Marketplace Rating: 0 |  Queen in Rock Band (finally)!
Just because I haven't seen a post dedicated to this info that people should know...
Harmonix, via their 'zine, have revealed that Queen will be hitting DLC October 20th! They've also released the titles to be included in the 10 song pack: Another One Bites the Dust Crazy Little Thing Called Love Fat Bottomed Girls I Want It All I Want To Break Free Killer Queen One Vision Somebody To Love Tie Your Mother Down Under Pressure
Personally, I would have picked some different songs... but I can't disagree with this setup, either. For the record, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" are supposedly included in Lego Rock Band, explaining their absence. As for the question of where "Bohemian Rhapsody" is, I suspect it has to do something with the terrible condition of the master tapes. During recording, they used so many overdubs that there's an audible tape hiss throughout the song. They fixed this with the remaster for the Greatest Hits collection, but it's still there on the tapes.
This all said, I would have included "The Show Must Go On" for the absolutely INSANE vocal acrobatics Freddie pulls off, but there's always the hope for a second Queen track pack.

Bohemian Rhapsody, whilst being a good song, would suck in Rock Band. I dislike how everyone expects it to be included when it obviously wouldn't work! Now for a game like Lips or Singstar that's understandable it be included, but definately not this.
I'll probably pick up about 5 or 6 of the partyish tracks. | |

nice variety for this pack | No Stone Cold Crazy, no Bohemian Rhapsody, no Innuendo, no Bicycle Race, and especially no The Show Must Go On pretty heavily imply a Queen Pack 2.
Speculation currently is that they're saving BoRhap for RB3, in which they will implement vocal harmonies a la Rock Band Beatles. Given the vocal centricism of the song and the promised upcoming "jump in to play an instrument" features, I'm guessing it's a good guess.
But the other three? Man, those would be awesome. I challenge Harmonix to come up with a harder song on vocals than TSMGO.

If not then I take back what I said earlier, Bohemian Rhapsody would be amazing on Rock Band if it got harmonies! | |

So many songs on Rock Band would be awesome with the addition of harmonies. I know it probably won't happen, but it'd be incredible if the DLC/On-Disc tracks they've already released that had potential harmonies in them got updated to support it.

Bohemian Rhapsody is too big of a song to be flat-out ignored. It's all speculation at this point, but there's plenty of signs... and sometimes, speculation can wind up correct.

We have to consider though that some of the data might already exist in our game and just isn't accessible. Why this conclusion? Anyone who got the DLC Skullcrusher Mountain for RB1 might remember that it had some sliding chords in it that had to be strummed (RB1 didn't have the HOPO chords at the time) and when played on RB2, the song had them as HOPOs without having to re-DL the song. Not sure the actual way this was programmed, but it makes me think that Harmonix isn't as nearsighted as we might be thinking they are. | |

YES PLEASE.
Also, for ideas of a Queen Pack 02, I'd put forward Now I'm Here, Headlong, Don't Stop Me Now and as an outsider, Princes of the Universe.

Great lineup of Queen songs for Rock Band, but not exactly half the songs I was expecting. Hopefully we will see that Queen pack 2 come out with some of the other songs.
I do wish Don't Stop Me Now and Bohemian Rhapsody was included, but for obvious reasons I can see why both were not included (lack of instruments in both tracks). | |
