It's only about 12 seconds of actual dude-on-fire footage (the dude being the drummer, I believe). When it was released, MTV promptly banned it from daytime viewing, and was shown with a warning about not setting yourself on fire.

Also: The Beavis and Butthead episode with this video in it is a CLASSIC.
