Another week, another crazy hint from Dan!
This picture was posted in segmented parts at first
Once assembled it became what you see below. There were a bunch of theories tossed out. Was it soundwaves? An Oscillator? Or was it an ancient language? In the end it turned out to be The Mesa Polyglot Alphabet.
Translated line by line we decoded this beautiful poem(?)
Lo’ for these are the trials three
the stench of the square (s) even
A disappearance and an eclipse
A farewell lullaby from Nancy
On the day of our brother’s passing
First, let’s look at the two songs that are practically confirmed for next week:
James Gang – Funk #49
Let’s look at the first part of this translated hint:
the stench of the square (s) even
7 squared is 49 right?
When I was looking through the speculation threads, I was surprised to find out this WASN’T in Rocksmith already! It’s such a perfect fit for the game, and it’s great that it looks like it’s finally going to come!
Bill Withers – Ain’t No Sunshine
A disappearance and an eclipse
One might say that thanks to this eclipse, there ain’t no sunshine… I’m very sorry.
We go from a song that I thought was already IN the game to a song I never expected to see in a game. Soul is definitely a genre that could use some more representation in Rocksmith (if you haven’t, you should pick up Soul Hits 1), so it’s great to see more of it appear.
The third song, was much trickier
A farewell lullaby from Nancy
On the day of our brother’s passing
At first we thought it was Heart via Nancy Wilson. Nah, too obvious for @DanAmrich, kidmeatball on the Ubisoft Forums nailed it!
“Correct! This is the Nancy reference; Roy Buchanan’s Telecaster was nicknamed Nancy. The “farewell” referred to the fact that “Sweet Dreams” was used twice — and Roy’s version over the end credits — of the movie The Departed.”
Are you glad to see more 70s music, or would you rather have something else? Let us know!
its obvious Tina …………C.an't U.nderstand N.ormal T.hinking
Looking forward to trying these out! Still hoping for a sublime 5 pack in the near future!!
The person who screams the loudest about their "Wonderful perfect live" usually has the shittiest one. It's okay, we all know what a hateful bitch you are, you can stop showing it to the world how much better you believe you are than the rest of us. As a human being you are bottom of the barrel, just trying to make yourself feel better about your disgusting personality by insulting others. I pity you. And that's the last I'll say on the subject. Have a great day. Hopefully no one will piss in your cornflakes tomorrow.
i love all the hater comments nice to see how many losers there are that read this makes me laugh i will make sure to keep it up low life losers sorry i have a career and you guys just have your little guitars no band no contracts and no life awwww LOL fucking losers
must have a lot to hide with that fake kitty picture aside from you being the asshole what else are you? hmm maybe the local pd have something on you have to hide LOSER GET A LIFE
Breaking form and using my FB… like or loath the dlc choices variety is GOOD. gets your fingers working and shakes things up a bit. musically its not my cup of tea but ill still probably pick at least one of them up
Just your opinion. Just like assholes everyone has one and they all stink.
Horse shit are o.k. I prefer their early e.ps before they got too mainstream.
The great thing about Rocksmith is it’s diversity in music. I can’t believe people complain about the dlc. I’ve downloaded every song/pack this far and I will definitely be picking these up (no where near playing them all yet lol). I’ve enjoyed learning songs that I wouldn’t otherwise normally listen to in my leisure and it’s opened up and expanded my appreciation for numerous musical artists and genres.
Well la-de-da, good for you 🙄 I wouldn’t buy this shit if you put a gun to my head.
A must-buy for me. 😎
This was the kind of music playing on “classic rock” stations I listened to as a teenager. Funk #49 kinda defines that early 70s rock guitar sound for me.
Funk 49 is a definite for me. I’ve heard the song before but I never knew who played it it always reminded me of a Zeppelin type song.
Go to Youtube and do a search for daryl’s house and joe walsh, he does a newer version on there, Funk #51 I think. Also, look for their version of “someone like you” just for Joe’s solo, awesome.
Still waiting for some joe bonnamassa
Man, out of all of the music from the ’70s this is what they come up with. I can understand Funk 49 but the other two I just don’t get.
Unisoft needs to start putting out some money to get actual rock bands that people know. I’m sure Sweet Dreams had less than 10 votes in their app they push
A good part of the requestors are blues fans.
Understandable, but does Ain’t no sunshine stick out to you when you think ’70s blues guitar?
I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know.
Why do you think unless it’s a well known song it’s incapable of being DLC? That’s such a narrowminded and childish view. There’s tons of great, and fun to play music out there, barely heard by anybody, and to just write it off because it wasn’t marketed well is fucking idiotic.
Will we call this pack Blues Pack #2?
Really looking forward to “ain’t no sunshine’. Hopefully there will be more soul/funk to follow. A curtis mayfield pack would be amazing. He’s a really underrated guitarist and the basslines would probably be pretty challenging.
Yes please!
Good call! I’ll request 3 now…
Awesome pack, I pick funk 49 and sweet dreams
