Happy 4th of July Rocksmith fans!
If you fine United Statesians feel like checking your phone or computer during your BBQ we have some news about next week’s Rocksmith 2014 DLC!
Since today is a holiday for @UbisoftStudioSF, the clue for Tuesday’s DLC was posted a day early. It’s a good thing because this one was a bit tricky.
Dan Amrich explains:
Yes, it was a visual/homophone pun. Source images for Watt and Katydid. I had a fun helper clue in case nobody spotted it as a katydid, but I didn’t have to use it.
But what of the “stripey” layer of the image? What does it mean? It is not random and it has relevance; it will help confirm the band. You have the answer, but you haven’t solved the whole puzzle.
“What Katie Did” is one of three Libertines songs in next week’s DLC, all of which are tuned to E Standard.
Who are The Libertines? Well for one thing I noticed Paul Cross (@CrossieRS) had retweeted this on June 28th (Hey that’s my birthday!).

The Libertines are an English garage rock revival band that formed in London, England in 1999 and disbanded in 2004. They reformed in 2010 to play the Reading and Leeds festivals. The band released two full-length LPs, both produced by Mick Jones of The Clash. Centered around the song-writing partnership and chemistry between Peter Doherty (vocals/rhythm guitar) and Carl Barât (vocals/lead guitar), while backed by John Hassall (bass) and Gary Powell (drums), the band was one of the cornerstones of the English independent scene in the early 2000’s.

So we already know one song…
Judging by popularity the other two songs should be this
and this
Quite a contrast compared to last week! Are you into post-britpop? Let us know.
The Libertines 🙂
Who???
Daniel Weddell And good for them, This shouldn't just be a case of give the Majority of people what they want all of the time. Otherwise it would just end up a long list of radio friendly US rock and nothing else, and it would end up a worse game because of it. To be fair, I do want to see them expand more into the UK side more. Some Biffy Clyro would be excellent, and something for Guitarists to really get their teeth into.
Afonso Coelho – I'm thinking outside of the UK they're not extremely well known. Not to the extent that a Blur or Oasis are at any rate.
As for me – I'd take a 10 pack. F'ing love me some Libertines.
Right like drug use or bad behavior is a method used to determine if they are to be included in Rocksmith. There would be no one left to add if we looked at of stage antics. Or even on for that matter. The fact is that they are immensely popular and quite brilliant musicians. That's all that counts.
that weedy spineless excuse of a man should have been found overdosed instead of the real talent he helped to destroy……..embarrassment to the Uk and music in general. doesn't deserved to be recognised in the street let alone immortalised in the rocksmith playlist.
Afonso Coelho I meant obscure by comparison. Of course there are literally thousands of bands out there with enough fame not to be considered obscure.
It's just that bands like Billy Talent and Libertines aren't nearly as well-known as some other big-name bands currently on Rocksmith that have yet to receive a DLC pack, like the aforementioned Nirvana, Rolling Stones, and Def Leppard.
Uh, Libertines are obscure?
.. 36 minutes
John Doeson I didn't say there was anything wrong with that, I was only speculating.
Besides, I've been waiting for a Rolling Stones pack for a really long time, especially since they already have 4 of their songs on the 2 games: more than any other band not counting DLC packs.
They're just trying to expand our tastes, what's wrong with that?
I have a feeling that Ubisoft is licensing all of these obscure, easy-to-get-ahold-of bands to hold off some time until the next big-name, much-requested DLC pack featuring a hard-to-license band; i.e. Nirvana, Def Leppard, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, etc.
Complaining in 3….2…..1…….
