Reunited: Sex Pistols Record Tune for Guitar Hero
The Sex Pistols made their name by defying authority. Defying the video game industry, however, is quite another matter. Reports 1up.com, “Witness the awesome power and influence of popular gaming. Activision announced today that legendary punk rockers the Sex Pistols reunited to re-record their hit 1977 single, ‘Anarchy in the U.K,’ for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Original members John Lydon (Johnny Rotten), Steve Jones, and Paul Cook hit the studio together for the first time in 30 years, hooking up with original producer Chris Thomas to maintain the feel of the recording. Additionally, the original analog sound desk, built in 1969 for producer George Martin at Air Studios in London, was utilized for aural authenticity.” The new game featuring the Sex Pistols song is scheduled to hit retail outlets on October 28.
