Iggy Pop goes shirtless for Lego Rock Band
by Ben Gilbert 
{ Sep 12th 2009 at 9:00PM } 
Jeux Video discovered the images, as well as a bit of gameplay with the iconic Stooges frontman. Unfortunately, the one major problem with licensing your likeness to a Lego game persists: You just look like a generic Lego dude! Is that Iggy Pop above? Sure, why not! People that could also be include, but are not limited to, certain versions of Eric Stoltz, and a muscle-bound Edgar Winter.

What is suppose to be the attraction to this game, than just lego figures?
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 12th 2009 9:09PM
I'll buy it if it includes Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall".
Dr. Robotnik, Evil Genius Extraordinaire @ Sep 12th 2009 9:17PM
If that becomes a confirmed song Mr. SpyderTaco, then I will build myself a time machine, go forward in time, and come back with that game.
Marius @ Sep 12th 2009 9:36PM
blah what happened to my avatar
Demaar @ Sep 12th 2009 10:46PM
The cheesy ass songs like Final Countdown and the Ghostbusters theme. Also there's silly mini-games like destroying buildings by doing better in songs or whatever. I dunno, haven't really looked into it cause the set list sells the game on its own.

I think this game is supposed to appeal more to kids than the other rock band games.
pete @ Sep 13th 2009 1:57AM
couldn't this be any old dude who is shirtless? This has to be the laziest form of celebrity representation I've ever seen. At least the in the other lego games you weren't supposed to be looking at an ACTUAL person.
nextgen @ Sep 13th 2009 8:46AM
I want a Will Arnett / Arrested Development Gob Bluth in a magician out fit to sing the
Final Countdown
Rob @ Sep 13th 2009 6:58PM
Nothing. It's just an excuse to release YET ANOTHER music game, because they are ridiculously easy to churn out and sell like hotcakes [to hungry idiots].
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 12th 2009 9:09PM
Get Jack Thompson on the phone.
Fuzzy @ Sep 12th 2009 9:08PM
Iggy Pop was never the frontman for MC5, guys. As far as I know, he never even worked with them. I think you got the MC5 mixed up with the Stooges.
Durden @ Sep 12th 2009 9:15PM
You're right. When I read that I had to go back and make sure we were still talking about Iggy.
Nightclubbing is my favorite!
KampfVerein @ Sep 12th 2009 9:10PM
Uh, stop me if you've heard this one, but I don't remember Iggy Pop even being a member of MC5, much less the frontman. I believe he was in a band called...oh, damn, I forget the fellow's name...somesuch and the Stooges. Yes, that's right.
KampfVerein @ Sep 12th 2009 9:10PM
Ninja'd and so forth.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 12th 2009 9:15PM
"stop me if you've heard this one" is usually said before a joke...
I want my 10 seconds back.
Darius @ Sep 12th 2009 9:11PM
Iggy Pop: not part of MC5. He fronted the Stooges.
Dr. Robotnik, Evil Genius Extraordinaire @ Sep 12th 2009 9:12PM
Guest appearences?
...
Can a shirtless dude be on a game for kids?
Dr. Robotnik, Evil Genius Extraordinaire @ Sep 12th 2009 9:15PM
Harmonix better double-check that Iggy Pop contract and make sure I can use his shirtless glory for "You Give Love a Bad Name" without being sued.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 12th 2009 9:16PM
That doesn't make sense because Iggy Pop isn't dead.
Dr. Robotnik, Evil Genius Extraordinaire @ Sep 12th 2009 9:19PM
People sue for all kinds of crap these days just to make a quick buck. I wouldn't be surprised...
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 12th 2009 9:12PM
Where are David Bowie and Klaus Nomi?
Charles @ Sep 12th 2009 9:24PM
A Klaus reference. Nice.
Iroquois @ Sep 12th 2009 9:46PM
A Venture Bros reference. Nice.
Flo @ Sep 13th 2009 1:43AM
ahhh I love venture brothers, can't wait till season 4.
R @ Sep 12th 2009 9:21PM
why does his chest look like a womans face?
Dr. Robotnik, Evil Genius Extraordinaire @ Sep 12th 2009 9:23PM
What woman's face looks like that, you mother's?
BleachMan! @ Sep 12th 2009 9:23PM
CAN'T UNSEE
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 12th 2009 9:39PM
holy crap he's right, at the bottom. Oh God...
Jawmuncher @ Sep 12th 2009 9:42PM
OMFG
Someone needs to make that picture a "When you see it you will shit bricks" picture ASAP!
Jawmuncher @ Sep 12th 2009 9:48PM
When ahead and made it :3

Rax Dakkar @ Sep 12th 2009 10:49PM
Exactly what I thought. Looks like a princess wearing a hat and closing her eyes.
The Baron @ Sep 12th 2009 11:27PM
Looks more like the original C&C cover to me.
WINterfang @ Sep 13th 2009 12:36AM
Looks like the new princess/sword from New Zelda Wii.
...or the owner of superJail.
pete @ Sep 13th 2009 1:55AM
jawnmuncher can you get any more lame?
Sly Cooper, Attorney at Law @ Sep 12th 2009 9:26PM
so first jack white, and now shirtless iggy pop? (you know the lego dude looked like jack white even if he's not confirmed to be in the game)
Filthy Assistant @ Sep 12th 2009 10:00PM
I've been wondering if that was actually supposed to be Jack since the first pictures came out. I found it odd nobody mentioned it.
Sly Cooper, Attorney at Law @ Sep 12th 2009 10:21PM
i remember like 2 or 3 people, along with myself, mentioning it when the screen showed up.
Jesus (PSN: Luttdawg) @ Sep 12th 2009 10:31PM
I believe that even though some White Stripes songs are in Guitar Hero games, Jack White is one of those artists who says negative things about music games.
Sly Cooper, Attorney at Law @ Sep 12th 2009 10:49PM
not just white stripe songs, but raconteurs songs too.
captainprotonx @ Sep 12th 2009 9:27PM
Egh...er....ugh.
Special Agent Steve @ Sep 12th 2009 9:33PM
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Me @ Sep 12th 2009 9:36PM
His chest does look like a woman's face! It's like one of those optical illusions that after you see the picture in it, you always can see the picture.
Iroquois @ Sep 12th 2009 9:48PM
So wait, maybe I missed this, but when did Rock Band turn into Guitar Hero and start including celebrity appearances, Lego or no? (The Beatles Rock Band aside)
Iroquois @ Sep 12th 2009 9:50PM
Besides, what Lego-Rock-Band-playing young(ish) kid is even going to know who Iggy Pop is?
zeepo9260 @ Sep 13th 2009 6:26PM
I was wondering that myself. It is also a bad sign. GH started going downhill when it started using celebs like that and making other incarnations of their games (ex. GH Aerosmith is the same game as GH 3, where the only thing different is its with an Aerosmith them). In this game Rock Band will be doing both in just one game.
VaultICEE @ Sep 13th 2009 8:25PM
Yeah, this is extremely disappointing to me. I know Traveler's Tales is running the show and not Harmonix, but seriously. Celebrity musicians should not be in music games unless its mainly celebrating their music and not just the game that they're being put in. :/
Matthew Perry @ Sep 12th 2009 9:49PM
He should have been in GH5. Hell, if he really wanted to be in RB, then wait for RB3.
Being in the game as a Lego figure is like not being in the game at all.
Dr. Robotnik, Evil Genius Extraordinaire @ Sep 12th 2009 9:56PM
Go play Guitar Hero 5 and stop putting in stupid comments on Rock Band posts.
Alexander @ Sep 12th 2009 10:06PM
Is it just me, but are the graphics bad? I mean c'mon and look at it, the characters are all blocky. (Yes, I'm joking)
Number_Zero @ Sep 12th 2009 10:09PM
Has Iggy Pop ever worn a shirt? I am pretty sure he just walks around shirtless everywhere.
