Obviously they'll play "By The Sword" on Leno.  I wonder what 2 songs on Lopez?  Maybe keep Stockdale around and bring in Myles to do one of his songs, or do both songs with Myles?

[IzzyDutch]

My guess the other will be either Beautiful Dangerous or Back From Cali

[oldgunsfan]

should be interesting to see who shows up to sing at each appearance
it seems he may have sveral options for each apearance

[Smoking Guns]

Cannot wait to see these songs done live with pro shot recording.

Just saw him on Leno-about what you would expect I guess, it was good-first time I watched Leno in a while

[Smoking Guns]

Good performance, that song has an awesome Slash-eque solo.

[FunkyMonkey]

I posted the reminder then forgot to set my TiVo. 

Was he also interviewed?

Outstanding!  Stockdales voice is insane, wish the rest of Slash's album was this good. I nominate him for VR's new lead singer!

[jacdaniel]

cool performance!  funny how Stockdale only plays the guitar for like 5 seconds!

[CheapJon]

Slash wore a "I'm with CoCo" pin 



coolest thing he have done personally in a while i must say! I was wondering how he could go on Leno when he was friends with Conan, nice kick in tha jaw on jay there that is also probably why they barely show him in the youtube clip but if you look at 3.03 you can see it on his guitar strap

[faldor]

That is AWESOME!  I did have a slight problem with Slash going on The Tonight Show with Leno after all that crap he pulled.  But that makes up for it.  I didn't notice it though, I'll have to go back and look again.

[D]

Still can't see the pin

the performance however was amazing! Absolutely flawless  well cept for Andrew's voice crackin after the solo!
