Rovim Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Axl fucked Steven's girlfriend and recorded the audio for the outro of Rocket Queen?For some reason the page won't load for me.Axl Rose is known for two things: utter perfectionism and batshit insanity. The former is the reason he spent 15 years and $13 million to complete an album that, ultimately, only he and his dog cared about. The latter explains such acts of silliness as who commit the cardinal sin of taking pictures, walking out on a show after their co-headliner set himself on fire, regularly showing up hours late for concerts with no good explanation whatsoever, and threatening to kill himself unless his girlfriend married him.But what happens when the two sides of Axl's head come together? Well, you get "Rocket Queen." The closing track on the Appetite for Destruction album sounded OK enough, but Axl felt the mid-song breakdown needed a little something extra. Most people would have suggested something musical, it being a song and all. Did Axl call for a drum fill? A second guitar solo? Nope. He decided to insert sex sounds, and we're not talking about recording a snippet of some random porn movie.Photo Agency via Fanpix.net"Hey, Steve, remember that favor you owe me?"No, Axl decided to bang a real woman in the studio, for sound-effects purposes. He found a willing woman -- Adriana Smith, the girlfriend of Steven Adler (the band's drummer). Apparently, Adler had just cheated on her, so her version of revenge was to bang the lead singer, with an engineer looking on and recording the whole thing.And Axl didn't even get her excited. No, he had a backup harmonica player do that. Axl allowed him to strip down with Smith and get her wet and willing, and only then did he step in and perform the ultimate cockblock, saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm gonna fuck this girl now. It's for the record. We're putting it on the record." Because, to Axl Rose, a day without utter douchebaggery is like a day without sunshine.Hear those moans starting at the 2:40 mark? That's Adriana Smith. Her vocal acrobatics extend throughout the entire break and into the chorus, which makes it seem like Axl was singing the damn song while attempting to "take her down to Paradise City" with "his boner." Sadly, for all of her hard work, Smith didn't even get a songwriting credit. She did, however, develop a drug and alcohol habit, due to all the "extreme shame and guilt and stuff." We can't help but wonder what they did when it came time to play the song live on stage -- we're guessing they just had Izzy make moaning sounds into the mic.Read more: http://www.cracked.com/article_20423_5-mind-blowing-true-stories-behind-famous-songs.html#ixzz2SuhBIxsi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I do not know what to make of the Adriana Smith/Rocket Queen thing now. When I was 12 it did cause a bit of school boy laughter but these days, I find it a bit embarrassing frankly: ''look at me, I am boning a woman on record, arn't I cool?'' It is similar with Get in the Ring. When I was 12 I laughed at it and used to count the 'fucks' and be able to recite it word for word; now I find the whole think lame as could be.

Jeez Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Agreed. when I was ynger I thought it was cool. OMG... he had sex and recorded it... now... it's kinda lame. I think it works like this for everyone. Even Axl. Don't forget he was a lot younger then, and it was the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The Stones - Jagger alone - probably had sixty times the number of women Axl Rose had yet they never put it on Beggars Banquet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useyorappetite Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) It did need something but i always skip that part. I wish i hadn't read that i didn't really wanted to know how it went down. But i guess it served its purpose. Slash probably still thinks it's cool since he mentioned it in his book. Wasn't she a stripper? developed a drug habit due to shame. Yeah right. Although the poor girl was with two abusive guys. Didn't she used to post here? Edited May 11, 2013 by useyorappetite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
