Greetings, Rocksmith fans!
Another month rolls by, and another newsletter teases what’s to come this month:
Nice typo, @DanAmrich. “…from of one of”
The arrival of royalty
This one’s easy
A five pack from one of our top 40 most requested artists
Going by the precedent established by Elliott in this article from November of last year, the most likely candidates for DLC from the list appear to be these:
- Def Leppard
- Dire Straits
- Mötley Crüe
- Nirvana
- Queens Of The Stone Age
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- The Rolling Stones
- Slayer
- Slipknot
- Stevie Ray Vaughan
- ZZ Top
That’s only if we ignore repeat artists, which some are certainly overdue for another pack by now.
So, Rocksmith fans, which artist do you think we’ll get this month? My guess is Dire Straits, going by Paul’s tweets from last year.
Have fun, and I’ll see you all again soon!
Here’s hoping for Dire Straits or ZZ Top. Money for Nothing or La Grange would be epic for Rocksmith.
Queensryche would rock just hoping Freddie king isn’t it after rereading the post…Elvis would need a mega pack.
Royalty pack… Kings of Leon .. Would be awesome!!
Peter frampton?
If we recive Peter Frampton, I hope Live version of Do you feel like we do 😉
I think you’re right about Dire Straits. As for royalty, He could only be talking about Prince, right?
The word “Arrival” indicates they haven’t arrived yet so are new to Rocksmith…
I think not because Prince said he hated technology.
He’s changed his tune recently

Why isn’t TOOL on the poll list?
Because they aren’t going to appear out of nowhere on a random week.
Do we need another slightly different 3 chord arrangement from green day? I mean really, might as well put in more oasis… Just as challenging
Hahaha! Kind of with you on this, but also we have to remember a lot of the people playing this are beginners, so there should be a decent amount of stuff that is barely anything other than strumming a few chords. Got to start somewhere!
Top 40 is going to be Red Hot Chili Peppers. About time too. Would have thought with Higher Ground in RS1 that they would have had a pack years ago.
Is it?
You seem so sure… I would love that, I have requested a bunch of RHCP tracks although I worry most of the tracks would be from the more recent albums, rather than being from Blood sugar sex magic and previous… I still like their albums since BSSM, but not as much.
Royalty??
Prince would be F’N epic on this game…
Uh huh. check the link I submitted. Learning that particular solo would be epic.
He really deserves to be recognized. Problem is, what songs of his showcases his guitar work besides Let’s Go Crazy?
must have mistyped my email. How’d my symbol change?
I would love to finally see pink Floyd in a game, Metallica would be nice too but we all know it won’t happen. Gimme shelter would be great if they put the stones in
Royalty guess would be The BEATLES… Day tripper
Green Day all the way!!!
My guess is Qotsa. If it is then it’s gonna be Smooth Sailing from here on out.
ROYALTY
Not sure if he does this on his albums/CDs. If anyone knows, please enlighten me. I knew he had it, but not like this.
Never gonna happen. There is no way in hell a mere machine could accurately track that awesomeness.
True. We can dream though, right?
that solo is beautiful! My respect for prince just increased 10fold. Gotta check out more of his music now!
I knew he could play, but not like this. And I’ve often read how he is a highly skilled guitar player. I’ve also read, of the multitude of instruments he knows how to play, guitar is his favorite.
While I respect him as one of the most gifted musicians ever , I’ve only heard the pop and R&B songs. I’m not sure what to listen to in his catalog that highlights his guitar work.
I will say this. He is most definitely underrated.
I vote for Red Hot Chili Peppers, followed by ZZ Top this month. I would buy either one first day.
I hope for a larger set of Stevie Ray Vaughan songs at the end of the year like they did with Hendrix so that we have a better chance of getting my favorite of his cuts, Rude Mood.
Elliott forgot to add in Red Hot Chili Peppers in the poll.
Well it’s fixed now…
My first thought would be a new pack from Green Day. Considering they’re now HoF inductees and they have a new CD coming out, the timing would fit.
There seems to be a lot of metal coming out lately. So with that, they probably will include another one only this time from the Top 40.
I doubt it would be SRV as he requires no less than a 10 pack. The same could probably be said for AC/DC and The Beatles. If they’re looking to please the masses, RHCP, Motley Crue, or I guess Def Leppard. (Does Dire Straits have enough songs for a 5 pack. Not to belittle them. I only know three of their hits. Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, and Sultans of Swing)
My choice would be ZZ Top or RHCP.
As for royalty. I’m thinking Ubisoft got the one reclusive person we least expect, admire often as a true artist, don’t often credit as being a very skilled guitar player, and whom we most likely will not hear the tracks most folks normally request.
Now the question is, which name would Ubisoft use on Rocksmith?
T. A. F. K. A. P.
SLAVE
Symbol
Ill say Stevie Ray Vaughan and ZZtop… Blues I could get into
I’ll buy Queens of the Stone Age.
Royalty? What about the prince of darkness? Ozzy!
Anything from candle box would be better than most of the groups listed above…. And I don’t even like candle box
Hahahaha are you being completely serious? The Stones, ZZ Top, SRV, Dire Straits and Nirvana? Candlebox is better? Wow, must be nice to have such a low ceiling for musical taste. Candle box hahahahahahahahahah
Dire Straits, please
Sultans of Swing
Tunnel of Love
Money for Nothing
Lady Writer
Brothers in arms
Thomaz, sorry, I didn’t see your comment prior to my statement above. Thanks for the info.
Something from the Top 40 is good enough for me.
Put Van Halen on that list as well. No chance.
Sad But True….wait I wont believe it
Then you will forever remain in ignorance.
GnR made it to GH
That’s what the whole lawsuit was about https://www.wired.com/2013/02/axl-rose-guitar-hero/
Wow, no wonder the music sucks so bad these days. It would utterly destroy your will to live to be involved in so many layers of greed. I’d rather build bird houses and mow the yard. I have a whole new respect for people who have to deal with this torture. Good luck and may God have mercy on you.
Okay, got the gourds painted and the yard mowed, now it’s time to ROCK!!!!
Interesting read. So Axle is self centered and hates Slash because he cant share the spotlight with his enemy or wants him off the planet or whatever. But, how I read it is we get one or the other? GnR or Velevet Revolver? If you had to think about it should shoot yourself with either one I don’t care. Slash’s best work was and always will be with GnR. Solution: Delete Velvet Revolver and beg Axle to forgive your foolishness so that he may have mercy on the Rock universe. Then Maybe Maybe GnR can make it to Rocksmith, trust me Slash will understand…..it’s better this way.
What about Pink Floyd?
I have read the article.
🙂
Bon Jovi, Bullet for my valentine, Rise Against.. Very frustanting
If you notice, almost every month has only one heavy metal band, and that will be taken care off with the All That Remains DLC next week. So, I’m going to have to cross off Motley Crue, Slipknot, and Slayer.
And we just had a blues pack, so probably not SRV. Hope it’s not QOTSA, which means it probably is – lol.
