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!

Can’t believe all the flame wars on here. It really is pathetic. IT’S VIDEO GAME DLC. This band is not really my cup of tea, but they’ve got solid riffs, which is really the biggest deciding factor for me. If I cared at all about singing quality, then I wouldn’t be requesting Slayer songs. This isn’t a karaoke game, this is intended to make you a better guitar player, and songs with challenging guitar parts are going to make you better faster.
On top of that, any band that my wife likes enough to want me to play their songs for her is a winner in my book. Definitely would buy Tears Don’t Fall and Hand of Blood if they’re options.
Hand of Blood
The Poison
10 years today
i prefered the poison album after there good but the first one is something really different before is operation
Grow some Balls and listen to some metal Or Cry Some More and listen to your 70’s Shit Ready for some damn Metallica To Rock The Charts. But BFMV Isn’t that bad its a lot better then the weird shit they’ve had its like Dinosaur Shit. Sorry I’m not a old timer or a cocky ass player trying to Impersonate the ‘Legends’
Please Hands Of Blood!!!! The Heavier the Better 😈
I want this side to automatically change the word “Metallica” to “Rebecca Black”
Who? Pass
is hearts burst into fire ,all these things i hate (Revolve around you) and The last fight gonna be on the bullet for my Valentine pack?
STEAM SALE next week. Time to back the dlc truck up.

I hate this band with a fury… Ugh! [Clichéd glad for the fans text]
Shut up and take my money.
Can we just take a step back for a second from the argument over why you all hate these guys to appreciate how many Bandfuse artists Rocksmith was able to license? After it went under, I can totally see a bunch of them wanting to back away from this type of game.
Yeah, I would totally back away from somebody offering me money.
Most people also don’t like to have their name attached to a sinking ship, and even though that’s certainly not the case with Rocksmith, it’s one of the theorized reasons that Van Halen won’t license their music to the game (because of their Guitar Hero).
We all know old guys with wifeys don’t like metal, but do they need to keep reminding us every time a metal DLC pack comes out?
Maybe it’s not the metal that bothers them but frequency.
Nah, it is the fact that it is awful and actually hurts to listen to.
Yeah I would totally play this music to end hostage situations I doubt anyone could tolerate this for more than a song
At least we still have Hendrix in Dec!
better call a Waaaahmbulance for all the whiners out there
For all those who feel the need to complain, whether it be the “this music sucks” or “I’ve never heard of them so they must not be important” type of whiners, do you all realize how you sound from the other end of the computer?
How many of you I wonder, had parents that “trashed” your Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Beatles, and countless other ‘classic’ bands that we worship today?
Have you not realized a lot of you sound the same? You have become those ‘parent types’ that would shame you for your music choices.
I feel bad for those stuck inside their own musical bubble, unwilling to explore the vast ocean of music.
For me, music (many genres) gives me emotions and feelings I can not feel any other way. There is no greater feeling when you hearing something for the first time that send shivers down your spine.
Long live music discovery.
I’m 19 and still think this guys suck, not to say that I am narrow minded, as I like both Lamb of God and Foster the People for example, but IMO the problem is that a “BIG TOP 40 BAND” was next week’s dlc, everyone got their hopes a bit too high and this is far from what Slayer or Dire Straits are.
Honestly, I can not be bothered to explain to you how faulty your reasoning is… Just no. Oh, god! NO.
I honestly think its not that bad, I expected this band to be rubbish and boring. It is acctually something new to me and refreshing. As a metalhead all i hear is: “they suck”, “My dead great grandfather sounds better” or ” this is for fags”. The problem with metalcore or emo music, is that it isnt that except for a few bands IMO, the tone it setted for when it started gave it a bad rep. As a metalhead who listens to death metal, thrash, grindcore and black thrash, I can safely say I like this band and people at least we are getting something a bit challenging. Would you rather get a chord heavy song or something which requires a bit more technique? Remember this game was meant to help you learn to play the guitar or improve on skills. Honestly I was hoping for Slayer but I’m glad it’s these guys, so I could open myself up to a new band.
is that it isnt that bad*
Really loved their “Poison” album, hope there will be songs from this one, but I’ll take any of their other songs whatever it is. Great guitar parts ! 🙂
Ok, Elliot. Maybe glam-death fusion is unfair to death metal. But these guys are indeed hamming to their reflections while trying to play heavy.
Look, the vast majority of us are supremely stoked with the Ubi crew, but this shit is silly. Who the fuck listened to this crap and said, “this sounds legit”?
yes, this style of music appeals to quite a few folks, but this particular band seems to be a product of a producer’s vision as opposed to a group of guys and gals that are actually a band.
These guys make music videos for the uninformed. Do we really need the younger generation so handicapped by off-key singers with poorly-applied eyeliner?
*Sigh*
It was supposed to be RATM…
Never heard of BFMV, listened to them, not a fan. I cant stand the screaming in every song.
Bullshit for my valentine. Come on, this is “mindless metal” for frustrated kids.
Finally some BFMV, I would like:
3 pack:
Scream aim fire
Waking the demon
Tears don’t fall
5 pack:
Hands of Blood
your betrayal
Cool to have this DLC! We need all styles in rocksmith. practicing my vocals! Please listen to Gene! And I spotted the suggestion for Behemoth!! very good idea Riffrepeater!!
Before Rocksmith I just didn’t listen to metal, now I have a reason to hate it. Let’s just call it Metalsmith.
I personally like most of the Artists in the Top 40 (not all), but I am not going to bash the people or artists that I don’t like. That is just inconsiderate and rude to others.
I requested several of BFMV’s songs, so I am very happy that they are being released.
A lot of people must be happy about this since it’s top 40. Be happy for people getting their turn. They can’t satisfy every single person every week. Not really my kind of music, but some of these do sound fun to play.
Anyone else starting to get a backlog of songs to learn to play? My RS backlog is starting to look like my steam backlog. 😮
Totally agree you.
I’m happy they have songs they like and I’m happy I can save few pennies.
I’ve spent a fortune on dlc including stuff I never play.
(Would gladly even delete some of it just to get rid of it but ah well.)
Not enough blues available though and possibly too much metal. But I can’t have it all my way and all dlc is a good thing to have available no matter if I buy it or not.
I just wasted my money on bad dlc just to hope we get a good song
but I guess I was wrong
but what is with the votes
are you saying that we might not get
Bullet For My Valentine
and we might get something else
I hope so
No.
OK
I might have to play guitar hero would tour and found out if they are good or not
or just listen to the songs on youtube? Much easier…
But be warned – once you have listened to them you can’t “unlisten” them.
