Greetings Rocksmith 2014 fans, and welcome to the final speculation post of March! Not straying too far from this week’s DLC (decade wise) it’s looking like Matchbox Twenty will be the latest new addition to the Rocksmith catalog.
Today we have received three hints regarding next week’s DLC:
clue #1: so, Flyleaf was so sick… these guys are not…

At first we thought it was this:
Which would have been fine, but then @SquirellyNinja chimed in…
The location of Assassin’s Creed Unity is also the editing location of the self-described world’s first litblog

Great, I have to research what a LitBlog is? Luckily, wildeye from r/rocksmith found something I couldn’t.
Andrew Gallix is the editor of 3:AM Magazine and the founder of the world’s first literary blog. He teaches at the Sorbonne University and writes for a variety of publications including the TLS, theGuardian and Dazed & Confused. He is Anglo-French and divides his time between London and Paris.

So the magazine is called 3 AM… What’s a band related to 3 AM? Or wait, maybe it’s a song!
@CoreyOlechnowic Something to do with “The White Room”, forever and ever. (I’m not going to say if someone has it until lots of people do!)
— Paul Cross (@crossieRS) March 21, 2014
I can assure you that this clue isn’t about Cream or Eric Clapton, it’s just Paul pointing us towards an album entitled The White Room.
Which means that the first clue must point towards this!
What should the other three songs be?
Are you excited for the post-grunge stylings of Matchbox Twenty? Or are you still trying to forget about Rob Thomas? Let us know!
Matchbox 20 huh? Well heres hoping for next week. 😐
I hope this comes with a free elevator and a pack of sugerless gum
Matchbox 20??? Lol,Rob Thomas is so so over rated.That vibrato voice is mega irritating, sounds like he’s going to breakdown and cry. He need to man up and grow a pair. A comedian described his voice the best as a person singing out a car window as they drive by. I can understand women getting all mushy over him, saying “He’s so sensitive” and “He touches me emotionally in places I never knew I had”. Guys on the other hand…the only reason that makes sense to me is to score points with that certain person you trying to get to know better, then by all means… more power to you. The only song that I can remotely tolerate is Bad 2 Good, but I’m open to suggestions, I’m not totally closed minded but the songs that have been mentioned so far? No!!!
It’s not karaoke.
Oh…ok then, so who are the guitar and bass player I should be so aware of? Cause the only name that I ever known associated with Matchbox 20 is Rob Thomas. If they’re all that then I’ll give the band a second look. Just could never really get passed the singing…shoulders hurt to much from cringing.
I don’t consider R.T. to have a distinctive vibrato at all – it’s more like a twang (plus his non-word vocal fill mannerism). You should check out Feel, Stop, I’ll Believe You When, and The Difference. I think those offer some divergence from their trademark 90’s sound.
Well HolyHandGrenade I stand corrected. Your suggestions were well received. I never heard any of those song before and they had some substance to them except for that last one… I think you threw that one in on purpose.:roll: to much of that “twang” for me.
I prefer the second half of The Difference (it’s a 2 parter, if you didn’t get that far), but yeah, it does have a lot of “on a late-a-night drive”, “evray word you neva said” type thing going on. I also didn’t notice this until recently but quite a few of their songs have female backing vocals. Also, from their recent album North, Kyle Cook does vocals for The Way.
I’m hoping for how far we’ve come
Sucks. The best thing Rob Thomas ever did was with Sinbad.
I love Matchbox Twenty! Coldplay and Matchbox Twenty were the two main bands that made me want to learn to play guitar. 🙂
If they do actually release this Matchbox Twenty pack, then this will be my first Rocksmith DLC that I will insta-buy. I don’t think there is any way to go wrong with any of their songs.
ahh finally i don’t care what any of you say after last weeks piece of crap emo crybaby music rocksmith has restored faith they still know real music one of my all time favorite bands any songs they put up i’m buying em very pleased good job rocksmith
OH YES!! One of my favourite bands, so seriously excited. Here’s hoping for Unwell, Real World and How Far We’ve Come!
I guessed Harvey Danger… I missed that shot, but I’m a big fan of the clue trail. I hope they keep that up.
Matchbox Twenty DLC will be fun… but now Harvey Danger’s on my mind I’m going to go submit that on the RS request page…
i’ve heard of matchbox 20 but i don’t recognize the songs
another week with mediocre band as DLC. I’ll definitely pass on this one. Waiting for more indie/alternative stuff, especially British.
I’m going with these choices based on DLC from other games and assuming 3AM would be impossible to license.
Real World
Bent
Unwell
How Far We’ve Come
She’s So Mean
If it ends up being a 3 pack, I predict Real World and Unwell will not be in the pack (namely being exactly the same as the Rock Band pack).
Looking forward that. M20 DLC could be fun.
It’s over, goodbye Rocksmith, hello bandfuse. 👿
Someone’s too butthurt. Bandfuse is dead.
lol. tard.
So tons of DLC ranging from classic rock to modern metal gets released for Rocksmith, with a large variety in artists like Heart, Kiss, Iron Maiden, Rise Against, Evanescense, The Who and many more bands, but this one band… now they’ve gone too far and apparently, no more good DLC will ever be released in the span of who knows how much longer? Healthy attitude.
Why the hate for Matchbox 20?
Because it’s not RAAAAWR MOAR METAL! Or some indie band nobody else has heard of.
indie bands like what? I count like 4 dlc is from indie rock since RS started. But hey as long as we’re getting loads of crap mainstream bands, no one cares (no, I’m not saying all DLC bands are crap or mainstream nor implying every mainstream band is crap or that every indie band is good). 🙄
Yup, I’d say 4 is an accurate count.
I didn’t say RS actually released them, it’s just those are the only two genres anybody ever requests on here is all.
Umm…Arctic Monkeys, Minus the Bear, Radiohead, R.E.M., The Shins, Weezer, the Pixies, just off the top of my head….
Wait, just DLC? Um…Radiohead, Vampire Weekend, the Shins, the Strokes, the Cure, Modest Mouse, the Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, R.E.M….actually, that’s fewer than I would have expected….
Awesome, hopefully it’s a twelve pack :))
:yawn:
:double yawn:
while i’ve never been a big fan of Matchbox 20, I’d be up for learning some of their stuff. Real World and 3AM are pretty good.
I think M20 would be pretty cool. I was never big into them, never owned any of their albums, but I realize that I know all of the songs posted in this video just from being a 90s kid. 3am, Push, Bent, Real World and Unwell would be a great pack. I imagine one of them will be missing though probably in favor of something newer. Can’t remember which song of theirs was always on in the electronics section of Target a few years ago, but I would recognize it if I heard it I think.
Awesome, one of my favorite bands! Haters gonna hate on them, and actually I’m OK with that. I didn’t care for some of the previous DLC myself, but I love the fact that they’re releasing weekly song packs. You can’t please all of the people all of the time, but I think they’re doing a fine job with their selections so far.
Oh, and I hope “She’s So Mean” is in the pack! 😀
My guess:
3 AM
Unwell
Real World
Mad Season
Bent
She’s So Mean is also possible seeing how Green Day, R.E.M., Aerosmith, etc… have had songs from their most recent album
(But honestly, I’d love to see Argue, Feel, and Girl Like That)
I vote wussy and lame. pass
That’s funny, I just voted that on you.
Boooo! Until recently I was buying at least 2 dlc’s a month. Another pass I’m afraid, if the speculation is true.
I swear to god, if it is M20 and Real world ISN’T in the pack…
I’ll feel like when Dope Nose wasn’t in the Weezer pack.
Anything from Pinkerton
I dont like the mat all !!!!!! Flagpole Sitta would have been sick!!!!!!!!!! First one I won’t get since the very fist RSVP dlc. I don’t like incubus but I got it because it was the only one I didn’t have. I guess I will have to pass on this one and accept that I won’t have all the collection. To me this is where I draw the line. Matchbox’ success has always been a mystery to me.
Damn autocorrect. Sorry for the mistakes my keyboard on my iPad was in French. I didn’t notice….
As a huge Incubus fan can you explain what you don’t like about them for curiosity’s sake? I love Incubus. I am not as big on their older rap metal stuff, but they have such a diverse catalog that I can’t imagine someone who really appreciates music disliking them (or only them out of everything on the RS soundtrack). Make Yourself is one of my all time favorite albums and their band in general is just mixed so well. Morning View is also excellent as is their newest If Not Now When (much slower but still great; In the Company of Wolves as an example)
They really aren’t that different from Matchbox 20 😛 Just pretty bland radio rock. Just my opinion, of course.
you must have not been there when 3 am was first released. It was fresh at the time and Incubus did not exist. I always thought they were making “I wanna hold your hand” type songs (which matchbox is better 10 fold) and it is sad to see that they never really evolved past that the way the beatles did, they just kind of went stale after 2 records.
first incubus album is from 1995, that 3 am song is from 1997..
there’s nothing fresh in matchbox20, even for late 90s..
Maybe I didn’t listen enough but I just didn’t like what I’ve heard. There are bands I just don’t like for example the tea party. Can’t stand them but I can understand that ppl like them. I listen to all kinds of music from different era and different countries. Some of the music I love is shit to someone else’s ears. 😆
