The Sex Pistols recently entered the studio together for the first time since the late ’70s to re-record their classic hit, “Anarchy in the U.K.,” for “Guitar Hero III” when game publisher Activision was unable to locate the original multi-tracks for the song.
Pistols frontman John Lydon expressed his feelings about the event in typical style saying, “Re-recording them [the songs]–what a stress you put on us but we rose to the occasion I think…admirably!”
The singer went on to say he approved of the whole concept because “a bit of anarchy in a video game is alright by me.”
