Holy shit. Lego did it. They included Lego David Bowie in Lego Rock Band, and I am powerless to resist buying the game. Hell, I'll probably buy four or five, just on principle. However, I do hope -- I pray -- that there will be unlockable skins for Bowie, specifically Lego Ziggy Stardust, Lego cover of Aladdin Sane, and more. And I'd sell my soul to Satan if Lego actually made figures of these guys, including Iggy Pop (as previously mentioned). Although, if I'm going to sell my soul to Satan, I should probably ask that Lego Goblin King be a Bowie version in the game and a toy, too. You hear me, Satan? Let's make this happen! (Via USA Today)

Yeah, 'cause I needed another reason to get the game.

No dice! You already tainted your soul with all of those Fan Fic Fridays you have posted here.

Of all the Bowie incarnations, they picked Blonde Eighties Bowie? I still loved him, but even DB would admit it was not his height of awesome.
Also, do NOT let me near the mike if you play Bowie on Rock Band. You will be sorry.

Lego Rock band
Jamming good with me and Iggy!
And the spiders from mars!
He played with weird shaped hand
But made it too far
Became the lego man
Then we were Lego fans

Now all we need is the LEGO Klaus Nomi, and the Venture Brothers reference shall be complete.

Wow what's next? Lego KISS with no make up? Lego van halen when the lead singer was the guy from xtreem? This is the most boring Bowie possible is my point. I'd rather have had labyrinth Bowie. Singing only labyrinth songs. Hell, even diamond dog Bowie with Lego testicles. Zoolander cameo Bowie would have even been slghtly more exciting.

They aren't able to make a Labyrinth Bowie because Lego doesn't make bricks big enough to build the Goblin King's codpiece!

I'm hoping there's a Lego Mick Jagger on the way, so I can recreate Dave & Mick's legendary video for "Dancing in the Streets".
Even better, If they make an Angela Bowie Lego, I can recreate the also legendary "Angie catches Dave in bed with Mick" moment. (Bedroom set, divorce papers and bi-curiosity sold seperately)

What? No Jermaine Clement as Bowie? Boo-urns.
grr. No Frank Zappa Lego? I'd settle for a Lego Central Scrutinizer you could make fall from the ceiling.

DUDE! THAT FUCKING KICKS SO MUCH ASS THAT THE WEIRD DUDE AT THE OTHER END OF THE BLOCK PROBABLY JUST HEARD ME CHEER ABOUT THIS!!! (And they need a Thin White Duke version in there, too... "Station to Station" is the best Bowie song in my opinion.)

seeing that Lego needs to do a rock star box set of all the ones mentioned and as for other versions of David Lego would proably do them but put them in other versions as long as they never make a David as Jareth though some of the guys mention Lego may find getting the okay too expensive to do so.

Beat me to it! I wanted to ask if the Goblin King was going to have disturbingly tight pants...

Let me know if they make a Scary Monsters harlequin Bowie, though I do happen to think that the Lets Dance Bowie is pretty hot. (Love that they did the eyes.)
