Having graduated last year, Johnny moved out of his uncle's home and got his band an agent, as well as a record producer whose other clients included superstar Ember McLain. Their first paid gig was in Vegas as the opening act for the Rolling Stones. Unfortunately, as with his other friends, Johnny's alcohol addiction cost him his bandmates. One night in Reno, he actually stumbled out on stage drunk as they were opening for Aerosmith.
"We can't have you doing this, man." Ramón told him.
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Ramone," Johnny said as he laid spread eagle in the back of the team bus with a half naked groupie sleeping on his chest, "SHUT UP!" he yelled as he threw an empty bottle of Captain Morgan he had been holding at his drummer. The girl woke up, put her jeans back on, and ran out of the bus "You sound just like my old roomie, Jeff Wainright."
"Well, maybe Jeff had a point. Johnny, the guys and I had a talk last night. We don't want a reprise of the Aerosmith incident, so we're sending you into rehab."
