- www.MixMyMusic.net - This is the best one yet. Butch Vig deconstructs the song Smells Like Teen Spirit. Like the other videos, this is one is of him behind the console in the studio soloing out sections of the song and talking about how they made the record. Tip of the hat to "Classic Albums".

Hearing Kurt’s voice isolated gives me goosebumps.
Type in "Classic albums documentary nirvana nevermind"
Vig is super humble, but even he can't hide his pride in this masterpiece. I can't blame him.
i can see the pleasure in his eyes while he's talkings about the recording, such a great vibe and memories to relive
You have no idea what you re talking about guys
@@user-yo9qc8gs4e Neither do you.
Let's be clear, he had the good pride. He humbly admits that he just doubled and quadrupled the vox and guitar tracks on every song. Thank goodness he did. He was kind of like the fourth member of that album.
8 blame Courtney
Leaving that guitar feedback out of the mix was criminal. It's so chilling and beautiful.
Yammark Cardenas wow thank you!!! This is so great to hear from start to finish this way.
This is the only version I will ever want to listen to now
It is in the final mix.
@@JBrooksNYS It's really clear as well. Not sure how others can't hear it.
it is in the mix dipshit
Floyd Graveling 1) no it's not really. Yes there is a bit of feedback but it sounds like a single note and is pulled back when it swells. The Vig mix showcases a night and day difference where you can hear the really thick harmonics of it. It's just not even close: open.spotify.com/track/68jFw2d3SaS0SVcCNrcna2?si=tSkj21ddT_SRKiNtxMCxng
I didn't mean "leaving all guitar feedback out was criminal" I meant "leaving the interesting guitar feedback out was criminal" and I think that's pretty obvious
2) no need to call someone a dipshit over this, dipshit
man these videos are priceless, thank you
Whty are they priceless? i think its worth a lot
dont kill the vibe dude.
priceless means worth a lot
anyone know where is this originally released? Is this some dvd extra?
@@pinkeye00 your mom jokes. what are you like fucking 11?
Butch is an incredible producer and musician. Love all his work.
This is how you record History in an album. Thanks a lot Butch... You`ve made a whole generation of teenagers really happy and addicted to real authentic music!!!!
yeah, he is an awesome recorder he should have done in utero but both sounded good. I like the snare on this album
Yes
but andy wallace mixed it and made it sound perfect. listen to bitch vig’s mix of teen spirit vs andy wallace mix
Several generations. That's part of the beauty of this track, it perfectly incapsulates a certain rebellious teen/young adult energy in such a timeless way that it can still be enjoyed by people who grew up with it and generations of teenagers since. The album Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins is simular in that way, but with a completely different vibe.
Dude, for the last "A denial," I absolutely LOVE how the one vocal drops out and leaves the other to ring out a bit more! It's like, for the whole song, the vocals sound so mysterious and trippy, but when that one vocal drops out, it's like the illusion is broken and you're left with this raw in-your-face attack that sounds just so amazing!
Such a perfect description
Even 10 years later
Yes! Such an interesting and provocative point.
that guitar feedback at the third verse is one of the greatest thing caught on tape musically speaking, a simple thing sounding so creepy beautifully.
Yes! I always supposed it would have been dubbed in after experimenting for a while. To learn it was just the continuation of the same take is kind of mind blowing.
Hearing Cobain singing "A denial" without any instruments just stopped my heart!
Bipolar disorder dares you to not give fuk about etics and such, pure feeling of angry normality on phoneys
It's incredible to hear Kurt's raw voice... what a powerful sound, to hear him almost literally rending his vocal chords for the sake of belting his soul to the world.
this man is a genius...
The best producers job ever
true artist
+DJ_URBAN_BG Amazing!
0:54 I always enjoyed that moment in this song. Kurt comes in with another verse and the guitar in the background would still be howling from the solo. Great idea!
Butch Vig has so much love for his work, you can tell he really gives it his all when he records.
I could listen to"A Denial" for hours
what a weird ass kink to have
That harmonic feedback at the end of the solo that carries over the next two bars is what makes the song. I never knew it was feedback from Kirks guitar. I figured it was some synth that kicked in at the end. So cool to know the real deal
I knew it instantly and dont even know anything about guitar really
I’m not sure how he got the feedback for it
@@Anzac1 usual way, play loud, hold a chord and turn to face/lean in to the amp then move around to get the different overtones.
@@Anzac1 Amp was likely set really loud. Easy to get feedback
Ah yes Kirk Hammond from nirvana
All these years later, and this song still gives me chills. It has to be one of the best songs ever recorded. Just brilliant.
dat feedback thou....
That guitar solo was the first I ever learned to play... I will forever love this song for that.
His production took the record to a whole other level
No one makes music like this anymore. No one. It hit me like a ton of bricks when I was in the 8th grade. There are no other recordings where I can tell you where I was, and what I was wearing when I heard it for the first time. I went home THAT day and told my parents I was going to buy a guitar. It changed everything.
The drums sound so much better in this clip of him mixing than they did in the final mastered version (which you can hear briefly from 1:31)
On their own I agree, but I think all of the extra sizzle on the cymbals takes up a lot of space and makes the vocal sound weaker. A lot of Andy Wallace's mixes are like this, where the cymbals aren't overly bright to make room for the vocal.
Andy Wallace compressed the drums a bit much I agree... But overall the mix still is good. Too bad the masters are gone.
@@mikesgarage18 what do you mean they're gone?
@@Glixity They were destroyed in the 2008 Universal studios fire.
@@mikesgarage18 They still have digitised versions of the master tapes, but I agree it’s a real shame the originals were lost
This whole CD has excellent dynamic range, something that music today lacks due to production companies trying to make the music as loud as possible. Great job Butch!
That's mainly the job of the mastering engineer.
Yeah they compress the music to try and make it "Louder" which takes detail out of an already bland song. This record is what happens when you mix everything properly and try to level everything correctly instead of trying to make it as loud as possible.
I loved how Kurt let that Guitar go through the whole third verse sounds amazing
This song contains the hardest hitting chorus of any rock song ever made. Tell me I’m wrong. In terms of sheer momentum, power, and feeling, and just how it’s built up to with the pre-chorus. No other chorus hits like this.
@anti-islam9569so what is
@anti-islam9569don't be negative
Kurt had such a great screaming voice. Besides his melody writing, this was probably his greatest talent.
The ending bit of just Cobain's voice gives me chills.
That feedback always gave the song something extra going into the 3rd verse .....
The version of the song released on the compilation album "Nirvana" seems to have the solo feeding back into the final verse like butch wanted to keep in the original.
Any chance it's on RUclips somewhere? I'd love to hear it, I prefer the way Butch wanted it as well, it sounds better that way.
What amazing band, I am so lucky I could witnessed this one in one hundred years phenomenon
I always thought the feedback from the solo was the best part of the song. It gave it such a haunting/ doomed feeling.
That long feedback has always been my favorite part of the song. Brilliant.
this song is amazing; Nirvana is amazing, Butch is amazing.
kurt's voice is just amazing.
"It's pretty powerful-sounding."
Yes.. Yes, it is.
wow when he gets to a denial its extremely haunting,and gives me shivers and it sounds so sad and depressing but strong and powerful....Rip Kurt
dam kurt was a bit of a genius songwriter without even knowing it or trying
V smith Yes sir. He would literally just write a song and riff in a few minutes and would create an awesome catchy song. Not easy to do!
keithrig SO true.. He was such a genius!
DJ D He was just blessed with that natural ability to write song's, I can't think up a song, as far as I know, but he could make a song sometimes in 5 minutes when it just came to him!!!!!
V smith He was blessed with it coming to him naturally, and from some thing's that just recently he had experienced, and he was able to make it into a song!!!!!
what makes you think he only spent 5 minutes on smells like teen spirit?
Everyband in the last 10 years needs to watch and take notes from these videos.
This is how real music with real feeling and depth is made.
The way Kurt always dragged his voice in the certain key of which ever song they played always sounded godly.
And that kids, is how you master record a classic.
Pure talent, Vig and Kurt.
Butch Vig is one of the best music producers and sound engineers of 90s. His understanding of music as a sophisticated arrangement of various musical elements and samples also is ideally embodied in the first two albums of his own band Garbage.
God, I love just listening to the Guitar Solo~ AMAZING!
So crazy I was born in 88', this young man's music was my childhood, it is creepy hearing the raw track out of it's mixed form, hearing Kurt give it his all, it sure would of been nice to have him around a little bit longer. Miss ya bud
Fuck bro, amazing talent...gave me chills...
There are 36 dislikes on this video. Seriously, who clicks on this particular video, or others of Butch mixing Nevermind, watches the content and thinks it's shit?
Stupid cocksuckers for sure..
Total fuck nuts
I like the video for what it is, but I dislike that it's 2½ minutes long, which is not nearly long enough to break down a 5 minute song.
Trolls
Seriously stupid cocksuckers, lol.
Omg i love these. Wish there was more.
Amazing sharp voice Kurt had.
this just made me fucking cry ... just hearing his voice like that .....x'(... just resonated within me and came out in a flurry of tears and emphatic emotion ... kurts voice is something i cant express but its like it just exemplified everything he was felt within.. it just overwhelms me with what he was ...... :'(....... *
wow i really love this song. thats why im in a band right now.
Yeah, this doc is so good. You can just tell that Butch's soul is in this album too, and for him to share the studio process like this is a gift to the world.
Wow, the song is over 20 years old and I never knew they doubled up the vocals on it.
Wtf
Are you deaf
Are you christian?
This is the coolest fu king shit I’ve seen ... as a musician myself seeing this is everything
love feedback effects like that, that was really cool
i just realised that butch vig was very important in making that album and nirvana so famous
Imagine being the guy who has the original recording if this iconic song!
Right at the end. Right there, 1:57. Those scene of Kurt, and the sad look on Butch's face. Like most comments, broke my heart.
The man who worked with the legends to create one of the best albums in music history...
I really like how they edit the last 30 seconds or so, with different angles of Butch Vig, and then Kurt, all of a sudden. It seems to show how much it meant to Butch to be a part of this. But then when Kurt appears it seems to imply the tragic element of the whole situation. It's touching.
I love that part too. That's great storytelling.
it's amazing, about fourteen years ago i hear this song when i was ten and it changed my life so drastically and permanently, (like millions of other peoples) and it's just very interesting to see how it was all put together and created, I love Nirvana, although i rarely listen to them now, i still re-visit now and again and they'll always be my favourite band x
My dad bought me this DVD and the WTLO box set when I was 15!
Couldn't tell you how many times I've returned to this video just to hear the "a denial" part isolated, nearly brings me to tears every time
0:31 i love it
Bitch Vig is incredibly talented. Nevermind will always be my favorite Nirvana album.
Butch Vig is such a legend
I love producing music, it is so much fun.
I know absolutely nothing about it but I wish I got into it. I would absolutely love it I know. As a musician who dissects songs in my head constantly I should perhaps look into this because maybe this is what’s missing in my life
to think that song has been around for 18 years now, and yet here's a video that will make you see it in a whole new light. awesome.
That feedback is amazing, wish that that was kept in, has an almost mystical property
Fantastic !
R.I.P !
I remember watching this on TV like 20 years ago. It stuck with me for years. Smells Like Teen Spirit itself is a truly haunting song, but if you isolate any one particular instrument/vocals, it gets even more haunting. The way it all lines up in a melodic volcano of sparks and ash is truly incredible work. Just listen at how great Dave is at keeping the rhythm and wrestling it on the drums, it’s almost like there is a huge battle going on.
The difference between the first chorus and second and last is so minimal but that's the difference in music recorded back then, no "one take, double it, copy paste, loop it" they literally performed it risking that it will have imperfections...which is why we like it better not sounding quanititized
I love that crappy part. It’s a very important part.
Creepy
His voice is amazing
when you put two tracks (it can be voices, guitar, bass, even drums) together, it sounds like two guys are singing the same part...sort of...it can make a huge difference in a song...like this one.
This is my first time seeing this!Wow!Wow! and Wow!Blows my mind that it's been twenty years since Nevermind was released.
Its a cliche....but this was our anthem back then for a load of teenagers.... as a 15 year old kid growing up with this excellent music was just an awesome musical experience....thanks Butch!
that is awsome i love screwing with recording equipment
Wow! The feedback of the guitar is amzing after the guitar solo
Man that ending is haunting as fuck. Like butch said, pretty powerful without any instruments
The idea is to add texture to the sound, so the slight difference in the second track would actually enhance the recording. If you used the same track twice there would be a slight echo and it would be more obvious that it was overdubbed (strangely enough).
aah his voice is so emotinal and good, its everything, its like a peace of heaven idk how to explain it, and without the music instruments you can hear it so gooood. Saw this documantairy, every fan: go watch it, its go awsum
love, nirvana.
the most powerful song ever written.
he had a great voice
hehe yea. It's a subtle effect but it's amazing to see how much power it puts behind the vocals.
today 22 years of this single !
man, i love screwing with a song, like taking out the drums to hear a different version, and doing all that with nirvana...OH MAN...pleasure to my ears. That "denial"part hurt my throat though...
That was the BEST thing I've ever heard. I can't even compare it to movies in 3D
Interesting to hear the guitar riff during the third verse underneath the feedback, which was removed from the final mix and only present in the first 2 verses even though he always played it during the third verse in live versions.
need to make the whole acapella =] would be nice to hear kurts voice in all of the song

the feedback gave me goosebumps O.o
The "A denial" part stopped my heart.
u good bro?
Who else was surprised when he showed the vocals only
1:23 - Oh myyyyyy. This feedback is amazing!!
Gracias Buch Por hacer Una Obra de arte Junto a Nirvana
I wish these existed for all my favorite albuma
Getting Emotional Here, Love U Kurt.
September 24th is the 20-year anniversary of Nevermind! There was a time in the early 90s when punk, metal, and "alternative" bands ruled the charts (Nirvana, Metallica, Chili Peppers, Green Day and dozens of others broke into the mainstream). It was the best time to "awaken" to music since the late 60s. I wonder if rock-n-roll will have another epoch or has it all been done?
These videos are amazing
Butch vig is top notch! (Y)
