I first heard the song when I was 12... and I always thought it was about basketball. like Michael Jordan's jumpshot.

[@bigdog517]

So innocent haha

[@AbbyJasmine-xu1kg]

That’s super cute

[@spoon8656]

Hey man nice shot was more to his listeners as he made it out to be. This song (in 1995) had me learn that Buddy Dwyer was an American hero that will be forgotten...

[@questionsexe3631]

Me too, and it still makes me cry. That man had serious courage.
Thank you Filter, for the enlightenment.

[@kimberlymisfit3544.]

I saw that Bud Dwyer thing live when I was little...Edit- I live in NJ...I remember people I knew watching it on Faces of Death n I was instantly brought back to seeing that..

[@toddmckenzie0420]

That was not played live on TV. It was shown on TV later that day, but it wasn't live. That's Urban legend.

[@questionsexe3631]

And AS USUAL, society projected their own issues onto subjective artwork and the artist was blamed.
I am SO VERY thankful for Filter. It was a VERY nice shot.
How's it go? "Give me liberty of give me death."
I'd like to add that death is also liberty.
It is not the end.
BOUND BY FLESH
FREED BY BLOOD

What happened to the last part of the video. Thank u for being very informant otherwise r.p.

[@Spedly]

The song was written about Budd Dwyer

[@Jesussavesmefrom]

Time to time i have suicidal thoughts but when people are laughing and joking about it makes me feel a bit better about suicide and gives me time to think about if i really should do it or not. I gotta keep reminding myself that suicide isn't an option no matter what it would cause more problems than anything else and i don't wanna do that.

[@jhamptonjr]

I knew it was about the politician from the get-go. I never heard that rumor about it being Kurt cobained.

[@marcopervo]

That’s quite a radio voice asking a hack question.

[@thewedge8823]

hahah that's hilarious!! Hey man nice shot lmao

[@jessetregarthen4672]

The freaky thing is that I read a biography about Kurt and it turns out he was obsessed with that video. He used to sit there and watch it over and over again.

[@Ryan-vg4wn]

Video released in July 95, Kurt died 94...

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

Ryan Beattie the suicide video

[@AbbyJasmine-xu1kg]

I never thought that. I just thought it was awesome

[@kingloser4198]

Think I first heard it when watching Cable Guy. That's what video plays in my head when I hear it anyway - ruclips.net/video/g16IV1ZyRC4/видео.html

[@ptNirvana]

Makes a lot of sense, the fact that all the "Seattle" DJ's would keep pushing that statement "its about Kurt Cobain" BECAUSE: they were well paid to say that!!! All part of the Courtney Love cover-up!!

[@Redtee1986]

Kurtsgirl 😂😂😂😂😂 you're high and stupid huh?

[@Shanan81]

oh fuck off idiot

[@Redtee1986]

TA A I’m gonna assume it’s some kid who prolly wasn’t coherent for Kurt’s death 🤦‍♀️

[@lewisbush7732]

kurt cobain died in 1994 hey man nice shot was realised in 1995

[@frontman71]

The song was written in 1991

[@Ryan-vg4wn]

@@frontman71 video wasn't though

[@ThirdCoastNative]

Ryan Beattie the argument is that the song is about Kurt Cobain not the video, don’t be so ignorant.

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

Disturbing.
