Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose’s new song “Rock The Rock” is registered on BMI as being written by Joshua Funk and Rob Janas. Joshua Funk writes music for the show Wabbit, which the Axl Rose Looney Tunes song and performance appeared on. The publisher is Warner-Barham Music LLC. It is unclear of Funk and Janas recorded all of the instrumentals, or if other musicians were brought in, but it seems unlikely that Slash, Angus Young, or any members of Guns N’ Roses or AC/DC were involved.
A MyGNRForum member attempted to decipher some of the lyrics to the song, which you can view below.
Gentlemen, it’s time to rock the rock
Turn it up
Make it loud
Get your guitar ready to scream
Hit the drums
And the bass(?)
We’re a sonic demolition team
You gotta rock the rock
????
Rock the rock
With a stone ???? sound
Oh rock the rock
????
Rock the rock
It’s trouble makin’ time
[Guitar solo]
????
Get in the ring ????
We’re employed to destroy
We’re a rock ‘n’ roll wrecking ball
You gotta rock the rock
Smash it to bits
Rock the rock
With a heavy metal fist
Rock the rock
Grind it to the bone
Rock the rock
It’s a destruction zone
[Guitar solo]
Supersized, pulverized
We’re telling no lies
Rock the rock
Annihilate you
???? you
Immiserate(?) you
Rock the rock
Rock the rock
Rock the rock
Rock the rock
Rock the rock, yeah
(Rock the rock) Rock the rock
(Rock the rock) Rock the rock
Yeah
