you love, it will make a wonderful gift for this coming holiday season. Many of us have friends and family caught up in the War in Iraq and Afghanistan, needless to say so do the band members. Rich- ard wrote "Soldiers of Misfortune" Released in 2008 and added it to the set list in honor of a long time "Filter" fan who had been deployed off to war, then lost his life due to an improvised explosive device only 2 months out of his deployment. The is an anti-war song and prior to beginning it, they take a moment to remember and share his memory. Not only did "Filter" give us new music but they keep us rolling through the night with anticipation for the 1995 release hit "Hey Man, Nice Shot" the single that brought the crowd to a frenzy back in the day and still today. I still carry with me the set list from my first "Filter" show back in "96" in a folder with other memorabilia. The time between albums may have progressed but the song and the meaning remain the same for all of us fans. I hope everyone who chooses to read my article will take the time to listen and judge for themselves. I http://www.kouvradio.com/ would like to give a huge "Thank you" to Richard Patrick (vocals), Johnathan Radtke (guitar), Tim Telleher (bass) and Jeff Fabb (drums) of "Filter" for keeping the music porous after all these years (see what I did there, just a little funny)!!! In all reality I am thankful for all of your music through out the years.
