Rocket Queen- Guns ‘N’ Roses

“Rocket Queen” by Guns ‘N’ Roses is about a girl that was going to start a band and name it ‘Rocket Queen’. Axl Rose was infatuated with this girl and wrote this song for her. I like song, I’m not very familiar with it but I can say that I don’t hate it. I chose this song for this reflection because it is definitely Rock ‘n’ Roll, but it is definitely sex as well because in the bridge of this song, there is actually a recording of Rose and the drummer, Adler’s girlfriend. I’ve never even heard of that happening before so that’s why I chose this song.

The music integrates well with the lyrics and the message of the song. During the bridge, there is a guitar solo with drums and obviously sex noises—I find that so funny! This song is showing how much Rose cares for the girl and he obviously feels lustful towards her and is aroused when he thinks about her, so I think it was a good choice to put the recording into the song. It was a bold move, and obviously it paid off. About halfway through the song, the tempo changes and it’s mainly drums integrated with electric guitar and base. This is a clear transition of the song, and in the second part of the song the lyrics are more loving and affectionate in contrast to the first part of the song. This is done because Rose wants to get his message across to the ‘Rocket Queen’ girl.

This song is autobiographical like I mentioned before, it is about Axl Rose and the girl that he was crazy for. Her name was ‘Barbi (Rocket Queen) Von Greif’ and she was eighteen at the time that Rose had a thing for. Slash commented that although she was pretty young, she had a notorious reputation and was called “a queen of the underground scene”. This type of song is not unusual for Guns ‘N’ Roses at all, it sounds like a lot of their other popular songs, although I’ve never heard another song that has a sex recording in it so this song could also be called unique in that way. I would say it sounds a lot like ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’, which is also from the album ‘Appetite For Destruction’.

I would definitely recommend this song, but not really for anything specific. I would say if you just got your heart broken, definitely do not listen to this song. Also, I wouldn’t recommend it for working out either, but I guess it could possibly work if you really wanted to. I would say just put this song on your regular playlist on shuffle and listen to it occasionally. If you happen to have a playlist named ‘Oldies’ then you can definitely put this song in there. All in all I think this song is really cool and worth listening to.

      Probably my favorite song from GNR. Good to know the back story. I thought maybe Axl was going Freddy Mercury style calling himself a rocket queen. Nothing against queens or lbgqabcdefg folks. But I kinda needed Axl to be straight. Judas Priest and Queen was already tough for me to handle in the 1980’s
