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
the predictions are a changin
… hope fails …
Wait. So wtf was the Josie and the Pussycats link?
Dan Amrich being a jerk!
I actually just figured it out. Bob Dylan supposedly wrote Blowin in the Wind at a coffee bar called The Fat Black Pussycat. Never would have figured that one out without working backwards.
Also “didn’t hear it from me” ??? Possibly meaning we heard the answer “Blowin in the Wind” ???

this news Sucks WORSE than the worst Suck ever Sucked
👿
Pass on this DLC. Was really hoping for Def Leppard, oh well maybe we’ll get them soon as it’ll probably be another few months of on disc artists.
Pass. Def Leppard would have been better for me.
Elliot! You built me up just to let me down… man… guess ya can’t nail it every time 🙁
Damn you Dave Chapelle
Could be worse! Dylan on Bandfuse… Vocal coach would have to be an Ambulance. /runs away laughing
I was wanting some Def Leppard… Ubisoft just doesn’t want any money I guess.
Not buying Dylan, can’t stand him. Good songwriter but he should pass to someone else to that can actually sing. His voice sounds like he has a mouthful of marbles …
it must have came for free with the harmonix merger expect more of the same mixed in
Harmonix merger? Tell me more
Sigh….Dylan….pass yet again. Nothing has interested me since Boston and Halestorm.
Def Leppard would have been nice.
Maybe DLC will get my money next week.
Scandalous! 😳
I know, why didn’t they come out with this sooner. It is so nice to hear real art as opposed to manufactured art every once in while. thank you, rocksmith.
I was referring to TheRiffRepeater getting a prediction wrong for once. I’m a Bob Dylan fan, so I don’t mind it especially considering the recent run of dlc. But I don’t think that Rocksmith is particularly suited for acoustic stuff, fingerpicking, and chord strumming. I find this kind of material much more fun and rewarding to play outside Rocksmith. But I’ll wait until I see the song choices to pass the final judgement.
Now personally I wouldn’t mind some Johnny Cash material with Luther Perkins on guitar. I’d like to think that the boom-chick style guitar playing would work better within Rocksmith, and there hasn’t been any similar material as of yet from what I can recall.
By the way whoever came up with the name “Rocksmith” must have lost Ubisoft a ton of money. Not only because it’s not all about rock, but it’s also so tacky and contrived that it sounds like Japanese game title.
😥 😥
Looks like it really is Dylan this week. I’d actually have preferred Def Leppard, but this could be cool.
i’d prefer frank sinatra over hippy drug music
You should’ve kept your gut feeling. Bob Dylan: https://twitter.com/rocksmithgame/status/453215482196152320
You know, I’m thinking it might be Dylan instead of Def Leppard. One the clues mentioned legendary “artist” and the last time I checked, Def Leppard had 4 3/4 artists…
And the best Def Leppard drummer joke goes to…
It’s a bob Dylan three pack
If The riffrepeater says Deff leppard, IT’S DEFF LEPPARD 😈
*insert generic comment about not having bought DLC for 5 weeks because everything is crap and no one else’s opinion matters here*
I haven’t bought DLC for weeks cause for 5 weeks all the DLC was weak!!!
and your opinion does not matter!!!
Now it’s 6 weeks 😀
anyone notice since bandfuse went under the dlc has been crap nothing that has never been released on any other game just the same old crap every week i don’t want to play this band on guitar so i am done with dlc 12 bucks a week in my pocket
there is a bit of truth in that … the best DLCs has been released at the beginning of 2014 … perfect to push rocksmith 2014 forward … buts it not all crap since then… i really wonder how mean-spirited a lot of posts are … is this about youth? … but I want but I want but I want .. I wanna wanna want …. 🙄
fyi i’m not old enough to be a bob dylan crackhead fan but i am to be a korn freak before my rant i mentioned the secret merger harmonix has a overlod of garbage read the songs that were on the 3 rockband games
There are plenty of people that do wanna play this on guitar, though. But let me guess, they don’t matter as long as you get what you want, right?
i know there is and i don’t care about them no i’m tired of these 1 artist release i wouldn’t complain if it were a mix bag every now and then
No
I approve of the Def Leppard rumor but i think it will be Dylan this week. Id really like to see some SKA music make an appearence, its one of my guilty pleasures and its a whole different style of strumming.
I’m on holiday in Las Vegas. The legendary _artist_ for next week performed in Vegas and shockingly didn’t fill the house?!
singular
Depending on the tracks, could be an ok week. It doesn’t matter what DLC is released, there’s always going to be haters who will feel the need to vent thier frustration out on here. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, simple. Everyone would love certain songs or artists released but rocksmith isn’t going to be able to cater for everyone. You can please some people sometimes but you can’t please all the people all the time.
the past three weeks of the same style and same decade was not even trying to please all the people. If they changed it up as they were doing before this last month there would be much less bitching.
Matchbox Twenty, ADTR, and AFI is the same style and decade. Well that’s a new one
I’m not a Def leppard fan, but those songs sound fun to play and a little challenging in places too, that is good enough for me. I hope it isn’t Dylan, I love his songs but it’s just guitar strumming. Personally, I don’t want super-easy songs, I’ll learn nothing from them and can play them without the game quite happily. *cough* oasis *cough*…
actually I’m being unfair there, it depends on the songs, there could be some fun/challenging stuff. I forgot about a few I’ve listened back to tonight. I was too hasty to judge and I apologise.
You are far too polite for an Internet forum user…
Another week, another DLC so boooooooring it’s not worth buying! Next, please! (but I hope for something better this time, like, for example, QOTSA or some UK indie/alternative. Still, I’d rather have Dylan this week tho, because I’d at least consider buying Bob’s DLC)
Good news!
What about the clue about the guitar going on. It could be tom petty
Mikes just jealous cause he wishes he could play that ’68 Studio Gibson his parents bought. My “dumbass” metal requests may not be everyone’s choice but neither is shit like Def Leppard. Have some Respect for other musical talent you close-minded fuck.
I’m not musically ignorant. I’m into pretty much every genre except for rap, country, and Christian. I just hate metal elitists.
OMG! My faviourte band. I already know 10 of their songs on guitar, but it will still be awesome to see some DL on RS. I personly want to see Hysteria, or Hysteria (In The Round In Your Face Live concert version). Stand Up kick love into motion, Armageddon it, or Let it go as the surprise song, as the other songs are always used, but are really good.
It will be Bob Dylan: The last tweet by @squirrelyninja was “If you misread next week’s DLC you won’t think of Alf, but don’t get it mixed up with one of the five best rappers of all time.” This is definitely pointing to this: “Who are the 5 best rappers of all-time? Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan and Dylan!”
I still hope for Def Leppard though
Or this guy
Dang, you’re probably right. I was hoping for Def Leppard.
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one here who has not disliked any of the DLC that has come out.
On topic, it has been a while since we had faster solos in the DLC. We’ve had nice riffs, but nothing too out of this world. It’s been a minute since Boston came out, so I’m glad we’re getting more 70s and 80s love.
awesome about time we get some 80’s now give us some crue
Glad to see more 80’s 🙂
Would rather have Ratt, Crue or Jovi, but this should still be pretty cool.
Jovi would be a great addition
