The Arctic Monkeys took things up to 11 on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night. In support of their newest album, AM, the British alternative rockers performed lead single "Do I Wanna Know" along with fan favorite "R U Mine?" on the late night talk show Oct. 16.
The crawling lead single was given new life on the Kimmel L.A. stage. Lead single Alex Turner swung his hips and peered from side to side while winding through the slow burning track. The instrumentation was as tight as ever as Turner and co. played their guitars in unison against the steady drum beats of Matt Helders. Accented by leather jackets and cool coifs, Arctic Monkeys were the definition of rock 'n' roll.
Arctic Monkeys also played through "R U Mine?," an old fan live favorite that was subsequently released as a single in 2012 and added to the AM tracklisting in 2013.
It was clear that the Monkeys had been playing this song for some time. Small drum breaks were executed seamlessly as Turned snaked around the relatively quiet guitars and bass.
Arctic Monkeys finally appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after reportedly being booted from the schedule last week, when rapper Kanye West appeared on the talk show to settle his Twitter feud with Kimmel.
