Could Lana Del Rey have written this hit about Axl?


Recommended Posts

Hot summer days, rock and roll

The way you'd play for me at your show

And all the ways, I got to know

Your pretty face and electric soul

It's common knowledge that Axl and Lana Del Rey had a quick fling, but could it have meant much more to her? The song deals with her insecurities in dating an older gentleman such as Axl, whom she fears may only value her for her youth and beauty.

Discuss.

They have a mutual friend named Andrei Gillot. Google him, you will see him in both of their company. Especially Lana's.

This is just speculation, but I don't think they were seeing one and other on any romantic level.

No, but her song Bel Air is certainly about Axl.

I would tend to agree with that. There's so many references in that song that it can't just be a coincidence.

His name also recently popped up in one of her other unreleased songs, I think it's called Baby Blue. I can't remember right now.

But her songs tend to at least describe the type of man Axl seems to be imo. I think she's fascinated by him and his person which is probably why she met him with in the first place.

Yeah I think Bel Air is about Axl.. The song references, roses, he has a Bel Air car..

Gargoyles standing at the front of your gate.
Trying to tell me to wait,
But I can’t wait to see you.

So I run like I'm mad to heaven's door.
I don't wanna be bad,
I won't cheat you no more.

Roses, Bel Air, take me there,
I've been waiting to meet you.
Palm trees in the light,
I can sleep late at night
Darling, I'm waiting to greet you,
Come to me, baby.

Spotlight, bad baby, you've got a flair
For the violentest kind of love anywhere out there

Mon amour, sweet child of mine,
You're divine.
Didn't anyone ever tell you
It's OK to shine?

Roses, Bel Air, take me there,
I've been waiting to meet you.
Palm trees in the light,
I can sleep late at night.
Darling, I'm waiting to greet you,
Come to me, baby.

Don't be afraid of me, don't be ashamed.
Walk in the way of my soft resurrection.
Idol of roses, iconic soul. I know your name.
Lead me to war with your brilliant direction.

Roses, Bel Air, take me there,
I've been waiting to meet you.
Palm trees in the light,
I can sleep late at night.
Darling, I'm waiting to greet you,
Come to me, baby.

Roses, Bel Air, take me there,
I've been waiting to meet you.
Grenadine sunshine, can you fade inside of mine.
Darling, I'm waiting to greet you,
Come to me, baby.

Just because he inspired her in some way doesn't mean she'd want to sleep with him. It was good publicity at the time.

Tori Amos said she used to masturbate to Robert Plant when she was a teenager and when they finally got together to record, Plant kind of embarrassed her with her own words and she politely declined the offer.

No, of course it doesn't mean she wanted to sleep with him. It's obviously possible for a woman to like a male artist for his work and persona without being sexually attracted to him. I personally think Lana just admires Axl a lot and is fascinated by him, just like many other people are too.

A lot of GN'R fans seem to really dislike Lana which I don't really get as she seems to be one of us.

I dont know Lana as an artist that much but I like the few songs I've heard... did she ever speak about those songs?

What I do find coincidental is that she looks A LOT like Stephanie Seymour, same type of face features so there's no doubt Axl may be a little infatuated with her ;)

She didn't say anything about the songs as far as I'm aware.

I don't think she looks like Stephanie at all. Lana has very soft facial features, often smiles etc. Stephanie not so much. At least I don't see the resemblance.

Oh God, those are some laughable lyrics...

Not saying they are like twins but I see a resemblance in style, nose, etc.......

How do I upload a pic?
