Hello Rocksmith fans!
It was a difficult solve but we now know what to expect next week on Rocksmith 2014!
Let’s take a look at this week’s screenshot clue c/o @DanAmrich.
This was a hard one because most transcriptions are in Drop C online, however as usual RollingStone222 was on top of the situation.
Which means that we are getting…
Yup, it’s a three pack from @Skilletmusic including Awake and Alive.
Check out 2:41 for the clue #tappatappa
Skillet is definitely a highly requested band. Personally I see them requested quite often on both twitter and facebook and it doesn’t hurt that yes, they are a Christian rock/nu-metal band. Surprisingly next week Rocksmith 2014 will have the most Skillet songs out of all major music games as Rock Band only has their popular single Monster as Rock Band 3 DLC.
What songs could be included in the DLC pack?
Hero has 74 million views on YouTube…
There’s no way Monster won’t be in the pack right?
Pictured here are the Top 10 most listened to songs on @Spotify US, Which song do you most expect to be included in the Skillet Song Pack?
Are you excited for Skillet’s debut in Rocksmith 2014? Are you happy to see some Christian Rock represented in the game? Or is this just another Three Days Grace to you? Let us know!
I would love believe to make it into the pack, or comatose.. I’m sure whatever they put I’ll like though. I’m not religious, just like good hard rock music! Funny people call a guitar oriented genre band with 70+ million views on their videos a “budget band,” obviously people are requesting them, suck it up ladies.
Wait, so there’s a Christian nu-metal band named after a frying pan, and one of their songs has 74 million views on YouTube? Amazing sometimes, things about the world that I didn’t know I didn’t know. Seriously though, some decent riffs here, but the whole Christian rock thing is just a huge turn-off for me. I just can’t tolerate being preached to by Christians, no matter what form that takes.
Why all the ragein the comments section? I never expected one of my fave bands to get in here, and they have some wonderful guitar lines. If it’s not your style, I’m sure we’ll get some crazy awesome surprise around Christmas, but this and Bachsmith just made my year
Quote “Christians losing their ability to discern the difference between good and evil? The fact that this demonic music even made it into the church is proof of the moral and spiritual decline affecting the church today. We are being invaded by hard rock, acid rock, punk rock, new wave, and heavy metal music under the guise of religious rock and roll.” I think that basically says even christians think its crap – The Devil is the man when it comes to rock music lets keep it that way. Dear santa please can I have a Cult dlc for my christmas – thanks.
When you quote something, you write the source of the quote, not just quote as that is implied by the quotations.
Oh reheheheaalllyyy …..Says who ? are you the quote police ?
Sorry I thought you wanted to be taken seriously. Carry on

Its made by a guy called Alan Yusko, a fundamentalist and a rapture lecturer.
Definitely a disappointing pack in my opinion but I’ll buy it just to have something new to play. Hey, how about….. more rush, some yes, anybody heard of the rolling stones? Maybe some greatful dead? Please????
Being disappointed every time your very specific wishlist isn’t on the table, is not at good way to go about not being disappointed weekly
Hmmm… I liked the hit singles Il pack, the bachsmith II pack, rancid (after I tried it), one of the black keys songs and i like about half of the dlc that is put out overall to one degree or another (even though I buy about 75% of it, u get better by trying new stuff) Earth, wind and fire was awesome… need more funk!
I feel like if we could get one more Rush four pack with The Trees, Closer To The Heart, Fly By Night, and 2112 Overture, that would be prefect.
I’ve put in requests for the first three you listed and would love 2112 too. Working man would also be welcome :). I owe a thank you to whoever clued me in on requesting the desktop site to request songs (think it was Elliott or Dan A.).
Hard pass for me on this. Christian rock is a genre I have absolutely no interest in, and nu-metal is another. Congrats to those who are into it, I’ll be turning the other cheek.
Not a fan of Christian rock music in general, but Skillet has a few really good tracks.
The ONLY reason these people even make ANY money off this garbage is not because the majority has appalling taste in music, but ALSO because since this shit is about kissing the bearded man’s ass, that automatically labels it good ??? Garbage.
This comment is a bunch of garbage if I may say so. And I feel that the people who like this comment has an APPALLING taste in comments
Sorry but in order for you to insult me firstly I would need to value your opinion. It might have had 0.01% value but then I noticed you used the word ‘darn’ in a comment – AAHAHAAHA seriously do people realy speak like that ahhhh funny. God bless & all that
All these years I’ve been hearing their songs on the radio and I never knew they were a Christian band. Surprising, but I can see it. I’m usually up for the hard rock packs, but Skillet kind of sucks. I think the singer has a really annoying voice and that the instruments are nothing special. I’ll pass.
One of my sons favorite bands. I like them also. Will definitely pick this one up. Hopefully we will get more Christian rock in the future. The more genres and bands the better. Keep up with the variety Rocksmith
oh no, they ring my door bell sunday morning, they give the girly pamphlets at the hair dresser, and now their invading my play time…ahhhhhhhhhh…..
Just kidding, The Awake and alive song is catchy. I’ll wait for the charts as well.
Enjoy skillet fans, get your blessed rock on 😉
I will check them out. Never heard of this band but Rocksmith has opened me up to some cool stuff
Faith + 1 ?
Respect My Authoritah!
Good thing Cartman was right about Token having a bass in his basement.
Pass, I’ve never heard of this band and after listening to them I didnt care much for them. I wonder how many more dlc packs we have left for the year after this one comes out. Is it 2 or 3 ?
4 DLC releases in December
There’s always a year or three backlog of DLC for times like this.
I couldn’t stand this band in Rock Band, I remember cringing everytime I went over them in the store front.
According to my sister, the only people who like Skillet are Geography teachers, and they fucking love the band.
I like Dan’s at ubisoft sentiment like you are getting a 3 pack of this stuff and a lot of you 12 year olds requested this but I actually know what good music is. At least that’s how I took that
That’s a good way of putting your own bias on a general statement
I don’t believe in good or bad music, just music that does or does not inspire you.
So, if you took it some other way, you have misinterpreted it. Secretly suggesting that one person’s taste is superior is never how I have meant any statement.
A nods as good as a wink to a blind bat 😉
I think Dan was saying more to the line that this week should prove quite polarizing, not that he himself considered the pack good or bad.
I guess we’ll never know.
More budget bands.
>every band I don’t listen to is cheap to license
you don’t know shit about anything, please stfu
Nope, not just because I don’t like them, though they do suck. But I get it, you probably listen to them in your church youth group and you’re a little butt hurt from my comment. Go pray about it.
An extremely popular band, with a huge fanbase, that gets requested every darn week on Facebook… Pretty sure they’re not a “budget band”
The know-nothingness is strong with this one
I know, the church fanbase is pretty big.
I am not sure why so many people seem unwilling or unable to accept it, but there are many bands out there that get a lot of requests but are not part of your experience. This does not make them budget bands, this just makes them something that does not appeal to you. That needs to be accepted, as it’s not going to change — ever. There will always be more music than you appreciate.
I personally don’t care what you put out but what you don’t put out. When you put out shit and little to no good stuff then I don’t have anything to play. Now that is a proper reason to hate all this music.
That’s no one’s problem but your own.
You must remember that most people on the internet are complete imbeciles, Dan. Just ignore it.
Or you guys could just be doing a pretty terrible job, just maybe.
It’s possible, but unlikely based on the data. We look at requests and try to fill as many as possible; the trials and tribulations of licensing are pretty well documented at this point, but the request app does guide our actions as much as possible. We also look at what tracks make a profit to let us sustain our business.
We also look at the requests in relation to the profit, and we have seen some pretty surprising correlations there — heavily requested bands that our most dedicated players champion sometimes lead to stunningly low sales. That makes it hard to make those very vocal players happy when what they asked for does not sell well enough to justify its own existence.
But you are right — we could be doing a terrible job, and all these numbers could be trumped by one sarcastic comment on the internet. Research continues.
You really can’t use your numbers in this debate. I’ve mentioned several times how I’d love to see the download numbers for some of these bands and you consistently say that it wouldn’t be in the bands best interests to do so, or just good business.
The licensing deal was much easier to accept until other rythem games came back on the market and started pulling some pretty decent bands. What do they have that you don’t?
You guys ignore any real game updates other than bug fixes, the bands closing off the year have been pretty pathetic. The amount of wasted opportunity on this game is insane to me.
Yeah, no. Not a big hard rock fan. Pass.
But hey, it’s december! And in every december there’s always a great pack to round up the year! So what do you think could await us that isn’t impossible (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc.)
Circus For A Psycho has a pretty sweet riff throughout. Hopefully that one hasn’t gone under Ubisoft’s radar…
Well, it’s not really for me, but It depends on the charts. Not the biggest hard rock fan. 🙂
Just when I thought things could not get any worse, rockband wins this weeks dlc again. Step it up ubi.
I was not aware it was a competition.
It should be, consumers of dlc packs would only benefit from both developers trying to one up each other.
Well Rocksmith has 8 Muse songs and 8 Radiohead songs so they already one upped their indirect competition a long time ago 😉
But no van halen, ozzy or black sabbath, less rush, judas priest, and iron maiden.
You will be thrilled to hear that Iron Maiden and Judaism Priest are currently present as DLC
Yes, but rock band has more of both of those bands, by at least double.
As explained here: bit.ly/rsprocess
And don’t forget All Time Low ??
Nope. Rock Band and Rocksmith aren’t in any more competition than the Mets are with the Knicks — “but both teams score points with a ball!” Each of us want the same thing — DLC that people find interesting — but to suggest that one franchise wins and another loses if it does not match your specific personal taste is silly. That’s the nicest way I can think of to put it, anyway.
I’m happy if both developers just try to one up themselves instead of each other. RS2014 is superior to the first RS game. So far Rb4 can’t say the same about RB3 no matter what dlc they get.
Just wanted you to see what your statement means for you now https://www.savitskycollection.org/
That’s a crappy pack as well but still better than this mess.
Pfff Bad start.
Luckily there is currently 40% off most old DLC on Steam.
Never heard of them, but I certainly don’t mind getting some christian music. I like it just fine. How is 3 days grace christian music though? My church only does Hymns so I dunno.
They aren’t Christian Rock but they certainly sound the same to me /opinion
I never understood how skillet was christian rock, they sound like generic nu-metal to me. Then again, some people thought creed was christian rock back in the day, mostly due to “higher”.
They are most definitely a Christian Rock band https://billygraham.org/story/skillets-heart-reaching-the-unreachables/
Yeah, they’re definitely Christian rock. They piped up about Jesus and stuff during the last gig I saw them at. Was a little cringe-worthy at the time…
Pass
gas.
as often as possible.
