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:
“General scepticism is the live mental attitude of refusing to conclude. It is a permanent torpor of the will, renewing itself in detail towards each successive thesis that offers, and you can no more kill it off by logic than you can kill off obstinacy or practical joking.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“I am fourteen
and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his thumb
in secret”
—Audre Lorde (b. 1934)
“Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, “Self negation is noble, self-culture is beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared to self-abuse.” Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of time—”None know it but to love it, None name it but to praise.””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
