Greetings Rocksmith fans!
Are you ready for next week’s super spooky DLC?
@DanAmrich posted this yesterday:
Finster Folly was able to solve this puzzle in less than 20 minutes!
The Killers are definitely no strangers to music games over the years. Having been included from in Guitar Hero III with When You Were Young, Rock Band with When You Were Young, and even DJ Hero with a remix of Somebody Told Me. Both franchises had DLC packs that supplemented the on disc inclusions of the band featuring songs like Mr. Brightside, Human, and Spaceman!
When a few people (surprisingly in my opinion) on the forums exclaimed “Never heard of them” their Spotify top 10 was posted.
We’ll find out the first song (and then the other songs in the pack) on Monday, but here is what you can most likely expect from The Killers Song Pack!
Not that likely but it was in Guitar Hero 5
Also their cover of Joy Division’s Shadowplay would be pretty sweet
Are you ready for fun bass grooves and guitar arpeggios? Or is Mitt Romney’s fave band a giant Halloween letdown? Let us know!

I could get into some Killers but I’ll wait for the steam sale.
I didn’t know Synthesizersmith was out. Well have fun you guys, I am glad everybody gets a bit of what they enjoy, I will pass.
Sounds like what some people said about Duran Duran when they were announced.
And they finished 2nd in the DLC roundup 😳 Ok, let’s see how far the Killers will get next month. Anyhow, I am myself hoping for drums support in rocksmith.
I’ll admit that I had not listened to Duran Duran in years until the DLC, and I have been playing bass for less than a year, so John Taylor was a pleasant surprise.
The Killers, well, from the handlful of songs that I listened to (I had never heard of them), I can see they have something even though their “style” is not to my taste.
I will listen to the official selections and decide if anything is worthwhile to me. We shall see!
Ohhh, I really like “Somebody Told Me”. Looks like a fun one and I’d certainly buy that right away.
Any other fun bass parts I should look for in their library?
Still digging for other shit I can rock out to.
No halloween Band 👿
It might be a 3 pack
as we had lots of 5 packs
but anyway
I will buy When You Were Young
And it’s funny
I played This song on guitar hero 3 today 😛
Killers pack:
Likely:
Mr Brightside
Human
When You Were Young
Somebody Told Me
All These Things That I’ve Done
My picks:
Smile Like You Mean It
Glamorous Indie Rock And Roll
Mr Brightside
When You Were Young
Losing Touch
I guess I got 4 outta 5 of the songs right with the “Likely” pack…
Not an act I would use my time on but everyone else enjoy…For Halloween some more white/rob zombie would have been cool, Danzig or Manson would have been awesome, Tool would have been amazing….Misfits for Xmas?
Yeeeeah I love these guys! More popular bands please! I would love to see more Kings of Leon and Arctic Monkeys.
More 80s Rock please!!!
Although this is great DLc this band is awesome.
I really doubt you will see Shadowplay. I would think adding a cover would double the complexity of licensing, as well as cut into the revenue for the actual band. I love Joy Division though.
So not likely but also not impossible.
Don’t forget RHCP with “Higher Ground”!
Good point. A Cake pack definitely needed that song to be complete.
Either Joy Division or New Order would be awesome! Also where’s Beck, Peter Gabriel, more Interpol, John Lennon, Nick Drake, and U2?
What about Red Hot Chili Peppers “Higher Ground”?
Unlikely, but I’d love to see Sam’s Town, Glamorous Indie Rock ‘n Roll, Shadowplay, Tranquilize, All the Pretty Faces… Really, most anything off of Sawdust was cool.
Can’t wait to pick up Mr. Brightside!
another lame band never heard of them, Billy Squier, Dio, and Poison are a lot better than this band
Most people continued to listen to music after 1988, yeah I know it’s hard to believe.
Not sure how you’ve never heard of them (people really need to get out more), but I agree that most any band would be better.
Again though, to each their own. I for one am happy that I get to save money this week. This fall has been stressful on the ‘ol wallet with all this good DLC!
man i would really like to Jenny was a friend. I am not worried about the rest all can be pretty cool tunes. But that Bass line is pretty cool
Not the worst DLC you could get. I’m more likely to buy this than last week’s mixed bag.
“Yeah,” Hearing “I got soul, but I’m not a solider” over and over again on the radio in the mid 2000s killed any chance I ever had of liking this band what-so-ever.
This DLC will be going on the back burner indefinitely. I’m glad the song hasn’t made anyone’s list yet.
Oh, Yeah and to the question: This was a Halloween let down for me. We had some great DLC in September so I’m not really complaining about the lack of good DLC, but I wish we would start getting some themed packs.
But we have been getting themed packs. Just this past week we got arena rock. The other ones that come to mind offhand are yacht rock and Bachsmith. Lots of themed packs so far.
Don’t forget Surf Rock
Kinda hoping that Dan posting the Spotify top 10 doesn’t mean all the songs are from it. I really, really want Jenny was a Friend of Mine for the bass part. I’d still get the pack for the more likely choices though (namely Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me, and When You Were Young).
Jenny was one of the first things I learned on bass. A guy was playing it in the store when I bought my first practice amp way back. Super fun to play.
dang, close to 300-million plays on Spotify & not one of them is mine
I’ll give em a listen & decide after that
sounds too much like something a 13 yo girl would rock out to. I also thought we’d get some alice or slayer this week.
I thought the same thing when I first heard them with “Somebody Told Me”. I think their guitar parts might surprise you.
Would have liked either of those choices for the Halloween theme though.
That guitar looks awesome. I can’t wait!
Yeah, the guitar part does not look too easy. 😯
Heaven forbid they release something for kids to rock out to on Halloween.
Sorry I’m a shithead, but I think this guitar part is the shit. Plus, the guitar player from the Killers is from Iowa, so I gotta give props to a fellow bug eater.
i was crossing my fingers for either alice cooper or slayer, but i guess i’ll settle for when you were young.
Not familiar but some of the songs are ok. Will see what gets put up Tuesday. I hear they were super popular across the pond.
if mr brightside isnt there im gonna fucking kill someone.
Put down the axe, because Mr. Brightside has been confirmed.
Not for me, never liked them. Back to session mode i go… this month has sucked for me. Maybe someone from the RS team could post a list of, ‘not going to happen’ bands. I mean, should i give up hoping for Primus, living colour, or the Red hot chili peppers? or is there still a chance? We just don’t know…
Anyway, I know loads of people like them, so congrats to you people, have fun with it.
I’d guess you should give up hoping for Living Colour as we already have Cult of Personality.
There are other Living Colour songs that would be more than welcome in Rocksmith.
The question is not whether they’d be welcome or not, rather are they popular enough either by the charts or the request app.
exactly, 5 albums worth. We had one iron Maiden song, that didn’t stop them doing a Maiden 5 pack.
Mr Brightside is one hell of a catchy song. I feel fairly ambivalent about the rest of their stuff.
Somebody told me
Mr Brightside
When you were young
Flesh and Bone
Losing touch
Hopefully 😆
I’d like Jenny was a friend of mine and Midnight show, but seems very unlikely either will be in it. Easily my favourite songs of theirs though.
Ditto, those are two of my favorite songs of theirs.
When You Were Young
All The Pretty Faces
Smile Like You Mean It
Mr. Brightside
Somebody Told Me
Same!
I’m going to guess 4/5 are AOMG (already on music games):
Mr. Brightside
Somebody Told Me
When You Were Young
Human
Runaways
