Oh, and don't expect to rent Lego Rock Band and extract all of its juicy tunes to your regular old Rock Band. Remember: you'll need a special code this time around.

lol. i'm sorry. I just pictured a little 6-7 year old coming out of his room mumbling "we are the champions" and the uber-conservative mom dives down on her knees scared to death. holding her kid by the shoulders she swings her head around to her husband and screams "MY GOD BEN, OUR SON HAS CAUGHT THE GAY!"

Will the export license go both ways?
I know I'll want to add Lego's tracks to my already large list of RB2 DLC but suppose there's some stuff I want to play block-ified, too?

They've announced that previous Rock Band DLC will work in Lego Rock Band, with the caveat that some songs will be filtered out for non-family-friendly content, like drug references.
We'll have to see what gets filtered once the game comes out. It could be amusing to see what slips through, or frustrating if the filtering's a bit aggressive. "White Rabbit," for instance is about drugs, but mostly references Alice in Wonderland, a kid's story. Will that fly? I kinda doubt it.
Since the notion of what's appropriate for a family game will definitely differ from person to person, I think some folks will be fine with the selection, and some folks will be bummed.

I'll buy this on the cheap for sure. I'm not willing to buy another music game so soon after buying Beatles Rock Band.
Man, Freddie's got a very good voice. It's going to kill my lungs. What's next? Pavarotti Hero?

The Queen is the best rock band of all times.
Period.
All Beatles fans can go to hell.

Why are you comparing Queen and the Beatles in the first place?

Goddamn. Queen is the best band ever, with so many great songs, and the two that people continually fixate on are friggin "We are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You". Those aren't even two of their better songs. "How about Seven Seas of Rhye" or "Hammer to Fall"?

Those 2 songs (we will rock you and we are the champions) are the only songs those guys know. They are just jumping on the bandwagon without knowing fuck all about Queen. Personally my 2 fave songs are Big Bottomed girls and Killer Queen. Both of those are coming to Rock Band 2 on Thursday....:D

It'd be cool if lego included Queen Minifigures with the game.
Or they could pull another 'White Stripes'.

I can't get the video to run smoothly, so I'm not sure that this applies to L:RB, but in TB:RB overdrive for drums works more or less as in RB2, but the fills are replaced with the normal charts and you only have to hit the final crash note to engage overdrive. I prefer it, but would rather have a hybrid that shows the normal charts, but allows fills.

Please don't let them gimp the Wii version and let it not have access to the DLC... :-/
