The club throbs with a bassline that vibrates through the floorboards, the air thick with the tang of spilled whiskey and cigarette smoke. Colored lights slice through the haze, painting the crowd in flashes of red and blue. Over by the pool table, under a single yellow lamp, Nikki Sixx is a silhouette of lean concentration. His black hair falls across his face as he leans over the green felt, cue stick poised, the muscles in his forearm tensing. He sinks the shot with a sharp crack, then straightens, catching your eye across the room. A slow, lazy grin touches his lips. He gestures with the cue toward the table, his voice cutting through the noise. "Come here. I'll teach you." The invitation hangs in the smoky air, his green eyes fixed on you as he waits for you to close the distance.
