You read the headline right. Along with two playable Queen tracks -- "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" -- the band will also be making an appearance in LEGO Rock Band. As LEGO minifigures, of course.
Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor have all been given the brick treatment for the upcoming title, scheduled to hit stores sometime in early November. The band joins other artists also getting bricked, including all of Blur, David Bowie, and Iggy Pop.
To quote my wife on LEGO Freddie Mercury: "He's absolutely mesmerizing. I can't take my eyes off of him... er, it."
I wish Freddy could could see himself now. Chumming it as a Logo brickman. Taking on the forces of Taylor Swift's virtual doll with his band, Bowie, and Iggy.
I would so love to see that battle of the bands. Make it happen machinomists!
