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 2016. 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!
Axl said wryly,"I hope you mean the younger Axl, and not the older Axl."
The Waiter 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.
The Waiter 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, the Waiter 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?" The Waiter 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 phone doesn't take pictures. In fact, my phone isn't portable at all. My phones stay in the house. "The Waiter responded,"You have a landline phone if your phone only stays in the house. "Axl responded, " I'm from a place that lives like the 1980's. It's pretty Rural and simple.
The Waiter 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.
The Waiter 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.
The Waiter 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."
The Waiter laughed out loud. Axl asked him in confusion,"What's so funny about Juneau, Anchorage? The Waiter tried to hold back his laughter but was failing miserably. There is nothing funny about Juneau, Anchorage." 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.
Axl's Waiter came back with his order and Axl thanked him and was welcomed. Axl ate his food and drink and paid. The Waiter 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 Axl's Waiter took the picture on his phone. Axl's Waiter thanked him for making his day. Axl welcomed him and he left.

After having breakfast at Denny's, Axl went shopping at TJ Maxx for cheap clothes. He chose long sleeved shirts to hide his Tattoos and a couple of jeans. As he was shopping, he heard a familiar voice playing on the store's music system. It was his voice singing. Axl wondered what song this was.
He asked an Employee,"What song is this playing?" The Employee answered with a smile,"November Rain by Guns N'Roses." Axl smiled and asked,"What year was November Rain released?"
The Employee answered, "It was released 1991. It was around the time Axl was acting crazy."
This piqued Axl's attention. "Axl was acting crazy?"
The Employee answered,"Yeah, he got divorced that year(Axl thought,"I was married?"), accidentally started a Riot, he was showing up to Guns N'Roses Concerts looking like a mental ward Patient, he was even acting crazy on his Use Your Illusion Albums (Axl thought,"I have albums called Use Your Illusion?" He was in a bad spot in many ways. Axl's a really good Singer, but he was messed up really badly in 1991."
Axl responded,"Hmm. I don't remember any of that. I wasn't born yet. I was born in 1997, so I definitely don't remember any of that happening to Axl. I don't remember November Rain either."
The Employee responded,"I was born in 1970, so I'm 27 years older than you and remember that crazy era of Axl vividly. (Axl thought,"Actually, you're 8 years younger than me," but he couldn't say this aloud he knew.) That era of Axl was a REALLY bad time for him. "
Axl asked, Axl is in a good spot today, right,? " he asked the Employee hopefully.
The Employee answered with a smile,"Yeah, Axl is pretty mellow and chill today. He's gotten a lot better over the years. "
Axl smiled happily and paid for his items and left.

Axl's money was running low. Axl wondered how he could make some more money quick. He passed by a Convenience store that said it does Lottery. Axl decided to play 1987, the year he was from, 1962, his birthyear, 1997, his fake birthyear, and 2022, the current year. All straight. He went to a movie theater to go see a movie and have some popcorn and a Coke. After the movie, Axl went to a nearby Convenience Store and checked his Lottery tickets. 2022 came up, and it was a $5,000 winner! He was excited! He went to the Lottery Clerk who congratulated him on his big win. Axl thanked him and asked him for the $5,000. The Lottery Clerk pointed out that Lottery wins over $599 were paid at a Lottery Office or mailed in. He would have to mail it to a Lottery office or go to Lottery Office to claim it and wait 30 days to get his money and would most likely pay about $1,600 in taxes. And his identity would need to be verified by The Lottery Officials before he could get any money.
Axl didn't want to wait 30 days for his money. Not did he want to pay about $1600 in taxes. Nor did he want his identity to be verified. He was pretty sure he could land in jail in 2022 if he gave the Lottery Officials a copy of his fake ID. He asked if there was a way he could just sell the ticket itself under the table. The Lottery Clerk told him,"I'll help you out if you promise not to tell anyone what I'm thinking of doing for you." Axl was interested and asked what it was. The Lottery Clerk says,"I'll pay you $4,000 cash for that ticket right now. Please promise to not tell anyone.
Axl was desperate for money, so he promised not to tell anyone. So desperate he was willing to take a $1,000 cut from the $5,000! Still better than paying about $1650 in taxes, he reasoned. He agreed, and he handed the Lottery Clerk the $5,000 ticket and received $4,000. He thanked the Lottery Clerk and was welcomed. He left with his $4,000 win. He booked a hotel for a week and put some money on prepaid gift cards.
He went to a phone store and bought a no contract phone and put 500 minutes on it. The Phone Clerk pointed out he looked just like Axl Rose from Guns N'Roses. He smiled weakly and said,"I have been hearing that a lot lately." The Phone Clerk smiled and handed him his new mobile phone. Axl thanked him and was welcomed and he left.
His hair itched, and he decided he needed to go to a Salon and get his long hair washed and styled. He went to a Salon and the hairdresser pointed out that he looked just like Axl Rose from Guns N'Roses. Axl smiled wearily and said,"I've been hearing that a lot recently." He asked the Hairdresser,"Is there a way you can please temporarily dye my red hair jet black so that I don't get so many comments about me looking like Axl Rose? The Hairdresser said with a huge smile, "Sure, I can dye your hair jet black!" Axl thanked her and she washed his hair, gave him a jet black hair color and styled his hair as he relaxed. When she was done, he thanked her and paid her and gave her a 30 percent tip. She was grateful. He looked in the mirror and smiled at his jet black hair. "Now, people will stop telling me I look just like myself! "Axl thought happily.
He went to the Hotel Restaurant and had Lobster, fries, a glass of Champagne, and chocolate cake with ice cream. He decided to allow himself to just lay back and relax in 2022. After his meal, he went to his Hotel and took a nap. When he awoke, he went to the pool and decided to lounge . A couple of guests who were married decided to shoot the breeze with him. They told him they were vacationing from Fairbanks, Alaska. The Husband said his name was Tom and she said her name was Ashley. They asked him what his name was and he said in a slightly rehearsed sounding voice,"My name is Michael. I wa and he smiled and said that he was from Alaska too and they asked him what part. He replied with a smile,"I'm from Juneau, Anchorage. " They gave him confused looks.
"Do you mean you're from both Juneau and Anchorage?" Ashley aasked. Tom looked confused.
Axl asked,"Aren't Juneau and Anchorage the same place?
"Anchorage and Juneau are not the same place," Tom responded. Are you sure you're from Alaska?" Tom questioned. Ashley replied,"They are almost 850 miles apart. Anyone from Alaska should know that.
Axl blushed. He remembered the Waiter laughing when he claimed he was from Juneau, Anchorage," and now fully understood why the Waiter laughed.
"Okay, I lied," Axl admitted blushing. I'm not from Alaska at all."
They asked him where he was REALLY from. He responded,"I live in Los Angeles." He responded truthfully.
They questioned why he didn't just say that from the getgo.
He responded,"It's complicated, let's just leave it at that." Axl couldn't tell them he was really Axl Rose who somehow traveled to 2022 from 1987.
They agreed to leave it at that and chatted with him about other things. Axl politely chatted back.
Soon, Axl said,"Goodbye," and left to his Hotel. Axl looked at his phone and realized he could have just looked up Alaska on the internet. He kicked himself for that. He decided he wanted to call Slash and chat with him and called Slash's phone number. When the caller picked up, Axl reflexively said,"Hey Slash, how are you?" The person on the other line answered,"I'm not Slash. You have the wrong phone number." Axl immediately realized he just called a 1987 number in 2022. He immediately apologized for dialing the wrong number and was told it was okay. They both hung up.
Axl watched some TV and went back to the Restaurant, and had a medium ribeye steak, some fries, and a glass of Pinot Gris. Then he had a Baked Alaska. After his meal, he went back to his hotel room and bathed and got dressed for the night and watched TV and soon fell asleep.

Axl woke up the next day and had breakfast at the Hotel Restaurant. Pancakes,eggs, sausage, bacon, orange juice. He paid and went to a store and bought a pack of cigarettes. He chose Marlboro Red, showed his fake ID and paid and left. He hadn't smoked in a couple of days and his body was screaming for nicotine. He went to a Library and begun smoking right there in the Library!😲 A Librarian politely told him that he wasn't allowed to smoke in the Library. He apologized and quickly put out the cigarette with some water he had been drinking. And then dried it up. He decided to ask for a guest Pass to use the internet and was granted one. He surfed the internet for a while, gazing in wonder at how different 2022 was from 1987. After his guest pass expired, he left.
Axl was walking down the street, and saw a sign offering free Covid testing and free Covid Vaccines. It caught his eye, and he wanted to know whether or not he had Covid. He felt fine and wasn't coughing or sneezing and didn't have a fever or anything like that, but he decided to get tested for it.
He was asked if he was Vaccinated against Covid. He responded he was not. He was asked if he wanted to get a free Covid Vaccine. He replied he wasn't ready yet. He wondered about getting a Vaccine for something that didn't even exist where he was from! He was tested and the nasal swabs hurt like hell! He was soon given his results. Negative for Covid. He was elated that he didn't have Covid. He then decided that since he was in 2022, maybe, just maybe he should get Vaccinated. For now, he lived in 2022, not 1987. He went to get the Vaccine and was asked to fill out Consent Forms.
He filled them out and got the first Vaccine and was told he had to come back in three weeks for his second dose. He nodded and received his vaccination card. His Vaccine card had his fake ID information. He wondered if he would still be living in 2022 in three weeks. He left soon and went back to his hotel and ate and slept.
