Say it with us, friends, in a high-pitched, sing-song voice:
Queen is coming to Rock Band! A rumor we heard in late August claiming
Harmonix is planning to bring a slew of Freddie Mercury-voiced tunes to its rhythm platform is true. In the last week of October, the Music Store will be visited by the following tracks:
- Another One Bites The Dust
- Crazy Little Thing Called Love
- One Vision
- Fat Bottomed Girls
- I Want It All
- I Want to Break Free
- Killer Queen
- Somebody to Love
- Tie Your Mother Down
- Under Pressure
We wonder if they'll be available as a collection called "All The Good Ones Except for Bohemian Rhapsody."

I will download these the first second they are available.
fundando @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:06PM
I got some money floating in my PSN. Now I know where it's going.
NoughtSoClever @ Oct 2nd 2009 4:10PM
Where does my money go! I need to give them my money RIGHT NOW!!
Pascual @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:33PM
Where the fuck is Bohemian Rhapsody!
NinjaJesus @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:42PM
No Bohemian Rhapsody? What is this? I don't even...
Julian @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:04PM
On the Rock Band 3 disc.
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Oct 2nd 2009 9:49PM
Bohemian Rhapsody is like 75% piano and vocals. That does not really lend itself to Rock Band. Unless they pull a Guitar Hero and have you play all the piano notes on the guitar.
Pascual @ Oct 3rd 2009 5:30AM
...It’s Bohemian Rhapsody!
Slust @ Oct 16th 2009 12:40PM
It doesn't matter. Whether you were there for Bohemian Rhapsody, or if you just watched Wayne's World, it is ESSENTIAL.
BxGT @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:34PM
I dont think Bohemian Rhapsody would be a good fit, dont get me wrong its an amazing song but just imagine the intro to foreplay/longtime times 3.
bongoes the Black Lantern @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:56PM
Don't you talk about my favorite song of all time like that.
VaultBoy @ Oct 2nd 2009 5:37PM
No. Really. The first three minutes of that song is mostly vocals and piano. Let's not ruin Rock Band by making the guitar player play the piano parts *cough* GH5 *cough*.
VaultBoy @ Oct 2nd 2009 5:39PM
I cannot deny the EPICness of Bohemian Rhapsody, but there is the above mentioned fact to consider. Then again I wouldn't mind faking the piano parts on the guitar if it would get the song in the game.
hobocop @ Oct 3rd 2009 12:08AM
you realize you contradicted yourself in the span of 2 minutes
Ana @ Oct 5th 2009 4:43PM
It'll be available for Piano Hero along with great songs like Great Balls of Fire and Moonlight Sonata.
FAnchax @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:36PM
OMG Killer Queen! Time to buy rock band now
Danny @ Oct 2nd 2009 6:24PM
Or smash hits...
VaultICEE @ Oct 3rd 2009 12:22AM
Or Guitar Hero 1
Discotheque @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:36PM
Nice! Now all I need is U2. There are a ridiculous amount of tracks from their career that would be epic in this game.
uncle jesse @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:15PM
Hold me, Kiss me, Thrill me, Kill me
Where the Streets Have No Name
Vertigo
That would be an awesome U2 pack right there that would work for all parts in RB and fit in perfectly. Even though I would secretly really want to sing With or Without You alone in my basement...
marauder30 (psn: darthmilasmentor, xbl: huskerblackshrt) @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:17PM
Vertigo? Seriously?
ZaxCG2 @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:18PM
They're saving up for Rock Band U2.
uncle jesse @ Oct 2nd 2009 4:19PM
I'm not listing my favourite U2 songs, just the ones I think would work really well in RB. Vertigo would be fun to play on any instrument.
They have a massive library to choose from. Actually, now that I think about it more, it would be pretty sweet to be singing out "Sunday, Bloody Sunday!" on the mic with those drums going.
Discotheque @ Oct 2nd 2009 5:12PM
4 words:
Bullet the Blue Sky
the_pop @ Oct 2nd 2009 6:28PM
U2 are terrible.
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!
Discotheque @ Oct 2nd 2009 7:14PM
Oh we have another moron judging them on one of their latest efforts. Grow some taste and get a brain.
Jordan @ Oct 2nd 2009 9:45PM
Actually, I think No Line on the Horizon was a fantastically rockin' album. I could see I'll Go Crazy or Breathe in Rock Band (Breathe is so good live, it really has a great punch to it). How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb... meh. The Fly from Achtung Baby would be AMAZING and so would Mysterious Ways. A Rock Band U2 pack would just be fantastic.
frzamonkey @ Oct 3rd 2009 3:57AM
one, two, three, twenty.
Ashitaka @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:39PM
We wonder if they'll be available as a collection called "All The Good Ones Except for Bohemian Rhapsody."
Aha, nice one :P I think that that song will be saved for another pack, Queen still have a lot of good songs that weren't included!
Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, You're My Best Friend, It's A Hard Life... They have so many great songs :')
Ad134 @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:41PM
WWRY and WATC will be in lego rock band. They're possibly saving Bo Rap for RB3, harmonies and all that.
Drumminjay108 @ Oct 2nd 2009 8:00PM
We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions are both going to be in Lego Rock Band which should able to put those songs onto RB2.
halebound00 @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:42PM
"All The Good Ones Except for Bohemian Rhapsody." You're kldding, right? What about "We are the Champions" and "Don't Stop Me Now?" LOL, now I have to go watch Shawn of the Dead.
Hafkie @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:44PM
"We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions" is in Lego Rock Band.
Ryan @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:45PM
We Are the Champions is in Lego: Rock Band, along with We Will Rock You.
And expect Bohemian Rhapsody (with Harmonies) in Rock Band 3. That seems most likely.
anthony @ Oct 2nd 2009 5:52PM
dont forget about "you're my best friend"
Mr Numeros @ Oct 2nd 2009 9:25PM
Bicycle Race
Radio Ga Ga
Who Wants to Live Forever
These.
Fane [A-MF Brigade] @ Oct 3rd 2009 1:44AM
Innuendo Breakthru Headlong Hammer To Fall One Vision These. Plus all the ones others have listed.
Fane [A-MF Brigade] @ Oct 3rd 2009 1:48AM
Dammit. I overlooked One Vision. The list of 10 is awesome, despite all the omissions.
Hafkie @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:43PM
How am I supposed to be having a good time without Don't Stop Me Now?
Pretty neat pack though, I have five of those on GH, but I'm all for downloading the rest.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:43PM
No don't stop me now? : (
Dirty @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:45PM
Ha, I think the lack of guitars for the majority of the song is the problem. Would be great on singstar or Lips though.
Ashitaka @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:25PM
@ Dirty
That's why there already exists a SingStar Queen ^^
moo083 @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:34PM
Yeah, but Singstar expansions suck. Its a separate disc, when they could just have easily offered this stuff on the SingStore and I could use one disc to play all the SingStar music I have. It just makes Sony look money hungry at the cost of useability. Kinda sad actually.
Kazper @ Oct 2nd 2009 8:23PM
Uhhh. I have 19 Queen songs on my Singstar - all downloaded from the Singstore - and a few more I haven't gotten yet. I'm guessing it's a difference between US and EU rights of distribution? Because they sure are available here in Europe.
gamepete64 @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:43PM
Somebody to love, YES!!
Dirty @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:44PM
No "Dont stop me now"? They need a freaking piano periph, now that's a hunk of plastic I would buy.
swimtedswim @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:48PM
at this point they should just make an rockband ipod that you plug into your console
Hafkie @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:48PM
I think they could always do it the way Neversoft did Sympathy for the Devil on GH5. Just play the piano on the guitar until the Guitar Solo. I know it's not "correct", but neither company has been completely "correct" with their charting (I could point out dozens of examples for both GH and RB, but I'm not going to bother)
Eric @ Oct 2nd 2009 3:07PM
i LOVE THAT SONG!!
Phizzy @ Oct 2nd 2009 2:46PM
Is that a boner in my pants or am I just having an erection?
