Speculation: Rocksmith is getting some love next week

Sesame Street Love

Greetings Rocksmith fans!

It’s Friday again, so you all know exactly what that means. However, unlike most of Dan’s DLC clues, the answer to this one was decidedly vague as to what artists/songs it could be referring to:

A three-pack containing songs from different artists, the one thing linking all of them is that each has the word “Love” in the title. Well, that’s really specific, it’s not like there are thousands upon thousands of songs that could fit that description or anything…

Update:

So what could we expect next Tuesday? To give a basic idea, here are three semi-realistic picks from each of TRR’s editors. Bear in mind that some artists are highly unlikely to make it into the game at all, so be realistic with your predictions!

Daniel’s Picks:

The Who: Love Reign O’er Me

A frantic, folk-y acoustic guitar part, a nice lead guitar, and if you take the time to really listen, a varied Entwistle-y bass guitar line. Plus, it’s about time we got some more of The Who in the game anyway.

Aerosmith: Love in an Elevator

Come on, admit it, you all know you love this song. Plus, dat solo doe…

Stevie Ray Vaughan: Love Struck Baby

Or they’ll just hold this song for that long-awaited full DLC pack SRV deserves.

Oscar’s Picks:

Heart – All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You

Heart have a couple good songs in the Rocksmith platform already, but they’re one of the greatest female-led bands of all time, so the more the better in my opinion! This track has been one of my most requested songs in any rhythm game, so hopefully we finally see it!

The J. Geils Band – Love Stinks

How have we never gotten this classic before? Rock Band and Guitar Hero have both gotten Freeze Frame, and Rock Band also got Centerfold, but this song has never shown up in any game! I say the time to end that is now, because forget love, not having this song is what REALLY stinks!

Jefferson Airplane – Somebody to Love

Music from the 60s in general is woefully under-represented in games. Most of the time it’s due to a lack of master, but Rocksmith doesn’t have that issue. While this song has appeared in Rock Band, it’s never been playable on a real guitar! Jefferson Airplane are a legendary band that could easily fill up a 12 pack, but one song is better than nothing, and this would definitely be an absolute cracker to introduce them to the platform with!

Ted’s Picks:

Huey Lewis and the News – The Power of Love

Sure, we may be under-represented in music from the 60s but why are you overlooking the lacking and forgotten “Songs from Back to the Future” genre? My reasoning for this song, other than being a wicked awesome guitar song with a great solo, is that it was featured on disc for Rock Band 3 and was one of my most played Pro Guitar tracks. Maybe someone at Ubisoft knew this?

The Cure – Friday I’m In Love

I don’t care if Monday is blue really. Or if Tuesday’s grey (Wednesday too). Thursday is the day I don’t care about you lot cause Friday I’m waiting for Dan to hint that this chart-topping worldwide hit is finally going to be in the game. We definitely need an upbeat song to counteract all that blood rain and masks made of skin we had last week with Slayer.

Confirmed!

The Ohio Players – Love Rollercoaster

Another alumni from the School of Rock Band 3 Pro Guitar Songs, this features an instantly recognisable riff that is played up and down the neck. Repetitive? Hell no, it’s funk!

Elliott’s Picks

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts “I Love Rock & Roll”

A long overdue penultimate female led rock anthem. Beginner friendly and iconic enough to even have the most jaded metal fans accept it’s inclusion. Previously included with Pro Guitar in Rock Band 3 if you are interested in what it might play like.

Pat Benatar “Love is a Battlefield”

“We are young, heartache to heartacheee” we already have Hit Me With Your Best Shot so we might as well add another Benatar track to the library. Round off the pack with Hell is For Children when the opportunity presents itself Ubi. Also the song has a great bass line and yes there is a bit of guitar happening in the mix.

Golden Earring “Radar Love”

Not the White Lion version sorry.

Did you know there are 90 songs in Rock Band alone that have “love” in the title?

What songs would you want in this lovely three pack? Let us know!

  1. Ok, so we have “Friday I’m in Love” and “Love in an Elevator,” which means the third song will have something liked “loved,” “lovely,” etc in it. Hmm…

    1. Where did you hear that “Love in an Elevator” was one of the songs? I thought only Friday I’m in Love was confirmed thus far.

      1. Elliott’s link earlier a few posts below was to that song, and it said confirmed under it. The video seems to be for The Cure now. Hmm.

        1. Probably a browser glitch. Occasionally, when not given enough time to load, the page will misplace videos.

      2. All I can say is “Friday, I’ll have $2.99 in my pocket I can use to download a better song with”.

        Seriously though, and of the Bad Company songs with “love” in the title would be awesome. Love Me Two Times is fun on acoustic and I’m guessing it would be little more straightforward to play than the other Doors dlc.

        What about Def Leppard’s Love Bites or for us over-30 Canucks, Love Is by Alannah Myles?

  2. Happy Memorial Day …. To all of you that have served and to those that have paid the ultimate price so we can live our lives with freedom .. I thank you

    1. Mahalo and a belated Happy Memorial Day to the family members and American public who have provided such overwhelming support to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines. You all deserve respect and praise as well.

      🙂

  6. I don’t expect any of these this week, but I just realized this could be a Queen 3 pack that actually is full of hits:

    Somebody to Love
    Crazy Little Thing Called Love
    Love of My Life

    Based on that latest update, I don’t know if even our most likely guesses to this point are reasonably good or not :/

    1. So my three guesses are:

      “Crimson and Clover” by Tommy James and the Shondells
      “Too Fast for Love” by Motley Crue
      “Love Gun” by Kiss

  7. Hey guys I know I’m just starting out on this game but rocksmith is missing a huge dose of REMEDY!!…. Where are the BLACK CROWS???

  8. Who do you love? By Bo Diddley.
    Love is strong. By the Rolling Stones.
    Misfit love. By QOTSA.

  9. Wow, you all are really getting into some stuff here. Ray Parker Jr., Captain and Tenelle, The O’Jays? Glad to see there are some open minded folks out there. Okay how about this:

    Your Love – The Outfield

    California Love(remix) – 2Pac feat Dr. Dre

    Could You Be Loved – Bob Marley and the Wailers

    All Your Love – John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers feat Eric Clapton

    Come Over Love – Anuhea (<–not sure if y'all know about that one)

    City Love – John Mayer

  10. I’m hoping for:
    The Rolling Stones – Love Is Strong
    Golden Earring – Radar Love
    Aerosmith – Love In a Elevator

  11. How about: Think I’m In Love by Eddie Money. If You Want My Love by Cheap Trick. Cradle Of Love, Billy Idol. Or To Be a Lover. I just Want To Make Love To You, Foghat. Who Do You Love, George Thorogood. Lovedrive, Scorpions. Jungle Love, Steve Miller. Just a few different thoughts

  12. I hope it is.

    I Love Rock And Roll
    The Power Of Love
    Radar Love – the White Lion one as the original is to slow and does not feel exciting.

  13. Nazereth–Love Hurts
    O’Jays –Love Train
    Ray Parker Jr.–(You’re the only one I love, and) You Can’t Change That

  14. If ANY of the songs happen to be Love By Captain and Tennille or Love Is by Andy Gibb, I’m breaking my guitars and going harmonica!

  15. europe – Love Chaser
    boston – Can’tcha Say (You Believe in Me): Still in Love — could be fun
    blue öyster cult – This Ain’t The Summer Of Love
    boston – i need youyr love
    bryan adams – its only love
    def leppasrd – love and affection or too late for love
    flock of seagull – space age love song
    honeymoon suite _ Burning in love — wish for the solo , but ill learn it by myself
    journey – Stone in love — this one could be fun for guitar lead
    judas priest – turbo lover
    kiss – do you love me
    loverboy – aint looking for love
    scorpions – believe in love or Rythym of love – Rythym could be nice for guitar
    whitesnake – give me all your love , guilty of love

    just make a few of my album some of them could be nice but onlu in dream

  16. I feel like “Friday I’m in Love” is a safe bet. I seem to recall Paul (or Dan… Or Someone) saying, when Rocksmith 2014 was released, that part of the reason custom tunings were added to the game was to include “Friday I’m in Love”… Lock it in!

      1. …and i’d be pretty disappointed of CoCa didn’t get their own 3 pack at the very least.

  17. I would say The Cure is a good guess.

    I’m personally hoping for Weight of Love by The Black Keys. Has two awesome guitar solos and pretty sweet bass riffs.

  18. Hell yes, Love Gun by Kiss! Calling Dr. Love, I Love it Loud

    Nobody to Love – Josh Homme
    Accidentally in Love – Counting Crows
    Too Fast for Love – Motley Crue
    Love you madly – Cake
    Easy Lover – Phil Collins
    Love Train – Wolfmother
    Noone loves me & neither do I – Them Crooked Vultures

  19. LOVE Removal Machine – Cult
    LOVE Gun – KISS
    Stone in LOVE – Journey

    I’m not greedy… one out of three will suffice…

  20. What I would like to see:
    Still Loving You – The Scorpions
    Stone in Love – Journey
    Heard it in a Love Song – Marshall Tucker Band (Flute Solo!)

    My Actual Guess:
    I Love Rock & Roll – Joan Jett And The Blackhearts
    Love Rollercoaster – Ohio Players
    Radar Love – Golden Earring

    What it will probably end up being:
    Making Love out of Nothing at All – Air Supply
    Love Me – Justin Bieber
    Tonight I Celebrate My Love – Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack

  21. Love will tear us apart – Joy Division
    Love, reign ‘oer me – The Who
    Interstate Love song – Stone Temple Pilots
    Also:
    Whole Lotta Love – Led Zeppelin (Not many chances, though Jimmy has gotten a little better with games)
    I love rock ‘n’ roll – Joan Jett
    Friday, i’m in love – The Cure (it’s this or Love will tear us apart)
    Love in an Elevator- Aerosmith
    Somebody to love – Jefferson airplane (Rocksmith needs more psychedelic)

  22. In order, I’d prefer:

    Golden Earring – Radar Love
    The Cure – Friday I’m In Love
    Joan Jett & The Blackhearts – I Love Rock & Roll

    Though, I’d also be cool with “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “I Love Rocky Road”, complete with tabbed out accordion solo. “Aw, make it talk!”

    1. Damn, with as much reggae as I’ve requested, I should kick myself for not being the first to write that one on here.

      YES!!!!!!!!!!

      ONE LOVE.
      Could You Be Loved

      My God, I’ve got to take some time off.

  23. Seriously though, it’s almost asinine that that Joan Jett track has yet to make it as a Rocksmith song. Some songs are just gimmies. Smoke on the Water, Wild Thing, Born to Be Wild, and I Love Rock n Roll.

    Ask anyone, “Hey they don’t have I Love Rock N Roll on there.”
    Response (scratching your head): “Wha…… really?”

    Aerosmith’s Love In An Elevator is due and it’s about time we see some STP. Interstate Love Song would be my first pick from them, but it would be nice to at least see them show up to the party. Lastly, it is about time we see some Huey Lewis and the News. I agree with y’all on that Power of Love

    1. Sorry, one more. Bout time for these guys as well.

      Gimmie All Your Lovin’

      Anybody know who that lil’ old band is?

    2. My response is always THANK GOD! I bloody hate that song. I don’t care if I’m the only person in the world, I truly hate it.

  24. Whole Lotta Love
    Ain’t Talking ’bout Love
    Let Me Put My Love Into You
    🙂

    I can dream can’t I?

  25. Love & Meth – Korn
    Interstate Love Song – Stone Temple Pilots
    Love in an Elevator – Aerosmith

    even though Korn and STP deserve five packs themselves

  26. Still Loving You – Scorpions, would rule
    Love in an Elevator – Aerosmith, would be great for the bass line among other things
    Love Spreads – The Stone Roses, would be a fantastic jam

  27. Okay, totally improbable, but my wish-list fantasy would be:

    Led Zeppelin – Whole Lotta Love
    Van Halen – Why Can’t This Be Love
    Journey – Stone in Love

    My somewhat more plausible wishlist:
    Def Leppard – Love Bites
    Night Ranger – Don’t Tell Me You Love Me
    Robert Palmer – Addicted to Love.

    I’d be happy with I Love Rock & Roll, Love Stinks, or The Power of Love, too. 🙂

  28. Queen – Somebody to Love
    Aerosmith – Love in a Elevator
    Van Halen – Feel Your Love Tonight

    1. Fancy swapping Somebody to Love with Crazy Little Thing Called Love? Both great songs but dat killer solo on Crazy

        1. They could pull a HMX and chart the piano chords to guitar. Either that or wait 1m40s for the guitar to start! I’m sure I’ve waited longer on bass before mind you.

  29. Lenny Kravitz – Let Love Rule
    Aerosmith – Love in an Elevator
    The Cure – Friday I’m in Love
