Well Rocksmith 2014 fans, it seems like we are going to be staying in that 90s groove next week judging by today’s hint from Paul Cross (@CrossieRS).
Clue time. I misread next week’s dlc and thought it had something to do with eating cats! — Paul Cross (@crossieRS) March 28, 2014
Now if you are confused by that hint, allow me educate those of you that aren’t children of the 80s.
This is ALF who was the star of an 80s sitcom from 1986-1990 titled just that… Alf was an alien from the planet Melmac and on that planet Cats are the equivalent of Cattle. I’m really not making this up, you can check here.
In any event Paul’s hint is poking fun at the band AFI and ALF being easily confused on a first glance.
AFI are no stranger to the music game scene, as they have been featured both on disc for Rock Band and Guitar Hero, as well as supplemented by downloadable content.
While we aren’t exactly sure if AFI is destined for a 5 Pack next Tuesday, here our the likely picks to make it.
@LoLRyou yes. a very good chance. stay tuned. that’s all i can say.

Isn’t it great when wishes come true?
I would prefer some more Rise Against. I am not really into this EMO stuff.Miss Murder is the only song i know from them, not to bad but there are Songs out there i am interested in… Hopefully next week….
Semi-informed guess…I’m a sucker for hints so I tried to figure out the 1999 song:
Miss Murder
Girl’s Not Grey
Leaving Song Pt II
Ever and a Day?
It is still unbelievable that people are still whinning about the DLC puts out. There are sooooo many different taste in music.
Ubi is trying to address to appeal to the masses and make as much $$$ as possible.
I’m have not bought a pack since the Boston and Halestorm, but I’m not whinning. I’ll just get the next one’s I like. Ya know, there is still something called reading music, tabs and learning by ear.
RS is just an outlet to have fun. Play the guitarcade games if your that bored, sheesh.
wat
I appreciate different tastes in music, however mediocrity should not be praised. As a consumer I have a right to bitch and moan since my money actually has some value. So I purchased new pickups and a tele. So, perhaps RS in a round about way is helping me become a better guitarist 😆
I hope this isn’t a joke. I’d love to play me some AFI!
If it’s a 5pk, I’d hope for…
the Despair Factor
the Leaving Song pt 2
Summer Shudder
Torch Song
Endlessly, She Said
If it had to be 3…
Dancing through Sunday
Cold Hands
Okay, I Feel Better Now
It’s confirmed on facebook rocksmith french page
Am I the only one hoping for a 5 Nirvana Pack ? I mean, come on, soon Kurt will be dead for 20 years now. “Anniversary” bitch.
I’ve been waiting for a Nirvana pack since the game first came out. You’re right, this month marks 20 years since his death. There was also mention of more 90’s bands soon so I wouldn’t be surprised if Nirvana is this month.
We still miss a Nirvana, Pixies and Ramones DLC
Nirvana pack is a no brainer for this game . I would take any old seattle band over these A’s ADTR AFI whats next ABBA
In that case, gimme some Soundgarden too
Paul has mentioned before that there is an In Utero pack in the works
And we still miss a Rolling Stones DLC
Could definitely go for a Pixies pack. One DLC song is not enough 🙂
No thanks.
3 weeks in a row of extremely american pop-rock? Really? Oh well, here’s hoping they change up the genre for next week. I know they can’t please us all all the time, but this month it’s like they aren’t even trying. A different genre each week would be much more likely to please us all, wouldn’t it?
and yes, by genre I mean sub-genre or decade I suppose.
I could be wrong but I don’t think AFI is a given nor has it been confirmed yet for this week. As an American raised in the 80s I’m quite familiar with Alf but I rather doubt that Paul and most British and European folks had any interest…was definitely an American thing. I’ve seen Def Leppard (“fed leopard”) suggested and to me that makes more sense as the answer to Paul’s hint. I guess we’ll know soon.
ooh no!! i’m a french guy from the 80’s, and Afl is definitely a cult tv show, everybody know it here..
Alf was cult in europe too
A.F.I. = April Fools Idiots !!
😆
Definitely my favorite band to come out for DLC in a long while, but I hope Ubi includes some pre-Sing The Sorrow material. And more horror-punk, too. Whose leg do I have to dry hump for some 45 Grave and Nekromantix?
Do you want to party? It’s partytime!
This has been a really shitty month. Matchbox 20 was alright but damn I can only justify it by thinking we’re getting a whole month of classic rock and 90s grunge coming up
What does AFI stand for? Apparently Fucking Inbred?
I think it stands for “Low Hanging Fruit”, but I never could spell.
I’m just thankful they are getting all the crap out of the way.
I think I’d rather play Disturbed than this.
A Fire Inside.
This band reminds me of the goth kids on South Park. I couldn’t help but laugh at the lyrics to dancing through the misery. Whiney depressed emo/goth/horror punk whatever you want to call bands like this are almost as bad as modern day country music.
Sorry but … Are you just ignorant … Or stupid? .. It’s a long time ago that i read such a foolish post.
No, he’s spot on.
What’s the difference between this band and A day to remember or whatever they were called?
Are people still doing that scenester emo hairdo? I thought everyone had dropped that by now.
April fools. AFI?
Looks like Ubi are on a long streak of very, very weak DLC’s. The last good one (and the last one i’ve bought) was The Doors DLC. Since then, boooring. Can we have good music back again, please ❓ They should add more from artists that had single DLC’s for RS2014 or/and on-disc artists from first Rocksmith.
Since when were Boston, Heart, Halestorm, Flyleaf, ADTR, Matchbox 20, and AFI bad?
Since time immemorial?
We’re supposed to trust the opinion of someone that skipped Boston?
The Doors DLC wasn’t all that long ago. I could maybe understand if the last decent DLC was a year ago, but a few weeks, no. Try to be happy for the people that likes the DLC that comes out instead, after all, there are other people than just you playing this game.
Yes, I know that some people might like this stuff, but since Ubi launched RS2014 there were some good, or even brilliant DLCs every two-three weeks (the “starters” were mostly brilliant, then Pumpkins, Radiohead, The Who, Muse, Aerosmith, Oasis, R.E.M. and The Doors), but 5 weeks of nothing interesting is a bit worrying. And yes, I skipped Boston, because they’re very average, if not bad. Many other bands playing similar stuff does it a lot better. And the DLCs after Boston…. well, you know my opinion.
Tell you something … The last really shit for me was Doors
… Maybe you should take your guitar and play some blues you crybaby … “I feel so down babe, because all I have is the Doors … Rocksmith takes me down … Cry baby cry”
Still it’s a lot better than that emo crap on the top of the page 😀
I cringe so much every time someone calls this band or ADTR or anything emo. Bad and whiny does not mean emo. Listen to some Braid, The Promise Ring, Cap’n Jazz, etc. and you will have some idea of what actual emo sounds like.
Thank god. I thought I was the only one.
