"Revolution is My Name" reached number 28 on the Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks. The song was nominated for Best Metal Performance in the 2001 Grammys. The song's music video was voted as the 15th Greatest Metal Video of the 21st Century on Headbangers Ball in 2005.
The music video for the song was directed by Jim Van Bebber.[1] The video is a mix of various elements: between performances from the band and live footage, it also contains comical snippets of a sitcom-esque interpretation of the band's childhood, where the musicians are portrayed as small kids (with facial hair included) listening to Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top while jumping on the bed and playing oversized instruments. The video also includes flashes of the band's influences such as Black Sabbath and KISS.
