Is this the first new song from Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose in more than a decade?
An episode of the streaming series The New Looney Tunes features the rocker as the lead singer of a band called Steel Underpants, whose tour bus has been destroyed.
Warned that an asteroid is threatening the planet, Bugs Bunny asks his cartoon friends: “Are you guys thinking what I’m thinking?”
Rose responds: “That I should go back to wearing a mesh jersey and kilt again?”
But, Bugs’ plan is for the gang to perform so loudly with Rose that they destroy the asteroid.
Rose belts out “Rock the Rock,” a song that sounds more like something AC/DC would record. (Rose stepped in for AC/DC singer Brian Johnson for a 2016 tour.) Spoiler alert: The asteroid blows up and the world is safe.
It hasn’t been confirmed that Rose voiced the character but if he didn’t, Guns N’ Roses just found themselves an alternate frontman. Some fans have pointed out that GN’R played the Looney Tunes theme before taking the stage during the band’s Not In This Lifetime Tour.
