Sex Pistols Reunite For Guitar Hero III

1up is reporting that the Sex Pistols are getting the band back together for at least one recording session. They're laying down a master track for the upcoming Guitar Hero III, for the song 'Anarchy in the U.K.'. "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 entire band never shied away from money. Rotten has always said he does things for the money. Did you ever see the Bill Grundy episode they were on for crying out loud? For the record Glenn Matlock was the original bassist in the Sex Pistols, and it is his bass lines you here on all of 'Never Mind the Bollocks.' It's funny really. He was booted from the band weeks before the recording, and Sid could not play properly. So Glenn was hired back as a studio musician, and Glenn wound up with more money in his pocket then the rest of the band after the recording sessions were over.
