Overview

This single is the second single released from Steal This Album!. As in the case with most songs from Steal This Album!, it has only been played live on very few occasions, only once being known (but not available). In a Reddit AMA, drummer John Dolmayan stated, "We have played boom a few times but because it's a spoken word song, it doesn't have the same impact live."[2]

The song was leaked prior to the album's release, included in the Toxicity II bootleg, under the name "Everytime".[3] The origin of the leak is unknown. The version that appeared on the bootleg used early recordings, notably missing some guitar tracks.

Music video

For the music video, the band worked with filmmaker Michael Moore.[4] The video uses footage from the February 15, 2003 anti-war protests. The video also shows a cartoon of George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein, Tony Blair, and Osama bin Laden riding rockets over a city, referencing the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Shortly after its release, the video was banned from MTV Europe.[5]
