FILTER - 'Take A Picture' (LWMB Acoustic Session)

Known for hits "Take a Picture" and "Hey Man, Nice Shot," FILTER's new album The Trouble With Angels is far heavier than their previous, more politically-charged Anthems for the Damned. A few days before Richard Patrick and the band were scheduled to play Bowery Ballroom in NYC, FILTER stopped by LWMB's HQ and belted out three acoustic tunes. Watch and enjoy!

I remember the first time this song aired on the radio, the radio dj said " such a nice song". He's correct and it's just a phenomenal tune, still listening in 2024.

Was part of the lighting crew that shot the original video to this epic song. Great memories.

The world becomes right when talented cool guys sing and play quitar in magical, harmonious musical wonder .

Kills me that groups like this disappear from the radio, meanwhile it's the same poppy shit over and over again.This is talent, no help from technology!

37 years old listening in 2021...damn!

remember when this was on MTV...fuck I'm old.

Best live version of this song I've found!

[merriethompson]

I still love this song so much. It’s a part of my soul. Thanks for writing it singing it getting it out here. It’s important to me this song. ❤❤❤

[Ownlyanangel]

love this song, sounds PERFECT acoustic.  Rare find

[moshingchrist]

I love that he didn't simp out and remove the higher notes from the acoustic version. So many bands do that. The goo goo dolls did an acoustic version of 'Iris' where the chorus should be an A4 they did it a full octave down (Which is basically the verse) ..Or Foo Fighters' Everlong same deal.
Then again, you might wind up with a 'Puddle Of Mudd' 'About a Girl' fiasco..

The guitarist on the right looks like the love child of Anthony Kiedis and Lou Ferrigno.

The Golden days of MTV. I can’t believe I’m 41 years old. 📺

[skipmichaels]

Great song, I wish they would have got bigger, they are a very talented band. I was 35 when I first heard this song and I'm in my fifties now and still love it!

[Aaron_Gentry]

Takes me back to being 16-17 years old all over again :)

[Somadream]

The T-1000's brother sure is a great singer.

[stangel]

One of the best songs ever made in my opinion

[joecool]

This song is a huge part of my childhood. Much love.

[megaboy]

it's just one of those songs that just won't leave your memories. Love it

[noideac]

for some reason, Patrick's voice just made me shed some tears

[JinxMarie]

Just heard this on the radio. I was like Omfg they're playing this!!?? Came home and directly put it on. And looked for a live version this was impressive. Brings so many memories back.

Tears in my eyes. Incredible song thats super meaningful to me. I remember being 11 and recording it on my tape on the radio crying my eyes out. Rough times. Much better now but this songs takes me right back and I’m sure that kid would be super happy where he is now.
