Activision has revealed Wednesday that a handful of major bands including the Sex Pistols and Motorhead have taken to the studio to re-record tracks for Guitar Hero: World Tour.

The Sex Pistols have re-made the 1977 single Pretty Vacant with the original analog sound board that was used in the earlier recording. Motorhead has re-recorded the 1979 song Overkill for the game.

Also to be featured in the game is the 1968 song from MC5 entitled Kick Out the Jams. The song will be recreated using the original vocal recording of Rob Tyner, updated with a freshly-minted instrumental performance by MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer. Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell and former Guns ‘N’ Roses rhythm guitarist Gilby Clarke also provided music for the track.

Activision Blizzard’s vice president of music affairs, Tim Riley, said of the bands’ involvement, "When highly respected artists such as MC5's Wayne Kramer, Motorhead and The Sex Pistols are willing to go back into the recording studio to re-record their music exclusively for the game, the fans win by getting a unique experience of old yet new legendary sounds."
