When you guys came through Dallas in 2000, we saw you front row,and it was the most fun I've ever had!!! We (my band) met you guys after and got our picture taken with you and it meant so much to us, we put the picture inside our first full length album sleeve... To us, Filter is THE band, and we hope you get better fast and thoroughly so we can show you our album after another killer Filter show in Dallas!!! Thanks Richie, we'll be thinking of you!!! --Ryan Lystad

I met Richard twice. The first time was on July 30th., when he came to Toronto to promote The Amalgamut. He was there with Geno Lenardo.
First, they went to Muchmusic to do an interview. They were extremely funny, and had a good rapport with each other. They seem more like brothers. Then they went to edge102 to conduct another interview, but they were early. So, as was the case over at Muchmusic, they happily posed for pictures and signed anything people gave to them. They were quite gracious, and generous with their time. I got both of their autographs, in addition to having bought the cd (spectacular!) a day early, and was able to ask Rich if he was ever going to act with Robert. He was offered a part on The XFiles, but had to turn it down because he felt it was not the time to get into acting. However, he will act with Rob, one day.
The second time was on September 14th, before the SnowJam concert. This time, I only got Rich's autograph, but I was also able to give him a gift, which he greatly appreciated: a 16-month Abyssinian Cats lovers calendar. The concert was fantastic, naturally. I can't wait to meet the lads again. I will definitely have my picture taken with them, next time.
I have been a Filter fan since I found out Robert was going to be in The X-files. I searched the internet for information on him, and, in doing so, found out that he had a younger brother named Richard who was in a band called Filter. I decided to check the band out, and have never looked back since. Through their stellar music, they turned me off of pop music, and turned me onto rock. Now, I liten to them, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, and Weezer. I am genuinely thankful. My eyes and ears have been opened. I had the good fortune of seeing both Weezer and Filter live, and they were equally spectacular. Also, I was lucky enough to meet both Richard Patrick and Geno Lenardo, to get their autographs, to ask Rich a question, and to give him a gift. They are very gracious people. It was a divine pleasure to meet them. I wish Richard all the best in his recovery. He is wise to have realized that he needed help, and decided to seek it. The first step is to be honest with yourselves, and, in turn, the people around you. The next step is to get the proper help, which he is currently doing. His health is his concern and responsibility, and we are not to pry. We would not want people minding our business. Richard's health is a private matter. The man obviously has his prioroties in order by asking for help now. The music is secondary. His health comes first. When he gets better, he can be everything he can to himself, his family, his friends, his bandmates, and his fans. He can also go back to doing what he does best: making great music, which is his passion. All the best Richard. May you experience a speedy recovery.

Wow.  That's quite coincidental that someone else who posted here was supposed to see Filter in Madison, WI.  Anyway, from myself and many other Filter fans come the best wishes.  Take care of yourself. We need you around to keep us rockin'.

Dear Richie,

As an old friend of yours, I wish you a speedy recovery from whatever is ailing you.  I was surprised when I got up to Milwaukee on 05OCT only to find the show cancelled.  I'm in Chicago full time now so I look forward to hanging out with you.  Give me a call when you feel up to it. 
We need to talk about a Heathaze reunion.

Your friend,
Greg Jarvi

Hey Rich,
I am sorry to hear about your problem. I was looking forward to seeing you guys in a couple of weeks. From what I gathered you are having probs with your voice.That sucks because you have one of the best voices in the buisness. I am a singer too and right know my voice is shot also. I blew it out the other night. Then I tried to sing at practice the next night so now my throat is sore as hell. I always wanted to ask your for advice on keeping the voice box alive. I know every singers got their own techniques and remedys for keeping there voice healthy. Since you are having problems, maybe with what you have learned over the years you can help myself and other singers. You are the King of scream! So any advice you can give me would be a great gift. My email is
mindmachine03@aol.com  Hope to see you soon thrashing the mic. Until then, you will be in my thoughts. Best wishes!!

Rich,
  You are the greatest lyricist of all time. I like all kinds of music and have listened to just as many, but never have I heard a singer put such passion into his music as you do. And its not just the power of your voice, but the power of your lyrics as well. Seriously, you (and Geno and Frank and Steve) are the only band out there who could play any kind of music (except country. please, don't ever play country :) I treasure ALL of your songs from Skinny (my personal favorite) to ...Nice Shot to World Today. You have an AMAZING gift, one which never fails to amaze me and other filter fans. You are truly an inspiration to me. I hope you get well soon. Feel free to visit my own Filter website: www.geocities.com/filterishere.
We'll all be pushing for ya!

Rich,
As always much love, I really hope you are up to your usual 110% soon! I look foreward to seeing you guys live, but don't push it-take care of yourself!!

Dear Richie...
I am sorry for your hardships, honey! I think I know where you're at and why you're there...and I hurt for you! I know how hard it is to remain sane while guarding a caring soul inside an armoured suit! But I know you can do it, Richie, and I know you will pull through this, babe! The world needs more passionate artists like you, with strong opinions and the guts to speak them and sing them! WE NEED YOU, Richie! Get well! Take care!
Lots of love

Linda

Maybe this is out of date but having only known of this band for a few weeks i was saddened to hear that THE vocalist of our time is unwell. I seem to be the only guy in the Uk thats heard of Filter but if i am not. Let me take this opportunity on behalf of us chosen few to wish you a speedy recovery cause selfishly , we need  guys like you on this earth.

It was great seeing you in show on 9/11. You were in top form; no idea of what was going on offstage. :( I'm glad you checked yourself in and I know you'll be better in no time. Take care of yourself, Rich. The world of music needs you.
