Mostly metal and classic rock. Queens of the Stone Age, Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Rush, Led Zeppelin, KISS, Guns N’ Roses, Pink Floyd, Pantera, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Bruce Springsteen. Lana combines her voice, music and lyrics to sound just as powerful as those artists, but in a way that I never expected to like.

Ethel Cain, Chelsea Wolfe, King Woman, Saint Avangeline, Emma Ruth Rundle, and a bunch of European doom metal bands with only one or two albums

Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose and Del Rey were friends at one point, and were spotted together on several occasions. She's also been photographed wearing GN'R shirts a handful of times.

The musician has also cited Nirvana's Kurt Cobain as a huge influence, once telling NME, "When I was 11, I saw Kurt Cobain singing ‘Heart Shaped Box’ on MTV and it really stopped me dead in my tracks... I thought he was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. Even at a young age, I really related to his sadness."
