He was then briefly in a band called Kollaps, prior to NIN, which also included Reznor. They later met again at Pi Keyboards and Audio, where Reznor worked. He briefly met Reznor in Cleveland in 1985 when his band, The Act, was invited to open for the Exotic Birds. Patrick has stated that he began working on his own music, and attempted to secure a record deal, during the 80s. He (along with Danny Lohner, Charlie Clouser and Chris Vrenna) also joined NIN onstage for six songs at the Cleveland show of the NIN 2022 tour, one of the songs being a cover of Filter's " Hey Man Nice Shot". Patrick made a live guest appearance with NIN in 1996 for one date of the Nights Of Nothing Tour. Though their relationship was semi-acrimonious in the past, Reznor and Patrick are on good terms. The Filter track "Captain Bligh" was originally rumored to be about Reznor, though Patrick has since debunked this. According to Brian Liesegang, Trent Reznor was very upset when Patrick left the band and wrote the song "Piggy" about it shortly thereafter. This can also be seen on the behind-the-scenes footage for Terminator 2: Judgment Day.Īccording to the biography on the official Filter website, Patrick was nicknamed " Piggy" during his time with Nine Inch Nails. His actor brother, Robert Patrick, was often seen wearing NIN shirts and pins while Richard was a member, as evidenced by his headshots from the time. He has played the guitar since the age of nine and names The Cure, U2, and Stone Temple Pilots as primary musical influences, specifically the inventive use of technology and flood sounds used by those artists. Richard Patrick (born May 10, 1968) is a former guitarist for Nine Inch Nails and leader of the band Filter. Tours: Pretty Hate Machine Tour, Nights Of Nothing Tour
