"30/30-150" is the first single from rock band Stone Sour's second album from 2006 Come What(ever) May. The song received a nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 49th annual Grammy Awards.[1]
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. The numbers seen in the background appear to count down the time remaining in the clip in tenths of a second, beginning at 3030.150.
The title may possibly refer to a type of rifle cartridge (.30-30, with a 150-grain (9.7 g) bullet), though this is uncertain. According to Taylor, a possible interpretation of the song is about "always remembering who you are, where you came from and to never give into pressures."
Another interpretation of the song is based on the theory of the code 30/30-150. It means 'total nuclear annihilation.'
Though current Stone Sour drummer Roy Mayorga is shown on the drumset in the 30/30-150 music video, he did not actually record the drum tracks for the song, this was done by current Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin.
