Rocksmith 2014: Spinal Tap Song Pack
Overview:|
This is a Pack/Addon for Rocksmith 2014, released in 2015, requiring the base game to function. As a simulator enhancement, it adds five specific songs by Spinal Tap—including "Big Bottom" and "Stonehenge"—to the playable library for electric guitar or bass. The core gameplay loop remains learning these tracks note-for-note. A distinctive feature is that each song includes a new, authentic tone designed to emulate the band's sound profile.
This content is a downloadable Pack / Addon designed exclusively to enhance the core experience of the music simulation game, Rocksmith 2014. Released in March 2015 for PC (Microsoft Windows), this specific addition focuses entirely on introducing licensed musical content from the iconic fictional band, Spinal Tap. It does not introduce a new story, setting, or fundamental gameplay mechanics; rather, it expands the library of playable songs available within the main application. Integration is seamless, requiring the base game to access and utilize the new tracks.
Core Content and Integration
As a downloadable content (DLC) pack, this addition serves to broaden the musical repertoire available to players utilizing an electric guitar or bass connected to the Rocksmith 2014 platform. The primary appeal lies in the inclusion of five specific tracks from the Spinal Tap catalog, allowing players to learn and master these songs note-for-note using the game's established learning interface.
What new material does this pack provide for practice?
The pack introduces five distinct songs for practice and performance:
- "Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight"
- "Big Bottom"
- "Stonehenge"
- "Gimme Some Money"
- "Sex Farm"
Crucially, alongside the note charts for these songs, each track comes bundled with a new, authentic tone. This means players gain access to specific digital amplifier and effects settings designed to emulate the sound profile used by Spinal Tap when recording these pieces, adding a layer of sonic authenticity to the learning experience.
Gameplay Mechanics and Scope
The gameplay mechanics remain identical to the parent title, Rocksmith 2014. Players use a real electric guitar or bass connected via the required Rocksmith Real Tone Cable to follow the on-screen prompts, simulating the experience of playing the instrument. This pack does not introduce any new modes or systems; it simply populates the existing song library with these five new entries.
Scope Comparison
In terms of scope, this is a focused, song-based expansion. It is comparable in quality to other official song packs released for the title, offering a brief but specific set of learning opportunities centered around a particular musical theme.
Audience Appeal and Requirements
The appeal is centered on the niche musical interest in Spinal Tap. For fans of the band who also use the Rocksmith platform as a practice tool, this pack offers the opportunity to learn specific, recognizable songs while utilizing dedicated, professionally modeled tones that match the source material.
This content is strictly an add-on; it is not a standalone product and requires the base game, Rocksmith 2014, to function on PC (Microsoft Windows).
