I was in high school when somehow the entire student body burst into a spontaneous version of “We Will Rock You”. I didn’t like the song then, but I’ve witnessed it become a parody of itself to the point that I can’t help but love that it now exists.
Bionicles are some sort of equivalent to that song. Although I love watching my son create new beings with their endless combinations, and there is something truly great about how the design of the pieces practice a “complicated is cool” devotion, they also possess the same bombastic essence as Queen’s clobbering beat.
I am waiting for some genius to make the great comical animated Bionicle video for us all to laugh with, but for now this clip’s closing guitar solo gets some serious props.
