In retrospect, Robb Flynn has been ambivalent about the video, saying "me dressed up as like an orange-juice-box in the “From This Day” video is definitely one of those “what-the-fuck-was-I-thinking” moments".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theprp.com/2013/12/11/news/machine-heads-robb-flynn-concludes-tenth-anniversary-look-back-at-through-the-ashes/|title=Machine Head's Robb Flynn Concludes Tenth Anniversary Look Back At "Through The Ashes..."|date=December 11, 2013}}</ref> Guitarist Ahrue Luster would later admit that the infamous orange jacket Flynn was wearing was actually his, but he gave it to Flynn after he didn't like the fit of it.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vc8HMImmgU|title=Ahrue Luster on Working With Ross Robinson "I Thought I Was Going To Cry" | Nu Pod|date=March 8, 2024|via=YouTube}}</ref>
