Maybe the fact that the video shows Garth bathing in sheets of blood as he screams "Passions uncaged! Thundering moments of tenderness rage!" had something to do with its less-than-aggressive promotion. (It was even left off Brooks'
Ultimate Hits DVD.) The clip and a description of its most horrifying moments wait below.
