Rocksmith 2014's Adding Weezer to Its Lineup

@fwpx:

I doubt it. Only in Dreams is their masterpiece!

When I saw Weezer here in Sydney, they played the Blue Album from start to finish, then played a greatest hits set. Freaking perfect I reckon. Island in the sun and haspipe are fantastic songs.

@gyrfal: While you can theoretically plug a mic into Rocksmith, it doesn't score it. It's basically just scrolling the lyrics.

okay okay okay guys you've had your fun, but real talk:

pinkerton.

(and that b-side 'you gave your love to me softly' that was featured on the angus soundtrack). come on @patrickklepek, you're picking up what i'm putting down.

It doesn't suck it's just fairly mediocre with a couple of good songs, compared to the first 2 albums it's poor.

I love green, yup. And I love maladroit. But hey, stir the pot Pat.

Just checked, green and maladroit are the only Weezer albums on my phone, atm. But hey, who am I.

I think I may be the only person on earth hoping for "Only In Dreams" to be in one of these music games.

I'll always take more early (and early-ish) Weezer, but man, the lack of Pinkerton in this and music games in general sucks. Those songs would be so damn fun to play, even in Rock Band, but we only ever got El Scorcho.

I stopped seriously paying attention after Maladroit. That "Pork n' Beans" song while being pretty terrible lyrically was fun and better than most of what was on "alt-rock" radio at the time, though.

Also, Pinkerton or die.

@ajroo:

Holy crap! You're the king of the 90's and you're all right!

The rest of you are wrong and Patrick is right, the Green album is garbage, and this is coming from someone so obsessed with the band that "TheRiversCuomo" is his handle EVERYWHERE.

I'm also very apologetic for Make Believe...

It's like they don't want me to buy Rocksmith 2014.

Not everyone wants to or has the skill to learn an intricate riff so it's nice to have a variety of difficulties among the song. Hash Pipe is a song a Weezer fan could probably learn pretty fucking quickly no matter their skill level

No, it's better. The best you might say. Slightly awkward, but all the more endearing because of it. And it had a line about New Jack getting leg dropped by Johnny Grunge so how can you beat that shit? What's more 90s than ECW? (Lots of things, but hush)

Take that person who was moaning about people stating their opinions on music tracks.

When are they releasing Letters to Cleo "Wholesale Meats and Fish" That was the album NEXT to Weezer on my shelf for some reason and it rocked.

Blue Album is easily one of my all time favorites. Not a bad track on there. Rest of the albums are decent imo, not as bad as some of you say. Might have to try this DLC.

I wish this thing was named something other than Rocksmith so we could get more genre diversity. Besides a few of the Muse songs and Albert King, none of the DLC so far has felt like stuff that I need to play. I know, subjectivity blah blah blah.

Blue, Green, and Pinkerton are all fantastic. The rest range from garbage to eh

Pinkerton is great, but it is certainly no Blue Album.

I would have thought the kind of big-time music fans who choose the songs for a rhythm game would have known that Pinkerton is the best, and is in fact even better because everyone originally hated it!

I mean, lose Hash Pipe - it's nothing but power chords anyway - and put in El Scorcho, that's got a solid riff! Or they could go with Pink Triangle, that song's great too!

Although I can see why maybe they wouldn't.

@gyrfal: Rocksmith doesn't really have any sort of "vocal mode" a la Rock Band; the lyrics are mostly just there so you know where you are in the song.

Green album isn't THAT bad. Not as bad as Hurley, Raditude and whatever that last one was.

I like Red/Green/Blue albums equally. Come at me.

Before listening to the Blue Album and Pinkerton, I actually thought Weezer was fucking terrible.

@parabolee said:

Liiiiittle hard to call somebody out as a poser hipster when they led a Weezer fan club and met Rivers through that.

Anyone who calls themselves a Weezer super fan and then disses the green album is a poser hipster as far as I'm concerned. . Sorry Patrick . I do love you man. But I love Weezer more. And that includes up to and post the green album!!!

Blue Album = Pinkerton>Green Ablum>EVERYTHING ELSE.

Raditude is despicable.... it's as bad if not worse than Make Believe... Hurley was okay.

The Green Album is actually my favorite.

Also, I kind of think indie games aren't very much fun.

Soooo... I guess my hipster cred is in the negative.

Just droppin' in to say the Green Album and Maladroit own bones. *peels out*

The following are decent albums:

• Green Album
• Red Album
• Raditude

YEAH I SAID IT! IF YOU'RE WONDERING IF I WANT YOU TO COME AT ME, BRO, I WANT YOU TO COME AT ME, BRO!

Pinkerton is where it's at.

Green Album? What's that? Weezer only made two albums, Pinkerton was the last one.

Some good tracks in that pack.

Interesting that in the promo vid, theres quite a few misses.

OKAY I WILL GIVE YOU THAT

Blue Album is the best, man. Also, Island In The Sun is pretty alright.

Don't get why this was posted when more significant bands have had DLC in the fairly recent past. Shrug.

These do make me nostalgic for the weekly Rock Band trailers we used to get, but I've been into Rocksmith for about a month now and it's pretty awesome.

These songs are fine, but after the glut of music games released since about Guitar Hero 3, getting more Weezer yet again for the fifth time redux part II returns, Jr., just ain't that exciting. Same goes for Offspring, Megadeth, Nirvana, and all the other bands that have been in music games countless times.

@patrickklepek Is it time to update your Weezer fansite with this new info?

More Rocksmith music is always a good thing... but can we get some more diversity in our selection? First a muse DLC pack... and now a Weezer pack? These bands are already represented...

Adding more Weezer. While Weezer definitely isn't my thing, Rocksmith's DLC has been pretty alright though, managed to get some Radiohead, Muse and some older Smashing Pumpkins (haven't bought any though because they're probably all too difficult for me).

Also, SO MANY POWER CHORDS.

Edit: Should've noticed this was added to the site by Weezer megafan Scoops. ;P

Also also, when are they going add some real Weezer songs like the following?

I was going to say almost exactly this.

Also, are they really making you say the spoken parts in The Sweater Song? That's really weird.

Seriously? No Pinkerton? What kinda animals work there?
