This site has been sitting for quite awhile, hasn't it? I am not sure when or how I'll go about cleaning it up and updating it, but we'll see. It'll probably be slow, but feel free to email me any information/articles/whatnot, and I'll keep it in a file to add to the site when I can.

6/8/04
 
Rich has posted a tribute to Justin in the lastest Rich Words. Please read and remember Justin through Rich's words, his website and through the music of Filter.

There have been new Rich Words posted.

6/6/04
 
Today is the 60th anniversary of D-Day. While we remember the veterans of World War II and those who died on Normandy's beaches, may we also remember a fallen hero in Justin Eyerly(Filtered) who laid his life down on June 4, 2004 while serving in Iraq. Do check out the In Memory section to learn more about this brave soldier.

Another dose of Rich Words for everyone. Go read 'em!

5/17/04
 
The Rich Words were updated on the 16th. Rich tells us about his birthday. Be sure to check 'em out!!!!
 
 

5/7/04
 
There is a lot of Filter news going on right now and it's very exciting. We have NEW Rich Words, a NEW interview posted and a new photo of Rich in the studio working on the new album.
 
Along with this, some of you  may have noticed that officialfilter.com has a new look and a new feature! A message board is now included in the main links at the site! That's right, it's the FDG that's linked there and be sure to check the place out!
 
It's sure exciting time and remember, on MONDAY is Richie's birthday! So go to the FDG and wish him a BIG one!
 

1/23/04
 
We got some NEW Rich Words and things are looking like they're really  moving for Filter. Hopefully we'll see more Rich Words in the near future as we get closer to a record release.

12/24/03
 
First off, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I hope your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be great and you get all the things you want and all those wishes come true. I can't believe it's almost 2004!
 
We have a Christmas Present from Rich himself. A NEW Rich Words! So do check that out!
 
Not much is going on except that now that I'm done for another semester I'll hopefully get SOMETHING done towards the gigantic renovation of this site. That's if all the Playstation 2 games I have don't distract me!
 
Anyways, be merry and have a great New Year! Hopefully I'll have another update before we roll over the calendar year.

10/20/03
 
That's right! A new Rich Words has arrived! Along with the Rich Words are three photos. That's right, Richard Patrick has gotten himself a tattoo. Of what? Well of his date of sobriety of course. You can find that at the official site or here in the Rich Words section.
 
Along with that, I'd like to promote the site that has been made to honor the troops in affiliation with the FDG. You can find that at the bottom of this news update. Please sign it. Justin, aka Filtered from Filtered Online, has been called up to serve 2 years in Iraq. Show your support for him and ALL the troops in Iraq and over seas. If your'e not American, please show your support of a long time standing Filter Community member who had one of the very first Filter sites on the internet.
 
And finally, the FDG has a store. I bet you guys didn't know that. HEY it has two actually. You can buy designs from either FDG Clothing or the infamous Mangina Wear. Every dollar helps keep the FDG up and running and it'd just be cool to have your own gear, now wouldn't it? Anything from travel mugs to mouse pads to shirts. We even have thongs for those who errr find that alluring! Go forth and find something you might like.
 
 

9/18/03
 
As many of you know, tomorrow is the nation wide premiere of the movie Underworld. Be sure to see it while it is in theaters and if you haven't already, do pick up the Underworld Soundtrack.. It show cases The Damning Well's first track and other tracks by David Bowie and many others.
 
Along with the premiere, Cinescape has posted an article about the LA Premiere of Underworld where notables from the movie and the soundtrack and others viewed. You can find a link to that article at the bottom of this news bit. Scroll to the bottom and you will find a photo of Rich, Danny Lohner and Wes Borland.
 
OH and just a reminder, the story site has been up for almost a month so do check it out and feel free to email feed back to me about the story or the site in general. You can find the story link at the bottom of this news post as well. Other than that you guys probably don't wanna hear about my college classes so I'll just end the news for now.

8/27/03
 
Well, if you haven't heard by now, the new Damning Well track has been released on the lakeshore records website. If you have NOT heard this track, do go check it out and be SURE to pick it up on the 2nd of September(Tuesday) to hear the rest of the offerings by the likes of David Bowie and Maynard from Tool and A Perfect Circle and many more.
 
For your convienence, I have also included the link to the Damning Well track here:
 
 

The Damning Well: Awakening

Lakeshore Records

8/20/03
 
I know, I know. Official Filter updated a few days ago and I haven't posted that here, BUT Tripod hates me and I couldn't get into the site till late last night and I'm working on something for the side site(ie the story some of you really, really wanna read and which you can find at the bottom of this news bit) so although it is late, here it is.
 
The Damning Well:
 
First off, this "super group" if you will is  placing a track entitled Awakening onto the soundtrack for the Vampire flick Underworld. The project includes Richard Patrick, Wes Borland formerly of Limp Bizkit, Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails and John Freese formerly of A Perfect Circle.  This soundtrack will be available on Sept. 2nd so be sure to pick it up. It has one helluva  line up!
 
For those of you who do not know, the Tombraider 2 soundtrack has a Filter track on it. The Only Way Is the Wrong Way made it onto the soundtrack so if you want to pick that up, please do so.
 
The FDG has made it's new home sucessfully at http://thefdg.org If you have not visited the new site and board, be sure to do so. A lot of headline news is posted there on a regular basis. Hope to see you there!
 
And FINALLY, the Rich Words have been updated as of the 15th. If  you haven't checked those out, please do. Rich has a lot of things to say about the above mentioned as well as a few other things about upcoming projects.

RFW Storytelling

8/01/03
 
I am currently working on a complete renovation of the Rich Facts, which also will include a move from Tripod to a new domain. I have yet to decide between www.thefdg.org or http://www.unofficialfilter.com/ as to which place will house the renovated Rich Facts, but rest assured they will be in a new home as soon as I can get through the research and writing aspects of the site.
 
Along with that, the story that inspired the whole mess will most likely end up in the XF Fan Fic archive entitled Gossamer. I'm not sure when exactly, but eventually as I work through things for the site, I will also tackle that aspect. Please be patient.
 
Oh, if you still have some type of Filter article or tidbit that I don't know about or what have you, please email me at richfactwebmistress@yahoo.com. I'd like to have as much sources to pick from to write complete and thorough Facts as much as possible.
 
Thanks for the Patience!!

There is a possibility that Lara Croft's next movie soundtrack will have a track collaboration with Richard Patrick and Wes Borland. This is from Blabbermouth.net and The NIN Hotline:
 
Blabbermouth.net reports than in a post to his own website, Borland wrote "...I've been working with Danny Lohner on four songs for the movie 'Underworld'. That soundtrack may really turn out to be a great album, and I've seen the film about 10 times and I really like it.... Also, Richard Patrick from Filter and I wrote a song together, and that will be coming out soon, maybe on the 'Tomb Raider' soundtrack."

3/11/03
 
There's a lot of new Filter Goodies to buy including a replica of the Hoodie we see Rich wearing on the cover of the Amalgamut, copies of the concert tour shirts, and a girl's tank top so get it while you can!! They can be found at Artist Direct.
 

3/5/03
 
Once again we have NEW Rich Words to digest. Aparently we might have a new record to look forward to a lot sooner than expected(being that it usually takes up to three or four years to get more), but we will have to see what happens.
 
I would have updated sooner, but I have been busy with school work this semester and things get in the way. And, with the lack of Filter news, it's been hard to find topics to write upon. But, this weekend, look forward to a new Consider This.

1/27/03
 
There are NEW Rich Words!! Enjoy the new self-portrait Rich made of himself, too. Very interesting to say the least. Maybe it'll be fodder for a new Consider This, then again maybe not. . .
 
 

1/13/03
 
There are NEW Rich words with a cute little picture once again. Seems like we might get a new picture routinuely, eh? Check them out!
 
 

12/31/02

 Other than that. ..not much else. See ya next time!

12/21/02
 
NEW Rich Words. Go Read and Enjoy. I guess that's Rich's gift to us Filter fans for Christmas..
 
Yeah yeah yeah. . .I know I haven't been posting much news lately. You'll have to read Consider This for more about why that is exactly. But now you got me working on the site again regularly. YEAH.
 
I posted my review of Dualesc's album Through the Floods Not With Them. Be sure to check that album out as well as www.dualesc.com because you just should if you haven't and well...it's just cool to do so.
 
Apparently the January issue of Hit Parader has another Filter goodie. I haven't had the chance to pick the magazine up  myself but that's what I've heard. Check it out.
 
Oh and thanks to everyone who visits this site. We had over 7,000 visitors in one year come to the Rich Facts. Maybe we'll have more than that by next December!
 
 

11/17/02
 
Just so you know, if you head to the FDG you might get a little notice to some Filter Equipment on sale via EBay. So what are you waiting for?
 

11/11/02
 
Good news is here finally!! A NEW Rich Words has been posted and Rich is out of rehab. Although there is no news about the touring information or anything, it's good to hear that he is doing well. Go to the official page to read the words or go to the Rich Words on this page.

10/26/02
 
Thursday was Geno's Birthday. Happy Birthday Geno!!
 
The elusive Gravity Game footage announced last week has not been placed on the Official site for this week, BUT if I were you I'd watch anyways to see if they do run it. Besides, this whole dirt biking and skateboarding at 50 mph fascinates me.
 
I have added a new section for Music Reviews. Check it out when you get the chance. I have finished my review of the Amalgamut and have posted it there along with two other reviews you'll have to go check out for yourself.
 
New Photos are now up. Yeah. I said NEW photos. Like 'em or don't look at 'em.
 
A New link has been posted in the links section. Check it out!

10/19/02
 
Filter is in the current issues of Metal Edge(December 2002) and Hit Parader. Be sure to pick those issues up!! Oh, and the RFW will have a bit about what she thinks of the Hit Parader issue in the Consider This on Sunday.
 
On SUNDAY Filter will be appearing in Gravity Games on NBC at 4:30/3:30 Central Standard Time. Unsure when it airs in your area, check your local listings. It is a 90 minute program. Set your VCRs to record it!
 
Congrats goes out to Frank, soon to be a proud papa! This tidbit can be found at Hard Rock Cafe in an interview. Check the link below for more.
 
Pictures from the 9/26/02 Filter show can be found at the link below that one. You know the drill.
 

10/14/02
Found at CTNow Music News is a confirmation of the type of rehab, although the management has yet to confirm or deny so don't take it as gospel, people. Entertainment Weekly supposedly says the same thing, but damned if I can find the news byte that says so. I've looked!!
 
Tour changes

Time for a refund, Filter fans. The band has canceled its tour after lead singer Richard Patrick checked himself into a California rehab center last weekend to combat alcohol and substance abuse. The band had been scheduled to play the Webster Theatre Oct. 13.

10/1/02
 
URGENT NEWS:
Found at the DST:
 
"This just in from Filter's management:

Filter's lead singer, Richard Patrick, has checked himself into a rehabilitation facility this weekend forcing Filter to postpone all touring through the end of this year.

Filter want to apologize to all of their fans who have bought tickets for upcoming concerts, particularly for the Rellim Tour dates which were due to start this week. There are no current plans to reschedule the cancelled shows, although Filter hope to be back on the road early in the new year.

Says Richard Patrick "I want to apologize to all my friends and fans for having to cancel these upcoming shows, but right now I'm concerned about my health and want to get back into the best physical and mental condition to go back on the road next year."

All tickets will be refunded at point of purchase."

I left this in it's actual context due to the fact that it is most urgent. Rich has come down with laryingitis and has checked himself into rehab to fix his voice. Hopefully things will work out and he will be healthy by early next year.

If you would like to leave a Get Well Message,  please forward it to me via email and I will place it upon the Get Well Page I will make later today. Tis bad news for the tour indeed. May Rich heal up quickly!! Get BETTER Richie!!!

On a lighter note in the news realm, Coolbryne was lucky enough to meet Rich and Geno in Tornoto AGAIN. She's covered this meeting in her latest issue of Mr. Intensity. Be sure to check that out if you have the time!

American Cliche is rising high on the radio request lists and is becoming a most requested track. Keep it up!! See why this week's topic is bashing RFW Radio Hell. . .
 
As of Sept. 19th,  The Amalgamut scanned over 86,000 units.
 
Here is a link to see an answer to a question that the DST asked Rich in August or so. Check it out and enjoy. Although, I didn't catch the question, so you're bet is as good as mine as to what the question is!
 

9/15/02
 
New Rich Words posted. Check 'em out for a laugh.

9/13/02
 
On 9/10 "American Cliche" hit radio airwaves. Request the song at your local station. Hell, harass 'em for the hell of it like I do here in my small town here. It might get you some place, you never know.
 
At. 4:20 EST on Saturday 9/14, The Edge is having Filter live on the air for a mini interview and mayhem. Be sure to check that out if you are near a computer or live in the Tornoto area. Check below this news list for the webaddress for The Edge.
 
As of the Second Week of September, "The Amalgamut" has scanned OVER 82,000 Units.
 
New Rich Words appeared on 9/12. Be sure to check them out. They're brief but worth the read.
 
More news on the Rellim Tour. You can now "Meet and Eat With Filter" at the venues on this particular tour. According to the DST:
 
MEET & EAT WITH FILTER ON TOUR
Filter will headline the upcoming 11-date, low-dough Rellim Tour, kicking off October 2nd at the Quest in Minneapolis. On each tour stop, fans will really be able to get up close and personal with the band, as they'll be allowed to enter the venue through the backstage area, chow down on pizza and check out the dressing room and lounge areas.
 
 For those of  you worrying that the Rellim Tour is only for those over 21, have no fear. Check Ticketmaster for age requirements. Some shows are listed as "All Ages," some are listed as "18+ ONLY with valid ID" and some are listed as "21+ ONLY with valid ID." Be sure to check for your specific venue before being disappointed. The Miller Rellim Tour site is set to be 21+ Only, but not every single venue follows that policy.
 
In honor of Frank and his fave number, be happy and merry that this is Friday the 13th. Enjoy!
 
A new Filter Article is available to read. It also has streaming audio to accompany it. Check below for more information for that.
 
 

9/7/02
 
The Second Single from the Amalgamut has been chosen!! It will be "American Cliche" and hits the radio stations on 9/10. Let's hope it gets some awesome air play!

Don't forget to check out the Rellim Tour coming(hopfully) to a city near you.

Gee, Mr. Blabs A lot has a lot to say. Rich has another new Rich words and this time it's without love. Considering they just played Carson Daly shortly before writing it, I know why. Sighs. That guy is irritating. Anyways, go read the new Rich Words.

8/5/02
 
In Rich's way to make us poor un-paid webmasters/mistresses work even more, he has posted a new Rich Words today, deciding that the pace needs picking up. For you lazy people who come here first instead of going there first...TRY GOING THERE FIRST!!

YESTERDAY The Amalgamut was released. You can find it everywhere now(unless you go to: Walmart, Shopko and possibly K-Mart in my home town). Either that or order it online.
 
NEW Rich Words have been posted. Check them out. Very cool stuff.
 
Alternative Press reviewed the Amalgamut WHICH I was kind enough to transcribe. They're not kissing Filter's ass but they're not slamming them so I'm happy with their review. 7/10 for Alternative Press is pretty good considering most of the other albums in the mag ranked at about 7 and none got 10. Find that review here:

Ever wonder what Rich's ass looks like now! Well at the DST you can see it in the preview of enhanced material from the Amalgamut. The title of the video is "Attack of the Killer Ass." Something tells me that Rich had too much caffiene again! It's great for a laugh. Oh, and that pesky megaphone reappears! https://thedst.com/home.php?tid=32

Allison, Rich Fact Webmistress

 Here you guys go. The Video found in the Filter Street Team site with a video about the upcoming Amalgamut. It's a bunch of craziness and folks, when you get to the megaphone part, tell me, would YOU have taken that new and wonderful toy away from Rich? I know I would have.
 
 
Enjoy and feel free to spread any of these things to other sites. It's the best help we can give, now isn't it? Hell, I'll be putting this into a couple of forums.

Now, I know Rich didn't ask for this one to be posted, but since some of the webmasters might not go to FDG, here is the thank you Rich has for the Unofficial Webmasters out there:
 
 "Hey guys I just wanted to post through Hubka and ask if you could get that quote about those fuckers on Blabbermouth and post it as news on your unofficial sites. I really wanted to infiltrate this shit from the ground up! Thanks for all your hard work as Unofficial Filter Webmasters!"
 

The BlabberMouth Quote:
 
 Due to the fact Rich asked us to place this up on our sites, here it is. Enjoy and once again, read the fact about why we don't make Rich mad!
 
 "This is a message to all the fat, bald, four eyed metal head kids at Blabbermouth.com who dissed me. 1 in 10,000 bands get signed to a major label, 1 out of those signed bands makes it.. i've done double platinum and i'm on my third record - I make music, you make me sick. I made it in an industry that has been fucked over by every computer nerd on the planet. Astronauts aspire to be rock musicians, movie stars aspire to rock musicians, i am at the top of the food chain, i sit on a pile of cash, i drive a bmw, i've been around the world 7 times, my music has taken me far, far away from a little computer, like the one you're sitting at now. And its all because of my talent, and you will never have that, you will never be me. So sit at your computer and bitch about fred durst and I, and realize that your lives are pointless. Oh and this is the REAL Richard Patrick and not the nice guy on my website, and if you don't believe its me, that's just your small brain eating itself. By the way, as far you guys calling me gay, I have fucked more women than you have seen in your entire lives, so get out from your computer and go find yourself a hog fat bitch girl and atleast experience it once you fucking pointless pieces of shit!"

Hope ya enjoyed that fun quote. I know I did.
