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] The Filter track "Captain Bligh" was originally rumored to be about Reznor, though Patrick has since debunked this.[https://loudwire.com/filter-richard-patrick-wikipedia-fact-or-fiction/] Though their relationship was semi-acrimonious in the past, Reznor and Patrick are on good terms.[https://www.spin.com/2019/10/filter-richard-patrick-nine-inch-nails-pretty-hate-machine/]
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]].
