The only thing better than original master recordings in a rhythm game is having the original artists go back and do the whole thing over again, and Guitar Hero: World Tour is boasting three separate re-recordings on its set list when the game hits store shelves. In addition to The Sex Pistols’ “Pretty Vacant” and Motorhead’s “Overkill”, MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer has recruited a little help and hit the studio to re-record the classic “Kick Out the Jams”. The new recording uses the original vocals from singer Rob Tyner from 1968, with Kramer, Alice in Chains (the press release says Alice “and” Chains) guitarist Jerry Cantrell and former Guns ‘N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke.

I’m not quite sold myself. 1968 vocals with new music tracks? That’s like serving vintage wine with Kraft singles. It still works, and is indeed somewhat palatable, but it isn’t going to get you laid, which is the major reason people played rock music in the late 60′s in the first place.
