The Story Behind: The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico, Ep 21

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Velvet Underground cut their first record in a nearly condemned building with Andy Warhol peering over their shoulders. The boys have a contentious conversation about bad drum takes, out of tune guitars, and the visceral punch that a 2-chord song can pack.
