"Appetite for Destruction, we just released it a couple weeks ago, y'all gotta check it out if you wanna hear some real heavy rock n roll." He kept shouting to everyone at the bar. Each time he'd speak his words would slur more. I could tell he was starting to get hammered after that fourth beer.

I stopped him before he could ask for another one, " Okay...that's enough alcohol for the night."

" What are you talking about? I'm fine. Don't tell me I'm not fine..."

" Yeah? Well, I'm telling you you need to sit the fuck down for a second, alright?"

" Man Axl...you never rest do ya?" Some guy, who was also clearly drunk, shouted at the bar.

" That would make me a fuckin' pussy like your ass, so no." Everyone laughed.

It's good to see him take pride in something so much. He really put a lot of effort into this record. His creative process keeps him driven because his image is so clear. He knows what he wants In his music.

But seeing him intoxicated kept me alert, because he's capable of doing a lot of damage.

"Well, have you even heard it yet?" I yelled, standing up from my seat, "You can't judge it until you actually heard it, can ya? And it's really a bangin' album if you ask me."

" A bangin' album huh? Girl, what the hell are you doing with a loser like Axl? Tryna be a rockstar and shit...you're better off just selling videos at Tower!"

" What the fuck did you just say?"

Man, who the fuck is this dude anyways?

"C'mon you could do so much better. You gotta get with someone who takes themselves seriously."

" Oh, and is that supposed to be you then?" I scoffed, " Yeah I don't want nothin' to do with your ugly ass anyways."

" You don't even know me! But you could get to know me if you really wanted to..."

And this point there was no return, he had tried to place a hand on me. But before I could even react, All came in full swing.

And I mean full swing. I'd never seen him react so quickly.

And before I knew it, this dude's nose was just dripping with blood...

The whole room grew silent. 

The dude yelled, " Motherfucker!" swung at Axl and it was only a matter of seconds before he was on the ground.

" I will fucking kick your ass to the pavement if you ever touch my girl again." He nearly screamed. 

" Why don't you take your ass to the pavement now Axl?" The store manager came out, " I let it slide before, but you've gone way too far, son. You're banned from here, you hear me?" 

" This fucker started it!" He yelled, " He knew what he was doing-- he's a fucking instigator!" 

I couldn't have been more embarassed, the whole room looking at us. 

" Alright then both of you are banned, that way it's even. Happy Now? Now get lost, Axl. I don't wanna see you in here again."

Axl looked at me, and I just shook my head and walked out the door.
