Marc Grimwade/WireImageYep, that was Axl Rose‘s voice on New Looney Tunes. A rep for Warner Bros. Animation confirms to ABC Radio that the Guns N’ Roses frontman is indeed singing and talking on a recent episode of the animated program.
In the episode, and animated version of Rose stumbles across Bugs Bunny and company, and they all unite to play a song called “Rock the Rock” in order to stop an asteroid from destroying the Earth — you know, typical Looney Tunes stuff.
“Rock the Rock” marks the first new Axl tune to follow GNR’s 2008 album, Chinese Democracy.
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.”
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.
