Speculation: Rocksmith Newsletter hints at August DLC

Hello Rocksmith fans!

Looks like the newsletter has been mailed out which means we have a chance to predict what August has in store for us!

Ok, so we can take care of one of these…

A very potent potable!

That is definitely referring to Tequila by The Champs!

Some music from Manchester

This one is a bit tricky, there are many possibilities but I am going to go with a pack from The Smiths.

Of course it could also be Joy Division or New Order, or it may even be a mixed pack… Speculation gone wild!

Or perhaps it’s a band that @CrossieRS has been trying to get for awhile now…

Or maybe @UbisoftStudioSF read my article?

 

Something autobiographical

This is my best guess for this one, and I hope I’m right

Many of @NineInchNails’ songs are from the first person so I think it isn’t that farfetched. Of course it could also easily be Sex Pistols with Anarchy In the UK or even Don McLean’s American Pie!

Of course there are just our predictions… What do you think @DanAmrich is hinting at? Let us know!

  1. Okay so in light of this weekend’s theatrical release, the first thing that comes to mind for autobiographical is “Let Me Ride” by Dr. Dre

    Going in a completely different direction No Woman No Cry would be nice as well.

    Yeah i know, keep dreaming.

  2. Is The Cult from Manchester? I’m too lazy to look it up but would be an awesome DLC pack

    Van Morrison had autobiographical songs like brown eyed girl & and it stoned me but I’m thinking more along the lines of a Jimmy Buffett with margaritaville and come Monday etc…

    When doves cry by Prince would be awesome

  3. I just want one solid month of music that has been released in this decade. I don’t understand why they have completely abandoned new music

    1. Variety in decades is important, that’s why we won’t get a full month of 2010’s. Last month had 4 songs from this decade which is a reasonable (all of the Volbeat pack except Still Counting). June had 1 (I Appear Missing), March had 1 (Becoming a Jackal), January had 1 (Guilty All the Same). For a franchise that started 4 years after Rock Band, you should be happy that we have this much 2010’s!

  4. Upon that video reminding me of Brand New Sin, I played the couple albums I had and had to put a formal request in for them. You can get a 3 pk easy from “Recipe for Disaster” album. Awesome southern rock bar band type. Like Molly Hatchet kicked up a few notches.

  5. Am I the only one that got excited when they saw Brand New Sin’s “Tequila” album as the first vid. There are some great songs on that album, have to say got my hopes up thinking it was to good to be true. Ah well….

  6. I hope these speculations are wrong, I mean NIN is to me is one of those bands that is fun to listen to but a snoozefest to play, and the smiths are not exactly known for being guitar virtuoso’s either, I have not been challenged on guitar since the primus pack. I hope ubisoft picks some bands with more challenging guitar lines. there is plenty of beginner/campfire chord songs already.

      1. Its been over month since then, That’s too long of a wait for some great dlc, we have only had decent at best since the skynrd pack and i’m looking for all that remains/cliffs of dover difficulty. The lynyrd skynrd pack was alright in my opinion but they botched the song picks by putting in gimme three steps (probably the worst skynyrd song period) and the breeze. They should have put in the needle and the spoon and that smell instead, or made a 5 pack.

  7. My guess for “autobiographical” is The Story of My Life by either Marty Robbins or Michael Holliday. I’m leaning more towards the Michael Holliday version though. Perhaps a leftover song from the 50’s pack?

  8. A pretty slim chance unfortunately 🙁 They are currently fighting for the rights of their old songs, hence why they are re-releasing/re-recording them and why we had the 2012 version of ‘Pour some sugar on me’.

  9. Could Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean be possible for Rocksmith to license? It’s based off of Michael’s encounter with a crazy fan.

  10. Saw Morrissey a couple weeks ago. Smiths would be fun. For autobiographical, I’m thinking Talking Heads here (perhaps due to Smiths).

    Either way, it should be interesting.

  11. cant see it being the smiths with their court battles over money hoping for a stone roses 5 pack.

    made of stone
    waterfall
    i wanna be adored
    she bangs the drums
    i am the resurrection

    I’d buy that instantly… well as fast as it came to eu psn…

  12. Something autobiographical? How about Marillion, especially the Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws albums. Lots if good material from those albums.

  13. If it’s the Smiths, I hope they include Ask. I’ve always liked that song. Speculating is pointless though. There isn’t enough information to have a real guess of the DLC.

  14. Nine inch nails??.. Do they even use a guitar??…. Another over rated group… I guess that’s the norm for ubisoft .. Can’t score with the big boys so let’s go for 3rd and 4th tier bands.

    1. Well, that’s just my prediction. It’s probably not Nine Inch Nails, and yes they do use guitars for the record. Robin Finck is in their band. Anyway, what do YOU think the hints mean?

      1. Right NIN over rated how about Trent is a musical genius and you are lucky to breathe the same air as he does.

      2. For Manchester it’s Kings of Leon, and for the autobiographical one it might just be Kings of Leon

        1. if there s more king of leon i think i ll throw up so badly that im gonna die doing so i hope not beside the facebook responce for diary of a madman would be orgasmic for some Randy Rhoads but good guitarist doesnt go on rocksmith or if yes it isnt not hte best song that s gonna go on so ill be happy because i dont know any Randy Rhoads song that suck beside one or two on the first 2 quiet riot album and by sucking i mean beating king of leon by a thousand million , billion , trillion ,giga mega ultra fuckin million of miles i hope you understand ! …. king of leon makes me think of kindergarden kids playing music i know im gonna gets some of their fans on my back but telling the truth always hurt that i know 🙂

          1. gods knows i hate poor guitar or band playing like she-it seriously im a right handed guitarist ill start playing left handed and in 1 month i thinkj i could do better than any of their song even in their style if im not liking it , theres no guitar , aww yes theres someone pretending to play it while theres is someone singing , its only a image of someone singing for the taste of the day and when that taste is gone bye bye ( im so happy since i cant hear them on my local station , but nowaday only shit pouring my ears on local station , and this year i discover satelitte radio … Thank god for creating the person that invented that i would cherish him for life , now i can listen to the kind of music that i want when i feel like… yes i know theres some song that i dislike but it still way better than nowaday muysic going on fm tune ) beside you can think of alien , barabas , judas ,mohammed , bouddha any f – word one … the one who created that persone whoever he is

            now i feel good…sadly not that much i wish i could feel better by listening to simple radio and hearing good music but i think i ll never get that feeling again , it dissapear an will never come back ( when i hear 2 or more song that i like… no 1 song or more that i like in a row i jizz like for an hour in my pant even if the song ended ( i sing it in my head while she-it keeps on turning ) and that make my day , and if it doesnt happen ill take my good old CD with me and that is making me a good day , but if i hear king of leon on rocksmith before alot , i mean alot(s) of other artist that i like i think my feeling for rocksmith will be hurt like never before

            thank you for your time wasted if you hate this comment and love kings of leon , i know i didnt wirte with the s , but i dont give a she-it 🙂 im playing guitar not peanis , i know youll think it might sound childish but i take word that anyone would understand . it s very therapeutic writting she-it about kings of leon i think
            you should try , so every one have a nice day and im hoping for some guitar lead , because that game name is rocksmith not rockband , not basssmith , not singersmith , nor drumsmith , even if i like some song with drum or bass or a good singer , im here too play guitar and if playing with myself bring me a bigger challenge i might be dissapointed a bit , i hope you creator understand that! .So againg every one have a nice day

            ps( i know i write shit , she-it just in case that words is banned hope youll understand that word brings a bigger feeling and meaning to my sentence , with all my sincerest love Maxime Côté ! )

              1. dont be wrong id like to have some of the smith some nin but kings of leon i really cant stand , beside that s an opinion , it aint a gods secret i hate them , they may be nice guys to talk to but for musicid like to listen a donkey fart for an hour and id find it way more compelling in terms of musicality…..

                i hope you ll know this is a joke lol 🙂 ( but in every says there s some verity , for my opinion not the general or everyone opinion , beside i love drum and bass its just that they should create a game with those instrument or just put more song to equal or having a better diversity , i know they can , it might be because its a bit of more works and they might make less money with the choice they make , its better to take artist that one hit and top 40 radio or took artist that their name has been said a hundred thousand of times and the request ( and that means that everyone want them..!! i cant believe they still work like that ) or simply take a flavour of the week band , or flavor of the year take it anyway you want , if that game would have been in 70-80 i wouldnt complain there plenty of guitar that look awesome to play , its a game an arcade played on console or pc……

              2. I tough i d wrote another paragraph but i think it dissapear so i cant share my opinion , it its because shes not the way you want it for hér to be , i hope that was my Internet lagging but im sûre it aint

                  1. Because they feared of something that exist and if ppl knew about theyll make less money? , just do whats right and you wont loose money 🙂

    2. …if only they would finally put out that Wilson Phillips pack that you seem to keep waiting for. Maybe you should find another message board to be a loser on until it happens.

    3. PJ-10??.. Does he even use his brain??…. Another annoying commenter… I guess that’s the norm for TRR .. Can’t score witht the big boys so let’s go for 3rd and 4th tier commenters.

    4. Yeah. They do use a guitar. Look at pretty much any concert photo. I should have stopped reading after that because the rest of your statement went from ignorance right into garbage.

    1. Could be either Slipknot or Stone Sour since corey taylor who is the vocalist in both bands has recently released an autobiography.

  15. Anything from the Smiths, Joy Division or New Order would be epic. So it’s probably Stone Roses, although I am guessing Stone Roses isn’t something I would hate. I had just never heard of them before.

    Thinking “something autobiographical” refers to an artist who writes about their own life experiences means it could be NIN, or pretty much anybody else. Social Distortion is the more obvious choice.

  16. The Smiths would make my year. The riffs from This Charming Man, There is a Light that Never Goes out and Sweet and Tender Hooligan etc etc would keep me locked in a room practicing and playing for a long time., Unfortunately, I think getting some permissions might be nigh impossible (a certain vainglorious frontman comes to mind). So it’s more likely the Stone Roses. I am hoping against all odds its the Smiths, though.

  17. It could be a mixed pack of Manchester bands, because the clue says “some music from Manchester” but I’m leaning towards The Stone Roses. Their songs are perfect for this game.

    As far as something autobiographical, does Nirvana’s Serve the Servants count? There are a ton of autobiographical songs out there, that this one is really hard to nail down.

  18. Dear God please no American pie, I can’t imagine anyone on this planet could say they haven’t heard that song too much… Bring on the NIN though that would be great

  19. I never realized that NIN songs were in 1st person. I saw someone say Story of My Life by Social Distortion which could make sense for autobiographical.

    As for Manchester, I will stick with The Stone Roses.

  20. I made my first requests about a month ago: “Cermony” and “Dreams Never End” by New Order and “Spank Thru” by Nirvana. If we do get New Order, I’ll be totally stoked!

    1. Just googled “Manchester rock bands” and it turns out there’s a crap load of great bands so I’ll be looking forward to see what we get.
