The alternate timeline this comes from: - John doesn't die in 1980 - The Beatles try to reunite several times during the 80s, but every attempt gets shot down by George - John meets Kurt in 1992 after Nevermind gets released - After releasing In Utero in 1993, Kurt leaves Nirvana to play with his hero - In 1994, The Beatles officially return with the new lineup of John, Paul, Kurt, and Ringo

As nice that would be, Kurt wouldnt join the beatles because he has responsibilities to Nirvana. Not to mention, he would feel like he wouldnt fit being significantly younger, and also from a darker and dirtier background than his happy english heroes

Lithium is another one that has a kind of early Beatles-ish catchiness to it. A lot of Nirvana songs have that kind of 1960s pop quality to them, which is probably one of the reasons they were so popular. They gave cynical gen X kids a way to enjoy simple little tunes but with a punk edge so they wouldn't feel too corny about it.

it's not bad but it didn't capture the early Beatles essence in my opinion. That guitar solo would never be played by the beatles. The uploader basically left the solo as it is. It should have been like an early jumpy George Harrison kind of solo like I Saw Her Standing There. Also, the drums aren't Ringo-like at all. A LOT of things are still way too grungy in this arrangement.
