Hello Rocksmith fans! Next week’s DLC has been revealed and it is definitely on the Top 40 Requested List, although we were wrong, and many of you were probably expecting something more dire.
Oh well, though it looks like a few of you were right!
42 of you folks to be exact, as next week’s DLC is most definitely Bullet For My Valentine!
Let’s take a look at @DanAmrich’s clue shall we?

BFMV is a band that is no stranger to music games. Scream Aim Fire appeared on Guitar Hero World Tour (and later on Rock Band), Tears Don’t Fall, and Your Betrayal appeared as Rock Band 3 DLC in May of 2012, Waking The Demon showed up as a DLC single in 2009 for Rock Band 2, and of course their on disc inclusion on the late BandFuse with Tears Don’t Fall.
Not going to lie, aside from making a really stupid vocal video for Scream Aim Fire I have no real affection for this band so your guess is as good as mine to what songs Ubisoft SF has picked (or whether it’s a three, four, or five pack).
I will say though that these dudes are not slouches on Guitar so if you wanted something challenging and not in E Standard, you are probably really happy right now.
Are you excited for MOAR METAL(core)? Or is this the type of metal that you scoff at in your Behemoth shirt as you pass Hot Topic? Let us know!

Funny how everyone is disgusted at this band. Just accept that every artist added isn’t for you, Get over it and move on. No need to add insults against people that like this kind of music, and not to mention completely bashing a certain genre of music just makes you seem like a narrow minded musician.
I don’t think anyone is disgusted with the fact that this band is getting DLC, it’s the ideology behind it being a “Top 40” requested band. To me that doesn’t really sit right. I can think of plenty of other artists that should be requested more than Bullet for my Valentine. Want a quick list? Here you go:
Chuck Berry
Dio
Johnny Cash
Deep Purple
The Who
The Clash
The Grateful Dead
Clapton
The Doors
Radiohead
Sex Pistols
Velvet Underground
Ramones
Cream
The Yardbirds
Elvis
Simon & Garfunkel
Bruce Springsteen
And that’s all just off the top of my head. There are many I probably left out that aren’t on that top 40 list. You would think some of these would get more requests than BfmV but there ya go.. that’s what bugs me. Not that they’re getting DLC. I really don’t care about that because I can skip buying it.
Yes thats your list, BFMV is totally on my list.
They aren’t going to make up the top 40 list from guesses, and the numbers don’t lie. Lots of people who use Rocksmith requested them. I am personally shocked they are in the top 40 and Motorhead are not, but there’s nothing I can do about that, if people aren’t requesting one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time there is nothing I can do to change that. I’ve put in my requests, that’s all we can do.
Exactly. The Top 40 shown here is probably the same Top 40 for Guitar Hero and for Rock Band. It never changes.
Very disappointed! Horrible “music”, I can see the technical challenges but the vocals are so of putting this is definitely a pass. No skin of my nose though. Just finished my DLC Christmas wish list for my wife and I am already close to $400 in the hole.. 😛
2nd week in a row of crappy music It should have been dire straits money for nothing not this crappy band I don’t listen to bands that came out after 1995 It’s all crap
and here we have a true musician folks…. hahahahaha!
Thanks for that laugh.
I might get tears don’t fall if they release that
Ok. So I watched those clips. It seems someone made a handful of film student shorts and needed a soundtrack made up of technical riffs, amazingly bad vocals, and generally bad songwriting.
I was wrong thinking they were just some generic emo band. These guys, albeit technically proficient, do indeed suck.
Wow. I sort of find myself lamenting blasting all the other glam-death fusion nonsense.
Glam death fusion? What lol
Damn. Disappointed
VERY FRUSTARING! The ckue was top 40, expectation with the bigger. But the really is a crap band. I desire didn’t know this garbage clue if top 40! Waiting 12/12 for hendrix
16th December is Hendrix.
Thanks!!! 12/16/14
16/12/14 in brasillian standart date
I’m guessing that as we got only a 3 pack for Killswitch Engage, this’ll also be only a 3 pack:
Scream Aim Fire
Tears Don’t Fall
Your Betrayal
Not that there are many BFMV fans here but here are my picks:
-Tears Don’t Fall
-Tears Don’t Fall (Part 2)
-Hearts Burst Into Fire
-All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around You)
-Your Betrayal
Well I’m excited for this! Should be fun to play. I’m just glad it wasn’t boring qotsa garbage or The Rolling Stones. Dire Straits would be awesome though.
A big “MEH” from me this week. Pass.
When are going to get some more music?
Requesting John Cage just for you
screw John Cage, I want that Taylor swift 27 seconds of white noise track next…
Ahh yes, her tribute to Merzbow
I like them but have kind of grown out of them recently, I haven’t listened to any of their cd’s for a long time now, but it’s good challenging guitar stuff so I’m reasonably pleased, it will be fun to play and is around my level (I think/hope). I still would have preferred any of the others people were suggesting such as Slayer, Dire straits, QOTSA. But not motley crue, they can bugger right off.
Pass for me I’m afraid. I was always surprised to to see BFMV in the to 40 list to be honest. “One of these things is not like the others”.
Still looking forward to Dire Straits at some stage.
Untill today I had know idea who Dire Straits was, so I you tubed them to see what the big deal was. So after listening to a few of their top listed songs I’m wondering why are they on the top 40 as well.
I am quite satisfied with official BFMV DLC. Hopefully a 5 pack is in order(any confirmation?). The songs posted are great choices. Maybe “All These Things I Hate Revolve Around Me”. Love that one.
No confirmation on pack size, we always assume it’s five though.
Five Pack 🙂
The vocalist has the vocal range of maybe 5 notes. If I feel generous that is. The guy just sounds so off key in every single song I have heard by the band that it hurts my ears for the 10 seconds before I cover them up or hastily click the X button wherever that may be.
Even if the guitarwork is decent, this is a MASSIVE FRIGGEN SKIP.
Why the hate for BFMV? 🙁
I’m okay with this. I don’t listen much to them anymore, but I used to be a big fan in high school, so I’m looking forward to learning some of their songs.
I have been severely disappointed in the dlc selection for the previous two weeks but my disappointment was intensified by this extremely sucky band.
At least Tom Petty & the Foo have talent.
I have been very happy happy with The Foo Fighters and BFMV. I am not a fan of Tom Petty, but I’m not bashing him and his band as both of these bands are very successful and popular to their own group of people. Maybe this week you can get a pack you didn’t get yet or save your money.
I will definitely be buying this pack. I would have been happy with QOTSA, RATM(first album), or Dire Straits, too. But I’m glad to see more of the top 40 making it into the game.
So maybe that is 40 out of the top 40… Oh well, roll on next Friday.
Grossly underestimating BFMV’s fanbase
You can’t compare Bullet for my valentine fanbase with Dire Straits’, BFMV fans are usually emo suicide teen retarded people who use facebook to post photos of them cutting their arms, and dire straits fans don’t know how to use computers 😆 😆 😆 There you go, a storm of steriotypes. BFMW is shit though.
Well then I guess all those dad’s sitting on their porches in their faded jeans better get to some computer learnin and requestin’ some Dire Straits ya heard?
Well, last time I checked Dire Straits was on the top 40…
But I’m assuming they are harder to license, as they only had 2 songs on GH ( Money for Nothing and Sultans of Swing) and one on rock band(Walk of Life).
But I’m not angry about it, just disapointed, such a buildup to get THAT…
We know they are coming though, just not sure when 🙂
I got my Sublime eventually you’ll get what you want hopefully as well
I also wanted Sublime 😆 but i want more 😈 and dire straits too 😆
If dire straits fans don’t know how to use computers, they won’t even bother to try Rocksmith. So no need for a DS pack. 😛
Since when does fanbase = good music? Justin Beiber has one of the biggest fanbases today but it’s all comprised of little teenage girls who wouldn’t know good music if it hit them upside the head.
Ahh yes the Bieber defence, and this time not even brought up for the right reasons. Thanks for your musical godwin martyrdom though.
Just stating the obvious 🙂 having a bajillion facebook likes doesn’t really mean anything to me.
It does when the conversation is “who got more requests”
Example: I posted about an ultimate-guitar showdown on the Buckethead fan page I run (80,000+ likes) and we were able to decimate Ritchie Blackmore’s fanbase.
https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/ug_news/ug_showdown_round_1_ritchie_blackmore_vs_buckethead.html?no_takeover
Does this mean Buckethead is BETTER than Ritchie Blackmore? No, it just means that it turns out Buckethead fans are much more willing to go to a website and click on something than the Blackmore fans.
Spoiler: Bucketbots won’t beat Dimebag/Pantera fans.
Using Bieber is the music discussion equivalent of Godwin’s law. When music is discussed for long enough someone will eventually bring up Bieber just as if a discussion goes long enough someone will eventually always brings up Hitler.
I made this point when Facebook likes were trotted out for other bands.
I laugh when I see it used. “But…but…look at how many likes they have.”
You don’t have to use that justification with any other band in that top 40 list.
OP stated “must be the bottom of the Top 40”
Are you denying that BFMV has a huge and vocal fanbase? Because that’s what we are discussing here, not who makes the sounds your brain likes more.
Maybe a good idea then to compare record sales and relative chart positions world wide rather than likes.
Facebook and Twitter marketing bods would love for everyone to equate ‘likes’ and ‘re-tweets’ as an indicator of potential sales, it’s just not the case however.
Yeah I have to agree with this. FB likes is but one aspect of an artist’s fanbase. What about all the old blokes who don’t even have a fb account? You’re telling me the Led Zeppelin page constitutes every fan they have?
Record sales and charts would be way more indicative of how popular one’s music is.
And going waaaay off topic here, but there is a great PBS Frontline doco I watched the other day called ‘Generation Like’. Shows how Digital Marketing drives these types of stats to clients without actual fans.
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/generation-like/
We aren’t talking about who sold more records and who had more hits. We are talking about which fans went to the request app, put in three songs and submitted them.
Too true. I would kill to see a comparison between requests vs sales for all DLC.
Wait – I thought we were talking about FB likes; at least that was your initial argument. Really don’t care as I don’t have a dog in this fight, but that was how you made your case for BFMV popularity. They’re a big pass for me, but I’m not going to complain about it.
I was pointing out how active their fan base is. I see bfmv being requested daily
Though you coil argue that there are less Dire Straits fans on FB that there are BFMV fans due the age differential.
But I agree people are underestimating this bands popularity.
They feature in the top 40 requests. That should say enough.
I doubt that the over all popularity beats DS though.
If this is top 40 then that means nothing might as well be bottom 40 requested what’s the d8fference. I was hoping for ratm, dire straits even queens of stone age. Let’s hope next week is better
How do you know ratm has more votes? Maybe are dwarfed by these guys…..
I’m disappointed in people’s music taste it’s like a death row inmate picking sloppy joes for his last meal. I want steak and lobster music
And you think RATM fits this discription?
😐
Rather farfetched don’t you think?
Emo eh? Meh
Wow, from Dire Straits to Scorpions to Slayer and then Rage Against the Machine, I would be happy with any of those, instead we get a poser metal band. Still hoping that we get Dire Straits and Slayer on the following weeks though.
I feel the same as you.. but you know what, It could have been even a worst “metal” band : it could have been Linkin park!
Meh, was really hoping for Queens of the Stone Age. Back to the request page…
No point the vote only counts once.
