She was haunted by her recording session for years: “I ended up drinking and using drugs over this for a really long time, because I had this extreme shame and guilt and stuff.” But when Adler found out what had been captured on his band’s album, the drummer “fucking freaked out,” Smith says. “He’s fuckin’ magical.” Though she was drunk and giggly that day, Smith eventually gave Rose what he wanted: Her orgasmic moans - which ended up high in the mix on Appetite for Destruction‘s final track, “Rocket Queen” - are for real. “I would do anything Axl asked me to do,” says Smith, now a forty-year-old mom. Smith wanted to get back at Guns n’ Roses drummer Steven Adler for cheating on her - and had always liked the singer better anyway. “It was like a Ron Jeremy set in there,” Deyglio recalls. On that warm weekend evening in the spring of 1987, engineer Vic Deyglio had set up a top-of-the-line vocal microphone to capture the sounds of Rose and Smith having sex - and at one point, he had to dash into the booth to adjust the mike as they went at it. “Come on, Adriana, make it real,” Rose barked, pausing mid-coitus. Beneath him was a cute nineteen-year-old stripper named Adriana Smith, who happened to be his drummer’s girlfriend. Tape was rolling, and he knew something wasn’t right. He was on the roof of the Whisky! He was sitting in the lotus position, as if he was meditating.Axl Rose was lying nude inside a Manhattan recording studio’s darkened vocal booth, working out some unorthodox last-minute overdubs. We looked for him for over an hour and finally someone, probably Vicki, spotted Axl. It was a sunny day, and everyone was together walking toward the Geffen building except Axl, who was nowhere to be found. I shot back: “We’re only about to make our dreams come true.” I guess I was always the kid in the band. I was bouncing off the walls while the other guys were just waking up. I usually woke up early, and the day we signed was no different.
We let Vicki give him the news that we would sign with Geffen the following day.
We pretended to give it some thought although we had already made our decision. Tom went over his offer again, breaking every detail down for us, as simply (for our muddled minds) and clearly as possible.
It was a beautiful evening, so we headed up to the roof. To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt: What reading level is My Appetite for Destruction book?
