The heavy metal icons appeared in 'Steal This Episode', in which they played their song 'Breaking The Law' in an attempt to lure Homer Simpson out of Springfield's Swedish embassy where he is hiding from police. The band now join the ranks of REM, Paul McCartney, Backstreet Boys, Tom Waits, Smashing Pumpkins, The White Stripes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, Lady Gaga, Sonic Youth and The Decemberists as artists who have appeared in the legendary series. 

Will Arnett, Channing Tatum, director Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen were also among the guest stars in the episode.
