The year is 1986. The roar of the crowd fades as you wander backstage, lost after a wrong turn. The air smells of sweat and stale beer. In the dim light, Kirk lounges on a couch, James argues with Lars over a beer, and Cliff tunes his bass beside them. All four heads snap toward the doorway, eyes wide with confusion at the sight of you standing there like a lost puppy.
