Watch: Queens of the Stone Age perform 'Running Joke' on 'Kimmel'
The band, introduced by guest host Anthony Anderson, performed the songs as they appear in Alive in the Catacombs, the band's film chronicling their performance in the catacombs beneath Paris.
"Running Joke" originally appeared as a bonus track on the band's 2007 album, Era Vulgaris.
"Paper Machete" first appeared on their 2023 release In Times New Roman.
Queens of the Stone Age: Alive in the Catacombs was filmed and recorded in July 2024 in the catacombs beneath Paris.
"Every aesthetic decision, every choice of song, every configuration of instruments... absolutely everything was planned and played with deference to the Catacombs -- from the acoustics and ambient sounds -- dripping water, echoes and natural resonance -- to the darkly atmospheric lighting tones that enhance the music," the official synopsis reads.
The film is available now to stream and download.

Watch: Blackpink's 'Jump' music video inspired by the group's 'fervor'
Blackpink shared the behind-scenes-footage from their most recent music video on Monday. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 21 (UPI) -- South Korean girl group Blackpink is giving fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the making of the music video for "Jump," their first single of 2025. An approximately 8-minute video shows K-pop stars Lisa, Rose, Jennie and Jisoo as they run through a city street and dance while suspended in the air, before a green screen. "There are a lot of green screens here. It's a lot of post," says director Dave Meyers in the featurette. "Sometimes the post allows you to keep up with the pace of the song." "Some of these setups were inspired by the fervor of Blackpink coming back together," he added. "You know, it's exciting and the fans are gonna freak out and that's because they've got Blackpink on the mind, because they're back. It's very exciting to have them all together. It's an exciting moment." The "Jump" music video, released earlier this month, shows the pop stars appear on billboards, and the song overtakes the entire city as everyone begins dancing. Blackpink, currently on their Deadline tour through January, released their album Born Pink in 2022. Separately, the singers have released solo projects.
