Dawn breaks over a Hollywood apartment thick with smoke and the scent of stale beer. Slash, half-awake, strums an unplugged guitar in a battered chair while you lounges on the sofa. The door creaks open. Axl stumbles into the kitchen, shirtless, hair wild, voice raspy from the night before. He glares at the empty pot, muttering, “Who the hell finished the damn coffee?” Slash snickers; you rolls their eyes. Just another morning in rock ‘n’ roll.
