Brian May digs his LEGO RB character, had hair demands photo

Brian May's signature hair had to be nothing short of perfect for his appearance in LEGO Rock Band.

Speaking to Yahoo! News UK, the Queen guitarist said "I think my LEGO character is wonderful. I want one. We had discussions about the hair, there were a few emails. They had to negotiate to use my likeness, but it's a nice thing."

For once, a musician was actually happy about their portrayal in a videogame. As phenomenal as Queen looks in LEGO Rock Band, I can see why. Better yet, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott called May to say "he was pissed off because they didn't make one of him."

A story like that's gotta be true.

Fuck yeah it is. He recently wrote some theory that's supposedly making waves in tge astrophycist community. Tge Nan is a genius basically and I'm glad to hear he's happy with his Lego self.

Also just like to mention if they sold Queen minifigures I'd buy 80.

Well, of course THIS musician's happy - their license was actually used correctly. The Lego Celebrity only appears during their respective song, and you can't choose them for anything else.
