Mark Horton/Getty ImagesAxl Rose hasn’t released any new music in over 10 years, but did he sneak a new track into an episode of New Looney Tunes?
The Guns N’ Roses frontman — or, at least, an animated likeness of him — appeared on a recent installment of the show, which continues the adventures of the Looney Tunes gang on the Boomerang streaming service.
In the episode, Bugs Bunny and company run into Rose, who’s planning to play a concert later that day. However, the show’s been canceled due to a massive asteroid hurtling towards the Earth. In order to save the day, Axl and the Looney Tunes start playing a new song called “Rock the Rock,” Rose’s first new material since 2008’s Chinese Democracy, which turns the asteroid into a little pebble.
Also in the clip, Rose pokes fun at his past sartorial choices and suggests at one point that he should “go back to wearing a mesh jersey and a kilt on stage.”
While it does sounds like Axl is talking and singing in the episode, it’s unclear whether it’s actually his voice. ABC Radio has reached out for confirmation.
Rose is certainly a fan of Looney Tunes — Guns N’ Roses used the original show’s iconic theme song as intro music during their Not in This Lifetime reunion tour.
