Ever since the argument they had had in the hotel room, the atmosphere had only become more tense every time Bruce and Janick were alone in a room together. It was so easy for Janick to get along with Dave; he was such a pleasant person who always tried to have a smile on his face. Janick was simply shocked when Bruce acted like he didn’t trust him with Dave. He didn’t let his behaviour bother him though.
Janick had been spending a lot more time with Dave ever since his and Bruce’s quarrel. He had often spent time with Bruce after the band would finish rehearsal, but he often found himself sitting in the break room talking and drinking beers with Dave.
By the time Steve and Rod announced to them that touring for their new album would begin, Dave and Janick had become inseparable. The longer they played together, the more chemistry they seemed to have.
Bruce had distanced himself with Janick all week; even when they were in the same hotel room together, Bruce slept with his back to him, almost hanging off the edge of the bed to stay away from him. He didn’t say anything about the dispute to Dave or anyone else in the band; he didn’t want to cause any further tension.
When Janick was in the barn with Steve and Dave on the day before their tour promoting their new album, No Prayer for the Dying, Steve kept emphasizing how important this tour was since it was the first one with a new guitarist, and they would be going in a completely different musical direction from their last album. He was being very persistent about everything being perfect to the point where Janick was already beginning to feel stressed out and touring had not even started yet. Dave had been working with Steve for years though and seemed used to this sort of behaviour.
When they were finished loading the tour bus the next day, Bruce plopped down in the seat beside Janick who was sitting by the window reading a guitar magazine. Jan looked up at him briefly.
“I’m sorry for being so paranoid,” he said, looking at him with large brown eyes that often made Janick melt, “I was just so afraid of losing you, y’know… You hangin’ out with Dave doesn’t bother me. And I know that neither of you would ever do anything to betray me. I’m sorry…”
Bruce reached over and stroked Janick’s cheek, causing him to blush scarlet. Jan knew that he couldn’t stay mad at him for long. “It’s okay…” he said while placing his own hand over Bruce’s, holding his warm hand to his face just a little bit longer. Bruce leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the lips.
Janick felt better after making up with Bruce. He seemed to trust him again, and didn’t insist on accompanying him when he and Dave hit the pub together.
They had their first show of the tour the next night, and everything seemed to go well. Gone were the large stage props from the previous tours, which were now replaced with a wall of Marshall amps which Janick often climbed on top of during shows.
The stress of the tour was getting to Steve though because just the slightest mishap would cause him to go into a tyrannical rage. Bruce was the only one in the band who would yell back at him. He was sick of Steve not listening to anyone else’s input. This didn’t help matters for anyone though. Arguing back to him only seemed to add petrol to an already burning fire.
“If you would open your fuckin’ mouth when singin’ maybe we wouldn’t ‘ave to be ‘ere for so long!” Steve shouted at him during one of the soundchecks, causing the crew members to stare at him cautiously.
“I’m singin’ fine!” the singer shouted into mic seemingly for the sole purpose of shouting louder than the bassist. The mic made a screeching noise, and one of the crew members rushed to adjust it.
The two of them shouted back and forth towards each other to the point Janick couldn’t even decipher what they were arguing about because neither would let the other finish. It was as if they were just looking for a reason to be angry at each other to the point Bruce accused Steve of deliberately sabotaging his mic so that he would humiliate himself in concert while the rest of the band looked and sounded good. The accusation was so idiotic - especially coming from someone of such intelligence - the rest of the band stopped what they were doing to give him a look as if they all thought he was a fucking moron.
This seemed to be enough for Steve to march forward to him, and Jan could have sworn that he was getting ready to deck Bruce across the face. He felt a cold pit in his stomach - there was going to be a full-blown brawl at the soundcheck, and there was nothing he could do to stop it…
Nicko rushed forward from his drum kit and grabbed Steve by his arm to hold him back. “C’mon ‘Arry, stop it, he ain’t worth it…”
Janick expected Steve to turn around and start screaming at Nicko next for daring to contradict him. Instead, his expression turned from a look of pure rage to a soft expression. Nicko’s words had seemed to calm him down. Actually, it was more than that, Janick realized; it was as if his words had caused him to melt in the same way he himself would when Bruce started talking sweet to him. Nicko spoke softly to him, and their hands locked together for a few moments.
When Steve finally calmed down, they finished the soundcheck without any further spat. Steve and Bruce didn’t say much to each other afterwards, not even after the show. Janick and Dave both wanted to avoid conflict at all costs, and Nicko seemed to be the only person who could get through to Steve. Janick couldn’t get the image of Steve softening at his words, and wondered if something was going on between them, and if there was, why they were hiding it from the rest of the band…
