RocketQueen is the final track on
Guns N' Roses debut album "Appetite for Destruction"
"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
Might be a little young, but hunny I ain't naive...
Fuse a love for photography, music, and musicians and you get Pix, an east coast sinner living the life under the California sun.
Plagued with heartbreak, financial distress, and fake friendships upon moving to LA, "Appetite for Destruction" became her pivotal music influence and "RocketQueen" her anthem.
After a brief hiatus back to Boston, she realized LA is where she wants to be and shooting bands is her calling.
Lights, Music, and a Camera is all she needs...maybe a splash of vodka too.
It takes more to be a photographer than a fancy camera and flash. Many take pictures, Pix captures memories.
"I despise editing...I like raw, edgy images...Black and white, infrared, grainy...It's interesting. Subject matter speaks for itself, there is nothing more inspirational than shooting a guitarist or drummer caught in the passion of playing their instrument. You can't edit that...it's pure."-Pix
