LEGO David Bowie joins LEGO Iggy in LEGO Rock Band photo

We're still trying to come to grips with the fact that a LEGO version of the legendary Iggy Pop will appear in LEGO Rock Band

Now this: He (it?) is going to be joined by a LEGO-ized David Bowie, whose song "Let's Dance" will be a playable track in the game. According to USA Today's Game Hunters, the animations for the bricked Bowie, his band, and the in-game venue will loosely be based on the music video for the song

Fun fact: Bowie lent his vocals to the Iggy Pop track "The Passenger," which also appears on LEGO Rock Band. Coincidence? Maybe? Probably.

Game Hunters also mentions that "more musicians involved in the game will be announced later." What other LEGO versions of musicians do you want -- no, forget that... NEED! -- in LEGO Rock Band

Heh, even down to his mismatched eyes.... yeah, some tracks of the albums Bowie produced for Iggy, Lust for Life and The Idiot would be a real treat. I love "Some Weird Sin"

Which Bowie are we going to get -
Bowie circa 1972 Ziggy Stardust?
Bowie from the 1982 video Ashes to Ashes?
1986 David Bowie from the movie "Labyrinth"?

Fact of the day pop fans! David Bowie doesn't have different coloured eyes, he has a damaged pupil that makes one eye look darker than the other.

I just want a David Bowie game. It doesn't even need to be about his music. I mean there's already tons of video game characters that looks like Bowie. Why not have like David Bowie presents: Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars?

You're looking for Omikron: The Nomad Soul.

My guess is that having Slayer as Legos is out of the question. isn't it?

i always thought the lego games were stupid and pointless. can't be bothered to make a proper game? just use legos instead!

now we're reaching new heights of ridiculousness. the only excuse i've heard for the existence of lego games is that they are fun for kids. how many kids these days listen to iggy pop and bowie?

whoever came up with this concept should have been fired on the spot.

Kinda strange they got his eyes totally wrong. They're both blue and one just has a smaller pupil than the other.

I didn't care about this game in the least till I read this.

And now the novelty has already worn off.

If Harmonix had started adding real musicians to their normal games, a la Guitar Hero, I'd be pissed. But somehow, these Lego versions work. They're cute and fun. I'm surprised this game is shaping up so well.
