For me, smart sessions is one of the best versions, if you hear carefully.. You will hear Chad use tom, drum bass kick and floor tom along with crash rides for every part.. It's different from Dave which he used hi-hats for chorus and hit crash cymbals few times... In my opinion, this song should be like the smart session version

Easter 1994, first overseas trip. No internet back then. Bought the No Alternative album on cassette in Thailand. What a wonderful surprise to have Sappy on it. An unlisted hidden track.

A third studio version was recorded at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, CA in May 1991, but it is not included due to blockage by the record label. This version was intended for Nirvana's second album, Nevermind.

Best one is the smart sessions, imo. Most emotional one and the solo is honestly one of Cobain's best ones.

smart sessions it's the more heartfelted in resume the better one

In Utero is the best one in my opinion. Its sound is so big and raw, I love it. And the vocals are also really great. I really wish Kurt could have recorded the vision he had in mind. Would have loved to listen to that.

Demo will always be my fave

I really like In Utero sessions one and Sad, but the most relaxing version is Sound City one (A Nevermind outtake) the guitar sounds pretty smooth, bass is crazy and drums are soft.

Something about this song is so haunting. It's like the deepest part of Kurt's essence, the one white whale, the part of his music he was never satisfied with because it was _him._

My personal favorite is the In Utero sessions one. It would've fit fine on the album, and I think it's wonderfully recorded too. Excellent production. In Utero is my favorite album of Nirvana, and 2nd favorite album of all time, so having more songs for it is amazing. Reciprocal is better than Smart Sessions, more intense vocals and rawer. Maybe the In Utero version draws from this more? The Cobain Residence demo is nice, it's the start of the song after-all. I always love Kurt's acoustic demos, especially on The Elmo Collection fan-boxset. Smart Sessions is too clean for me. Nevermind isn't a bad album, but it's just too clean and reverby. I don't think the vocals for Smart Sessions are nearly intense enough either.

I appreciate them all in their own way, but the In Utero session will always be my personal favorite. That was the only one that anyone knew about for the longest time, and I still remember borrowing a friend's copy of the girl-on-the-cover version of No Alternative just to hear that song.

If I'm not mistaken, there's another version of sappy, but it's all distorted and only a small part of it was found.

Smart sessions for me, nice fluid solo , I’m sure Kurt would’ve loved calling it nice 😅

I want to know the story behind the song “I hate myself….” That should have been on In Utero

This is missing the outtakes from the sound city sessions, although even if it was here it’d cause the video to be taken down

Was the reciprocal version on the box set?

I want to think this is a personal reflection of his mom and dad. Apparently they were not happy and Kurts dad got remarried and Kurts mom gave custody to his dad. Kurt loved his mom the most while his dad was abusive to Kurt, his mom and i think to his sister to. Maybe Kurt wanted to express his own sadness with the song. Especially for the first version in his resodence. Another could be with Courtney. He wanted to love but he got hurt way too many times from her and Kurt wanted to express that version. Kurt was happy with Francis but not with Courtney. Just two good guesses for the songs meaning

you should do a spank through version of this

there is a bleach era version that was similar to the Reciprocal session version in perfect quality

I think there were a couple of reasons it didn't make it on In Utero. Six years after it was written, the song was a little bit stale for Kurt. Also, the strumming pattern and song structure was similar enough to rape me so it may have felt too formulaic to have both tracks on the album. I love this track.

Sound City one is the best, imo. Too bad it's blocked on YT.

it is great song and all versions are enjoyable, arrangment wise i think chads constant notes on ride were pointless and dave improved it, plus he just has more power, basswise i like it when krist deviates from just playing root notes, i think in utero version has some of it. so i think they made it better.
