy for me !
Mountains looks fun on bass:
Awesome, vaguely know them, but they sound good. More my kind of music than a lot of the recent DLC I’ve bought.
Never heard of them but I checked out the videos and was impressed. Initially I thought it would be another heavy pop punk band but was really surprised. I like it – think I’ll be getting it. Love it when I hear new stuff!
Who?
THIS
It says right in the Title…. Seriously.
Or is this one of those super sarcastic posts that imply’s that because they aren’t in your own sphere of knowledge then they clearly aren’t worth knowing about?
Best dlc ever!
Who? I listened to the songs and I don’t hate them. I might consider this dlc depending on the songs. Lets get some John Mayer dlc. He can rock his strat off.
AWESOME!!!
I so hope Black Chandelier is on there! This is a fantastic band that I’ve followed for years and years.
Bassist uses Drop C a lot I think. Will be interesting.
Oh really? damn it. I always thought these guys were rock music for people who don’t like rock music… and they have the stupidest name ever. Still, I’m pleased for those who like them.
And this band? ❓
Ehh…. it’s not bad it’s just.. I wonder if the folks over at Rocksmith actually have something interesting they’re sitting on and week after week they just hold back on us or if they really don’t have much and this is the best they can do.
Pretty sure that, since the UK is the 2nd biggest Market for Rocksmith, this is something that have been sitting on. Biffy Clyro are a pretty big deal over here.
Gave the songs a listen. For some reason I imagined these guys would be a little heavier, but they’re honestly not bad. Don’t see myself buying the pack though, since I’m too cheap to get any DLC I only kind of like. But then maybe I’ll be blown away by how fun they look to play or if they have songs not listed here that are even better, so like always I’ll just wait and see.
If you want their heavier stuff, listen to There’s No Such Thing as a Jaggy Snake
…and not for the last time I’m sure, I find myself saying… who?
That is so… true. But I’m up in the air on this one.
Sweet. I’ve heard of them and I come from Australia. they’ve been on the rock radio station from where I live. as for songs I think it could also include “Semi-mental”, “Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies”, or also “Biblical” and “The Captain”
They are a 3-man band, so I guess that`s 1 guitarist, but I`m not sure if that means Rhythm is totally out of the picture? Does anyone know if they record a Rhyhm chart / do Rhythm guitar with the extras on their concerts?
I will have to see the charts to make a final decision, but overall I`d say pass. At least we got rid of this month`s pop rock. Hoping for something more exciting soon. Till then I`ll just keep forgetting we got Billy Talent not so long ago with Micheal some more.
Listening to the songs (first time I’ve heard anything by these guys), there’s definitely a lot more going on in the recordings than just the three of them, it seems like they really go all out with piano and/or string sections when they feel like it. Many of Honor is the only one where multiple guitar parts really jumped out at me, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most if not all of the songs have them considering how layered they are.
They play live with 2 guitarists, so a lot of stuff from Puzzle onwards has both rhythm and lead.
alright, thanks
Another band that’s played on satellite but I just couldn’t quite get into.
Not bad.
interestng!
