With DJ Hero close to release what are its chances against its own company?? Not very likely. There are several reasons for this and they are as followed.

Guitar Hero has a very successful back log of games that seem to out sell the past instalment every time a new increase to the franchise is released. On a internet poll it has shown that far more people are interested in a rock game over a DJ game. However with the release of Band Hero the pop market of songs is also going to be thrown out there so the company are actually competing against themselves in three different ways in under 4 months.

However it is certain that DJ Hero is going to be unique. The game itself is going to be at around £90 and comes with a DJ turntable controller that will let you mix and scratch your way through over one hundred songs ranging from 80s all the way to Motown and Rock. There are many artists already confirmed

However like the Guitar Hero games it is recommended that if you are actually already a DJ that you do not go and trade in your DJ Speakers and DJ Software for this game in the same way trading in your musical instruments for Guitar Hero was not a good idea.

However the game itself looks like it could be a big success to the people who are interested in being a DJ but cannot afford to take the time and money to take it up as a full time job. Just like playing the guitar, being a DJ takes a lot of time and effort to do and this is just in place for people to have a bit of fun with in the holiday season and beyond.

Queen Songs

A popular music rock band called Queen.

This is dedicated to all who played those fantastic Queen Songs. Freddie Mercury, Brain May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon,was the bands line up in 1971.

While a little research revealed they had a grand total of 39 songs on vinyl records. Remember vynil?Black and round with a hole in the middle and when scratch went click. Of course the one that anyone worth their salt knows is Queen Bohemian Rhapsody. Others which stand out are, We Will Rock You, Killer Queen.

The band started out at the end of the 1960's, when Freddie Mercury started to front the band and sang lead vocals. The album which seem to bring Queen recognition,was the album 'Sheer Heart Attack',released in 1974 and in 1975 the album 'A Night at The Opera'.

History of the band. 1968/9 -1973. Brian May,Tim Staffell joined up with drummer Roger Taylor to form a band called 'Smile' while at London's Imperial Collage. Tim Staffell was a student at Ealing Art Collage. Tim introduced Farrohk to the band and he became a great fan. Tim left to join another band called Humpy Bong. They changed the name to "Queen". The band did not really settle, until John Deacon joined as bass player in February 1971. There was the quite normal period of time while the band gelled together and not until 1974 that the band hit mainstream success. The Queen 2 album reached number 5 in the album chart and the lead single 'Seven Sea's of Rye' with reached number 10 in the UK singles chart.

Big Time beckonds.

'Sheer Heart Attack' reach number 2 in the UK and sold well in Europe,going gold in US. Then the forth album 'A Night at The Opera' really put the band in the big league. Queen songs from the album were of course the now legendary Bohemian Rhapsody and the amazing video which at the time was ground breaking visual effects. The rest they say, is history.

Sadly Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991 and John Deacon retired in 1997.
