Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Alternate Reality Mix)

I wanted to make an alternate version of SLTS that was closer to the original demo than the final product. I also added a Bleach-y / Sub Pop twist to it. You can read the original discussion here:

The changes are:

I made it slightly slower and heavier. I reduced the speed of the song by 5bpm and pitched everything down one step as if everything was tuned to E♭.

I changed the clean intro guitar to the distorted one used under the solo.

I changed the vocal melody and word length slightly to reflect the one used in the demo. I used the second verse simply because that was one that sounded the best.

I tried to make it sound like a different drummer, i originally wanted to make it sound like Chad Channing, but as Dave Grohl is a pretty hard hitter halfway through i started envisioning Dale Crover or perhaps even Aaron Burckhard on the drums.

I changed the timing of the verse clean guitar part to bring it more in line with the demo. I also darkened the sound a bit.

I added some high end to the bass to make it sound more 'chunky'.

I added a little bit of distortion and slapback delay on the vocals in the pre-chorus.

I extended the break after the chorus to four 'hey's' as heard on the demo.

None of Andy Wallace's bright pop sheen mastering, tried to make it rougher / more abrasive sounding (that bit wasn't hard as i'm not very good).
