          The Beatles were great.......Saw Ringo and his all star band up close in St Paul
          once and Jack Bruce went into a 25 min Sunshine of your Love...

          it was fantastic...

                lots of theories....

                Discuss the deeper meaning of Beatles's song Come Together. Read and vote on user submitted song interpretations.


                shoot coca -cola sure sounds like IV coke to me.

                He got Ono sideboard has to refer to Yoko.

                One and one and one is three.....Paul going solo makes sense

                They were writing about something, just maybe never meant to be understood by the public ?

                I like Skynyrd songs like Gimme three steps, Saturday night special, etc. Pretty clear what they are saying. A song with a story like....

                Paradise by the dashboard light....Meatloaf
                I used to love her....GNR
                Love Stinks....J Giels
                Cat's in the Cradle...harry Chapin
                Brown sugar...Stones

                and so many more

                not modern crap like Lady Gaghh.

                  Stones have the longevity factor for sure.

                  How about Skynyrd for just a few years work, Brock ?

                    Doug why don't you try a music forum you keep posting these what do these songs mean in a sports gambling forum...

                    HERE YA GO

                    This song was written by John Lennon during his and Yoko's bed-in in Toronto in May 1969. It came about when their friend, Timothy Leary, the LSD drug mahatma and self-proclaimed liberator of the world's collective mind, slowed up at the bed-in. At this time, Leary had made a decision to run for political office, and came up with the campaign slogan of "Come Together." With this slogan in mind, he asked John to write him a song using it, that his followers could sing on the campaign trail. Lennon's take on the slogan was to come together and join the party, and wrote the song. Before Leary could use it, he was arrested and went to jail. As a result of Leary being gone, Lennon figured his obligation to him was no longer in force, thus he and The Beatles recorded it.

                      Guns N Roses from 88 till 1993 were astonishingly good.

                          Axl was kind of a dick though, he'd cancel concerts for not great reasons, but yes a good act....Original Skynyrd pre-crash was better.

                              it was his way or the high way, and i respect that. Hell the guy is in my avatar for a reason LOL

                              Not to hijack your thread, but there have been very few front men more charismatic and powerful performing than Axl Rose.

                                Ozzy Osbourne

                                James Hetfield

                                Vince Neil


                                Are all way more superior than Rose....in every category....
                                Axl is not in the class as those three.....

                                G & N had a few albums......nothing more.....

                                  Mick Jaggar is certainly one !

                                  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy GNR a lot.

                                  Jim morrisson

                                  Ray davies ( Kinks) was pretty strong.

                                  Meatloaf was unique, but didn't do enough

                                  Bono

                                  The metallica lead singer I forget his name

                                  Queen's Freddy Mercury, but I hate queen.

                                  Bob seger

                                  GNR didn't exactly produce a ton of albums.

                                    GNR is grossly overated......
                                    They should not be idolized for any reason.......

                                    Did they even make it in the Who's Who's of Rock and Roll.....
