YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

Filter's Richard Patrick

"There's all this work and there's all this anger in the day, and then there's the moment where you sit down and get yourself a beer and chill out and relax and all that bullsh-- from living and working and singing and even typing on a computer — all that's done, and you're celebrating nothing, but you feel OK. Emotionally, that's how I feel every night when I go to bed. I don't really drink that much anymore, but you know, there's that calming sense of 'God, everything's OK. There's no horrible sh-- in my life. There could be, but there's not.' And that's what the chorus of ["Welcome to the Fold"] is — the party at the end of the night. The weekend. The celebration of just the fact that we're doing OK, we feel OK. I think musically you have to lighten up to kind of say that. We're not a very focused, contrived band — we're not trying to sound happy or pretty, but we're living it. We're living pretty lives, we're living angry lives. F---, if I'm living it, it's going to make it in the record." — Richard Patrick, Filter singer, on the relatively sedate chorus in the industrial-rock assault "Welcome to the Fold," the first single off their forthcoming album, Title of Record (Aug 24)
