The Arctic Monkeys warmed up their fans at the iHeart Radio Theater in Los Angeles Tuesday night by performing one of their biggest hits, “Do I Wanna Know.” Afterwards, lead singer Alex Turner needed several bottles of water to rejuvenate himself from the epic three and a half minute mantra. The Arctic Monkeys then went on to perform several other hits such as “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?,” “Arabella,” and “One For The Road.” Fans in the audience were completely enraptured and only snapped out of it when Tray Morgan told stories of how the band got it’s start. One of those stories was how Alex Turner got his start in 2001 when he received a guitar for Christmas. 13 years later, the band is standing on the top of the mountain as they enter the start of their summer tour.
