In This Moment...

Video for Today...

Lyrics~

Welcome to the gun show

Hey cowboy how's it going tonight?

Come on in and you can buy me a drink

Hey cowboy I see your pistol is cocked

And you got a look on your face like you want to rock

Welcome to the gun show

Tonight we get wild

Welcome to the gun show

Where the dead come alive

(Where the dead come alive)

Hey cowboy I hope you're fast

'Cause I'm the baddest gunslinger ever was

Hey outlaw, follow me outside

And keep your fingers on the triggers while we put you under

Welcome to the gun show

Tonight we get wild

(Tonight we get wild)

Welcome to the gun show

Where the dead come alive

(Where the dead come alive)

It all comes down to a single moment

The strong will fight and the weak will run

Slide the bullet in the barrel

Let me see you count to ten and draw your guns

Showdown

May the best man win

May the best man win

May the best man win

Welcome to the gun show

(Welcome to the gun show)

Tonight we get wild

(Tonight we get wild)

Welcome to the gun show

(Welcome to the gun show)

Where the dead come alive

(Where the dead come alive)

Welcome to the gun show

(Welcome to the gun show)

Welcome to the gun show

(Welcome to the gun show)

Welcome to the gun show

(Welcome to the gun show)

Welcome to the gun show

(Welcome to the gun show)

Come on cowboys

Come on cowboys

"The Gun Show" represents the bands return to a heavier sound. Guitarist Chris Howorth says, "we just wanted to come out with a really heavy metal track to show everybody that In This Moment is back in metal and we’re embracing that part of ourselves." It contains screaming by lead vocalist Maria Brink throughout the song with no clean vocals, a first for the band.

Music video

On May 1, 2010, the band posted a flyer on their Twitter and Myspace asking their Los Angeles area fans to come out in full cowboy costume for the music video. The video was directed by David Brodsky and debuted on Revolver TV June 23.

Brink describes the song and video shoot: "It's kind of a western ranch feel video for sure. I dressed up as a cowgirl and have these cowgirls in the video with me. We had so much fun doing it. It's just, I think it's one of the heaviest songs and we really love it, and its just a fun, awesome, summertime kick ass song."
