Greetings Rocksmith fans!
Today’s a bit different as we know all five singles headed to Rocksmith 2014 next week. While we aren’t sure if the release will be referred to as Yacht Rock Singles we are gonna call it that anyway!
It all started with a rather lengthy clue posted earlier today by @DanAmrich
Rotated and translated from QuickScript we ended up with:
O’Malley’s was the only watering hole in this sleepy little town. And down the hall I saw her sipping a concoction of pineapple coconut and rum.
I knew the curve of her face. I knew her smile in an instant. Oh it’s you she said icily. She only smile when she lied. I can only stay a little while, I said, ignoring her disapproval. But the way you’ve been treating my friends the sheriff and his buddies, she asked in mock surprise. You’re better off not listening to their advice with their samurai swords. It’s gone too far, Missus Perkins, I said abruptly. And you don’t have to tell me why the gossip gets to flying.
She glanced beyond me as if looking for a way out. “Sometimes I may forget what I’m doing, Missus Perkins, but I don’t forget what I want.” “Don’t say that”, she mumbled. I saw her hand tremble and decided to hold it. “I know it’s hard for you to say the things we both know”, I ventured. “Your love set me free.” She grabbed me like a hungry octopus.
Which referred to five different songs that each person on the forum figured out in less than four hours!
Yacht Rock Singles
- Rupert Holmes – Escape
- Doobie Brothers – China Grove
- Toto – Hold the Line
- Hall & Oates – Kiss on my List
- Michael McDonald – I Keep Forgettin’
On a personal note, Hold The Line has been a song I have been hoping to see on either Guitar Hero or Rock Band for years now. Extremely happy to see my dream come true yet again, thanks UbisoftSF!
Now this is variety! What songs are you grabbing next week? All five? None? Let us know!
never heard the michael mcdonald song before… now i know where that sweet sample on regulate (warren g).
i’m very much looking forward to these songs.
Hold the Line arriving in a rhythm game makes me happy. Probably one of the 2 songs that Harmonix could not get masters/licenses for when they got Rosanna.
The following GTA San Andreas songs are in Rocksmith:
Heart – Barracuda
Lynyrd Skynyrd – Free Bird
Billy Idol – White Wedding
Living Colour – Cult of Personality
Alice In Chains – Them Bones
Hold the Line by Toto will be the 6th GTA San Andreas song to be in Rocksmith which makes me jump for joy, and with a RATM pack coming in the future, Killing in the Name could be the 7th.
Also, Hall and the Oats and The Doobie Brothers have been in GTA Vice City and GTA V respectfully, but the songs listed for next week are NOT the GTA songs.
GTA vice city soundtrack is by far the best, on the other hand, the gta 5 one is a huge piece of shit for the most part.
Oh yeah, GTA Vice City’s soundtrack was awesome. There was always plenty of time to listen to V-Rock. GTA V was meh to me. Only Los Santos Rock, Vinewood Boulevard, Radio Mirror Park, Non-Stop Pop, and Channel X were good to me.
Well, put me down for 3/5; that’s not bad. Somewhat strange selection overall, though.
When I saw The Doobie Brothers I thought we can finally get Long train runnin’, but no. Not this time. 🙁
Nonetheless, Hold the Line and China Grove sounded interesting. Will likely purchase.
Huh… I don’t think I’m getting any of these. I had a good run last month though so I guess it’s time for others to have a turn.
Maybe China Grove and Hold the Line, just maybe…
China Grove and Hold the Line are a yes from me… Not really sure about the others though.
^this
What’s ^this?
So Yacht Rock, because it’s the next step after Surf Rock?!
For me this is the best DLC release in quite a while. Getting 4/5.
I’ll pick Toto, Rupert Holmes, Doobie Brothers & Hall & Oates… Good DLC’s… Great bass in Hold the Line…!!!
Whoa! China Grove? Now you’re talkin! Might also get Hold the Line. Wife would like the Hall & Oates, haha!
In other news, that is NOT how I pictured the lead singer from Toto looking 😛
Fer sure, and the guitar solo is more wild than I remember it… That will take me some time to get past 90%.
yikes! and Barry Manilow and his “Copacabana” song isn’t on this list? hahaha
Not even a Captain and Tennille? Muskrat love? or thats next week!! bahahaha 😆
Not my cup of tea pass on all 5
Scraping the bottom for these not so great songs.
Maybe Toto`s Hold the Line. The rest has way too much cheese factor for me.
Haha! Awesome – I’m in!
Yeah!! This week is Instabuy, China groove is awesome!!!
Happy dance!!! Finally something worth downloading. None of the past month’s (at least) DLCs interested me at all
I was sure i’d heard Hold The Line but couldn’t identify it by name, then i clicked the youtube link and instantly brought many GTA:SA memories. We need more K-DST songs!
Growing a mustache in anticipation of this pack and finding some multi colored suspenders for sure
Man, I hope Doobie Brothers, Toto and Hall & Oates all get 3 packs at a later date!
This is a day one purchase for me 🙂
Cannot wait! Michael McDonald is in my head already!
i definitely gonna buy hold the line, those gta san andreas feelings never go away ever after 9 years
omg hall and oates!!!! 😛
