Filter

Richard Patrick, an early touring member of Nine Inch Nails, met Brian Liesegang and the two began to record together under the name Filter. Their debut album, Short Bus, released on Reprise in 1995, became a surprise hit thanks to the single "Hey Man, Nice Shot"; by the end of the summer, the album had reached gold status. Liesegang departed in 1997 over creative differences, but Patrick retained the Filter name for 1999's Title of Record, which eventually went platinum and spawned another hit, "Take a Picture." The Amalgamut followed three years later, after which the band went on hiatus, returning in 2008 with Anthems for the Damned. ~ John Bush, Rovi

Love these guys, almost like they have a genre of their own B)
I saw bud dwyers suicide when i was little live on tv i lived in Harrisburg pa..
I've seen the video of Dwyer's suicide. Its pretty rough. This song is a pretty twisted take on that. Good track.
I love your fun fact Beastage..I saw the best number ever on Letterman with Richard blowing the roof off the dump. Robert I just saw in Safe House..oh my.
Fun fact: frontman Richard Patrick is the brother of the actor Robert Patrick (Terminator 2, X-Files)
Bree Kesey, you make me so sick. Your comments suck. Your life sucks. Just keep your opinion to yourself. I really dont care how the music relates to your life or your breakups/ You obviously have too much time on your hands.
great band...they have other songs then Hey Man.......An t h e m s for the Damned is a great album!!!!< fyi
MUSICS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU CAN SEE THE WORDS... MAKES MORE SENSE
They came out to see us in Iraq in 2010 and totally rocked our asses off!!! I have loved Filter since the day they formed and always will. Thanks Patrick for risking your a** and coming out to support the troops!
Hey Man Nice Shot is in the new remake of Red Dawn.
Cancer, Take A Picture, The Best Thing... just buy Title of Record, SO good.
Just saw Filter in a small venue in Dallas. They still bring the pain. I will go again in a heartbeat.
I love their song, Hey Man Nice Shot, even though the message is pretty sad. Fun Fact of the day: Hey Man Nice Shot was in the 1997 film The Cable Guy.
Filter has a song in the video game of ATV Offroad Fury 2. It's American Cliche.
Always liked these guys. Don't own any of their albums so I guess I'm a poser for liking their radio stuff.
Big time underrated.
Good group, underrated too
My band is gonna rock this song out tonite at the Plaza in Vegas!
Couple things to clear up: 1) Picture is a very good song cfarmmusic. You're just mad because this song went mainstream and you hate that because you all of a sudden love a song that everyone else loves. You don't feel unique this way. 2) Hey Man Nice Shot is not about Kurt Kobain. It was about the suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer Robert Dwyer who was convicted of bribery and shot himself before he could be sentenced.
diannegia
Before leaving negative comments you should give the benefit of the doubt by checking all of their songs otherwise you are just being unfair : )
cfarmmusic
Stupid Picture song ruined Filter for me, still enjoy Nice Shot but haven't payed attention to them since that terrible song. As far as better than Clutch you must be kidding so I'll just take that comment as a joke ;)
other car parts bands....LMA O . . . t h a t ' s hilarious.
I like Filter better than Clutch or the Radiators or Catalytic Converter or any of the other car parts bands
Saw them in 2008 for their Anthems tour. Opening band couldn't make it so they played twice as long. It was sweet.
only song of there songs i know is nice shot
one of the best rock songs of all time
Like so many songs in music history, the true meaning behind Hey Man, Nice Shot is largely unknown to a majority of listeners, and while lacking this knowledge does not really detract from the overall impact of the song, understandin g the true meaning behind it can make Hey Man, Nice Shot an even more intense musical experience. In truth, the song speaks to a very specific event: the public suicide of Pennsylvania State Treasurer Budd Dwyer on January 22, 1987. Straight from Mr. Patrick
The first three songs on Short Bus are just a great way to open an album, even more so a career.
Filter is one of my favorite bands. A blast to see them live... Short Bus and Title of Record are fantastic, their last few albums are good but not to the same level.
This is a great song which can also be found on the Tales of the Crypt: Demon Knight movie soundtrack (excellent movie). This is a great soundtrack with Filter, Megadeath, and Pantera to name a few.
@Cake Or Death: It's Bud Dwyer-relate d , not Cobain. I've heard the song with an audio clip of his press conference at the beginning of it; and also heard through mainstream media outlets the meaning behind this song from the artists themselves.
Jeremy: If you're asking about "Hey Man Nice Shot," it's about Kurt Cobain. Alternativel y , people also say it's about Bud Dwyer. Take your pick, it works either way.
If you like Filter a must is Army of anyone!!!! every song has depth Richard from Filter and with the brothers Dean DeLeo and Robert DeLeo from STP and Ray Luzier this band ROCKS!!!!
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HEARD THESE GUYS. PRETTY GOOD I THINK. I WISH I KNEW WHO THE SONG WAS ABOUT.
If you love this band or just like it you must try out a band called Lo Pro!!! I just herd them at a buddies house last night and was blown away!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! AMAZING!!!
love this band, very underrated!
Blue Fatty do you like any song?
I always see negative comments from you posted on amazing songs.
Stop listening and give the song a thumbs down.
Music should be uplifting... . . . . . . . .

"Hey Man, Nice Shot". Can I try to "Take a Picture" now?
I wonder if this is what someone told John W. Booth after his epic head shot. E.g. Hey man, nice shot.
I didnt see any of em do any gaddamn thang. But I like filter...thi s is the first time pandora has played them on my station..but they are in my playlist always. mmmm tasty
Robb, I also saw Prong and Filter open for Ozzy on the Retirement Sucks tour in '96. Corrosion of Conformity was originally supposed to be on the tour; not Prong.
@Malevolent Hate...
I saw them open for Ozzy Osbourne back somewhere around '95. I don't recall them doing anything unique. Of course, I was kind of irked that they got a longer set than Prong.
Yeah, "Title of Record" is like in my top 10 albums. Every song on it rocked out. It is super easy to play on guitar too. It is all simple drop D cords with heavy distortion.

"Amalgamut" was alright. I only liked the first few songs. It just wasn't catchy and the lyrics were stretched too thin.
haha well, filter hates you too Wiki Willow

Haha. Well, Pandora has this amazing feature where you can skip songs. You can also never play them again. Everyone else: Pretty sure this guy gets off to our responses to his cut-copy-pas t e postings. I bet he has them saved in a Word Document. Ahhh... see. Ewwww. I'm outta here. I gotta find out if this guy does the same thing in the postings on Godsmack songs where everyone already knows and agrees with what he is saying.
The first 2 records were complete genius, 'Amalgamut' was different but still very listenable. I found 'Anthems for the damned' to be overly contrived material that bordered on garbage and I found to be a huge step back for Richard and Brian whom are both capable of so much better. I have so much respect for both of them and am very confident that there next effort will find them once again making some of the greatest rock material that most ppl don't know about.
in my top 5 bands
I liked it, I thought it was Tool at first.
joe1057
I know...Suck
Short bus was a good album. This band does something very unique in Concert; good way to test and see if you have really seen them.
