Changes

Patrick spent two and a half years as the touring guitarist in NIN and can be seen in the [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music videos]] for "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]," "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]," "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]," and "[[Gave Up]]." 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 Reznor not allowing him any creative input or musical contributions, as well as often taking 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 made a live guest appearance with NIN in 1996 for [[1996/09/05_New_York,_NY|one date]] of the [[Nights Of Nothing Tour]]. He was later considered by Trent Reznor to contribute to the [[Tapeworm]] project.[http://shoutengine.com/UnderneathItAllANineInchNailsPodcast/episode-05-surprise-an-interview-with-richard-patr-1078]
