Wish I would’ve have converstated you!

Seen him three times live. Richard always fuckin brings it.

Yes, no doubt! 😊
His band's album "Title of Record" is a masterpiece.
Addiction is tough. Started my addiction with alcohol at a young age (15). Never thought I had a problem until I was 31 years old. Dated a girl in 1988. We got married in 1993. In 1999 on September 20th my wife told me something that changed my life. She Sat me down and said she has a problem. I'm like all worried wondering what's up. She says she is not happy with us. I'm like what the f. She talks about my drinking every day and that she can't stay with me and watch me drink my self to death. She also tells me the reason she doesn't want kids is because of my drinking problem. That was the best day of my life. That was the last day I took drink of alcohol. Just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and my son just turned 17. I am a very lucky man. Thanks for the great talk about addiction.👍
Really inspiring story. Glad you're doing well.
Cool that you were straight up with your wife and matured. Thanks
??? He wasn’t putting Scott down. The guy literally went down the same road, but pulled out of it. Scott never did, died young. It sucks. Scott is dead. I don’t think anyone is judging him anymore.
@@justinm.4631 Wasn't he like 50 when he died?
@@elijahschaible he was 48
Richard was at Cornell's funeral and he is speaking the truth
As a recovered mainlining H addict, 23 years sober now, this touched my soul. If you don’t face your addiction head on and fight it every. Single. Day. then there are only two places you’re gonna end up: the cell or the grave. Well before your time. It breaks my heart that one of the greatest frontmen of my generation lost that fight and took a path to the grave. Still some 8 years on since his passing, watching videos of his old live performances (especially Rolling Rock 01’, a show I was lucky enough to be at, where I witnessed Scott ascend to God like levels on that stage; brilliance like a shooting star across a night sky) brings a tear to my eye. If you never saw him live, it’s easy to overlook his genius. But he truly was just that, a brilliant artistic genius. With a voice from the heavens themselves. Gone to soon. Addiction took another great one from us. So fck addiction.
If I could get through just one thing to someone, it would be never even try hard, physically addictive drugs. It will never feel as great as it did at first; like when you first stuck the needle in. It will only swallow you whole and everyone who loves you right along with it. You will chase those first highs the rest of your active addiction life. Chase it right to the fckng cell. Or far worse yet, the grave. Sadly, I’ve buried so many friends I’ve lost count. Beautiful souls, people I loved. It crushed me each and every time, and served as an excuse to go score some dope to cope. Which looking back I realize was selfish bs using their death as an excuse to use. And I just as easily could have been one of the buried, it could have been me in the pine box; lord knows I od’d enough times. But by some miracle I escaped with my life and found the grace of long lasting recovery. But I know I could still slip, even now, so I actively fight it every single day. And work hard to never let it inch back in.
So I beg you, don’t start up with the shit. Just leave it alone. Hey, if it could kill the Mozart of our century Prince, it will kill you.
RIP Scott Weiland. One of the last, true rock star artistic genius frontmen. You are so very missed. 😢
Thank you for sharing your story. Thunderous applause for overcoming your addiction
Very sad addiction, I love Scott Weiland, but Richard is totally right on point. Along with so many other extremely talented people lost to this disease.
+maui swift Disease my ass !
Your right....with that being said being an alcoholic is more genetic then you think. There are certain people who are more susceptible because of their linage.....mix that with the environment....you have a recipe for disaster
Addicts don't start using heroin right away,99% of the time it starts with alcohol, then pills, crack then heroin that type of order.It starts by user using to suppress some type of traumatic event, it's a proven science. Watch some interviews like Cobain, Layne Staley, Belushi, Chris Farley, the list could go on. Scott knew he was an addict and it finally took him, regardless it's heartbreaking. Just saying
Not a disease, it's an improvised treatment for
stress/
performance demands/
poor health/
poor nutrition
@nurse 1 nobody said it wasn’t a disease you Fcking moron.
He's very insightful, for a floating head and a pair of hands.
You and the other guy with the exact same comment....got monitor adjustment problems.
It’s because he’s wearing all black against a black backdrop.
Thanks for the honesty Richard. You don’t shy away from being honest, genuine, caring and setting an example. I wish you a lifetime of sobriety.
I wasn't a huge fan of Chester as a pick....BUT at one point in my youth I was a big Linkin Park fan and I remember the Meliora album with the "making of DVD". Chester kissed the "No. 4" Record display at the recording studio, I remember Chester performing with STP on the family values tour. He is a legit, die hard fan like we are. He was up there as a person who loves the band and their music, not just a singer playing another gig. That's what I appreciate about Chester being front man.
This is great. Ridiculously honest and real. Gracias, amigo.
i still listen to filter's - short bus and stp- core till this day. awesome vid. r.i.p. scott
Both tp10 rock albums EVER made
damn.. I've been to numerous treatments and still suffer from alcoholism and addiction but this really warmed my heart and gave me hope. it's not to late.
It’s never too late brother. As long as you’re alive, hope is alive too. Keep fighting. ✊🏼
Hey, there! :)
I call them: "Windows of Opportunity"--WHEN it's not particularly difficult to do something--or NOT do something!(homework, chores, get up and out of bed! 😊, Not take any alcohol or drugs that day or night, Not watch any TV that Day/Night, etc...).
Say what you want- Rich Patrick is a survivor, a winner, whatever- not cocky, just an honest guy- I respect the hell out of him and glad he still gives an album a year to fans!
I am over 11 years sober. And its sad that not every addict gets the chance to that. Keep up the great work richard. U r a role model for the right reasons these days
Speaking of Army of Anyone... How about another album, buddy?
Right!!
Jeezus christ, he looks like my dad.. =(
Huge album. Too bad Richard stated in an interview that he likes autocracy when it comes to making music, and AOA was a band made of excellent musicians, each with an individual voice. That's why the band ceased to exist, basically.
The AOA record is one of the all time best rock albums of the last 15yrs. I would give anything if they did another one.
stonerdemon Yeah, and Filter is standing proof of that. There’s a reason why he’s the only constant member of his own band for two-plus decades, and the same can be said for Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, who Richard knows quite well. For better or for worse, it’s just how they are.
Sad. This was before Chester faced the same fate as Scott. Hopefully Richard Patrick is still healthy and happy. And hopefully STP can keep making new music with Jeff Gutt. That first record they made was great.
Of the four singers who played with STP/the DeLeo brothers (Patrick, Chester, Weiland & that dude in Talk Show), only two are alive now. And that's a bummer, man. : (
This dude can be both serious and funny and it's comforting
Pisses me off how so many beautiful creative souls reach for substances that take them too soon.
I totally agree with him about the part that the DeLeo brothers and Chester didn't deserve all the hateful messages that they got from fans. the DeLeo Brothers wanted a reliable singer and they got one and just because he wasn't as good as Scott people had to throw a fit.
I love Filter, one of my favorite bands. Richard must have been real bad off, he stopped in a middle of a promotional tour for "The Amalgamut". Filter was on the verge of being a huge band, but with Richard/Filter gone for nearly six years it hurt. But I'm glad he did it for his sake, and I'm glad he's still around. Filter has had four good to great albums and one fantastic Army of Anyone album since he came back.
The Amalgamut tour actually never started. Rich went into rehab just as it was about to get rolling.
@@theechothief5594 oh wow that’s even crazier then!
Richard u Rule, and filter is the most underrated band outta the 90s. title of record is a masterpiece and got me through a lot of shit as a kid. Glad to head 13 plus years for u!
he explained it perfect, you cant keep at it, you want to but you will forget you are hurting others, it isnt about you
Richard's work with Stp "Army of anyone" was amazing. Im sorry it took me so long to find with my bias with Scott such an epic album.
Richard is still a awesome Singer I grew up listen to filter and Scott will be missed loved stp
This is a truly genuine honest guy my dad was an alcoholic for most of my childhood until I was 13, it took an alcohol withdrawal seizure in front of me for him to realize he has a problem. I can proudly his been sober for 25 years
Thank you, needed that video more than you know.
Tremendous clarity. Always loved AoA and Filter. I am glad he seems well put together now..m bravo
Hey, thank you and Richard for putting this out
That is as real and true as it gets kids....
Glad I found this. Very insightful and articulate.
Great summarisation you are one of the lucky ones.
God bless you, Richard. Other singers'' deaths make me sad. Scott's passing makes me mad. All these years later... Dammit, Scott!
Unfortunately I know what he is saying. The truth really does hurt sometimes. I have been clean 9 years now. You have to WANT to quit, and maybe I'm way off but I don't think Scott wanted it enough. He loved drugs more than anything it seemed. Your band mates,family, friends can't force you to get clean, and it looked to me like when Scott would go to rehab or whatever it was because he doesn't want to get kicked out of the band or never see his kids again, and that just doesn't cut it when you are trying to get clean.
I saw a picture of Scott about a month before he died, he looked like he had 1 for in the grave already. I almost didn't recognize him. He looked in like he was 60 years old.
I feel bad for his kids, I hope that they are able to move on from all the insanity in their lives.
RIP Scott
I loooooove Richard Patrick
Well said, great video.
Thank you- this interview just saved me…
I lost a friend to alcoholism this year. I honestly think he was too far gone. There was too much pain, depression and mental health issues for him to break dependency from drinking, and he was stuck in a relationship with another alcoholic. He was in rehab for three months, left early, and then died Jimi Hendrix-style by choking on his own vomit. What's sad is that myself and other friends did the gentler approach that Richard talks about, like putting your arm around them, letting you know that you care about them, etc. I'm not knocking that approach at all, but it didn't work with my friend. I sometimes wonder if a more assertive confrontation would have set him straight.
loved all of filters stuff
Wow this is so pure and honest and real.
Thanks ,Robert for telling this story
I can't believe Robert is the brother of the Evil Terminator from T2: Judgement Day
A. Richard is AWESOME. B. I'm pretty sure Chester/STP would not have gotten as much hate if they would have simply changed the band name to a new one.
Love this. Lots of respect earned Richard
Great interview
This guy is really saying something.
Short Bus is one of my all time 90’s faves
Like so many 90s albums
Good fr strt-finish.
Like Toadies/Hum/Placebo/God Lives Under Water
yes and have followed you ever since.
Drinking for me as a teen was a way to deal with PTSD that I didn't get any other direction and how to cope with.
Now I know what it is but you know it doesn't make it any easier and certainly Scott with multiple ND issues co-occurring. I wonder if he was diagnosed as a child.
You cannot help those, who do not want to first help themselves.
Well fucking said brother
i grew up listening to both bands. I was 10 years old in 1992 so fucking lucky i experienced all that great music. So fucking sad most of my idols have fallen.
Rich is so fucking right on herd
Nice, he actually looks fine, he understood THANK GOD; too badd Scott couldnt battle his demons R.I.P.
Amazing words
Is Richard wearing his hoodie backwards?
This post changed my life.
I have ADHD and all my life depression ,and came in drugs and alcohol for ten years ,now thank god i drink onely weekend and drugs ,but still i have the taste to go back in my old life and that's fuck up ! Its realy a illnis ...thanks for share
Never be a better group frontmen/bands than 1990-96
You've probably saved a few with this one.✌🏻
Dave Coutts from Talk Show got a lot of hate too. He was great, and that one album was fantastic.
danlc95 honestly anything that the deleo brothers do is nothing short of amazing. And honestly no disrespect to Scott whom I truly love (stp is my favorite band.) was holding the guys back. He was the voice of stp. But he was holding them back. Watch the velvet revolver interviews if Scott didn't feel like doing something everyone had to bend over backwards for him. In stp if Scott wasn't happy no tour no album and no money. Because Scott knew he was the shit.
Totally agree!
danlc95 oh my gosh! I still listen to talk show! That album is amazing!! It sounds like a cross between purple and tiny shop the army of anyone album was amazing. Unfortunately since it wasn't stp it was looked over but it's an Amazing album and the deleo brothers make nothing but gold
Man, I am seriously addicted to that album. I can't get enough of it. 19 years, and some surreal memories....
danlc95 oh for sure man! I remember saving up money so I could buy tiny music by stp since CD players were pretty expensive in the 90s a lot of kids these days wouldn't know what that's like haha. I remember buying purple on cassette haha. Man those albums take me back.
Incredible singer. Whenever i would talk about like a “Supergroup” I would pick him as my singer.
Seen Filter in March 2001, KC.
Got Geno's sig on Ticketmaster ticket.
Chevelle opened...
God bless Richard, I'm coming up on my 9th anniversary, September 14. One day at a time..
Richard is spot on with STP and any other band that tries to carry on with a new singer..what were the DeLeo brothers supposed to do? Hang it up? They wrote the music for STP.
Well said, Rich. Well said.
love Filter
Bottom line : Scott Weiland was S.T.P. and Velvet Revolver.
Daniel G agreed.
Seen STP least 10 times fr 1994-2010.
Never have seen, nor would see STP w/o Scott.
But that 2010 show was sad.
All times in Kansas City.
Scott was 1hr late, clearly struggling
He is right. Shame on the ones who bashed STP for changing their singer.
You can hate the music but don’t hate them. Get yourselves a life instead.
richard patrick is right about scott tho if people that really did care about him and knew something was wrong before he was to far gone and when he was still stable they should of talk and tried to help him if so he mabye would still been with us right now rip
what band/singer was he talking about around the 2:00 mark?
So based on this: loudwire.com/filter-richard-patrick-biggest-enabler-scott-weiland-is-audience/ (the actual original interview seems to be no longer available on the original site because of redesign/data got lost but a form of the transcription is at www.blabbermouth.net/news/filters-richard-patrick-the-biggest-enabler-for-scott-weiland-is-the-audience/ ) it would've been early 2015 for the enabler comments.
They (Filter) were on tour with Coal Chamber, American Head Charge, and Combichrist loudwire.com/coal-chamber-filter-combichrist-american-head-charge-2015-tour/ .
The dates from the tour *kind of* line up with the comments because the person recording would have to transcribe and write it all up but also, internet age where speed is better than accuracy.
Out of those:
- American Head Charge's lead singer has (at least a past) drug issue: www.theprp.com/2018/04/13/news/american-head-charge-vocalist-cameron-heacock-arrested-in-stolen-van-with-stolen-instruments-more/ .
- Coal Chamber's lead singer doesn't seem likely: blabbermouth.net/news/dez-fafara-says-some-of-his-coal-chamber-bandmates-have-deep-seated-st-they-need-to-work-out/ .
- Combichrist is hazier (never heard of them before).
He isn't lying at all.... I feel this
Richard is one of the singing greats
I heard "passion" comes from "suffering", and I think a long time ago, to do things you're passionate about, it consumes your life.
“I found uppers” then instinctively touches his nose.
Wonderful bloke
I know I went the fck off when they brought Chester in. They kicked me off the site😂 I still listen to STP every time I listen to music. Been a fan since the beginning..
Nobody's cooler than Richard Patrick.
Man it sure must be nice to actually have psychiatrist available to you. My mental health has been untreated for 10+ yrs because of zero local mental health support. What a crappy world we live in….
i like patrick he understands that he had his time with drugs and alcohol and sooner or later its time to stay away from them sucks he could save scott to rip
that is exact been there then had to grow up, still not the perfect guy but he puts it perfect, this is what it is, youhave to decide you stop or die
This man is my biggest inspiration
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Tom Kinney the voice of Sponge Bob?
No.
Josh Jordan i kinda thought he looked a little like the guy he was talking about.
Nice! I thought the same thing, immediately, upon seeing him.
In the beginning you take opioids to calm your brain and relieve your pain. I mean mental pain. Then towards the end. You just need it. And I mean need it. You’re not even taking it to get messed up but just out of fear of what happens when you don’t have. If you can’t get it it’s like someone telling you that you have 20 minutes of oxygen left. Good luck finding more. That’s the sheer panic you feel if you can’t get it. That’s one of the big reasons I finally stayed clean. I just never wanted to have that fear of running out again. It’s literally all consuming.
Fucking love this guy.....amazing voice.
I think the Delleo Brothers should've used a different name. That would've gave a bit of incentive for Scott to clean up. Would it of worked? I don't know. I do know he died feeling "betrayed" by bot VR and STP.
Is his hoody on backwards?
If Scott Weiland would have truly received Jesus, and turned to him with a heart of repentance for sin, he would have had a powerful experience with the Holy Spirit and be delivered from drug addiction for good! That is what happened to me on April 19, 2009. Praise the Lord Jesus.
It makes me wonder if lead singers have the addiction issues because you need a frontman that's emotional to perform. There in it creates someone who reacts very emotionally to drugs; like their circuitry is more vulnerable to it.
It strips all inhibitions away. It gives you the very thing you believe will make you a star. And you become that star, and cannot give up that crutch.
Never thought about it that way. 😯
Short bus is amazing.
Holy shit he looks like Keith Olbermann now.
he looks like a slightly older version of my English teacher
and not creepy follow but musical follow lol Filter is just as important as Trent is to me.
addiction itself is not a disease. Richard said it himself that he has ADHD and did drugs to deal with it. It is an overlying symptom of mental disorders such as ADHD, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, etc. Mental illness is the key of addiction and we need to speak up and help others who can't/won't get the help they need instead of self-medicating
psychiatry is another pseudo-science:: drs are more dangerous than the poisons that they prescribe every day.... those weird psycho-tropics and so-called anti-depressants are killin' people like nobody can believe, for decades.... sure, people can be helped by anyone who cares, even some drs might be helpful sometimes, but they're no better than anyone else collectively... the honest ones are quick to admit that.... everybody dies, it's called the other-way-of-stopping, guys... my point is, nobody knows the-real story, but everybody seems to think they-know-best: isn't it ironic? don't y'think?
Hey Kids!! Chandler is right. Get help if u struggle with any addictions, Seriously!
Ahhhh addiction....it means to fill a hole in you're soul.....is nothing to be glorified but you be surprised to how little life becomes it shinks all around you and for some of us sometimes there's nothing else..pretty boy you know?
in Malaysia is just the same problem...I Don know why singers beloved singers will indulged in drugs...most of our best singers are addicted to heroin..I just Don know why drugs are soo easily associated with group singers...
Flying hands !!! ☠️💫☠️💫
He looks like beaker from the muppets
☆ Mr☆ Richard Patrick Lookslike Mr☆ Anderson Cooper ☆ ☆ Regards - M2.H.B. 2019 ☆
So, where do we go from here?
I first saw Rich as Filter was opening for White Zombie in 1995. The crowd didn't know who the hell he was as this was literally months before they blew up. He sat up there in a leg cast on a folding chair. Screamed at us and told us "if you don't like what we sound like then we will f'ing leave". Told us we didn't appreciate good music. He stayed and finished the set before WZ came out but was pissed the entire time. It was funny. I like his music but I will never forget just how much of an unadulterated rock star a-hole he was. LOL. Or maybe it was the drugs.
