Watch Arctic Monkeys Perform “Do I Wanna Know?” and “R U Mine?” on Kimmel

If you listen closely, you may remember that last week’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live with Kanye West was supposed to have Arctic Monkeys perform as the musical guest. West’s interview (see: rant) ran pretty long, to the point where even Kimmel couldn’t interrupt him for the commercial break. And so, unintentional or not, his lengthy interview cut their performance from the episode. Tear.

Last night the Brits took the stage to make up for the cut, performing two tracks off of their new album, AM. The songs–“Do I Wanna Know?” and “R U Mine?”–sound great live, with frontman Alex Turner rocking the microphone stand like any great rock n’ roller should, greased-back hair included.

Watch them perform both songs below and let us know what you think in the comment section after!
