Staind and Seether are out on the road together, and to mark that tour seven of their songs are free to play on Rocksmith+ from September 18 at 7AM PST to September 21 at 7AM PST, on PC, PS5, PS4, iOS, and Android, with no subscription needed. For us this is also how music is meant to be lived: in a room full of people, instruments in hand, watching songs played live by the bands who wrote them.
The run opened on September 8 and the occasion is a big one. Staind are celebrating 25 years of Break The Cycle by playing the 2001 album live in its entirety, from For You and Epiphany to It's Been Awhile, Fade and Outside.
Seether are right there with them in direct support, bringing two decades of their own catalogue to the stage: Fine Again, off their 2002 debut Disclaimer, and Fake It, the single that took them to number one on American rock radio. The main leg runs through mid-October across North American amphitheaters and arenas. Dates are on the Staind tour page.
These seven songs are part of the Rocksmith+ song library, and for one weekend they are open to everyone: no subscription needed to play them. Learn them on guitar, bass or piano before your date, then sing along with the crowd.
