Filter frontman Richard Patrick is one angry man. Bring up music piracy and Patrick launches into a profanity-laced diatribe against Internet geeks. Ask him about some charlatan who claimed he wrote Patrick's modern rock smash single Take a Picture and he lets the lyrics to the new song So I Quit do the talking: "Try to take something from me, motherfucker/ You're gonna fuckin' die, you piece of shit."
But mention something sex-related, and the words "tender" and "loving" flow freely from Patrick's mouth. Does that mean that when it comes to women, the former nine inch nails guitarist is a complete Sally? As you'll see, nothing could be further from the truth. Before the release of Filter's third album, The Amalgamut, Playboy.com sat down with Patrick for a chat about sport-fucking groupies, videotaping on the sly and one memorable Lone Star State sexathon.
1. What was your most memorable sexual experience?
Richard Patrick: About a week ago, I had my girlfriend on a table. She wanted something different. She was like, "Come on, man, be forceful. Be a little crazy." I went, "You want crazy?" I kicked over the fuckin' table and everything falls off. I put the table back on its legs and I'm like, "Get on the fuckin' table!" I fucked her right there on the table and we're moving shit and the table's falling over. It was in a hotel and there were busboys outside. I heard them laughing and talking. After I'm done, I'm like, "What the fuck?" I started telling her I heard someone. I open the door and all these Mexican guys are standing outside. They're all getting a thrill out of it. The least they could have done was said we were being too loud.
2. What celebrity would you most like to have sex with?
RP: I can't say that. What if I run into her?
3. Where's the most unusual place you've had sex?
RP: The bathroom at Kmart.
4. Ever have sex with a groupie?
RP: Are you kidding? I'm a bachelor with a vengeance. Fucking different women is like a fuckin' sport to me. Yeah, I fuck groupies. Fuck yeah.
