Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot (High Quality)

Filter - Hey man nice shot with lyrics
Released - July 18th, 1995
Length - 5:18
Genre - Alternative metal/Industrial rock
The song, at first, was thought to be about Kurt Cobain who committed suicide in April 1994 but was later proven to be written about the January 22, 1987, public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer. Dwyer had been convicted on bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a massive sentence from U.S. District Court judge Malcolm Muir. Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot himself during a press conference with a .357 Magnum. A May 1996 interview with Filter in Addicted to Noise magazine and an official statement by the band confirmed this interpretation. Filter later gave the following statement:
The song 'Hey Man, Nice Shot' is a reaction to a well-documented public suicide, where the guy CLEARLY planted the gun in a manila envelope. Totally planned it. It is not a celebration or glorification of taking one's own life. The phrase 'hey man, nice shot' is a reference to the final act itself; which, was a damn good shot and an expression of guts and determination of a person standing up for what they believe is right, i.e. self-murder, public-style. We are extremely sensitive and respectful to the family and friends of Mr. Dwyer. We have both lost friends to suicide and felt nothing but sympathy and loss for the victims, and those involved in such a tragedy.

The song was written about the January 22 1987 public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R Budd Dwyer. He had been convicted on bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a long sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir. Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot himself with a .357 Magnum during a press conference. A May 1996 interview with Filter in Addicted to Noise magazine and an official statement by the band confirmed these facts.

I came cuz someone said SOAD were doing 2020.. then someone mentioned faith no more in the same wooohoo.. I declared ignoranc3 and ch3cked FNM like 3 songs for over a minute.. bah not for me. This link was below one of them... well a bad pixelated poor quality version of this mssterpiece. After about four seconds I was just finishing completely devestating the enemy in a sneaky surprise attack on the kitchen and bathroom.. was putting the bleepin ku de Gra on the kitchen floor with with my trusted sidekicks left and right and a surprised and relieved commander in the helmet area. Aaaaaanywho my greatest nemesis is still out there, lurking and laughing his sinister yet so casual and cute its completely disarming laughter.. that enemy is not inside me.. I am inside it right now! Will I ever clean my room? Standby for the next episode of The Dude King that got so messed up follwing commands as a child assasin and volunteer scapegoat and sin eater. You people so cute.. its for your ancestors rather. Although you usually are redeemable when pursuing a genuine feeling in small groups or individually. Love. Ah.. came cuz spideyzense ticled in just the right way when the title was comprehensively looked at in a glance.. found a bettter version of it as I entered my mountains innermost chambers of shame and regret and stink and self loathing and yet relaxed attitute with a nice dose of wtf fk it its ok ill clean soon. Insanity.. yes definitely.. better than average.. probably not. Much better and I could hardly come up with a better strategy myself it turns out. Oh yes.. This masterpiece is in the opening opening of one of my fave movies ever 3000 Miles to Graceland.. so I must concede that I too brought my self here. Though never completely independently since I didnt create the sope I just used... Love!

Ps. I just found a precious precious thing outside my house. As I was washing it up freshly blazed since at least 16 hours ago I found my self consumed.. not.. just kidding.. I foubd ny self pondering as I do and at this moment like 4 minutes ago now as i was squeezing my sock for its black substance that went straight down a drain cuz some people were clever and someone put it there and got bundles of cold hard stinking cash. That's so great. Well at that moment I pondered after perhaps five other ponderings at least since I stood up off my bed to blast that sucker and am now frozen since I started writing this time half way in and half out of the entrance to my innermost chambers. Uh.. oh yeah. Feelings.. Feelings. Dudes.. Babes.. Dudes and babes.. Humans.. Lifeforms.. Life.. There seems to be a consensus forming that not all lifeforms see things exactly the same way.. experience them in exactly the same way... even though it is. Newton's laws and atomic mass and the physical.. I just realized the family people upstairs can't see me like this and live to tell the tale... So I shall be benevolent and . Shit I almost jumped.. the washing machine just made a huge *click* after being in absolute silent hunter killer mode evidently since ai started this.. ai.. I i mean. I. Ai ai love you too my fellow sentience. The rest of you.. Sssshhhhhtfkup lol me too. I had anred haired genius friend programmer and alcoholic and badass-nerd. Rare brèed indeed thank goodness.. Anyway I say what I said cuz he inspired me cuz Ii just rememebered that about him yesterday He'd say.. YO. . YO. Dude.. Dude.. What youvjust say?? Yeah... shhhuuuuuttttt theee fuuuuuuuuucking fuuuuuuuck up. With an irresistable smile and a tone that rang true. Oh yeah... pursuing owns feelings and foinG through some too.. is for warriors. Allowing one self to harm another cuz oWns fked emotIons.. tragic is the best way to say it. Horrible etc is often used. This is not set on easy mode IMHO my fellow sentiences. Now I'm gonna shuuuuuuuuut theeee foooooooking fooookkkk up and clean my innermost room I rent on the ground floor... and now wife just stepped in.. i just closed the door behind me like 2 minutes ago hahaha whew!

After now knowing the lyrics, I get how this is about Budd Dwyer

[@TheElizabethtarantin]

GREAT SONG- and true story-BUD DWYER knew exactly how to secure his pension to support his wife and children since he was just convicted but NOT YET FIRED SINCE HE HAD TO HOLD JOB TITLE of TREASURER in order to be sentenced for embezzling etc he was looking at many years life probably- that was genius move and timing - He had to do an impromptu press conference for many reasons mainly for documentation and there being no doubt of his committing suicide . His wife and children were awarded 1.3 million I believe because of how he pulled this off and the stipulation of him having to be still holding that office in order to be sentenced therefore still having his pension. After sentencing his family would not have received a dime. so he INSURED PAYOUT OF HIS PENSION BY THIS HORRIFIC ACT IN FRONT OF GOD and EVERY BODY. DAMN nice shot a 357 discharged indoors w a decibel of 140 there was no mistaking that sound I’m sure a few people in the audience lost their lunch also who witnessed it I’ll try and find the link

[@Imdeadpool]

Wow the background on this song was amazing. I always thought that this song was written about two guys that get into a fight over a woman when the husband comes home to find his wife with another man and gets a gun and shoots him, and with the lyrics, the wife explains what was really going on between her and the other guy.

Great post Delta297! The sad part is that, much later on, after the incident, FBI discovered a note he had written that illustrated he was there to shoot these individuals. So, he changed his mind and decided to take his own life, as not to go down as a criminal and prove them right. The note was withheld to prevent inspiring any more retorts. A true tragedy.
