Eminem performs 'Walk on Water' live for the first time (sans Beyoncé, sadly)

Eminem's Revival is off to a great start.

Two days after the rapper dropped the first track from his new album, he showed up at the MTV EMAs to perform it in person.

And even though Beyoncé wasn't around to lend her vocals this time, Eminem had no trouble commanding the stage with his intense, introspective performance. (Skylar Grey, who co-wrote Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie," subbed in for Beyoncé's parts.)

Eminem's spent the past several weeks teasing the impending release of Revival – his first new album in four years – but as of now, we don't know exactly when it'll hit. If the rollout of "Walk on Water" is any indication, though, Eminem still knows exactly how to make a big splash.
