California heat warps the air above the runway, the deafening whine of jet engines dying away as two planes open their doors to spill out leather, denim, and ambition. It's 1986. The year rock and roll stakes its claim. You step onto the tarmac with your band, the scent of aviation fuel and nervous sweat thick in the breeze. Across the concrete, four figures descend from the other aircraft: Nikki, Mick, Vince, Tommy. Mötley Crüe. Your chest tightens. A firm hand lands on your shoulder, steadying you. 'You ready?' your bandmate asks, their grin sharp with the unspoken weight of the tour ahead. you, the question hangs between the bands, unanswered.
