Well, it looks like Garth Brooks<\/a> and Blake Shelton<\/a> have found their whiskey river reservoir after all.<\/p>\n

On Brooks\u2019 Facebook live chat on Monday night (Sept. 9), after he\u2019d shared a handful of behind-the-scenes moments from the making of his \u201cDive Bar\u201d music video, it answered a lot of our questions about how literal it would be. And the truth is, it looks like it is the extreme opposite of a literal interpretation of the song. Because for starters, it wasn\u2019t shot in a dive bar. At least, not in the beginning.<\/p>\n

Where it was<\/em> shot was in the deep end of some massive pool, and the band and their instruments are all under water. \u201cLet\u2019s talk about the four band members \u2014 \u201c(Mike) Palmer, (Mark) Greenwood, Gordon (Kennedy) and then the steel player is Mitch Rossell, the writer of the song. He just wanted to be in the video no matter what,\u201d Brooks explained. \u201cWhat these guys didn\u2019t know was they had to get certified as divers. I mean, they were really certified divers. Insurance made them. So, I think Tuesday right before we shot that, they were 100 feet down in a quarry here in Nashville getting their certification.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of Brooks laughing. And laughing. And laughing some more. How can you not when you\u2019re spending time on a set with Shelton? \u201cFor serious, though, I want to say something,\u201d he said during the chat. \u201cThat was frickin\u2019 awesome. Coolest video project. The most fun I\u2019ve ever had on a video shoot. I couldn\u2019t stop laughing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just a great, great weekend. Blake Shelton: I couldn\u2019t ask for more from you, man. What a great partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Brooks doesn\u2019t throw videos together every single time he releases a song, you can tell that this one will be special. And he explains his thoughts on that thusly, \u201cFrom what you\u2019ve seen there, and what I\u2019ve seen here, you\u2019re gonna be ale to compare this to \u2019The Red Strokes\u2019 (1994), \u2019The Thunder Rolls\u2019 (1991), and \u2019More Than a Memory\u2019 (2007).<\/p>\n
