While I can certainly understand and even share people's distaste for Life is a Highway, I will say that I usually find myself happily singing along for at least part of it when it comes on the radio.
On another note, I just watched this interview with Carole Kaye and I'm wishing I knew if she played on any of the current Rocksmith songs.
She's pretty awesome and was one of the Motown session musicians. Similarly, I was watching a video of Herbie Hancock playing at a music festival when I was introduced to Tal Wilkenfeld. I was surprised to see a young woman (looks like a kid compared to everyone else) playing bass with Herbie. Aapparently she's toured with the likes of Prince, Chick Corea and Jeff Beck.
This concert of Tal playing with Jeff Beck is pretty awesome too:

From the trailer, it looks like one of the easier packs.
I think that the internet has been for years on the path to creating what is essentially an electronic Necronomicon: A collection of blasphemous unrealities so perverse that to even glimpse at its contents, if but for a moment, is to irrevocably forfeit a portion of your sanity.

Looks like it might be a fun pack, and I'd play the songs if they were part of the base game, but I'm not quite interested enough in Marilyn Manson to spend the money. Oh, well, not like I don't have many, many, many, many other options waiting for me.
(And I still want to see Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing, Journey's Stone in Love, and a whole bunch of others.)

Marge: [voice over] The kids at school were even worse.
[flashback to young Marge gets on the bus and sits next to a girl]
Girl: [seeing her lunch pail] Ew! You like the Monkees? You know they don't write their own songs.
Marge: They do so!
Girl: They don't even play their own instruments.
Marge: No...no!
Girl: That's not even Michael Nesmith's real hat.
Marge: [screams]
[back in the present]
Dr. Zweig: Kids can be so cruel.
Marge: But it's true. They didn't write their own songs or play their own instruments.
Dr. Zweig: The Monkees weren't about music, Marge. They were about rebellion, about political and social upheaval!

I'm not familiar with them, but they've got an AC/DC-like sound mixed with late 80s American hard rock. They seem kinda fun, if a bit cheesy.

I was a bit disappointed because I saw the "runnin' wild" tagline on Facebook over the weekend and was hoping it might turn out to be a Scorpions pack.

Heading out to see U2 in concert tonight. College-aged me is seething with jealousy. And I know what songs I should probably spend some time playing today ...
I fractured my left wrist yesterday, after my cable finally arrived and the airports in Houston finally reopened. I'm not going to be able to play for months, it seems.

I'm going to take a pass on this one. Hip to be Square looks like it might be a pretty decent choice for someone new to guitar.

Yep, all three were fun, although the Ratt song had some challenging stretches. (And the Ratt song was the only one that had an actual solo as such.) The Huey Lewis was a lot of nice single-note lines, and "Higher Love" was that kind of 70s/80s white guy funk (SEE ALSO: Hall & Oates).

Does Rocksmith work with 3rd party Guitar-USB cables?
Edit: I have a guitar, but no amp. Rocksmith isn't recognizing my guitar, neither is Guitar Rig. I'm trying to narrow down whether it's a problem with my cable, my PC settings, or my guitar jack.

I think she was only 20 in this video and only started playing guitar like 6 years earlier.
