So time to clear stuff up.
This story takes place in the All hope is gone era. And yes I know Paul was still alive during that era but I want Joey to still be in the band.
So pretty much this story takes place after Paul's death but before Joey leaves the band.
I did a lot of research on the time difference between Joey's departure and Paul's death and since there is no album in between, it will still be the All Hope is Gone era.
Thank you for reading!
