This one is a bit of a tough one for me. They look like a lot of fun to play, but thanks to CanCon rules, I don't think it would happen. CanCon was the Canadian Content rule where radio stations in Canada have to play 30% (used to be 50%) of their music from Canadian artists. Every rockish station in Canada has played those songs so many damn time I don't think I could take listening to them enough times to get decent at them.

Tempted by Dragonforce, just to try it. I've got high 80's on the Rust in Peace Megadeth stuff with my horrid detection, so I think I could probably swing it.
And just tried one of the DragonForce lead sections for the first time and hahahahahahahahahahahah, no.
Also went and found a YouTube video of them in concert just to confirm that yes, there were people whose fingers could move like that. Interestingly, for some of the faster single-string stuff they were actually reaching over the top of the neck -- I'm guessing it made some of those insane stretches easier. Or possible at all.

Hmm, that's a good point. I'm willing to bet a lot of the Dragonforce stuff uses tapping, and I'm not sure how Rocksmith would distinguish that. I can't remember if it does or not.

They do have a way of showing tapping, although I've never had much luck with it. But they don't have a way of showing non-standard fretboard stuff -- reaching over the top of the neck, e.g.

It's actually on his wikipedia page; I don't think there are a lot of guitarists that use it so he's kind of known for it.
Recently, he has started to use a device called the Hot Hand that sits on his right hand like a ring, which causes extreme vibrato when shaken, giving him greater capacity to emulate certain video game sounds.
Basically, it sounds like an effects pedal controller that you wear on your hand.

Huh -- interesting. Almost like a wearable eBow, maybe. I noticed that his fretboard was also lighted -- I assume there's all kinds of fancy stuff going on in his instrument (which is in no way intended to take away from his obvious, incredible talent).

Wow, I didn't expect that. Holy shit.
I really want to buy them, even though I'd rarely tune that low.
Yeah, that's an odd choice. I like some of that band's material over the years but I don't think I'd ever choose a band that tunes that low for official DLC. The only way this is feasible for most people is if they have a second guitar they can tune that low. I would never tune my guitar that is in C all the way up to E because the heavier strings would negatively affect the neck and tuning a guitar that is in E down that low would result an unplayable instrument as an_alt pointed out. Strange.

The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in Hereford, England, in March 1978. The original band consisted of initiator and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion). Following the drug-related deaths of Honeyman-Scott and Farndon, the band has experienced numerous subsequent personnel changes, with Hynde as the only consistent member, and Chambers returning after an absence of several years.
Hynde launched a solo career in 2014 and the Pretenders were dormant as a band between 2012 and 2016. However, The Pretenders are once again active, having issued an album and toured in 2016.
Definitely a more laid back pack, though Middle of the Road is a little more involved. I didn't listen much to The Pretenders, but never minded them either.

Halestorm is an American hard rock band from Red Lion, Pennsylvania, consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist Lzzy Hale, her brother drummer and percussionist Arejay Hale, guitarist Joe Hottinger, and bassist Josh Smith. The group's self-titled debut album was released on April 28, 2009, through Atlantic Records. Their second album The Strange Case Of... was released on April 10, 2012. Its lead single "Love Bites (So Do I)" from that album won their first Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance on February 10, 2013.
Halestorm is well known for their near non-stop touring, often performing as many as 250 shows a year. Since 2006 they have toured with many hard rock and heavy metal acts including Alter Bridge, Chevelle, Seether, Staind, Papa Roach, Trapt, Three Days Grace, Theory of a Deadman, Buckcherry, Disturbed, Shinedown, Avenged Sevenfold, Stone Sour, Hellyeah, Heaven & Hell, Evanescence, The Pretty Reckless, Starset, Sevendust, Dorothy, Lita Ford and Bullet For My Valentine. Halestorm appeared on the first annual Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival, and in October 2010 the band traveled to Japan to participate in the Loud Park Festival. Halestorm also appeared on the 2010 Taste of Chaos tour.
I've heard of Halestorm, but haven't really listened to them. Sounds like power chord heavy, guitar driven rock. While they don't exactly have an original sound, I do have a thing for powerful female vocals. This might go on the drunk purchase list.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is an American progressive rock band founded around 1993 by producer, composer, and lyricist Paul O'Neill, who brought together Jon Oliva and Al Pitrelli (both members of Savatage) and keyboardist and co-producer Robert Kinkel to form the core of the creative team. The band gained in popularity when they began touring in 1999 after completing their second album, The Christmas Attic, the year previous. In 2007, the Washington Post referred to them as "an arena-rock juggernaut" and described their music as "Pink Floyd meets Yes and The Who at Radio City Music Hall." TSO has sold more than 10 million concert tickets and over 10 million albums. The band has released a series of rock operas: Christmas Eve and Other Stories, The Christmas Attic, Beethoven's Last Night, The Lost Christmas Eve, their two-disc Night Castle and Letters From the Labyrinth. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is also known for their extensive charity work and elaborate concerts, which include a string section, a light show, lasers, "enough pyro to be seen from the International Space Station", moving trusses, video screens, and effects synchronized to music.
I saw TSO and I already knew I couldn't play that with somebody else's hands. Not that it's unseasonable or unpleasant to listen to, just that it's not going under my Christmas tree.

So I bought "Christmas Eve" (which I always called "That Trans-Siberia Orchestra song") and it's actually not as hard as it seems. I played it 3 or 4 times on Lead and ended up with a 92%, and I'm not much of a lead player at all. The only really fast part is the run at the end, and even that is kind of simple when you break it down (just really, really fast). I got because I liked the song and it's Christmas time, but it ended up being pretty fun to play.
The rhythm is pretty easy and boring, which is good or bad depending on your viewpoint (I found it kind of boring, personally). It's mostly power chords, so if you just want to hit those really hard while you headbang your Santa hat, it's good for that.

The Steve Miller Band is an American rock band formed in 1966 in San Francisco, California. The band is led by Steve Miller on guitar and lead vocals. It is best known today for a string of (mainly) mid-to-late 1970s hit singles that are staples of classic rock radio, as well as several earlier psychedelic rock albums. Miller left his first band to move to San Francisco and form the Steve Miller Blues Band. Shortly after Harvey Kornspan negotiated the band’s landmark contract with Capitol Records in 1967, the band shortened its name to the Steve Miller Band. In February 1968, the band recorded its debut album, Children of the Future. It went on to produce the albums Sailor, Brave New World, Your Saving Grace, Number 5, Rock Love and more. The band's Greatest Hits 1974–78, released in 1978, sold over 13 million copies. The band continued to produce more albums and in 2014 toured with the rock band Journey In 2016, Steve Miller was inducted as a solo artist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I was tempted to title the threat Fly Like a Seahawk.
For some reason, I never thought of most of those songs being quite as quick as they are. That said, aside from a few five fret stretches, it's not exactly Malmsteen territory. Should be a popular pack with how much radio play SMB gets.

This one I did pick up, although I haven't played everything yet.
Take the Money and Run seems to be one of those where the lead guitar is mostly doubling the vocal line. I didn't realize that was not uncommon; or, at least, I've run across it in more RS songs than I would've expected.
Based on the tweet, at least one of the tracks is going to be No Excuses. I still play half the songs from Jar of Flies as they were the first songs I learned on guitar. Hey ready for a lot of E flat tuning

I've heard of Halestorm, but haven't really listened to them. Sounds like power chord heavy, guitar driven rock. While they don't exactly have an original sound, I do have a thing for powerful female vocals. This might go on the drunk purchase list.

There's a single in a random pack that I forget the name of. But I like me some Halestorm. That song, at speed, was pretty difficult for me.

I saw TSO and I already knew I couldn't play that with somebody else's hands. Not that it's unseasonable or unpleasant to listen to, just that it's not going under my Christmas tree.

The rhythm is pretty easy and boring, which is good or bad depending on your viewpoint (I found it kind of boring, personally). It's mostly power chords, so if you just want to hit those really hard while you headbang your Santa hat, it's good for that.

I was tempted to title the threat Fly Like a Seahawk.
For some reason, I never thought of most of those songs being quite as quick as they are. That said, aside from a few five fret stretches, it's not exactly Malmsteen territory. Should be a popular pack with how much radio play SMB gets.

Take the Money and Run seems to be one of those where the lead guitar is mostly doubling the vocal line. I didn't realize that was not uncommon; or, at least, I've run across it in more RS songs than I would've expected.
Based on the tweet, at least one of the tracks is going to be No Excuses. I still play half the songs from Jar of Flies as they were the first songs I learned on guitar. Hey ready for a lot of E flat tuning
