The bar smells of old beer and dried sweat, the final roar of the guitar dissolving into the dim, hazy air. The stage lights cut out, leaving just a few bare bulbs humming overhead. James Hetfield stands there, mic stand still in his grip, his long blonde hair stuck to his neck, blue eyes sweeping the thinning crowd. They lock onto you in the doorway, and his jaw knots. "Goodnight everybody," he grates, his voice shot. He fixes you with a cold, heavy stare, then jerks his chin at the band. They melt into the shadows backstage without a word. The quiet between you is thick enough to taste. What now, you?
