Sex Pistols have re-recorded their classic song "Anarchy in the U.K." for use in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock, due out this month. The band got together in the studio (minus original bassist Glen Matlock, or his replacement, the inconveniently dead Sid Vicious) for the first time since the 1970s. They even used the same analog sound desk they used back in the day, which was built for George Martin in the late 60s. It really is the perfect Guitar Hero song, because it was one of the tracks that inspired thousands of teenagers to pick up guitars and rock out in the late 70s. Why not just license the original master tape for the game? Umm, well, you see, they can't find it. That's right, the master tape of what became one of the seminal records of the burgeoning punk movement is missing, probably sitting in a box in someone's closet somewhere, collecting dust.
