zurück zu Richard

Zwei kleine Facts bezüglich Renzor und Patrick. Leider nur auf Englisch, weil ich zu faul zum übersetzen bin. Falls aber eine Übersetzung gewünscht wird, bitte Bescheid geben, dann versuch ich mich mal dran bzw. falls jemand anderer das machen will, kann er das gerne tun!

29. Back in the day when Richard was a part of Nine Inch Nails, he was a guitar player for Trent Reznor, the front man of that group. He just happened to get drunk a lot a lot a lot while being in that group, and he was very very young at the time. We all know about being young and being stupid, right? Anyway, Trent Reznor and Richard one night after a concert happened to be very very very very drunk, (did I say very enough for you), and they happened to have a lot of people back stage. They decided that they wanted to freak a whole lot of people out, so they started to make out with each other. Don't worry, Rich is not gay, but even if he was that wouldn't be a problem with me, ANYWAYS, so he kissed a guy a long time ago. When asked if Trent was a good kisser, Rich could only say, "Well. . .yeahhhhhh, I guess so." He also had this to say in a chat about the incident.. "RPatrick: we are good friends though. had a good make out session in Vegas. Shocked alot old old bags that play slots. hehe"(Title of Page Filter Chat March 3, 1999) "Like making out with him backstage just to annoy the shit out of people. "Yeah! We were in Germany and there were these people that were just looking at us like we were insane," Patrick remembers. 'So we just started making out, and all these fucking people were just incredibly disturbed by it. And we thought it was the funniest thing in the world!' Is he a good kisser? 'Yyyyyyyyyyyy-yeah, he is, actually."(Sonic Net) "Trent said, 'I like kissing Rich because he's not very manly. He's more feminine and doesn't have to shave as much."(Alternative Press) OMG!!! That just makes me laugh. There you have it, the rebuttal from Trent himself. Now, for me, as a Stones Fan as well, I can only say this: Stay away from David Bowie, Rich!!! Mick Jagger still hasn't lived that down about sleeping in the same bed with Bowie in the 70's. What everyone forgets is that there was about 16 or more people in that bed. Notables were Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, David Bowie (then Ziggy Stardust, I believe), Eric Clapton and a whole mess of other people. Now that's worse than making out with a guy. Mick STILL hasn't lived that down and it's 2002!!!

102. This fact is devoted to what is known as the Richard Patrick/Trent Reznor Fued. After Rich left NIN, he formed Filter, which we all know. Rich did not do so to spite his former employer and best friend in Trent Reznor. He did so because he felt he had outgrown the tight constricting scope that is NIN. It just didn't fit him anymore and here is what he had to say about his former employer, according to Martin Huxley's book Nine Inch Nails. "I had the easiest job in the world. It was a fun childhood, but there was more to life after seven tours. 'Wow, I'm going to go out and spit beer on someone.' (My leaving) became a very natural solution to some of the things that were going on in my life. I was just happy to realize that I could send out a demo tape and get a deal. I hated the frustration involved in being in that band. Everybody (in NIN) seemed so unhappy and so pissed off. Angry at nothing. And I don't wanna live my life like that. I don't wanna wake up everyday and be angry. I want to enjoy life." Makes some sense to me if you ask me. "It wasn't Trent, it wasn't John. It was me saying, 'I don't know if I can be a hired gun anymore.' I wanted to be creative, and Trent extended his hand and said, 'Come on.' I'd be with him and we'd try to write. I'd look into his eyes and it was like, 'I don't know where you are going. I don't know what I want.' He knew it, I knew it and we said we gotta try harder, but it wasn't gonna happen. It was a frustrating thing for me. I didn't know what I was mad at. I didn't know why it was so hard to be in that band. I realized I couldn't go on. I couldn't go on the road and be the guitar player that couldn't write what he plays. It was frustrating because I had to come to that realization. Even though Trent really did try to work it out with me, I couldn't even face him anymore. It was one of the most difficult times of my life." As for him actually being angry and wanting to get Trent for being controlling in his own band, Brian Liesgang put it best: Nine Inch Nails is Trent's show. And it should be. He's great at working alone. He's tried working with other people and he's unhappy working that way. He doesn't need anyone else." Although many fans of NIN who were angered by Richard Patrick's leaving, Rich has many good things to say about Trent. "He was always supportive, but we knew it couldn't happen within the confines of Nine Inch Nails. One time he was mixing tracks for Downward Spiral and he packed up his stuff to go work on the four-track in back of the house just so I could mix my own stuff. That's the Trent Reznor a lot of people don't know." Rich also shares times he shared with Trent. "Trent taught me that two little notes like B and C sharp can be approached as 'Fuck you, fuck you,' and that any guitar part, no matter how small, can convey attitude. As long as you're playing with conviction, it's legitimate." By the time Filter's album had gotten the attention it deserved, neither party had talked in a year and a half. Rich expressed he would love to. "It would be great to call him up and say, 'Let's go fishing, let's go to an arcade, let's go have a beer together."
