Inhale 30/30- 150 Through Glass

"30/30-150" is the first single from the rock band Stone Sour's sophomore album from 2006 Come What(ever) May. The song received a nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 49th annual Grammy Awards.[1] Ufortunaly for them, they lost to Slayer.

The video shows the band members individually in high-contrast black and white superimposed over a timer counting down from "3030.150" and occasionally large close-ups of Corey Taylor's mouth. According to Taylor, the song is about always remembering who you are, where you came from and to never give in to pressures.

The title refers to a .30-30 Winchester cartridge with a 150-grain bullet.
