In the episode that aired six months ago, Axl Rose's tour bus got crushed by a giant pig en route to a show that he was supposed to perform at the Civic Centre. Meanwhile, Bugs Bunny and his team are trying to figure a way out of sorting the threat of a giant asteroid making its way to blow up planet earth.

Speaking to Appetite for Distortion podcast, makers of the episode spoke about how the whole idea with Axl Rose came into existence. Writers Rob Janas and Kevin Fleming explained that the idea came after the Guns N' Roses members appeared onstage during the Not In This Lifetime tour. “The next part was trying to figure out an idea for him,” Janas explained and added, “We had a whiteboard in our office and we would always scribble up different ideas on the board, and I think one that had been living up there for a while that we hadn’t written – we just hadn’t figured it out – was the Looney Tunes gang has to destroy an asteroid.”

To this, even Fleming said that Axl Rose rocked “so hard that he literally saves the world.,” and also said, The only thing more powerful than a laser beam is rock and roll!” Divulging into how Axl Rose wanted his character to be portrayed, Fleming said, “He was able to laugh at himself and that was the coolest thing about it, and that’s why you think, ‘No wonder this dude is so successful and so cool.'”
