Obscure Metal Track Of the Week. We look for needles in haystacks, pearls in oysters, and honest people in government. We know they are rare, but they're worth it when you find them. This week's OMSOTW is one of my faves. It's Rocket Queen by GNR. I always thought this was the very best on the record, and was surprised they didn't release it (I guess instead opting for the INCREDIBLY nauseating Paradise City) and make a video. The lyrics and music are great, but the best part is the total change of pace at the end where intead of making the whole song a chauvinist smut rant, Axl shows his lighter side. It's good stuff. I remember Joe and I used to think he was saying he always wanted his partner to always know he was gay, but upon further review he was letting that person know he would always be there. I'll bet the people in the audience of shows he cancelled wished he was talking to them. Enjoy your Sat. Metalheads.
