The legendary and temperamental frontman promised Kimmel and the audience that all of the shows would start at the scheduled time.

Rose told Kimmel about how he hitchhiked out to Los Angeles at the start of his career, how he feels a little dumb standing on the stage during guitar solos, and who he’s going to vote for.

Rose said: “I don’t really vote… I would lean democratic I guess I’d vote Obama.”

Rose also gave Kimmel an idea for a new Halloween prank. Rose said that he gets a “Halloween tree” every year so that he can tease little kids.

Rose said: Kids come over and I go, ‘What? You don’t have a Halloween tree?” And then I give them a present. And then for about three months I get calls from angry parents saying you son of a…”
