There were motorcycles everywhere and jacked up trucks. It was a good time, man! It was like a party all day long. I can honestly say, watching them put together the steel ball of death, and getting in there with those guys, man, the whole thing was a good time. It was an awesome experience and that\u2019s one video shoot that I would do all over again, several times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the video bring your song to life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s exactly what we went after. We really, really did try to capture a country circus, like a redneck circus. I feel like that definitely came to life! Our \u201cKickin\u2019 It in the Sticks\u201d video is a field party\/bonfire song, and I\u2019ve written a few songs that have that storyline or close to it, so we knew we had to do something a little bit different. And with this video, I really think it brought it to life but it gave it another life too. It\u2019s something we hadn\u2019t done and something that folks hadn\u2019t seen out of us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What message do you hope your fans take away from the video?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is one that\u2019s not like \u201cOne Hell of an Amen\u201d or \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know Her Like I Do\u201d or any of that. It\u2019s a fun-loving good-timin\u2019 song. So, I hope they take that away from the video and have a good time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did it feel to see the finished product for the first time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After shooting this video, one of the main things we all talked about how there was so much going on throughout the day. The set had so many things going on! You had the ring dancers and the girl breathing fire, literally, and the steel ball of death and motorcycles, and all the fire. We were a little concerned about how to wrap that all into the length of the song. Shaun did an amazing job, of course. He\u2019s incredible at what he does and did an incredible job. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Songwriters: Brantley Gilbert, Brandon Day, Justin Weaver; Director: Shaun Silva <\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1819500\/brantley-gilbert-firet-up-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 21m ago Brantley Gilbert knew he needed to up the game for his brand new \u201cFire\u2019t Up\u201d video.
