| • | "Hey Man, Nice Shot" was the first song from 1990s industrial rock band Filter to garner airplay and fame. The song was mostly notorious as the song was believed to be honoring the January 22, 1987 public suicide of Pennsylvania state senator Budd Dwyer,who shot himself during a press confrence with a .357 magnum, and a May 1996 interview with Filter in "Addicted to Noise" magazine and official statement by the band confirmed this. Many have speculated that it could also be a lyrical paean to Kurt Cobain. Filter explained in an official statement:
The song 'Hey Man Nice Shot' is a reaction to a well-documented public suicide. It is not a celebration or glorification of taking one's own life. The phrase 'hey man, nice shot' is not a reference to the final act itself, but rather an expression of guts and determination of a person standing up for what they believe is right. 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.
