«Rocket Queen» is the last song on Appetite for Destruction, the debut album from hard rock band Guns N’ Roses.
I wrote this song for this girl who was gonna have a band and she was gonna call it Rocket Queen. She kinda kept me alive for a while. The last part of the song is my message to this person, or anybody else who can get something out of it. It’s like there’s hope and a friendship note at the end of the song. For that song there was also something I tried to work out with various people—a recorded sex act. It was somewhat spontaneous but premeditated; something I wanted to put on the record.
—Axl Rose An Interview With The Gunners, Hit Parader — March 1988
A credit in the booklet for Appetite for Destruction reads «Barbi (Rocket Queen) Von Grief», implying that she was «this girl» Rose mentions in the quote. Slash states that he and Duff McKagan wrote the main riff to «Rocket Queen» when they first got together, before either of them had joined Hollywood Rose or L.A. Guns.
It has also been said that Rose brought a woman, Adriana Smith, to the studio for recording. Steve Thompson, an engineer on the album, said the following in an interview:
Axl wanted some pornographic sounds on Rocket Queen, so he brought a girl in and they had sex in the studio. We wound up recording about 30 minutes of sex noises. If you listen to the break on Rocket Queen it’s in there.
It was later stated in the music magazine Classic Rock, as well as Rolling Stone, that the person who had been recorded performing sex noises on the song was Adriana Smith, an on-off girlfriend of drummer Steven Adler, who also allegedly had an intimate relationship with frontman Rose.
Slash states that though Von Grief was only eighteen at the time, she had a notorious reputation and was «a queen of the underground scene back then. She’d eventually become a madam, but Axl was infatuated with her at the time.» She was also mentioned in the acknowledgments section on L.A. Guns self-titled album.
At a handful of shows during Guns N’ Roses 1991-1993 Use Your Illusion Tour, Axl Rose would sometimes sing a small part of a song called It Tastes Good, Don’t It? in the middle of the song. It Tastes Good, Don’t It? had been written by the band in 1988, as they hoped its explicit lyrics would get them thrown off a tour with Iron Maiden. A performance of this song can be seen on the second half of the band’s Live In Tokyo DVD.

Lyrics:
If I say I don't need anyone
I can say these things to you
'Cause I can turn on anyone
Just like I've turned on you
I've got a tongue like a razor
A sweet switchblade knife
And I can do you favors
But then you'll do whatever I like
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen
I might be a little young
But honey I ain't naive
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen oh yeah
HEY TAKE THAT! TAKE THAT NOW!
GET THAT GUY AND TAKE THAT!
ILL TAKE IT GOD DAMMIT!

Thanks to the lame ass security, i'm going him

just like i've turned on you
i've got a tongue like a razor
a sweet switchblade knife
and i can do you favors
but then you'll do whatever i like
Chorus
Here i am
and you're a rocket queen
i might be a little young
but honey i ain't naive
here i am
and you're a rocket queen oh yeah
i might be too much
but honey you're a bit obscene
I've seen everything imaginable
pass before these eyes
i've had everything that's tangible
honey you'd be suprised
i'm a sexual innuendo
in this burned out paradise
if you turn me on to anything
you better turn me on tonight
Chorus
I see you standin'
standin' on your own
it's such a lonely place for you
for you to be
if you need a shoulder
or if you need a friend
i'll be here standing
until the bitter end
no one needs the sorrow
no one needs the pain
i hate to see you
walking out there
out in the rain
so don't chastise me
or think i, i mean you harm
of those that take you
leave you strung out
much too far
baby-yeah
Don't ever leave me
say you'll always be there
all i ever wanted
was for you
to know that i care

kkkkkkkkkk
Its basically two songs in one.
Awesome song!
honestly i thinks this has to be to most badass intro for a song ever made !!
y derepente un comentario en español :v
4:04 — I love this part, probably the most mellow part of the song.
This is a great ending to a great album. At the end of hard riffs, sex, violence and everything dirty about rock they squeeze in at the last minute that they're still softies and they still love you.
