Activision & RedOctane har haft held til at samle Sex Pistols (eller det som nu er tilbage af dem) til en geninspilning af deres “Anarchy in the U.K.” til det kommende Guitar Hero III. Kynisk betragtet, er det dog nok ingen tilfældighed at Sex Pistols “sælger ud” nu, hvor deres eneste album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols” har 30 års jubilæum i næste måned. “Pladen” vil blive genudsendt i originalt format på vinyl i næste måned. Det skal blive interessant at holde op med præcis, hvornår det går op for Sex Pistols, at deres nye publikum ikke aner hvad en pladespiller er.
SUNNYVALE, CA – September 25, 2007 – Activision, Inc. announced today that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Sex Pistols, who famously turned down the award, recently returned to the studio to re-record “Anarchy in the U.K.,” which will be included in Guitar Hero™ III: Legends of Rock as a master track. Now, fans can perform their own live version of the punk anthem in the next installment of the #1 best-selling music and rhythm video game franchise.
John Lydon stated that “Re-recording them [the songs]-what a stress you put on us but we rose to the occasion I think…admirably!” Adding that, “a bit of anarchy in a video game is alright by me.”
“It was great for Guitar Hero to, in a way, get us back in the studio. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out but it actually turned out great and I think everyone held their own,” said Steve Jones. “I like it [Guitar Hero] because my friends’ kids like it. And I like what kids like.”
“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 are proud to have joined forces with such a legendary and influential band as The Sex Pistols for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock,” said Kai Huang, president and co-founder of RedOctane. “We are very excited to partner with them on their 30th Anniversary and expose them to an entirely new generation of fans through the game.”


























Man skal dælme ikke undervurdere vinyl fanatikerne. Mange af mine kammerater sværger til formatet, og jeg har da også selv nogle stykker stående. Desværre er min pladespiller afgået ved døden.
Jeg køber også vinyl’er – ser godt ud når de hænger på væggen. Samtidigt kommer der også spændende og eksklusive udgivelser til vinyl, som cd markedet ikke får.
Baby Woodrose og Peter Belli med “Nok af dig” kom kun som mp3 download eller vinyl.
