News: Iconic band will re-record 'Anarchy in the UK' for GH3.
Activision has announced that punk rock pioneers The Sex Pistols will reunite to re-record "Anarchy in the UK" for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The original master track for the song has apparently been lost to the ages and this was Activision's solution for how to include the song in the game in its original form.
According to Activision, original members John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon, guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook re-teamed with producer Chris Thomas and used the original analog sound desk (circa 1969) at Air Studios, London, England in order to recreate the classic sound.
"Guitar Hero fans have been requesting more punk rock in the game since its first iteration," said Tim Riley, Activision worldwide executive of music. "We are honored that The Sex Pistols went into the studio after 30 years, so that we could have a song from the most renowned punk band of all time in the game."
We'll have more on Guitar Hero III soon.
