Literally. He stars with fellow Looney Toons cast members as they try to defeat an asteroid heading for earth. The song(the first new music from Axl in years)is appropriately titled “Rock The Rock” written not by Rose nor his bandmates but by Looney Tunes’ Rob Janas and Joshua Funk. The New Looney Tunes episode, titled “Armageddon Outta Here, Part Two,” aired in late December, but Boomerang only just confirmed that the character and song are indeed voiced by Rose. Axl has been kind of coy when talking about GNR coming out with new music saying ” “You never know.” Slash has kind of beat-around-the-bush when the topic of new music cmoes up saying “If it happens, it happens — great. And I would love to see that happen, and I’m sure that’s pretty much universal with all of us. But it’s just a matter of we’ve been touring this entire time since we got back together, so there’s nothing etched in stone as far as a plan is concerned.” GNR’s other guitarist Richard Fortus was a little more direct saying “We’re going to try and do another record and get it out soon. The band’s so great right now. I think it will happen faster than you think. I sure hope it happens faster than you think.”
In the meantime, enjoy Axl Animated.
