History

Short Bus

Their first album, Short Bus, was released in 1995. The album was commercially successful, and included the smash hit single "Hey Man, Nice Shot". The song was somewhat controversial, as it was seen as capitalizing on the public suicide of Budd Dwyer. Kurt Cobain's suicide was widely rumored to have inspired the song, but the band refuted this. In need of a live band to tour the album, Patrick and Liesegang recruited Geno Lenardo on guitar, Frank Cavanaugh on bass, and Matt Walker on drums. They would all later be featured in the video for the album's second single, "Dose". See Also: Short bus. ...

Soundtracks and Remixes

In 1996, Filter recorded and filmed the video for the song "Jurassitol", for The Crow: City of Angels soundtrack. They also released the home video Phenomenology in 1996, which showcased some of the band's live performances and music videos, as well as an interview with Richard Patrick and Brian Liesegang filmed in New Mexico.

Liesegang left in 1997 shortly after recording the Filter/Crystal Method collaboration "(Can't You) Trip Like I Do" for the Spawn movie soundtrack, due to creative differences with Patrick. In 1998, for The X-Files film soundtrack, Patrick decided to keep the Filter name and recorded a cover of Three Dog Night's "One".

Title of Record

Patrick continued on with 1999's Title of Record with returning members Geno Lenardo and Frank Cavanaugh, as well as Steve Gillis on drums, filling in the gap left by Matt Walker after he left to work with The Smashing Pumpkins. Title of Record moved away from industrial rock somewhat, and resulted in the band's biggest hit, the mellow ballad "Take a Picture," along with other lesser-heard singles "Welcome to the Fold" and "The Best Things".

The Amalgamut

2002 saw the release of The Amalgamut, featuring the single "Where Do We Go From Here" and scoring another radio hit with "American Cliché". "The Only Way (Is The Wrong Way)" was also featured in the first wave of Hummer2 commercials that year and in the movie Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life the following year (2003). Alan Bailey was recruited for live guitar when they set off to tour the album; however, the tour ended abruptly a few weeks in when Patrick decided he needed to go to rehab. He's since tattooed his date of sobriety, September 28, 2002, on his forearm.

Trivia

• Richard Patrick is the brother of actor Robert Patrick, best known for appearing as the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day and John Doggett on The X-Files. In some interviews for Terminator 2 Robert Patrick is seen wearing a leather jacket with a Nine Inch Nails pin.

• The song Captain Bligh was written about Trent Reznor's notoriously anti-social habits by Richard Patrick after he left Nine Inch Nails. Vice-Admiral William Bligh was also captain of the HMAV Bounty, on which Mutiny on the Bounty was based.

• The song Take a Picture is about a dispute on an aircraft. Richard Patrick stripped down to his boxers to get comfortable enough to sleep, alarming the other passengers. Lyrics include: "I don't believe in privacy"; "I feel like a new-born"; and "Awake on my airplane." "Take a picture" is a popular expression to say when someone is caught staring, especially at someone who is naked or in his or her underwear ("Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer."). Another similar rumor to the meaning of this song is that it is about Patrick getting naked while being intoxicated on an airplane ("Could you take my picture cause I won't remember.").

• The lyrics "Hey, Dad, what do you think about your son now?" in the song Take a Picture refers to the fact that Patrick's father didn't believe he could make it in the recording business and tried to persuade him to pursue another direction.

• Richard Patrick was part of the supergroup The Damning Well, which has only released one track on the Underworld movie soundtrack in 2003, despite an entire album's worth of recording.

• Former Filter members Brian Liesegang and Matt Walker played keyboards and drums (respectively) in Billy Corgan's touring band in 2005 to promote his solo album.

• Richard Patrick started a new band, named "Army of Anyone," with Robert and Dean DeLeo of the former band Stone Temple Pilots.

• They were referred to in the song 'Bonus Track #3' by Anal Cunt.

• It was heavily rumored that Geno Lenardo and Frank Cavanaugh were going to be involved with former lead singer of Adema, Mark Chavez in a band called State Of Mind. These rumors proved to be false as Mark Chavez's band is called Midnight Panic and doesn't feature either of the two.
