The garage was covered in a brown carpet and soundproofing. Inside was the band's gear, recording equipment, and a washing machine. The walls were adorned with posters of the bands heroes: Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, Eddie Van Halen, and other famous guitarists and musicians. Furthermore, the garage had some of the bands favorite fictional heroes on the walls such as the X-Men. | |||
