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?

YouTube player

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!

Slayer is only tuned to Eb?

elemenohpe

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.

elemenohpe

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.

elemenohpe

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”…

Deon101

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.

Spanky

Fuck us it’s about time please give us
Die by th sword

Chloe

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….

Mike

Of course it’s a female who hates metal. If you don’t like it, then get out. Oh, by the way, jazz sucks.

Chloe

Hey I’d love some Metallica any day but screaming/growling isn’t music…

toshineon

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.

Bonza Bloke

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:

Joseph Ferreira

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.

Bonza Bloke

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:

Ken

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.

Gotch71

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!

mrdanielw

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.

mags

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.

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.

Mike

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.

Tony Tunes

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.

Joseph Ferreira

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!!!’

gabivad

Yes, I knew it was coming pretty soon! 🙂

Jeam95

WOW!!!! Slayer 5-pack, I hope:

Chemical warfare
Raining Blood
South of heaven
Postmorten
Dead sking mask

Gotch71

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!!!

reaperforelife

The lady in my life, no, not you mom sorry…., is seriously disappointed in your poor outlook on metal.

Secret Squirrel

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?

Honky thom

THIS. (I miss David Lane…)

Tony Tunes

I would bet they are the same person.

pln9fos

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.

Tony Tunes

Again, same person. My guess.

toshineon

You can tell that to my mother and sister who both are big fans of metal.

Rockwarrior86

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

Muffy Diver

Hellllllsssss yeah!!! Count me in

Footballfan360

HELL YEAH SLAYERRRRRRRR!!!!! PACK OF THE YEAR!!!

Mike

Three down, one to go.

YYZ

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.

Secret Squirrel

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.

Dave

I have so much extra money now I might take up smoking again

Rhett

Dang it that comment left me literally laughing out loud!

WonderWaage

Why?

WonderWaage

Might as well move to Chernobyl

Dave

I am saving a bundle this month!

guest

Metal, that’s 3 out of 4 weeks.

Yusuke

Hey toy, ever considered that this isn’t the top 40 5 pack, and that this is the “Royalty” pack because of Kerry King?

Honky thom

Cool, I like metal, and this is my kind of thing.

dallas dave

’bout time 🙂

jarryd

I really want black magic but I also really really really really really really really want to seasons in the abyss

DVD Smith

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. 🙂

YYZ

I tried playing raining blood on tabs. My E string died on the way.
