Massive Queen DLC for Rock Band next week

by: Dan - - Add a Comment
This is one DLC I have been waiting for more than any, as more Queen tracks with lots of keyboard enabled songs are coming next week to Rock Band.  Harmonix I bringing us nine tracks, including some of Queen's biggest hits which should make especially vocalists very happy.  Out of the nine, six will be keyboard enabled and two will have the Pro Guitar/Bass option.  I am excited, as the songs cover a large swath of Queen's career from 1974's Sheer Heart Attack until 1994's Innuendo, their last Studio album right before Freddy passed away.
