Background

In an interview with Rock Star Tribune, Ben stated:

"Skin" is a radio thing and it doesn't go over that great live. I mean, we play it good, but it's just the crowd, especially on a tour like this; we have to play our heaviest shit. So, it really doesn't fit in to that mix but it does well on the radio. It shows another side of what we can do.[1]

The song has been performed twice on live television. The first performance was aired on March 14, 2003 on Last Call with Carson Daly[2] and the second was aired on April 7, 2003 on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.[3]
