Music video


The music video for the song won the MTV2 Award in 2001[10] and was directed by Thomas Mignone.[11] It was one of the first music videos to feature heavy metal artists in vibrant, brightly lit and color-saturated images, in sharp contrast to the dark, shadowy videos typical of the genre.[citation needed] The award was to honor the best overall achievement by an act whose video premiered on MTV2 and received significant on-air rotation.[10] A special edition DVD single was released featuring nine different camera angles, allowing viewers to switch between the various bandmembers' performances filmed during the video's production. The DVD also included a behind the scenes featurette titled "Dig a Little Deeper".
