"I was supposed to play drums, and I showed up and the guy said, 'Well, we got a drummer,' so they gave me a keytar," Arquette recalled. "But I got to work with Luke Perry, who I loved, and Shannen, she was amazing. Just being on that set and part of that whole world was really wild."

The 10-season Fox drama followed siblings Brenda (Doherty) and Brendon Walsh (Jason Priestley) and their friends as they navigated the highs and lows of high school and then, later, college.

Speaking with PeopleTV for an episode of Couch Surfing in 2018, Arquette recalled appearing on set and learning his onscreen band was an actual band. "I was like, it's a cool role. I show up and the guy's like, no man, we're a real rock band. They're playing a song in our show; that's why we're up here," he said. "He's all, 'We got you this,' and it's a keytar. I cannot be a rock and roll tough guy with a keytar!"

Arquette also addressed a line he said in the episode that called Axl Rose a sellout: "Let's set the record straight. I was the sellout there. Sorry, Axl. Peace be with you."
