Richard Patrick Age: How old is Richard Patrick?

Richard Patrick is 54 years old as of 2022.

Richard Patrick celebrates his birthday every May 10. He was born on May 10, 1968 in Needham, Massachusetts, United States.

The American musician, Richard Patrick landed a gig as touring guitarist in Reznor’s live incarnation of Nine Inch Nails from 1989 to 1993 after meeting with Trent Reznor in a Cleveland music store.

Before he departed from Nine Inch Nails, Patrick formed his band, Filter, with Brian Liesegang, who left the band after the recording of the band’s first album, 1995’s Short Bus.

Four years later, Richard Patrick released Filter’s second album, Title of Record, with help from guitarist Geno Lenardo.

Filter’s third album, The Amalgamut, was released in 2002, with Patrick canceling most of the supporting tour to check into rehab for alcoholism, a problem that had been plaguing him for years. An experience where he drank on an airplane inspired Filter’s hit single “Take a Picture.”

After a five-year hiatus, Filter released the fourth record on May 13, 2008, titled Anthems for the Damned.

On September 29, 2005, the formation of the Army of Anyone was announced. Along with Dean and Robert DeLeo, future drummer for Korn, Ray Luzier, was also added to the line-up.

On August 25, 2008, Patrick wrote an editorial, “Talking About War”, for the Huffington Post. He has since written a column, dubbed Filtering The Truth, for Suicide Girls. His first post, about politics and religion, was posted on Election Day 2008.

Patrick and his wife Tina Patrick have two children; a daughter and a son.
