A constant request on the Rocksmith facebook page and everywhere else you can think of, is for Ubisoft to reveal the top requested songs/artists/genres. While I’m not sure what the point of that is because MUSIC LICENSING, people asked for it and today they delivered.
Along with this pretty infographic they also released a lengthy FAQ explaining pretty much everything they can tell you about Song Selection!
Nothing left to do but start…
The Headstones .. “Tweeter and the Monkey man”, ” Unsound”, “Cubically contained”, ” Blonde and blue”, “its all over”, ” Settle”, “Smile and wave”, ” When something stands for nothing”
Would love to see some U2 packs and Prince packs
Would be awesome to see you guys do a covers set. Pack 1 could be 5 tracks by the original artists, Pack 2 could be the Contemporary cover tracks. See what sells better. My money would be on both packs of course.
Still wondering about the fogey rock. The old guys have the money to pay for the DLC. Give us BTO, Steve Miller Band, Jim Croche, Cat Stevens, Moody Blues, Jefferson anything, Journey. And while on the subject how about some more from the 50s good motown, and of course CHUCK MF’N BERRY!
I'd love to see a Trivium pack thrown in there
Yeah and so we can petition and harass those artists too!
So Led and Pink were requested. That will never happen due that Led says no to such things per se and Pink songs would be more the albums which were concepted as one big experience and not just a song. Maybe Vai and Gilbert would be good but also VERY VERY complicated to play.
Billy Talent next week.
It would be great if the bands who are listed in the Top 40, but fall into the 4th category of "Simple Not Interested" could be marked as such… it could alleviate false hopes on our end and we could focus on requesting songs from artists who are willing to participate.
I think that these bands have made lots of money, and as Chris Prajzner says, maybe their management are saying no… For sure bands can make more money granting permision to be in Rocksmith and it'll be a great honor to have millions of people learning and playing their songs… Well, that's my opinion…
So… the 50 year old guys from my tiny small town's local bar are the ones requesting DLC apparently… I'm still holding out for more punk/pop punk/ skate punk… to buy Rocksmith. The Clash pack was exciting, but I'd love to at least see a mixed bundle with big hits like MC5s Kick out the Jams & Dead Boys' Sonic Reducer. Maybe some Joan Jett.
But way less mullet rock please…
Are the actual artists saying no? Or is it their management? And do they really know what they are saying no to?
This is not a game… ITS A WAY OF LIFE. Why listen to the music when with Rocksmith you can LIVE the music.
Money aside, saying "Yes" seems like a no brainer.
PS: How does The Cult not make the top 40? A 5 song Cult pack would sell out!
Nice. Very detailed explanation.
Seth Le Septième At least I want the Animals or Resistance song, it just nice and the other is really tricky for what i saw on youtube 🙂 but in anyway your right, in that case I want (at least) the Arctic Monkeys or Let Her Go from Passenger
What do you want from Muse ? We already have the bests songs to play (Unnatural Selection and Knights Of Cydonia) ! The only song I would like is Survival, I have to admit it it's fantastic to play…
Eight songs is enough for me.
Ok, I don´t now but MUSE songs need another round for the DLC´s packs 🙂
