As we wrote in 2019 when breaking down the song: Mudvayne's "Dig" is simply outlandish. The meme-immortalized single crackles and pops like the Red Hot Chili Peppers being spit-roasted over the open flames of Slipknot's "Psychosocial" video. It's funk from hell. Nu-metal meets "math metal," the band's own somewhat tongue-in-cheek descriptor of their sound.
With the Illinois-bred quartet — then known as Kud, Gurrg, Ryknow and sPaG — have played the song many times before taking their extended break, and many times since reuniting in 2021, but one of their best performances of the iconic tune was back in the beginning, in 2000, at a little club called CBGB. Watch the wild, frenetic run-through above.
