He has played the guitar since the age of nine and names The Cure , U2, and U2 Stone Temple Pilots as primary musical influences, specifically the inventive use of technology and flood sounds used by those artists. 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. This can also be seen on the behind-the-scenes footage for ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day''. According to the biography on the official Filter website, Patrick was nicknamed "[[Piggy]]" during his time with Nine Inch Nails. According to [[Brian Liesegang]], [[Trent Reznor]] was very upset when Patrick left the band and wrote the song "Piggy" about it shortly thereafter [https://www.facebook.com/Filter/photos/a.186150516351/10155799437926352/?type=3&permPage=1].

His only recorded contribution—a droning guitar sound—can be heard at the end of "[[Sanctified]]" on ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' He chose to leave the band during the recording of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' in 1993 due in part to [[Trent Reznor]] not allowing him any creative input or musical contributions, as well as often physically abusing Patrick on stagetaking a lot of onstage physical abuse from Reznor. Patrick went on to form his own industrial rock band, [[Filter]], with fellow NIN collaborator Brian Liesegang, though Liesegang left in 1997. Patrick was later considered by Trent Reznor to contribute to the [[Brian LiesegangTapeworm]]project.[http://shoutengine.com/UnderneathItAllANineInchNailsPodcast/episode-05-surprise-an-interview-with-richard-patr-1078]  In 2005 Patrick also formed the band Army of Anyone with the DeLeo brothers of Stone Temple Pilots and have in late 2006 the band released three albums: their eponymous album. The band split a year later and Patrick returned to Filter. Brian Liesegang rejoined Filter in 2018. Utilizing PledgeMusic, the pair began working on a musical sequel to ''Short Bus'' entitled ''reBus''.
