Hello Rocksmith fans!
Two METAL bands in a row? Two THRASH bands in one year? Three of the BIG FOUR in Rocksmith 2014 DLC?
Yup, all that is happening next week with the confirmation of a Slayer FIVE pack next week!
Let’s take a look at @DanAmrich’s Clue!
- SLITHERING OUT OF THE DARKNESS
- MANKIND HAS CREATED ITS OWN HELL
- CONSUMING EVERYTHING AND EXISTING AS ANATHEMA
- OBLIVIOUSLY LURCHING TOWARD ITS FINAL DAY
- ALL TOO QUICKLY THESE DOOMED SOULS WILL REALIZE
- THEIR PROPHESIED END IS FINALLY NEAR
That means the first confirmed @Slayer song is…
You all know how much I love this song in music games 😀
What other songs might we expect?
Please….
Because outside the solo it’s not that challenging to play
Because it’s in @RockBand
Of course we probably aren’t going to see Angel of Death due to the historical subject matter and often misconstrued meaning behind the song, but a five pack of @Slayer is just awesome in general. I only wish that Jeff could have lived to see @Audrey123Talks playing Raining Blood…
Are you excited for Slayer? Do you mind tuning to Eb Standard? Or is this just way too much Metal for one month? Let us know!
#WeAreTheSixPercent
Please:
Dead Skin Mask
South of Heaven
Seasons in the Abyss
and then what you want!!!!!
And Raining blood and chemical warfare =)
This the right place?
No.
There’s 103 comments here. I think that’s the most I’ve seen on any Riff Repeater article ever.
Nope, there are some with 145+ comments 🙂
Does every comment count? I look forward to Slayer but I do like music in general especially with a repeating pattern
These little arguments can go on forever all that needs to be said is FUCKING SLAYER
Wow, things have escalated a bit since I last checked in here. I don’t know if Gotch71 has ever had a genuine post, but at this point they’re just trying to piss you guys off. I understand wanting to defend the virtues of Slayer, but don’t the feed trolls. Just be happy the pack is almost here after all this waiting and try and tune out the nonsense. In the end, the fans of Slayer are the true winners, because they’re the ones that are getting packs they want. To everyone unsatisfied with the amount of metal packs, if you’re not submitting song requests and purchasing the DLC you support, then you have no one to blame but yourself for not getting the songs you want. Also, try to be realistic about the bands you want. If there isn’t enough mass appeal, the bands aren’t very guitar/bass centric, or the bands have a lot of legal hoops to jump through then you’re probably going to have to wait a long time. It’s not as easy to convince a band like ZZ Top to sell songs for $3 each as it is to convince a band like All That Remains.
Pease..it’s fine to call slayer crap… U guys know who u are… U suck the teet of ubsoft every week.. Oh great download .. This is awesome!!… Can’t wait… Grow a set of nuts and hopefully the garbage downloads will stop… Because I won’t … Don’t like the truth don’t read my posts… U mad bro??
I thought that the All That Remains dlc was a wasted opportunity, and I’m not interested in Slayer either. ATR sucks, imo, but Slayer certainly isn’t crap. Again, you don’t have to like them, but I absolutely understand why so many people are excited for Slayer dlc. Incredible guitar playing and wicked skills. Like em or not…mad respect. Not my cup of tea and obviously not yours either. Need to be an antagonistic, whiny asshole about it? Nope.
You are entitled to your opinion and are free to share it on here (to ad nauseum apparently) as long as you are respectful of other’s opinions.
From your previous posts I can completely understand why Slayer has ruined your whole week.
Haha this article is crawling up towards 100 posts, slayer has a huge following. I can’t believe people who talk like this guy or girl does; honestly, are you 5 years old? So whiney and can’t respect music. When you truly respect music it doesn’t matter if it does something for you; you know it motivates others. Gotch71 you are the least intimidating troll i’ve ever seen. I’ll pass on the slayer dlc, and look forward to next week. Went back and got matchbox 20 pack and aerosmith lately, plus i’ve got the blues stuff to play so i am not upset to save $10 this week.
Real trolls are ashamed of Gotch71…
Welcome back Grim!
Why haven’t you been banned yet?
English test: F-
Slayer starts with a capital if you are referring to the band.
It isn’t U, it’s YOU
It’s Please, not PEASE
Correct me if i’m wrong. But i’m pretty sure it’s teat not teet.
You should put quotation marks in the “Oh great download .. This is awesome!!… Can’t wait…” .
And before you jump in and say i’m a fanboy. I have listened to Slayer, and i can safely say that Slayer is one of the best of its kind.
Overrated garbage. DLC has been garbage for months now
Danish festivals???… Lmao… Bet Elliot likes gwar also… U wouldn’t know good music if it tea bagged you
Go outside
Do you need someone to talk to? Has someone done you wrong? Maybe not getting any at home? It’s all right, you can let it all out.
Taking your anger out on Slayer and their fans is just making you look more and more like an ignorant dumbass with each post. They are a well-loved, accomplished band with a huge fan base and a long history.
No one said that you have to like them. So you don’t like them, then guess what? Don’t buy the dlc and be happy that they are getting 5 packs from such big artists. Maybe one of your favorite artists is coming soon.
Geez.
Not a big fan, but I can’t understand why people are hating on Slayer.
You’re a cunt, sir.
Yuck. Seems like a lot of metal recently to me. Thank you RS, my wallet can use the break, lol.
Slayer is garbage.. When’s the last time they came to ur town and sold out an arena???… Never!!…#suck
That’s true, after 34 years of touring and making albums they can’t sell out stadiums like Ed Sheeran does these days.
we’ll see if ed sheeran can sell out mid sized clubs around the world in 2048.
Well. They’ve headlined a couple of danish festivals that sold out… and their last 3 stand-alone shows were sold out too…
I’ll bet people, for the most part aren’t that upset with the dlc that’s been released. There’s a lot of awesome dlc (imo) that I’d love to pick up, but maxing out the old credit card is a bad move when something I really want may be right around the corner. So, I think we’d all agree that it would be very cool of the skilled and attractive Ubisoft Rocksmith team, if they had a killer sale on Xbox and playstation so we’d be even more in awe of their generosity and knack for giving the people something to strive for, and we, in turn, would indorse their product even more than we do, since we love it so much. *ego deflates*
Been playing the blues pack pretty much every day since release. Think more in that direction guys. Far, far too much metal in ROCKsmith.
I love metal (there isn’t as much metal in this as people seem to think, many in that list below are hard rock, not metal), but i do agree we need much more blues, rock ‘n roll, funk, and some jazz too.
I’m not into metal and therefore feel zero excitement/interest in DLC of this nature. I will say though that there really isn’t all that much of it on RS. You have Rock and Hard Rock. I think some folks are lumping all of that together and just calling it metal
I do agree with both you and Thom. The blues is in short supply. And looking at all of the post related to May’s Blues Pack, it seems a large number of us feel the same. Bring on more blues.
Gotta spread the love though and thsi week it’s Metal’s turn.
Holy Hell there is some butthurt people in the comments
We haven’t had enough metal until Manowar makes an appearance. So get used to the call for MOAR.
Very sad. Day=ruined
Priorities…
I’ve been playing Slayer riffs since I got my first guitar more than 20 years ago. It’ll be nice to finally learn to play the full songs correctly. I’m hoping for Seasons in the Abyss, Dead Skin Mask, South of Heaven, and Spirit in Black (and Reign in Blood). Haters can hate, but metal is a great workout for my guitar skills! I’ll still be excited for Jazzsmith, though.
Hey does rocksmith ever have any thrash or metal downloads??….#suck
You should be banned.
Well damn, its not dire straits.
>Picking Dire Straits over Slayer.
I’m super excited for everyone that has been waiting patiently for Slayer, and I hope you have a blast. I will listen to Slayer here and there, but I generally don’t enjoy them. The guitar style sounds cool, just not something I enjoy playing. You guys have fun, and I get to save some money for next week! 🙂
old slayer or isnt worth a thing like metallica nothing after master
the moment its gonna be fun its when they ll a full album of someone ( youll have the choose the right one , but that could be funny
If we get static for a 5-pack, how on earth are we going to get a full album accepted? More likely we’d get “why didn’t you just take the 5 songs I wanted and do a pack of that instead of the whole album?” 🙂
because some album are seriously great from beginning to end and most of the times those artist are the best around for example
Jailbreak , Ride the Lightning , Diary of a madman , this one you almost put all on Boston 1st lol , Painkiller , Pyromiania , Enema of the State , THUNDER SEVEN..sry for caps just passing throught a little of my album and there so much more but those are incredible , we dont need to think im one minded i love guitar sound with energy .. but im going far from the point that an a whole album would be just fun when they re doing one you got the same energy or ambiance in those song some band can take that for 2-3-4 album maybe more but that kinda rare . If you could for next christmas that could be very fun ,casting a vote 1 from 70 , 1 80 – 1 90 1 for over 2000 ( sorry i almost hate 80 to 90 % of music made over 2000. and in those for decade put one for metal hard rock and the other for the rest of style that where there im sure if they vote for the album they ll buy the dlc
i got more question if you ever answer this:
will the next rocksmith get a kinda of multiplayer online mode ( like rockband ) where you can play with anybody or any ps3 or xbox friend that would be nice playing with someone else sometime instead of always waiting for the opportunity to play with a friend / someone in your house
could we have a leaderborads with all console pc included because i really wanna be the highest score on Carry on my wayward son and many more of my pref song?
the last if you could give a hint about one or all those band if the ever gonna make it
Alice Cooper
Quiet Riot ( maybe a 3 pack but for Randy’s year a 5 or 3 but its way better for me i think before his departure
Triumph ( world of fantasy from stage and rock n roll machine that a wish may not come true but ill believe till i die same for some randy stuff )
Ozzy Osborne ( please take Randy’s Year im begging on my knee if you do that im gonna marry the game and pass my whole life with … but not with a pack of 3 or 5 im demanding those two full album or only one and it should be tribute i know ozzy would maybe like this but not his team behind or Rhoads family , but if i could i would like to asking his family , that might never happen ,… maybe in my dream but it still didnt happen yet )
i know my comment may be harsh sometimes but i really love this game i imagine it when i first saw guitar hero 2 and tough this would be a wonderfull idea ( maybe i should have think more about creating it I would have choose the song hahahaahahhahahahahahaha machiavelic laugh..)
all that to say , for me you have one the best job on earth ahead of that is playing live in a band that would be sick like nonsense anyway have a good team with the team your wife and maybe the nieghboor’s cat ,

various hair metal crap in between
There is metal in Bachsmith pack too. Metalheads have to feel really deprived.
I might as well throw in Anthrax, Rise Against or some Spinal Tap, RATM, Stone Sour, Fuel, AFI, Soundgarden if you want all metal bands.
Alice in Chains
Judas Priest
Might as well throw in Maroon 5 if you are just going to throw in any band you think of
Now you’re just insulting your fellow metalheads, not me.
Hey, you put Seether, Shinedown and Creed on a list of “metal bands” not me.
As for me, it tunes like metal and sounds like metal. Do you have to approve it to be considered metal?
It’s also listed on wikipedia.
Backstreet Boys “Backstreet’s Back” has a heavy bass line so I’m now considering it Metal.
misirlou plays more like metal than stuff by those hard rock bands.
Good, then request more surf rock and everybody will be happy.
Wow, I’m not in anyways into metal, but even I wouldn’t have listed Linkin Park, Papa Roach, and Creed as metal. I feel bad for any metalheads out there.
Following the criteria for your list, would Janet Jackson (Black Cat) Michael Jackson (Dirty Diana, Give Into Me) be metal?
Just trying to understand. How about Stryper, or Michael Sweet, or DC Talk?
No, no, yes, maybe, no. Are you deaf or what?
Creed…smh
Dio?
Slayer is only tuned to Eb?
Yup!
MOST slayer stuff is in Eb. Their first album is in standard. Diabolus In Musica and later albums have plenty of lower tunings: C# standard, Drop B, 7-string standard (BEADGBE)… they brought back Eb tuning for some songs on Christ Illusion and World Painted Blood.
I can confirm that all five songs next week are in Eb.
Nice… that rules out most of their meh-terial. Looking forward to lots of stuff from Reign In Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss.
nice. love to play some Slayer. hopefully nothing from the new record… i doubt there will be but, i’d rather have some classics more than whatever Kerry King is now calling “Slayer”…
Hmmm.. Well yea okay. I’m not a Slayer fan but appreciate respond to demand even if there are a ton of “to much metal” posts. I think being deprived fit almost 3 or 4 years it’s about time they turn up that pressure.
Fuck us it’s about time please give us
Die by th sword
Lame. Slayer, All That Remains and Dethcock in one month of each other. And Spinal Tap and Anthrax not that long ago. HOW ABOUT SOME JAZZ, GUYS?!!! This isn’t Metalsmith….
Of course it’s a female who hates metal. If you don’t like it, then get out. Oh, by the way, jazz sucks.
Hey I’d love some Metallica any day but screaming/growling isn’t music…
It may not sound good if you’re not into that kind of music, but you’d be surprised at the amount of vocal skill and effort that goes into screaming and growling. It’s far more complex than just outright screaming normally.
Exactly. That’s why world class Opera singers don’t growl/scream.
Pavarotti couldn’t even do it because it was just too complex for him. Before he died he said that his one regret was that he couldn’t be as awesome at singing as Frank Oz :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
the games called rocksmith, not voicesmith. the guitar riffs in Slayer songs are both fun AND challenging.who cares about the singing. All those bands you mentioned were released because they’re not uptight and released their song rights & a lot of people requested them. obviously at least one of these two factors does not apply to your chosen Jazz or there probably would have been one already. And personally i suspect we’ll see a country pack LONG before a Jazz pack.
The other problem with Jazz is that at it’s core is freeform improvisation. You don’t want to be learning a Jazz piece to a 100% accuracy when it should change every time it’s played.
The set note tracking doesn’t mix with improvisation too well. Unless you tune down to Drop C and then it doesn’t matter what notes you play, Rocksmith can’t tell any more. :grinning:
Face the Slayer!!! and I’m in for all the rest no matter what it is. If not then maybe one or two tunes depending on choice.
Elliot .. That’s because u live in your moms basement … Never seen a bunch of hot ladies running around like stone heads screaming .. SLAYER DUDE!!!…. Gender that.. Next time u go see one of these metal band look around… Sausage sauna… Dork…….. Actually it is 3 out of 4… Slayer that dumb crap last week and deathcock.. Because they suck… That’s 3 genius so STFU!
That’s one of the worst formulated posts I have ever had the misfortune to read.
Pure literary diareah.
Maybe you should go back to school and ask them to teach you English.
Clever use of irony, putting in the deliberate misspelling. It’s like you’re saying “I’m going to pick on your English skills, but hey, none of us are perfect,”.
Nice.
Have you actually been to a Slayer concert? I doubt it.
Also you are combining months to suit your platform of too much metal.
I remember seeing Slayer at Ozzfest back in ’98. The band actually looked hysterical trying to be all dark and intense at an outdoor venue on a sunny day at 2 p.m. They sounded like shit, too. But, that’s just, like, my opinion.
As to diversity, I remember this family of three had a set a blanket out on the grass. It was very picturesque. Their three year old pulled down his pants and peed on the lawn right next to someone else.
Later that night, a bunch of nice gentleman lit the grass and trash on fire in five or six locations on the lawn and people danced in it, while a roving fire brigade tried to extinguish the fires. That part was all dudes.
Metal brings out the best in humanity. Maybe that’s why even Metallica said people could stick it up their ass.
Are you a dumb bitch or an annoying 12 year old troll. No matter who you are, you sound like you’re someone who failed basic grade school English. Do all of us a favor and fuck off.
Just speculation, but I would guess you used to be a poster named David Lane, then you were the girl who hated everything that posted from facebook above. I have a feeling you are all the same person, always complaining, but never stating what you would listen to.
So, what does a troll listen to? I figured the Dethclok Troll awakening song would have been up your alley.
The fact that you can’t play it doesn’t mean it sucks it means you suck. spend less time trolling and more time practicing. and yes i have seen a bunch of hot chicks running around screaming ‘SLAYER!!!’
Yes, I knew it was coming pretty soon! 🙂
WOW!!!! Slayer 5-pack, I hope:
Chemical warfare
Raining Blood
South of heaven
Postmorten
Dead sking mask
3 out of 4 weeks metal… Hopefully it’s the end of this crap for the rest of the year … Ubisoft get some bands on here that have more than a male cult following!!!
Actually it’s 2/4 weeks that are metal. There’s one more week to go in May. Also are other genders not allowed to listen to Slayer? I wasn’t aware
The lady in my life, no, not you mom sorry…., is seriously disappointed in your poor outlook on metal.
I don’t know how you do it, but somehow you manage to have the dumbest comment out of everybody in the comment section in EVERY riff repeater post EVERY single week. Would you please do us all a favor and take your douchey personality and terrible taste somewhere else? Seriously, have you ever once had a positive reply to anything you posted since you started coming to this site?
THIS. (I miss David Lane…)
I would bet they are the same person.
You should look up a Facebook user named Tina Morgan, because she was the only other person that I have seen commenting on here with such a knack for endlessly complaining about every DLC release without offering any constructive feedback; I think that you two would get along quite well.
Again, same person. My guess.
You can tell that to my mother and sister who both are big fans of metal.
Dead Skin Mask! We need it! But it’s probably not happening, but if war ensemble is on disc, and if Angel of Death isn’t coming, there IS a chance
Hellllllsssss yeah!!! Count me in
HELL YEAH SLAYERRRRRRRR!!!!! PACK OF THE YEAR!!!
Three down, one to go.
I think royalty is a reference to the name of the BAND and not the ARTIST. So this is our top 40. Prince “changed his tune”, Queen is possible, QotSA is very probable, there is a band called “Royal Blood”, etc.
Either way, cheers to the metalheads.
Whoa… Didn’t see that coming. I thought there’s no way there would be another metal pack. Who cares though? I cannot wait for this pack. If they have Metal Storm/Face The Slayer in the pack, it would be one of the greatest moments in RS DLC history. I want it sooooooooo bad.
I have so much extra money now I might take up smoking again
Dang it that comment left me literally laughing out loud!
Why?
Might as well move to Chernobyl
I am saving a bundle this month!
Metal, that’s 3 out of 4 weeks.
Hey toy, ever considered that this isn’t the top 40 5 pack, and that this is the “Royalty” pack because of Kerry King?
Freddie King
Cool, I like metal, and this is my kind of thing.
’bout time 🙂
I really want black magic but I also really really really really really really really want to seasons in the abyss
Meh, not a Slayer fan at all but Raining Blood will be fun. Plus it’s another GTA Vice City song in the game! Enjoy, thrash fans. 🙂
I tried playing raining blood on tabs. My E string died on the way.
