It's funny how malleable is a tune so simple as this. Lots of mixes here go for a GreenDay sound, but what I like about v2 is that it reminds me of late 70's powerpop, where there were a lot of songs like this, and very often ended up having a sound like yours. Less low end, more bite and energy.
V3 kicks hard for a second, but eventually I think is worse than v2. It makes wonder if you changed monitors, or room or something, because the mix seems to have gone thru a lot more changes that you mention, especially the global EQ; low end feels like I'm in a lowrider blasting out of a subwoofer. Snare sounds better than previous versions, and drums are bigger, rounder and more modern in general, but guitars lost that hi-mid range bite. Bass and kick probably gel better now, but both are loud enough to weigh down the mix. Also, there's more low end is louder over the left side, which is weird and noticeable on headphones (though why would someone listen to tunes like this on headphones, anyway?).
My turn now!
