And then over a year later, they say, "Nah, it's about Bud Dwyer" and it's mostly cool.īut what I didn't know, is that some fans were suggesting Bud Dwyer before the band said anything. And there's no way the song isn't about Kurt, it makes no sense.įrom my memory, and checking just now, some fans were angry that Filter would write a song about Kurt so soon after his suicide that seemed to look at it positively in some ways. When the band said the song was about Budd Dwyer's suicide, and not Kurt Cobain's, I just accepted it and moved on.īud Dwyer was mentioned in a frontpage post today (can't find it sorry), and it got me thinking about this again for the first time in over 15 years. I’m ready to punch myself in the face right now.Dunno if this is the right subreddit, but there doesn't appear to be an r/askmusic (I mean, there is but nobody on it) or something like that.Īnyway, when I was a teenager, I really liked Filter and of course Hey Man, Nice Shot. Also, talk about a song that pumps you up. You cannot get tired of this riff or this song no matter how many times you play it. “‘Hey Man, Nice Shot’ was the ‘aha moment,’ where you’re like, ‘That was so easy.’ Coming up with the riff and chorus was one of those things like, ‘Well, how the f–k hasn’t anyone ever done this?’ Like, in the last 500 years of music, how in the hell has someone never just pieced this together? Because it makes so much sense, such a perfect little never-ending riff that you could just play forever and ever and ever and it would never get old. At least one TV station ran the footage on their local news.įilter frontman Richard Patrick had this to say about the song when he wrote it: ![]() He died instantly as cameras rolled and people in the room screamed. ![]() On January 22, 1987, he called a press conference where he pulled out a gun, put it in his mouth, and pulled the trigger. He was tried and found guilty of racketeering, bribery, fraud, and conspiracy. Budd Dwyer, who was the Pennsylvania state treasurer. But the way, know what the song is actually about? Solid uses of the song in television took place in The X-Files, Supernatural and Tales from the Crypt “Demon Knight.” But how in the world has this song not been better used in a film? I would think that David Fincher could find a scene where this song would fit in perfectly. The only movie it’s known to be in is the movie Cable Guy during the basketball scene. You know what confuses me most about the song “Hey man, nice shot” by Filter? That the song never had a better use in a movie.
