Welcome Rocksmith fans!
Next Tuesday will be another somewhat historic release for Ubisoft as they become the first music game to license not one, but FIVE songs from Toronto (Mississauga) melodic “punk” rock band, Billy Talent!
Back in 2009 singer, Ben Kowalewicz did an interview regarding the special edition of their album Billy Talent III. The main point of mentioning this, is the addition of an extra disc containing the guitar track removed from the songs and included tablature for all the tracks!
For an extra $10 or so, fans can pick up the deluxe version which includes a second disc of the album’s 11 songs stripped of guitars and the notes for all the tracks, so budding musicians can play along and try to match guitarist Ian D’Sa riff for riff.

This was actually believed to be some starch evidence towards why neither Guitar Hero or Rock Band were able to license music from the Canadian quartet.
Anyway, yesterday @DanAmrich as always had a puzzle for us, not too hard this time but fun all the same.
A scene from Hardcore Logo which featured a band named… Billy Tallent (get it because it’s mispelle- yeahhh).
That’s an abridged version but check out the forum for Dan’s explanation.
Now which songs would you expect to be included? Well here’s our picks:
A fantastic No Quarter rip off
Their breakthrough hit
dat intro riff
🙁
Are you excited for the debut of Billy Talent? Are you still trying to figure out why anyone would sing like that? Let us know!
hmmm. Kinda poppy bubblegum punk, but definitely better than that Sum 41 garbage from a few weeks ago.
Jared MacLean We're more trustworthy than Fox News.
didnt we just get this band a few weeks ago oh yeah that was sum 41 , not one to complain but seriously some one who grew up on op ivy (ska punk) black flag and the misfits( hardcore punk ))and other real punk bands this so called punk music really does nothing for me and i agree with most here the voice has to go worse then the sing from a7x
Never heard of them, listened to the you tube videos… all seems to be just missing "something". I'm listening thinking yeah this is alright actually…*seconds pass*…oh. Its just a bit flat, pass from me this week
Elliott Rudner I come to these articles for unbiased predictions I can bank on. Not editorial lies!
Not going to lie, not really into that song
No Devil in the Midnight Mass? Do you even speculate?…
ohhhhh. I do like me some Billy talent. Devil in the Midnight Mass and the ex will make this a must buy for me
Would just like to say that you should really listen to these songs before you completely dismiss them. Ian D'Sa is a talented dude who I seem to see at 3 shows a month (so he has good taste!)
The guitar sounds solid to me.
Well, duh! It is a solid-body. What did you expect?
The best part about his voice is it doesn’t sound like Chad Kroeger’s. I hope they include “Surrender”. So what do the poutine people do on Canada Day, anyway? Celebrate their Independen….er, never mind.
Neil young would be more appropriate for canada day…
Request it!
Also, he was rumoured to be in RS1 😥
For an added Canada Day Bonus would love to see
Coney Hatch
Max Webster/Kim Mitchell
Platinum Blonde
!!!!
If they really wanted to represent the Canadian punk scene they should have gone after some Propaghandi (not that Propaghandi would ever appear in some machination of corporate overlords brainwashing kids into … uh … fighting wars … or something? Boy that one really got away from me there!).
But seriously. Propaghandi.
Recently ubi SF announced they was working on a new IP. The studios being pretty small i wonder if that mean the death of rocksmith… I hope not. It. Such a awesome game
Yayyyyyyyy
Metallica DLC would sell loads
It’s not happening.
Dreaming is free 😉
Just another useless DLC.
Blame Canada!
the band isnt bad but the singer kind of sucks i still might pick it up though
