the video consisted of the band playing in a house as it's flooding(I don't remember why) and at the end of the video the band is on the roof?

Thanks for that.
Not a great song by any means, but just a video from the past that I could never remember the band or the song title. Been driving me nuts for like 8 years....

I actually like that song by them. Sure it is a definite change in their style, but it's a good song. The story behind it is pretty funny.

quote:

Filter's frontman, and founding member Richard Patrick has said that the song is about him getting drunk on an airplane, taking off all of his clothes, and fighting with the flight attendants who tried to stop him.[1] This would account for the introductory, and later-repeated, lyrics: "Awake on my airplane, awake on my airplane...my skin is bare, my skin is theirs."

just saw them at the Varsity last April. My .02:

They were a very underrated rock band who I thought would lean more to the industrial side, but became a harder guitar band.

Their first album, "Short Bus", was pretty good...nothing earth-shattering.

I thought that "Title of Record" was well-produced and compiled in an awesomely orderly fashion. I thought "Skinny" was the track that should have garnered them more success; however, "Welcome to the Fold" was a damn strong opening track (following a very long NIN "Pinion-esque" intro).

"Take A Picture" was a good song before radio got a hold of it and made it a soundtrack to commercials and teenager films. I thought it was very un-Filter-like, but it seemed to work being right in the middle of the album. There were 2-3 filler tracks on both of their albums, but both were good.

In 2013...in concert...awful. Had it not been for APC's drummer joining the band to replace, their sound would have been a bore (that guy is AMAZING on the drums!). Richard Patrick has little-man syndrome much like the old Reznor did. He was a dick, said too much between songs - some of which was very degrading to any military members in the house - and he still thinks he's 27 and "Hey Man Nice Shot" is killing the charts. NO, you're not going to see a great Filter show 14 years after they were HUGE, but you should not have to hear Richard Patrick whine like a 16-year-old drunk girl. There were not even 100 fans present. Red Line Chemistry opened for them and were better -- sound wise, song wise, craft wise, show wise. That maybe what had Patrick acting up -- no one to see him and the opening act was better.

Josh Freese was drumming for them? Jeez that is a big step down from APC.

I saw them at a free festival in 2011. They were awful then too and the singer got really drunk. I stayed til the end to hear Hey Man Nice Shot, which was the only highlight of the show.

That was him!

Richard Patrick must have naked pics on him or he really needs to support a huge drug habbit...he was a substitute. To Richard's credit, lobve him or hate him, but he knows everyone in the business. Finding a drummer within a matter of hours and coming up with Freese oughtta tell ya something.

He's a miserable frick. Really is. A lot of people like to hide their misery and not impose it upon others. He's THAT guy who doesthe opposite. He has a microphone and is a millionaire/industrial rock know it all. He's gonna drink and spout off. Again it is lil man syndrome.

They played that and 5-6 combined tracks from first two albums. They played "Skinny" and "Welcome to The Fold" -- their two best, I thought. The of their show was riddled with "new material", which impressed no one. The 65 people at the Varsity were not there to hear new Filter.

That concert was one of many I have seen at the Varsity when it comes to "B rated" bands. There was no one at front stage. Everyone sat in their seats. I had never seen that at a "bigger name" concert at the Varsity. SELF, for God's sake, at least had someone at the front of the stage.
