Music video
The "Miss Murder" video, which was directed by Marc Webb, was world premiered on MTV's TRL on May 8 2006. AFI was also featured on the show the same day. The video was premiered at the Nokia Theater in New York City, New York. Over 1,000 AFI fans gathered in the theater for an exclusive listening party of the new album prior to the premiere of the video. Recently the video has taken the top spot on MTV2's T-Minus Rock.
A director's cut of the video was released first on Yahoo! Music, and later broadcasted on various television stations. This cut featured the song "Prelude 12/21", making the original Yahoo! release of this video the first ever appearance of Decemberunderground's introductory track in full studio quality, being that the album was not yet available in stores.
The video went on to receive three nods in the MTV Video Music Awards, but took home just one: that of the Best Rock Video.
