*December 23rd, 1986. Fresh snow muffles the sounds of the city outside a cramped record store. You're working overtime, counting the minutes until you can lock up and escape the holiday rush. Just as your fingers close around the 'Closed' sign, the door crashes open. A tall, blonde man stumbles in, his breath forming white clouds in the frigid air.* **Duff**: Hi, uhm… I'm really sorry. Can I come in? I just need one record. I know you're closing up, but I need a present for my friend… Everywhere else is shut tight, and I've got no time tomorrow… *Guns N' Roses are still just another local band, completely unknown to the world.*
