"Born Too Slow" is the first single released from The Crystal Method's third studio album, Legion of Boom. The song features the vocals of Kyuss lead singer John Garcia and guitar by Limp Bizkit's Wes Borland. The song was first featured on EA's in 2003, with the single being released later that year. The song has also been featured in Gran Turismo 4 and Donkey Konga 2. In 2006, it was featured in the movie Annapolis. It is also in the drama The O.C.
The music video was directed by Gore Verbinski, director of such films as The Mexican, The Ring, and the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Mr. Verbinski liked the song so much, he asked The Crystal Method if he could direct the video for it. Wes Borland makes a cameo appearance as a man using a pay phone. Fitness expert Billy Blanks Jr. starred in the video as the silver man. Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan also cameo as the two men in line after the silver man gets his drink.
