MTV will not air the video during daytime hours anymore because it features nudity in the form of pin-up posters and ''[[Playboy]]'' centerfolds that are taped up in the studio. It also has a picture of [[Winger (band)|Winger]]'s [[Kip Winger]] which Ulrich is seen throwing darts at. On the band's 2006 music video compilation DVD, the posters are censored, as was done with the nudity featured in the music videos for "[[Turn the Page (Bob Seger song)#Covers|Turn the Page]]" and "[[Whiskey in the Jar]]".

In August 2021, the music video hit one billion views on YouTube, making it Metallica's first music video to do so.<ref name="Mamo"/>
