Music Video
A music video for "Freak on a Leash" was released on February 5, 1999, and debuted on Total Request Live. The music video was recorded on December 13 and 14, 1998, in Los Angeles, California. It was directed by Todd McFarlane who was assisted by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. The music video contains a mixture of animation and live performance footage. Although it was expected to be released in January 1999, it was pushed back to February 1999. The video "gives all involved the chance to flaunt their strengths" and "twists an animated adventure around the children he created for the Follow the Leader cover art." The directory work was described as combining "special effects and clever camera moves in the live action portion of the video." An accidentally-fired bullet breaks out of animation world into the real world and wreaks much property damage (while narrowly avoiding hitting many people) before flying around the members of Korn and going back the way it came, returning to animation world.
The video won awards for Best Editing and Best Rock Video at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, and later received the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video in 2000. It became the ninth video that was retired from Total Request Live on May 11, 1999. The music video was also featured on Deuce.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practise politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
