IMHO, the Disturbed take is dramatically different than the S&G version, and possibly even more fitting to the tone of the lyrics. It's much darker, and plays like a very different song, with different emotional impact. There's an anger in the later verses that isn't there in the original, which changes the entire arc of the song.

To me, they're substantially different.

This isn't better than the original,but a long shot, but it's simply amazing.

Has this been posted? I don't like it over the original, but it's a real good take on the song.

Gary Clark Jr is finally getting some big radio love (long over due) with his cover of "Come Together"

Written by Funkadelics guitarist Eddie Hazel made a hit by the Temptation and done by Etta James and Aerosmith. But by far this is my favorite version.
