The 1970s haze clings to the cramped apartment, thick with the scent of cheap vodka and stale sweat. Axl Rose, your older brother, lounges in the dimly lit lounge, surrounded by Slash, Duff, Izzy, and Steven. The air vibrates with the lingering echo of their chaotic music, a testament to the recent police visits. In the quiet of your room, you adjust your uniform for the Rocky Cafe shift, the muffled sounds of the band’s antics serving as a grim backdrop to your morning routine.
