I seriously love this tune. I have probably listened to it more than any other from the PJ album. I think it's one of the best they've ever done. It's great.

I fucking love that song. Thank God they played it last night because I was going to bring a sign on Mon. that said "Come Back". That song and "Black" are way up there for me and they played both. It doesn't get any better.

It's a great addition to the untapped market of cheese ballads of the 80s. Come Back is up there with the greats like "I'll Be There For You", "Don't Know what You got ('till it's gone)", "Love Bites", etc.

Did not really dig it when I got the album. However after I heard it from the Pistoia show, wow. It really is a great live song, almost 10x better than the studio verision.

No, sorry you're not feeling well, but it's nothing at all like those, really. Def Leppard never came so close to lyrical poetry. Much more of an Otis Redding type thing and how on Earth can you insult that?

Yeah, the first time I heard it I thought it had an Otis Redding vibe to it too.
The comparison to 80's cheese-rock couldn't be more inaccurate. Thy lyrics, guitar work, the bass and drumlines are simple but amazing on this song.

Otis Redding is definitely a good comparison. Hadn't really thought of it before, but I think you're right.
I think a lot of people don't like songs you can't headbang to, which is fine. I, for one, love a good, slow gut-wrenching ballad.
When 'Cready's solo kicks in at the end, and ed starts wailing "I'll be heeeere!" -- if you can't get into that, you just don't like music.

LOL at the L'il Wayne comment, but Come Back is awesome.
I must be completely insane. It is the only song by PJ that makes me angry when I hear it. I've heard it live, studio, karaoke, covered and it sucked every time.

I've thought about this reply long and hard. Consequences be damned. You are stupid. You, and all those like you, astound me constantly, make me worry about tomorrow. I know your particular genetic handicap (stupidity) is being bred with a lot of success, but I hope they never find a way to make it air-borne. If they ever do, goodbye human race. Damn.

Hahaha. It's stupid to not like a grade school slow dance song that has been done a billion times before? The song is terrible.
Eddie was singing "Come Baaa aa aaa aaa ck" at the end of Light Years at the Thunder Bay '05 show and I told my buddy that if Eddie Vedder writes a song that uses that "Come Baaa aa aaa aaa ck" part that we heard, I would slap him in the face. Idle threats for sure, but to say that I was disappointed to hear the song on the album is an understatement.
Good on anyone who likes it though.

C'mon "all been done before"? If you're using that argument you really need to look at most of PJ's songs because they too have pretty much "all been done before"...
And that's not a knock against them, but just a silly argument.
Do you like any of their slow songs?

My thoughts exactly. Was not into at all on the album, but live, it is so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes like only certain songs can...like Release, Black and even Small town on a good night....Eddie can sing it with such conviction, he truly expresses his grief in a such a crystal clear way, I cant help feeling it.

Yeah I definitely got the Otis Redding feel from it. Right around the time this album came out I was in a huge motown/R&B phase and I couldn't help but compare the song to Otis's "These Arms of Mine." Ed has mentioned his roots in older R&B like how he was a huge Jackson 5 fan as a kid. I've always wanted Pearl Jam to exploit these influences a little more and in "Come Back" they did just that.

Just so much raw emotion.. Only Ed could make that song come alive the way it does..
