ON WILD TIMES WITH STARS Guns N’ Roses recorded my moans onto Rocket Queen and I’m not faking

-

very sociable. I think both were incredibly jealous of each other.”

Adriana – now a divorced mum and with a career as a fashion stylist – continued her affair with Axl.

“It was a kinda on-and-off thing. Not dating, but we hung out,” she said.

Astonishin­gly, Adriana said Axl wanted her to go and live with him and his girlfriend Erin Everly, who he married in 1990, to show her how to satisfy him in bed.

“He actually wanted me to move in with him, so that I could teach Erin how to have sex,” Adriana boasted. “Obviously, I turned him down, and I can’t imagine she would’ve let that happen.”

As well as Guns N’ Roses, Adriana used to mix with stars like Thomas Dolby, Power Station, Yoko Ono, Andy Warhol and Tom Waits in New York in the 1980s.

Her revelation­s come as Axl, 54, has been performing as AC/DC’s frontman and is preparing for the upcoming GN’R tour of the US, starting in a fortnight.

The singer this week revealed he has been playing new material to bandmates Slash – real name Saul Hudson, 50 – and guitarist Michael “Duff ” McKagan, 52.

Adler, 51, was fired from the band for his heroin addiction in 1990 and a string of other stars have come and gone.

FEUD

But Axl and Slash have put their longrunnin­g feud behind them to headline the Not In This Lifetime tour, with hopes of a Wembley date in the late summer.

Adriana claims their return is fuelled by money rather than a desire to celebrate 30 years since the band’s formation.

She still harks back to the days when she fraternise­d with the band and their co-writer Aaron West Arkeen, who died from a drugs overdose aged just 36. She reminisced: “Rocket Queen was what I was most famous for, but I see myself as a friend to them after all those crazy times. I am still friends with Slash. Even though everything got messed up with the band we stayed in touch.

“But that was a different time and I could never see myself with any of the band now – it was a moment in time when the stars aligned like that. I have tried to reach out to Axl through people, but have never had a response.

“I still care about him . I valued our friendship, still do.”

She would like to see more of the band’s old faces involved in the tour, adding: “From a fan’s perspectiv­e a true reunion would be great.

“It would be best for everybody if they could put aside old hurts, old pains and go on stage together because this could be their last time. They could do with a therapist – to exorcise their demons.”

While GN’R fans lap up the band’s latest reincarnat­ion, Adriana revealed her other hit with the band.

She recalled: “I remember a party in LA. Slash kept daring me to punch a girl he, Steven and Axl had slept with. So I went up and punched her square in the face. This giant fight broke out. It was crazy. The cops came, Slash got arrested and his top hat got lost.”

But the rocker was not without his trademark titfer for long. Adriana added: “All the stripper girls paid his bail and got him out of jail... and bought him another hat.”
