Richard Patrick tells us that this song hit like a bolt of lightning. Here's the story: "'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.
A couple facts... as the state treasurer, he uncovered unlawful uses of money by the governor, for example, the governor used state police to transport his children to boarding school, or something of that nature. Budd committed suicide because, had he been convicted in a corruption scandal involving a contract (who could say whether he was innocent or set up), his family wouldn't have received his pension. Because he died before the trial went on, they received it.
The only reason he wasn't officially found guilty is because he killed himself and you can't hold a trial against a dead man. The records of what went down and the extent of what he did is extremely well documented, and he was absolutely guilty. This was back when politicians had the integrity to recuse themselves when caught red handed of wrongdoing.
Aria Britton yeah, the US and UK release of this version (called Big Mac instead of Full Extension) has “early ending” and “gun” edited out. The uncensored version was released in Germany and Australia.
Depending on what the 'purists' say, would probably call this Harsh Pop/Aggressive Pop. But to me as long as it's Rock and Electronic, with enough harshness, it's still Industrial.
Frank Cavanaugh (currently Sgt. Cavanaugh, serving overseas in the army) was the original bass player, and in my opinion, the man who put the 'bad-ass' in the driving bass spine of this song. Checkout the videos from Filter going overseas for the USO, and getting joined by Sgt. Cavanaugh on stage for playing this song in front of the troops.
Hey man nice version! Filter is one of the heaviest bands in rock history. Take it from a veteran rockhead who has seen the following bands in concert: Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Creed, Linkin Park, Staind, Evanescence, Chevelle, Oceans ate Alaska, Aerosmith, UFO, Brian Adams and other great bands.
Robin Trower, RUSH, Journey, Bad Co, Aerosmith, Alice In Chains, Foghat, Eddie Money, Johnny Lang, Peter Frampton, Cal Jam 2, Blue Oyster Cult, Metallica, Cheap Trick and Oz Fest...
I wish I would've met you Now it's a little late What you could've taught me I could've saved some face They think that your early ending Was all wrong For the most part, they're right But look how they all got strong That's why I say Hey man nice shot What a good shot man Thats why I say Hey man nice shot What a good shot man A man has gun Hey man, have fun Nice shot Now that the smoke's gone And the air is all clear Those who were right there Got a new kind of fear You'd fight and you were right But they were just too strong They'd stick it in your face And let you smell What they consider wrong That's why I say Hey man nice shot What a good shot man Thats why I say Hey man nice shot What a good shot man A man has gun Hey man, have fun Nice shot A man has gun Nice shot man Hey, nice shot man I wish I would've met you I wish I would've met you I wish I would've met you I wish I would've met you I'd say nice shot
Oh fuck yeah mannnnnnn! Damn good version. But nothing beats their live version of this song from around 96 or 97! This song could literally be 25:45 long and I would still want more!!
There's a documentary about Budd Dwyer, which this song is based upon, called "An Innocent Man" which is about the circumstancing leading up to his suicide and is pretty sad, I highly recommend people see it.
Yeah it comes around shows you the best of something then takes it away With teeth Just completely ruins something for you Got you shaking a fist at the sky was it better to have bitten from this apple? 4 hours of flopping around being reborn waited all my life to have a taste of it now I've been broken by it Endless black hole of suffocation stagnated by memories of what it really ment to be alive Like a lightning bolt trapped in a broken windshield painted by a painters brush trapped in a memory by you and one other person I met her in a dream 3 times one night 3 months before it happened she's gone and I'll never be the same
Truth that I'd like everyone to take to heart. Poor Bud. What comes to mind these days on the topic of false-accusations are the little chicks who think its fine to cry rape when in fact all that happened was a few too many non-cohersed drinks a little drunken consensual fun.
lasyke3 actually he was innocent...supporting evidence came out a while back...he was a good man who got played by the same system we all get played by everyday, the government...
I'm no expert but I believe it has to do with something of either money or rights. some songs especially extended or additional release have special copyright protections. (Have you viewed how many companies get paid every time this song gets played the list is at least 11 plus for one song)
He was good friends with my uncle, My uncle stated Bud had called him the night before his suicide and told him of his innocents... Sad What politics and society do to those who don't play ball
I never heard of his story. I watched 4:43 of color version bud dwyer's speech and then the uncensored end. I know the pledge of allegiance and the national anthem word for word (lots of americans do not-they don't care) and this made cry 1-2 tears. I'm a 37 yr old grown man. Nice to see politicians smoking on tv when we were a free country too. Like how the witnesses recanted and his wife was burried at his side-never remarried. Nationalism>capitalism
I wouldn't say there's nothing better, but I also love the beginning of the movie. this track looks good at the beginning of the movie, as it adds a sense of tension. This makes the chase brighter emotionally.
This song confused me for a long time, not because I was unaware of Budd Dwyer's suicide, but just because of the vocals - It sounds like the chorus, where he sings "A man has gun.....NICE SHOT!", is actually "Hey man, nice goin'.....NICE SHOT!", and the part where he ACTUALLY sings "That's why I say: Hey man, nice shot" goes "That's why I'm saving the nation...." So until I started paying closer attention to the verses, I thought it was a song about one of those shooters who decides they're an angel of death and their choice to kill OTHERS -not themselves (necessarily)- is somehow "mericful".....
Well, i heard this Song, From this Movie Soundtrack " Demon Knight " From Tales from the Cyrpt The Movie's, and It's Suits With the Movie's too !!! Well Other Movie's Also get this Song's and put to their Soundtrack Also...' So I decided bought this Albums Backed in the Days, When They Release this 1st Industrial Metal and Chart for Rock/Metal Music # 1 in East Coast !!! I guess so !!! Cool Song, Yeah It's Related it about Guns, to that very Dangerous, Also too...' Rock On this Song's !!!
i lived in steelton .right next to harrisburg pa. i saw it on local news.it was a shame but he was not innocent he was guilty as fuck and afraid of going to jail
love end where it goes into a jam and hear those double kick drums. like it rolling kick. sounds awesome. had to be he used two pedals. I'm. and I thought this song was about shooting dope/heroin.

Yeah brotha
Yup.
Much better than the radio single version
RIght? Super curious as to where this version came from.
There was a commercial break in the song‼️Not cool🚫😎
I couldn't have said that better myself, man.
The best part of a solo road trip. Hot summer night. Driving on the with windows down. Blasting this track.
Filter from CLEVELAND...drive the Lakeshore frwy with Nice Shot blasting across Lake Erie to Canada. Natural high
One of the best drop D bass lines ever 🤘🤘🤘
agreed!!!
Other than live, this is by far, the best versiion I've heard so far.
How about now?
Thank you Altdan still have my vinyl of this. Amazing now 2023
Anyone here ever hear of Bud Dwyer ? Well that's what this song is about ! A live suicide on national television ! RIP Bud....

That is kickass, serving my ears and my country!
Nice song to listen to when you are depressed and or moody.
or suicidal.
finally i found the uncensored version of this song
you can say that its the unfiltered version huh
That's why I say nice shot

I wish I would've met you
Now it's a little late
What you could've taught me
I could've saved some face
They think that your early ending
Was all wrong
For the most part, they're right
But look how they all got strong
That's why I say
Hey man nice shot
What a good shot man
Thats why I say
Hey man nice shot
What a good shot man
A man has gun
Hey man, have fun
Nice shot
Now that the smoke's gone
And the air is all clear
Those who were right there
Got a new kind of fear
You'd fight and you were right
But they were just too strong
They'd stick it in your face
And let you smell
What they consider wrong
That's why I say
Hey man nice shot
What a good shot man
Thats why I say
Hey man nice shot
What a good shot man
A man has gun
Hey man, have fun
Nice shot
A man has gun

ThanQue Andrew, More People Need to Know This travesty of Justice so it Doesnt happen again
This song reminds me of last summer when I stayed up all night a lot and listened to this while doing it and now I'm almost tearing up of nostalgia.

With teeth
Just completely ruins something for you
Got you shaking a fist at the sky was it better to have bitten from this apple?
4 hours of flopping around being reborn waited all my life to have a taste of it now I've been broken by it
Endless black hole of suffocation stagnated by memories of what it really ment to be alive
