Hey, Rocksmith 2014 fans, next week’s DLC looks to be a real scorcher and we aren’t f-f-f-foolin!
Yesterday we received three hints from Christopher Woo (@SquirellyNinja), Paul Cross (@CrossieRS), and a new community developer that will be familiar to our longtime fans from @TheHeroFeed, @DanAmrich!
After a couple of weeks of (relatively) newer stuff, next week’s going to be older

@DallasDave22 I’m on holiday in Las Vegas. The legendary artist for next week performed in Vegas and shockingly didn’t fill the house?!

On Sunday night, however, more than 6,700 fans filed into the Mandalay Bay Events Center to proclaim their enduring love for Def Leppard, the hard rocking Brits who dominated the FM airwaves during the 1980s.
And while Leppard probably never played to a house with more than 1,000 empty seats during its stadium touring heyday, the band gave its defiant supporters exactly what they came for: big, raucous sounds and bright, flashing lights, as if it were 1987 all over again.
“You didn’t hear it from me.” – Dan Amrich (Forum Link)
Well Def Leppard is definitely older than AFI, A Day To Remember, and Matchbox Twenty!
Can you believe we thought the hint was pointing at Bob Dylan again though? (Should have gone with this)
In any event Def Leppard is a welcome addition to the Rocksmith catalog and have had their fair share of exposure through both Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
Edit: Whoops
Tomorrow we’re adding 3 songs by an American legend. How does that feel? pic.twitter.com/pDQAubS9ET

Note, this is the first Bob Dylan DLC EVER
Finally. I was a bit tired of last DLC so im pretty excited for this pack. I hope it will be 5songs not 3 like Kiss or Doors had. And I would be glad to see more 80′ comming like: Bon Jovi, Scorpions or Van Hallen.
Let’s have something recent and decent please
more 80’s radio rock…. 😥
every tastes are in the nature… hope there will soon be dlc for my tastes..
Cool 🙂
But just out of curiosity, I wonder if there’s a chance to get some country/country rock. That’ll definitely add a little more variety
I only care if the guitar gives me more than just power chords in the lead. If it aint ur kinda music try to see past it and learn the guitar.
… Just let it be better than the aerosmith dlc .. Might be a pass for me
I hate Foolin especially after hearing it all the time the last few years
I don’t think RS can screw up this DLC play list
unless its only a 3-pack which they often do for Classic Bands
I never was a BIG Def Leppard fan but respect their discography
& with always having 2 guitarists their songs will be fun to play
Rhythm,Bass,Lead for a long while.
😎
I’d love to finally get a decent transcription of Photograph. It’s always been my dad’s favorite guitar song and I’d love to be able to surprise him with it!
This will hold you over for now
It’s about time man!! after 4 weeks of garbage
😯
Oh really … Plz tell us .. Was you living 4 weeks in garbage? … Was you eating 4 weeks only garbage? .. Or are you telling 4 weeks only garbage? … Or is your taste of music just garbage …
thats what i said (to you, jeam)
about fucking time we get something kickass and classic. here is to hoping they can keep doing this.
(Still infinitely hoping for Pink Floyd DLC)
I could not be more agree
WASTED! That’s about all I Really want out of Def Leppards singles. Rock of Ages wouldn’t be bad and Bringin’ On The Heartbreak wouldn’t be terrible.
Was hoping it would be Nirvana DLC for the 20th anniversary of Kurt’s death. Too bad. Def Leppard is still awesome though.
i thought they were working on an “in utero” pack.. that would have been a real better choice for this week, as homage to kurt’s 20th death anniversary..
well, for the “femme fatale” pack, it was released the week after the actual women’s day, so we can still hope for a nirvana’s pack for next week…
I don’t mind giving the guitarists a week to shine. AFI basslines will keep me busy a while. Will probably pick up this pack too though I am not too into 80s stuff. Will add some variety to the set.
can we get real bands i do like this but i’d prefer korn slipknot five finger death punch, know what i’m saying real music for guitar not just palm mutes which is all def leppard use how about some more drop c instead of e standard
Did you just call Korn, Slipknot, FFDP real music? Women know nothing about music.
a) Wow. Just wow. Go back to the 50’s dumbass.
b) This coming from the same guy who DOESN’T think AFI is crap? Your opinion is duly ignored henceforth and forever.
Getting real fucking tired of people telling other what music is “real” or not. Some people like the music that you also like, some people don’t, neither of you are wrong. Don’t like it? Leave the planet.

While I hate to agree with Mike in *any* way, Five Finger Death Punch has got to be one of the worst metal bands of all time. They are everything wrong with the rock/metal scene. Seriously. Their crap ass version of “House of the Rising Sun” is disgraceful, abysmal, and really says something about just how bad they are that this is their second cover song to be a single. That’s because they don’t have any of their own music worth anyones’ time.
I have to admit, I really liked Bad Company, but House of the Rising Sun seemed like a lame attempt by someone to try and duplicate it’s success. I cringe whenever I hear their “Sin City” lyric change. I’d say they have a couple good songs- Lift Me Up and Coming Down come to mind-but I don’t really get the hype.
Yeah, their cover of “Bad Company” isn’t terrible. I really, REALLY hate it when bands feel the need to inject their own name into songs though, especially in a cover version when they have to change the original words to do so.
But sure, they have a few good songs. I like “Hard to See,” but I think that they are just not worth the praise they seem to have earned.
Mike fuck off
No, why should I?
Because you’re a little fucking cunt and everyone hates you?
Oooh! Don’t forget misogynistic, too!!
If I ever found you, I would stab you in the throat.
I assume with that sharp wit of yours?
There is only one thing you stab and it certainly isn’t the throat.
If I ever found you, I would kill you with ease.
Like all the sperm on your chin or even easier than that?
Go to hell.
Nice to see we have maturity here.
A little bummed that we probably won’t have the original tracks though…
Paul, Please give us some Machine Head!! Or some Trivium, something fast and heavy and in a funky tuning. Please! Something from George Lynch would also be sweet
Stop making dumbass metal requests.
You’re just going to ignore me aren’t you asshole?
Why do you need a reply? You’ve said your piece. Stop looking for attention and validation of your own opinion.
Hoping Photograph is one of the tracks because it was on GTA V.
look a trolling 13yr old comparing gta 5 to this game go to school kid
I’m not 13 years old.
then act your age instead of trying to the play ground bully
that’s always pissed off because of his mommies multiple boy friends
then act your age & stop trying to be the play ground bully…
why ALL the anger Mike..?
Ahh man … I was really hoping it was Dylan. Def Leppard is the cancer that killed NWOBHM. (Hey it seemed like everyone was pretty onboard with this one, so someone had to be the dissenter right?)
Regardless of any of that – thanks Ubi for continuing to produce content for this awesome game!
While I agree, Def Leppard was only part of the problem. Though not directly related to the death of NWOBHM, my beef lies with the likes of Poison, Cinderella, etc. I’m sad that people say Nirvana “saved” rock from bands like that (ha!), but I’d pick Leppard over those any day.
Cool. I,ll be gettin this.
But are you gettin’ it? (Really gettin’ it?)
Yes, armageddon it!
This should have been April foolin release not that ALF crap
AFI isn;t crap.
Ohhhhhh yeahhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Me like some def leppard. Bass lines don’t sound too hard but I like most of their hits so I’m definitely in.
Personally, I would be crazy excited for the following:
Foolin’
Photograph
Hysteria
Let’s Get Rocked
Too Late for Love
no complaints from me this week. Far from my favorite band, but good recognizable songs. It’s a refreshing change from all of the mid 90’s-and forward stuff of late. Even if I hate the song selections, i’ll be buying it in hopes that RS will be influenced to continue to add similar era/genre artists/songs.
Sure sure … Just throw your money out of the window … Maybe it will influence the world peace too … Total nonsense
I think the 5 pack will be:
Bringin’ on the Heartbreak
Hysteria (2013 Re-record)
Rock of Ages
Foolin’
Photograph
Licensing has generally been a problem for the Hysteria album (e.g. RB and GH got live tracks from Mirror Ball, RS got 2012 Re-record)
more emo shit
Yeh, the drummer in this band is quite the cutter…
Took the left arm clean off.

Bitch, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
is it?
If you’re really not sure if it is or not (it’s not), then why not take advantage of this wonderful thing before you called the internet and take some time to educate yourself before writing an ignorant comment!
Helpful instructions:
1) Go to the address bar at the top of your screen (it’s long and white and says “www.theriffrepeater.com…” in it right now)
2) Type “youtube.com” and hit “Enter”
3) Type in “Def Leppard” and any of the suggested songs
4) *facepalm*
You’re… you’re joking, right? I mean, this is the internet, so you never know, but I haven’t completely lost the faith in humanity just yet.
Really…Def Leppard is emo?
What time warp just happened, back in the 80s they were one of the hottest rock bands around.
Sounds like someone needs to learn to do research before preaching a non-sense.
