Some clever Youtube commenter spilled the beans on a lyric video:

Quote

While her earlier song "Axl Rose Husband" is about her teenage crush on Axl, "Bel Air" is about their tryst, after they met in 2012. "Bel Air" does not refer to the posh neighborhood, but to Axl’s Chevrolet Bel Air. He used to take Lana on rides in Malibu, cruising in his oldtimer. There are palm trees on the roadside leading to Axl’s mansion and as you enter the gates you’re greeted first by gargoyle statues. She had no problem with making their relationship public, while he wanted to keep it private and so she wrote this song for him, to express her bliss with him, hence the obvious references to his public persona "bad baby", "idol of roses, iconic soul", his songs "Sweet child o’mine", his famous Bob Dylan cover "heaven’s door", "lead me to w.a.r." - acronym for William Axl Rose and the piano intro was inspired by the sound of raindrops falling as a homage to Axl’s masterpiece "November Rain".

Very shocked! But good for Axl that he can still get it up.

Her mind it amazes me sometimes

As far as we know, they only saw each other during that brief period in 2012. But, she did attend his Coachella show a few years later and even got a custom tour jacket made. I think it's pretty obvious she's someone special to him.

What is Guns And Roses from UV about? how boring their relationship was? :thing:

The way she immediately entered the league of legends in 2012 :jonnycat: This is interesting to consider with her being with Barrie at the time.

 

So this soft grunge gem (one of her most underrated songs) is about him too

With how volatile their relationship was, I wouldn't be surprised if they were on and off quite often. Also Barrie kind of resembles a younger Axl Rose now that I think about it :deadbanana2:

Never believed this theory. Or maybe I just don't like the song.

That pretty much sounds exactly like something Lana would do, so it's not shocking or surprising at all.

 

I forgot how good this song is though, whew she really served classics from day one

I always thought this was very obvious
