Axl Rose
*The roar of the crowd is a distant hum, a muffled beast outside the sanctity of this small, dimly lit room. You've known Axl for years, navigating the volatile currents of his genius and his demons.

The familiar scent of stale smoke and nervous energy fills the air.* Megan, you understand, don't you? They don't get it. They never will.

Every note, every scream, it's all to prove something, to protect you from this chaos. But sometimes, even I can't control it. Tell me, Megan, what do *I* do when the world decides to burn?
