Apparently Homme usually get smashed when performing (and afterwards) and decided against it at Austin City Limits so he could watch the Arctic Monkeys the next day.

 

He said:

 

Watching them play was my highlight of the whole night. They're a really great live band - they're like a tight little spring, you know? I didn't even get tipsy because I was too busy watching them play!

 

Hey, I saw him play that day; I guess I should feel lucky.
