Axl Rose showing up in 2022! :D

[Karice]

This is a Fan Fiction I came up with..

25 year old Axl Rose somehow ended up in 2022. He was confused. Just a few moments ago, it was 1987. Axl was approached by Guns N'Roses Fans who gawked at him in awe


"Oh my God! You look JUST like a young Axl Rose from Guns N'Roses! One of them said in amazement.

Axl blushed, wondering how he would answer that. He decided to answer,"Well, a lot of People look alike."

Another Guns N'Roses Fan answered,"You not only look alike, you are a dead ringer for him! The Fan took out her phone and looked up,"Young Axl Rose, on Google" and showed him a picture of his current (young) self. Axl smiled and said,"I see the resemblance." The Fans smiled back. They suggested he enter an Axl Rose look alike Contest as he would surely win. Axl laughed and politely thanked them for their suggestions. Axl thanked God he happened to be wearing a long sleeved leather jacket that hid all of his Tattoos.

The Fans asked him,"What is your favorite Music Band? " Axl reflexively answered,"Guns N'Roses." The Fans looked at each other with happy suspicion. "Are you sure you aren't Axl Rose? They asked him. "No," he answered. They giggled happily. He then quickly answered,"I meant, "No, I'm not Axl Rose." They asked him what his name was. He answered,"Bruce," using his middle name. They continued to talk about how incredibly alike he looked to Axl Rose and they continued to imply he was Axl Rose. He begun to squirm uncomfortably. He answered,"Axl and I aren't even the same age! I am 25 and he should be 60!" Axl wondered how Current Older Axl looked and thought,"Current Older me most likely looks like me, just a lot older."


Axl then thought in Horror that Current Older him might be DEAD in 2022. He asked The Fans,"How many Guns N'Roses Members are still alive? They answered,"All of them are still alive. He breathed a sigh of relief and said,"Thank God." They looked at him curiously and he awkwardly chatted with them a little while later and then said,"Goodbye." He left.

Axl looked in wonder and realized that a lot of People had masks on. He wondered why. He then heard of Covid and asked,"What's Covid?" People were confused on how he didn't know what Covid was as it had been around for over two years. He on the top of his head made up a lie and claimed he had been in a coma for three years and just woke up today. He was told what it was. He asked if he could use his bandana as a mask and he was told he could. Axl was grateful he could use his bandana as a mask and that his bandana would also double as a disguise. He used his bandana and bought a pair of sunglasses to further disguise himself

Axl wanted an alcoholic drink, so he went to a bar and ordered Nighttrain, one of his favorite drinks. The Bartender pointed out that Night train stopped being produced in the 80's. Axl blushed. Axl instead asked for a Whiskey. The Bartender asked for his ID. "I'm 25, I promise, Axl said. The Bartender said,"Everybody who looks under 40 needs to show ID. Axl took out his ID and covered his name.

The Bartender looked at both him and his ID suspiciously. "This ID says you were born in 1962. According to this ID, you are 60. I thought you said you were 25. And besides, this ID says it expired in 1989. You definitely look much younger than 60. What kind of games you playing, kid?" Axl blushed uncomfortably. He had a couple of choices he could make. He could just tell the truth and admit he was Axl Rose and time traveled from 1987 to 2022. He could claim the ID was fake and risk going to jail in 2022. He REALLY wanted the Whiskey, but he technically no longer had a valid ID. He could just order a Coke and pretend it was Whiskey He chose to just order a Coke. He paid for it with a 1985 $20 bill. The Bartender scrutinized the 1985 bill and determined it to be real and gave him modern change. Axl drank his Coke, pretending that it was Whiskey. After drinking, he left.

Axl realized he couldn't run around with an ID that technically expired 35 years ago. He realized he would have to get a fake ID that said he was born in 1997. He told someone on the street that he was only 18 and wanted to buy Whiskey and wanted a fake ID that said he was born in 1997. The person told him he looked more like 25 than 18(Axl blushed) and should be able to get alcohol anywhere. Axl pointed out he was asked for ID at a bar and didn't have a valid ID. The Person told him where he could get a fake ID. He thanked them. He went there and at the place, he got the fake ID that looked really legitimate and said he was born in 1997. His fake ID also said his name was Michael Randall Johnson.

He went to another bar and ordered a Whiskey. The Bartender saw the ID said 1997 and gave him the Whiskey. He paid, smiled, and drank it and left.

Axl wondered how he would get money to survive on in 2022. He had about $300 on him from his last Guns N'Roses show he and his Bandmates did. He was sure $300 was decent money in 1987, but 2022? He wasn't sure. His stomach begun to growl and he went to a Restaurant and had a cheeseburger, soda, and fries that was about $20 including tax and tip at the Restaurant.

He was satisfied with the meal. He now had about $280 on him. Axl begun to feel tired and wondered where he would lay his head to rest. He wistfully thought,"If this were 1987, I could just sleep at either my house, Duff, Slash, Izzy, or Steven's houses." He begun to look for a cheap motel to sleep in for the night. He found a motel for $70. He paid, using his fake ID and settled in. He decided to watch some TV. A Different World Rerun was showing and the theme song sang,"It's a Different World than where you come from," and Axl chuckled at the irony of his situation and the song. "You got that right!" he said aloud wryly. During a commercial break, he saw that Guns N'Roses was being interviewed for an upcoming Show.

He was interested in seeing what older Axl looked like. Older Axl came on the screen and was smiling exuberantly. His eyes shone as he spoke about the upcoming Guns N'Roses Show. Axl's mouth dropped in shock. Older me looks awful compared to young me! Axl thought in shock! But at least he's still alive and looks happy.

Axl looked on in wonder as Duff and Slash also happily talked about the upcoming Guns N'Roses show. Duff and Slash look wonderful," Axl thought, smiling. But then he realized Izzy and Steven weren't being interviewed and wondered who the new Members of Guns N'Roses being interviewed were.

Did Izzy and Steven die? Axl wondered in a concerned panic. He then reminded himself that the Fans said all of the Guns N'Roses Members were still alive. Maybe Steven and Izzy decided to leave Guns N'Roses and start new paths, Axl told himself. At least I still have Slash and Duff," Axl thought, smiling happily. He soon went to sleep.

Axl woke up, bathed, got dressed(he realized he had to wear the same clothes he wore yesterday as he hadn't gone shopping yet. He checked out and left. He went to Denny's and ordered a Grand Slam with coffee and milk. The Waiter stared at him in shock.

"You kind of look like Axl Rose from Guns N'Roses!" The Waiter said shocked! The Waiter was named Tommy.

Axl said wryly,"I hope you mean the younger Axl, and not the older Axl."

Tommy smiled and said,"Yep, I do mean the younger Axl."

Axl smiled and said, "I heard that yesterday from a couple of my, uh, Axl's fans yesterday. Funny thing is, nobody before yesterday ever told me that I look just like Axl Rose," he said truthfully.

Tommy said,"I'm surprised you haven't been told you look just like Axl Rose before yesterday. You're a dead ringer for him." Axl smiled shyly.

"I'm a huge fan of Axl's myself, " Tommy said with a big smile. Can I take a Selfie with you and pretend that you're Axl Rose?"

Axl asked confused,"What's a selfie?" Tommy said looking confused himself, "A selfie is a picture taken by phone or camera, usually by phone. How did you not know that in 2022? "

Axl responded quickly, "My phones don't take pictures. In fact, my phones aren't portable at all. My phones stay in the house. Tommy responded,"You have landline phones if your phones only stay in the house. "Axl responded, " I'm from a place that lives like the 1980's. It's pretty Rural and simple.
"
Tommy asked him what his name was.

Axl responded,"My name is Michael." He knew he had to get used to claiming his name was Michael.

Tommy smiled and asked where he was from. Axl thought,"I can't respond Lafayette, my Hometown or LA, where I am from now," he responded,"I'm from Alaska.

Tommy responded,"What part of Alaska?"

Axl didn't know much about Alaska, but he heard of Juneau, Anchorage." He responded with a smile,"I am from Juneau, Anchorage."

Tommy laughed out loud. Axl asked him in confusion,"What's so funny about Juneau, Anchorage? Tommy tried to hold back his laughter but was failing miserably. "There is nothing funny about Juneau, Anchorage." He was still laughing as he said this. He told Axl he would be back with his order soon. Axl thanked him and he welcomed him. Axl looked at the Menu still on the table. He looked at all the food and drink choices and the copyright caught his eye. 2022. "I still can't believe I'm in 2022," Axl thought.

Tommy came back with his order and Axl thanked him and was welcomed. Axl ate his food and drunk his coffee and milk and paid. Tommy shyly once again asked him for a selfie with him. Axl decided to oblige his Fan and Axl stood next to him and they both smiled and Tommy took the picture on his phone. Tommy thanked him for making his day. Axl welcomed him and he left.
