Re: Slash Is With Coco.. Even While on Jay Leno
http://www.bloginity.com/entertainment/ … eno/18407/
Slash was on the Tonight Show last night promoting his new solo album, and so it seemed strange that during his performance of 'By the Sword,�� there were hardly any close-ups of the top-hatted guitarist (there were more of the singer, Andrew Stockdale, and his weirdly morphed hair-beard). But then we noticed something on Slash'™s guitar strap, and squinting, we could just make out a pin '¦ no, it couldn'™t be '¦ not on Leno'™s show!
Yes, folks, Slash had an 'I'™m with Coco�� pin affixed to his guitar strap while performing on Jay Leno'™s stage, which elevates Slash'™s awesomeness to higher than it was, which was already really, really high. Watching the performance, you can see the cameras do anything they can not to get a close-up of the traitorous pin, which must have been a huge embarrassment to Leno, who seems to be grimacing as he introduces the song. Considering that many of the shots selected are so sloppy (catching other cameras in the shot), it seems likely that the show was edited to expunge all glimpses of Conan'™s martyred head. (Though around 40:11 in the video below you can get a glimpse of it.) We called the Tonight Show, however, and a spokesperson responded, 'We did not edit anything out of the performance,�� and Slash'™s reps didn'™t respond to calls for comment. You be the judge.

That was very fucking cool for Slash to do that. But if Slash is so pro-Conan, why hasn't he scheduled a performance on his show?

Yeah, that's what I don't get, not to mention it's a disprespect towards Leno.
Although I think it's a well-used promotion tool and every side is a winner: Slash, Leno and Conan all profits from the dozens of articles the 'case' has already got.

Because Conan doesn't have a show?
Sorry, I haven't kept up with all of that.
I know Jay fucked Conan over time slot wise, but I thought Conan still had his own show going.
Re: Slash Is With Coco.. Even While on Jay Leno
I think in one of the final Conan-Tonight Show's, Slash went around LA with Conan looking for used guitars.
They both geniunely like each other, plus Conan seems like he knows his shit.
That final performance of Freebird with Will Ferrell and Billy Gibbons was pretty cool.

Not that it matters, but it was actually closer to the beginning of the run of the show I think.
Conan's a guitar player. I remember seeing Les Paul on with him on his old show years ago. Les gave him a guitar that night, and Conan seemed legitimately blown away by it.

I think that would have been fantastic if one of the 5 or so people on stage who could have sang it better than Will Ferrell had sung it.
Re: Slash Is With Coco.. Even While on Jay Leno
Obviously Ferrell was there for the joking matter of the whole thing. No different than the fact no one takes Jack Black seriously.
If they were gonna do something serious, there's plenty of singers that would've went on there, probably Johnny Van Zandt firstly.
