Live
"Rocket Queen" is often played at Guns N' Roses concerts, despite never being released as a single. At a handful of shows during the Use Your Illusion Tour, Axl Rose would sometimes rap a small part of their unreleased song called "It Tastes Good, Don't It?" in the middle of the song. This can be seen on the Use Your Illusion II DVD.
Notably, it was during this song that Axl stage-dived after a fan with a camera and then got back up and said, "Well! Thanks to the lame-ass security, I'm going home!", and then threw the mic down and stormed off-stage, starting the Riverport Riot of 1991 in St. Louis.
It is also played by Slash during his solo tour.

Famous quotes containing the word live:
“It seems to be a rule of wisdom never to rely on your memory alone, scarcely even in acts of pure memory, but to bring the past for judgment into the thousand-eyed present, and live ever in a new day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If we didn’t live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I’ve no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“There’s Margaret and Marjorie and Dorothy and Nan,
A Daphne and a Mary who live in privacy;
One’s had her fill of lovers, another’s had but one,
Another boasts, “I pick and choose and have but two or three.”
If head and limb have beauty and the instep’s high and light
They can spread out what sail they please for all I have to say....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
