Hello Rocksmith fans!
Another month and yet another newsletter tease at what’s to come!
Arrival of EVEN MORE ROYALTY
You can’t fool us Dan, we know it’s @QoTSA, and if it’s not then I guess the back up might be @royalblooduk (Paul’s been talking about them) or @KingsOfLeon.
See.
Something monstrous
So my first bet was maybe @Slipknot being a remaining Top 40 Request, but that got me to thinking about other “monstrous” bands we are lacking DLC from like White Zombie and Alice Cooper…
a few classic slices of Americana
This will probably end up being a mixed singles pack but who is more Americana then Bruce Springsteen?
Yes, it’s definitely possible to license The Boss…
two unusual animals (two weeks of DLC?)
is it two different animals? In any event I am pretty confident that Monkeys that live in The Arctic are pretty unusual but so is a Leopard that is Deaf I suppose…
I’m really cursing myself by speculating Def Leppard aren’t I?
Of course those are just my guesses. What do you think is coming this June? Come back tomorrow for next week’s DLC clue!
Let me think. What are some notable Rob Zombie songs.
Dragula
Superbeast
Living Dead Girl
American Witch
Meet the Creeper
House of 1000 Corpses
The Devil’s Rejects
Hmmmm, I wonder what the monster pack could possibly be…
MAKE IT KINGS OF LEON PLEASE
@chloe…steel panther would be awesome!
June, mmmmmm I’m thinking un school out summer by alice cooper.
Surprised no one has mentioned Monster Truck with Sweet Mountain River already being in the main game.
good point
Something Monstrous = GWAR?
Wow, I hope so!!!
maybe Bob Dylan for Americana, but Chet Atkins would be nice too (make my day anyway). BB King seems like a must, though. Arctic Monkeys makes sense those songs will certainly sell. Rob Zombie or Vampire Weekend seem like natural fits to songs already in the mix
Im thinking Pixies pack with the Pixies- Gigantic , for something monstrous but then again I guess ive been hopeful for a Pixies pack for quite some time. More Violent Femmes – American Music ? for the slice of Americana.
White snake is an unusual animal…on a side note how about some Mushroomhead…
Manson has a new album out and can be considered monstrous. Slipknot is a solid guess as well. Don McClean American Pie is the first thing I think of with a Slice of Americanna
Monster magnet, don McLean, arctic monkeys
Arctic Monkeys 5 pack
Mardy Bum
A Certain Romance
Flourescent Adolescent
Crying Lightning
Black Treacle
Hopefully “Something monstrous” is hinting at a possible Slipknot DLC pack since they are quite a monstrous band.
Could be beach boys
Eagles of Death Metal?
Eels?
STEEL PANTHER
White Lion? Or perhaps Iron Butterfly?
Oh, that explains it. It seems like I’ve been hearing American pie on the radio often and on different stations.
…a SLICE of Americana? I’ll have to think on that for a while… Oh, hey a bit off topic, but did anybody else notice that Don McLean sold one of his manuscripts a few months back? What was that song called again?
A month that has Kings of Leon AND Arctic Monkeys DLC would be my dream month.
Sorry, I can’t let this pass. Last month we lost our last living connection to the roots of the Blues.
At this point, it would feel almost like an insult to include any royalty other than Mr. Riley B. King.
Campfire songs would be awesome.
Royalty = Solved by QotSA
Something monstrous = Probably a heavy metal artist. We have been getting at least one heavy metal band every month.
A slice of Americana = Mixed pack of “Americana” artists. Could be something classic rock or could be something modern or maybe a mix of both.
Two unusual animals = We are getting five DLCs this month, so I will say Arctic Monkeys and Def Leppard are going to be the two unusual animals.
I agree with you on that Def Leppard. Sounds like an unusual animal to me. I’m thinking the Americana might be John Cougar/John Mellencamp/John Cougar Mellencamp. (not sure which one to use)
Sooo… Your big insight and depth adding contribution to this article and discussion is you completely agree with the author and have nothing original to add?
In other words don’t get my hope up for anything good…. The boss would be sweet!!..but don’t think that will happen either
A few other ideas:
“Something Monstrous” could refer to Vampire Weekend
“Unusual Animals” could be Them Crooked Vultures or Toad the Wet Sprocket, or maybe The Dodos
Royal Blood wouldn’t be surprising as I believe one of their tracks was recently announced for Guitar Hero Live.
I think you nailed it with the Dodos. Haven’t had an indie band for a while.
Monster Magnet, Kix, and King Diamond!
How is the band Kix related to any of these clues?
It isn’t. Did I break some sort of unwritten rule?
No but I’m fairly certain all June DLC will fall within the clues…
I hope it’s Royal Thunder and not Royal Blood.
+1
although i’m sure it was a hint at the QoTSA pack that we just got.
