Hello Rocksmith fans!
Our hint this weeks comes to us in the form of this puzzle:
Did you figure it out yet? It didn’t take long for the forums to fill in the squares, but that led to a jumbled up mess of letters that required some deciphering.
After twelve pages, we finally had our first stab in the correct direction.
They were right. It’s Primus.
We don’t know what songs are coming, or how many, but here’s what we think the pack may shape up like!
Jerry Was a Race Car Driver
Could this week finally be the week more-than-4 string bass is patched in? If not, I’d love to see how this song gets charted. Those of you who played the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater may remember this song from its awesome soundtrack!
Confirmed!
This week’s #Rocksmith2014 DLC never did win no checkered flags, but it never did come in last. pic.twitter.com/KL3dZinJzp

John the Fisherman
The only other Primus song to feature in a video (EDIT: rhythm) game, John the Fisherman was, if I recall correctly, the first ever master track to appear on the main setlist of a Guitar Hero when it showed up in Guitar Hero II! It’s one of their biggest hits and there’s almost no way that it doesn’t show up here.
My Name is Mud
This song definitely calls for some super advanced bass techniques that we haven’t seen before in the game. Plus, just think of the AMAZING tone we’ll get!
Tommy the Cat
Yet another incredible bass song (sensing a theme yet?) Plus, there are those who may see Tommy as a strange animal…
Too Many Puppies
The first song ever composed by Les Claypool, and a Primus fan favourite, this song is definitely on the more simple end of their catalogue and might provide a nice introduction to their music for less advanced players!
Of course, this pack coming out so soon after we find out Ubisoft San Fancisco is working on the new South Park game could be a bit more than a coincidence!
Are you excited to put your bass skills to the test, or are you holding out for something a bit more… conventional? Let us know in the comments!
Is it a 3 or 5 pack?
Have they said how they are mapping a 6 string fretless to 4 strings? Just by using tones?
4 Pack
Primus can be played on 4 strings
a 4 pack? not bad!!!
Aw The_Tuck beat me to it.
confirmed!
That dog will hunt.
I’m wondering how many people here are misinterpreting the ‘Primus sucks’ comments, hahaha! For those that don’t know, it’s how they introduce themselves on stage – “Hey hey, we’re primus and we suck!”. So it’s common for true fans to say they suck. I have to admit it can be very confusing. I wonder how many people saying they suck genuinely think they suck? Still hoping Tommy the Cat is one of the unusual animals. The two animals could also be Wynona’s beaver and maybe the southbound pachyderm… seriously excited for tomorrow…!
Nice dude they’re one of my favorite bands ever
I would love to see either Lacquer Head or DMV; both are played with four-string basses.
I’m calling:
Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver
Shake Hands With Beef
John the Fisherman
Tommy the Cat
Jerry Was a Race Car Driver
Man, i haven’t seen this amount of negativity since Creed. That’s saying something for a band that was influenced by (THE) Geddy Lee and taught by Joe Satriani.
YES! F***in YEAHarrrggghh! I have waited for this day since rocksmith was released and in the same week as I see Primus play Brixton academy playing Primus and the chocolate factory start to finish, plus some hits in a 2 set all night show and now THIS?! Best week ever for this hardcore Primus fan! They will all be 4 string songs though so Puppies, john and the 4 string live new (old really) version of tommy! This week will rule! Thank you rocksmith!!! And Elliot! I’m weeping tears of joy!
I am mostly pleased that the release of dlc promotes such controversy. I have been displeased so many times by the choices, but I bought some of it just to make sure I hated it. I think Primus bucks every trend and does what rock and roll does, it defies trends. It was sort of heavy sort of rhythmic with a great hillbilly funk. It is great and Les Claypool is a genius who fills a musical niche that he practically invented.
Shake hands with beef would be my top pick.
Primus sucks
If they include “Harold of The Rocks” it will be the best thing
I like their sound, but I want to see how the guitar is charted before I decide if this is something I want to buy now.
I’m very anxious to see what they’ll add to this pack.
My top 5 picks:
Tommy the Cat
My Name Is Mud
American Life
Mr. Know It All
Pudding Time
Bonus picks:
Hamburger Train (with Paul Reubens sample at the beginning)
Here Come The Bastards
Bob
DMV
Eleven
Mr. Krinkle was always a favourite Primus song for me. I’m guessing though a little difficult to transpose/track the Double Bass played with a bow… :pig::+1:
Here’s hoping this opens the way for some Buckethead slap guitar :chicken:
This is fucking awesome!
Holding out for the Partridge Family pack!!!
Fingers crossed for pudding time! So effing sweet!!! My fav band out of highschool!!
