Estranged

Chapter 2: Night of Lights - Alex P.O.V

It was a great turn out for their first show, at least 100 people, half of which I've sold some type of 'drug' to in the last week. The pub was really small though and it was soooo hot. I was touching shoulders with someone or someone was against my ass no matter where I stood.

The lights began to dim and cheers errupted through out the crowd, then a unmistakably Axl Rose scream hit the speakers, "you know where the fuck you are? you're in the jungle baby! you're gonna dieeeeeeee!" The most bad ass guitar riff started playing and the sickest drum beat began to play. It was a m a z i n g.

Axl looked at me and smiled mid-way through the song and I began to wave my hands in the air to the beat along with everyone else. I started scanning the stage and saw my Stradlin already a sweaty mess and to see if I recognized any of the guys and I did. The tall blonde bass player had come to my apartment with Izzy once or twice when Izzy needed a place to crash.

The drummer with a contagious smile was going hard on the drums and for a second I remember him walking into the record label/studio where I worked when I first got to Hollywood.

Then I saw him out of the corner of my eye, the curly haired guitar player with a black top hat. It's like he had no eyes, he was so invested in his guitar that you couldn't see his face, not that it would make a difference if he was looking straight at you. I had such a passion for mystery that it had gotten to me in some trouble in my life but I couldn't help but wonder who was under that top hat...

The rest of the show played out well, my favorite song was definitely the closing 'Rocket Queen' song. Axl sang the last note and then followed it with a mesage "Thanks for coming out to our first official Guns N' Roses show, I just wanna introduce the band before we finish up here. On bass, Duff Mckagan, on rythym guitar, Mr. Izzy Stradlin, on the drums, Steven 'Popcorn' Adler, and on lead guitar, Slash! Good night everyone! Feel free to head on down to the bar down the street and buy us some beers!"

Slash...where did I know that name from? sounded so freaking familiar...
