Speculation: Rocksmith 2014 to get a second dose of 90s Rock

Well Rocksmith 2014 fans, it looks like this week will be our second mixed bag DLC since Female Lead Singles.

This week we have two hints from @UbisoftStudioSF AKA @DanAmrich!

I can’t take credit for this one at all. Chalupa Joe on SomethingAwful Forums instantly remembered that Spin Doctors Two Princes was featured in a car commercial for the Peugeot 307 with the tagline “Demands Attention”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSNVrKox53s  

Dude, not cool.

This is our best guess, but we could be completely wrong.

Whoops, we were…

Update: The third second hint for single #2 has been revealed!

Now I’m a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear, I’ll never let her know
All the pain I have known

Anyone else surprised it isn’t Santa Monica?

What other song would round out this release? Do you like this offering of 90s Hits better than the last one? Let us know!

old guy

Cumbersome in quotes huh? I’m ok with that one too.

jake

We need to get some “Black Stone Cherry” added to rocksmith

chris

Everclear that’s like 90s flashback to the extreme. I hope next few weeks seven Mary three,sponge candlebox, and crash test dummies

chris

Mmmm mmm mmm 😎

nullPointer

Oh no. Oh hell no. 😡

Third Song

Was ever clear the third song? I thought it was referencing the second clue “Oh Yea”

Third Song

I have a feeling this third one is going to be good 😀

Mike

We now have Facebook comments.

Haters Gonna Hate

Nice. So we’re looking at “Two Princes” by Spin Doctors (hey haters, check out the bass line) and “Father of Mine” by Everclear. I wonder what #3 will be!

Nickyguitar

Guys, let’s face it, bad news travels faster than good. People who are not happy with the dlc selection will complain faster than those who are happy and are downloading. I still think that it is brilliant that we are getting new songs on a regular basis and like most of you I check riff repeater on a daly basis. I’m writing this from the island of mykanos, Greece, after a shit load of drinks but I am still finding time to check into riff repeater. We have our own community, and that puts a smile on my face. Peace to all. Now what is the last song of the 3 pack?

“and I swear I’m not going to let her know”

Everclear – Father of Mine

Matthew

If we’re going for some 90s rock, why not something that is actually good?
Dinosaur Jr
Sonic Youth
(more) Chili Peppers
Faith No More

Spin Doctors? No thank you.

Haters Gonna Hate

You realize that “good” is subjective, right?

What you meant to say was “Wah, wah, wah, I only want things that I like. Boo hoo!”

Matthew

So, no opinions? Good to know. Maybe just remove the ability to comment?

dougybongy

you’re maybe right about haters, but i definitely agree with Matthew, cause either Dinosaur Jr, Sonic youth, RHCP, and faith no more would be ALL some better addition to rocksmith than the lasts weeks DLC…

Haters Gonna Hate

That’s not my point, though. The point is that instead of whining and complaining that you don’t like something and wish it was something else, maybe just don’t and be happy for someone who does think it’s “good.”

The complaining is not doing anything. If you want to be productive, go put in a request for those bands.

dougybongy

if you could find my past comments, you could see that i often say “i’m happy for those who waited for that band…etc etc” even if i don’t like the mentioned band, cause, yes, we need music for all tastes.
but, if Ubi tell me it’s a pack from 90’s alt/indie rock bands, i’m waiting for bands more exciting than the bands released this week..
so, yes maybe we can say i’m complaining..

and, i have been on the Ubi request page several times.. so i guess i’m productive.. 😛

Jeam95

Faith no more Will be awesome, including epic, So Dreaming is free :mrgreen:

Haters Gonna Hate

So, just throwing this out there:

I’ve been noticing a lot of people complaining about “DLC that nobody wants.” Well, did you stop to consider that maybe it is selling REALLY well? Perhaps the people that love it are buying it, playing it, and are happy? Maybe they aren’t wasting their time complaining on a forum about how sad, letdown, upset, [other first-world problems] they are?

If it’s selling, they aren’t doing anything wrong. Perhaps we could go for more variety, sure. However, if them making some extra money now on 90s rock, pop/rock, and alternative will yield bigger licenses in the future, I am all for the wait.

Just step back and put things in perspective. Is life really so bad that you need to spend all this time complaining? Why not take this for what it is: a fun game to learn and practice guitar/bass.

Joe Walsh once said, “I can’t complain but sometimes I still do; life’s been good to me so far.” Just think about it.

Maynard J Morrison

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Hater gonna hate on haters

Did you ever stop to consider that maybe these items do to sell that well but they are cheap to license? I would bet that Dylan might be the only artist in the top 20 most requested that we have seen in the past 2 months.

Hater gonna hate on haters

Don’t that is

old guy

Yes, Twice as Hard > Hard to Handle.

TheSern

I would love to see Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd make it in for the final song!

Haters Gonna Hate

Yes! I agree! That would be a ton of fun.

Terminus

That’s weird – I was just thinking about the Black Crowes for DLC, but I’d prefer “Twice As Hard” myself. “Hard To Handle” gets so much airplay on classic rock stations, it’s getting pedestrian. Spin Doctors? – nah.

Bat Wings

song #3
needs to be a crowd pleaser for a pack purchase

the 1st 2 are set list worthy for a lot of Bar Bands
as they can get the chic’s dancing

Jeam95

Well, for me a 90 pack would be perfect:

The black crows- Hard to handle.
Spin doctors- Two princess
Matchbook romance- Monster 😈 😈

Funn Dave

Hey Elliott, could you post that DIY capo video again?

Funn Dave

Thanks!!

TwoShay

I’m going to try this. I got a ‘high end’ capo, and I can’t get the @!#$% thing to work right. Sometimes going redneck is actually the best route.

Ben

Love the 90s offerings. I’m excited about this pack.

cyanfunk

Good to know that after nearly seven years of varied songs, the music game scene is still crying over not getting their favorite metal band.

ronny

face it people these music games all die quick because of situations like this there is no variety in this game for all people its only cheap junk that i could buy a license for.

ronny

BOYCOTT THIS WEEKS DLC STAND UP AND STOP BEING PUSSIES YOU LET CORPORATIONS TAKE OVER BY GIVING IN

Bob

You are so right … I already talked to all my neighbours … We will boycott this week DLC as long as you wish ronny … Your words touched my soul … You are such a prophet … I was always waiting for a leader like you … And please please … Tell me all your favourite bands .. I will pray for them. … Oh greatest ronny ever … Btw., are you ronny the monkey?

Bat Wings

^ +1

just because it’s 4/20 doesn’t mean you have to spark up all day Ronny..

your 1 small fish in a great big ocean

😯

Bob

… Its not metal …. 🙄

Funn Dave

I think generally people do implicitly boycott DLC they don’t like by not buying it. I know some people just buy everything, but I think most only buy songs they like or think are fun to play. Personally, besides the Dylan track pack (and, finally, the RS1 songs download), I haven’t bought any DLC in months.

Matthew

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum would be fantastic, one of the only bands of this type that I really like.

ronny

not a bad idea but since harmonix was never able to get the license for this band its not happening the band dosen’t own the right to that song

WonderWaage

Elliot please… Ronny with a lowercase r is obviously a business insider…

Really

Is anyone really surprised by the comments? We as consumers do our part by supporting the game, doesn’t seem like anyone at rocksmith has any concern about what we want.

At this point we will probably see a Savage Garden 5 pack

Really

Well played good sir! 😛

guest

No, because 20 complaining metalists does not grant you anything.

Believe me, I have my list of songs or even genres I want to play and I didn’t see shit from them yet and I’m not surprised. Stop complaining about ones that actually can be fun to play, there wasn’t much of them either.

Really

Why jump to the assumption that everyone is a metalist? I could care less if screaming metal comes, I just want something more recent from bands that have more of a catalog than one song.

Face it, the selection over the past few months has been week at best.

guest

Don’t get me started, there’s barely anything since Rocksmith 1 that I listen to. It still doesn’t bother me, there’s plenty in those ~300 songs that I still can’t play, I don’t need new stuff. You’re that good or you need some tips?

Really

Actually I’ve completed over 100% on every track from both games. But it’s not about learning for me, it’s about enjoying the experience.

I’m bored, and if I’m going to pay for more music I want it to be something I acutely enjoy listening to.

Really

I’ve only purchased songs from bands that I like.

Really

I’ve downloaded it, give me an hour or so

Bob

Waiting …. :mrgreen:

Mateo

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your SONG!

Crazedracer

I’mmmmmmmm gonna have to call BS on that statement… No videos at all and you expect us to believe that you have 100%+ in “Bat Country”, “Cemetery Gates” and “Satch Boogie”??? I don’t think so. Trollie Blowhard is your new name.

Really

So not having a YouTube channel means I can’t play? Noted 😉

Really

Crazedracer

OK… That’s respectable. 😉

I just don’t understand the people that get butthurt about the DLC. If you don’t like what Ubi puts out, don’t buy it. Save your DLC money and buy a tab book for the groups you want to learn and learn the songs. I haven’t bought any DLC in months, but I finally just decided to learn the music that I love outside of the game and found a really good site to do it with (and I actually learn the songs better, quicker and commit to memory faster than with RS, so that’s a bonus in and of itself).

Anyway – nice score on Cult of Personality…

Really

I think it just comes down to excitement. I’ve played for over 30 years now it this is way better than sitting down with a boring tab book. We are all just waiting for that special band that we hold close to our hearts to show up one week. But then it’s the spin doctors 😉

Jam Bone

Spin doctors? What about the toadies or something that actually rocks?

ronny

better than ezra is metal compared to spin doctors i’m with ya ditch the crap don’t download this week spread the word

Really

Am I missing something? I’ve never seen any better than Ezra tracks on rocksmith

James

Do NOT tease me with your Better Than Ezra talk. My all time favorite band, haters can say whatever they want about that. If even one BTE track makes it’s way onto Rocksmith, I’m gonna go buy another copy of the game just to stick under my pillow at night.

James

lol yes, one might say that indeed 😀

Crazedracer

Amen… I’d buy a Better Than Ezra pack in a heartbeat. Always wondered why they had a promotion like that with the group, but never added any of their songs…

Jeam95

This may be another possibility
