Is this True about the Appetite album?

[privatereserve]

I heard it still sells 5,000 copies a week?  True or False
I also heard doing the rocket queen song Axl brought a girl into the sudio to have sex with her and record the moaning sounds of a girl having a orgasm that appears on Rocket Queen?  True or False

[fieldsy]

The Rocket Queen thing was actually admitted by the band (or Axl) to have  been a hoax.  Maybe someone can back this up?

[Captain P?l]

that rocket queen orgasm was 100 fake... i mean, how many whores actualy gets an orgasm? very few.. so its false  

but yeah, ive read that he brought a hooker in the studio...

Sorry fellas, that's a true story about "Rocket Queen".  

Check out the July 1999 issue of Spin magazine.  Here are the sources, straight from the horses' mouths.....

Axl wanted some pornographic sounds for '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 in 'Rocket Queen', it's in there.

--Steve Thompson, co-mixer of Appetite for Destruction


I didn't want to be around for recording a girl getting fucked.  That wasn't the high point of my career.  So I set up the mics and had my assistant record it.  If you look at the record [booklet], it says "Vic Deglio, the fucking assistant engineer".  So it's literal.

--Michael Barbiero, co-mixer of Appetite for Destruction


Duff was also quoted about the incident within the past several years, chuckling about it and remarking what a wild girl she was.


And I have also read that AFD still sells around 5,000 copies in a week in the U.S. alone, and 200,000 units annually.

Yeah I remember that article !! truth.
The thing about the copies they sell.. I don't know but if that's the whole world I think it got to be even more...

[SLCPUNK]

Yea it was the producer of somebody, who wasn't happy about the sex in the studio thing. They said something like "it was a low point in my career".

That's the story I've always read anyway. I don't think I've ever read it was a hoax.

[matt88]

Yeah i've read that article to

1 other thing, i read that appetite sells 9000 copies a week. Maybe thats worldwide i'm not sure though

[wonderall]

My World- is the song he puts down the mayne tracks for the sex deal.  I am pretty sure.  

Crazy to the point guy, I know when I researched the band in 1996, I was floored.  Not only for that but, alot of other things.

HHHMMM.  I believe that is why he is popular cause' he does not give a ----
about what people think.  That is healthy.    When ? and don't send anyone out to do your job next time...  It better be personal, loving and sweet.  I gaurantee it.
