The original 1988 music video was banned by MTV for its ending sequence, in which a live chicken is sacrificed and an inverted cross is drawn in its blood. Despite Danzig’s claim that he would not cater his videos to MTV’s standards, a new video was eventually produced five years later with entirely different visuals.
“Mother” became a hit on radio and MTV in 1993–1994, after a music video with live footage was created to promote the band’s new live EP, Thrall: Demonsweatlive. The song peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and 43 on the Hot 100. In the UK, the song peaked at number 62 on the singles chart.
The song appeared in video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, on the station Radio X. It also appeared in Guitar Hero 2 and True Crime: New York City, and in the game Guitar Hero: Smash Hits.
