"Hey Man Nice Shot" is a song by American rock band Filter, released in 1995 as the lead single from their debut studio album, Short Bus.
Dwyer had been convicted of bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a lengthy sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir.
Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot and killed himself with a .357 Magnum revolver during a live televised press conference.
[8][9] When Marilyn Manson sampled the audio of Dwyer's suicide, Filter's Richard Patrick heard the sample and was excited by it; Manson believes that this interaction inspired Patrick to write "Hey Man Nice Shot."
[7][10][11] Musically, the verses of the song feature a "bed of ambient guitar" made with looped feedback[12] as well as a distinctive palm-muted bass line, contrasting with the louder, guitar-heavy choruses and ending.
