Sex Pistols Reunite For Guitar Hero III

Posted by Zonk on from the god-save-the-queen dept.

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."

      As Rotten said on the big mid 90's reunion tour... what's more punk than only doing it for the money?

      I mean, if true, they will be the same musicians on the same (tired old) song and dance, even the same MONO equipment... probably not even with half the intensity that made the original famous. And best of all, they will be PAID to do it all over again.

      I can hear Rotten saying this on the final take: "There's your bloody pop song, now where's my fucking check?"

      Too many people seem to think that to be a real punk you must have this this thing called "integrity", which is defined as never moving out of your moms basement and dying young of a heroine overdose. Bollocks! If someone wants to pay you to do something, do it. Even if you suck, you still got paid for it. That's punk!
