Former NIN Drummer Chris Vrenna On His New Gig At UofM + Nine Inch Nails Stories

This is such an interesting listen. I’d never met or interviewed Chris before. He was so much fun to talk to!
We talked about his new gig, at the University of Michigan. He’s taking his lessons learned, and passing them on to a younger generation.
Of course, we had to talk about his time in Nine Inch Nails. He talked about the song “Closer” and how Trent Reznor spit out the lyrics to the surprise of Chris and the producer. He spoke of being inducted into the Rock Hall, Johnny Cash covering “Hurt” and more.
There’s so much we didn’t get into, so Chris has promised to come back on in the future. This is a fun listen!
