John Mayer is Awesome

  1. Here's the audio of the John Mayer Trio on Conan last week. the solo is AMAZING.

    I now believe John Mayer will go down as one of histories greatest guitar player ever. for serious.
     
  2. that performance was alright. he's done better. and i didnt really like his version of that song.

    this is my fav song of his

  3. i've said this for years, and it wasn't until recently that people stopped making fun of me for it. He is by far one of the most talented guitarists/musicians of all time
     
  4. he's a guitar god. got inducted in 2007.
     
  5. i agree, John Mayer is really good. first time i heard of him was on the dave chappelle show
     
  6. He's good I'd love to jam with him...hes now Stevie Ray though.
     
  7. He lost credibility with his first pop album, but people are starting to realize what an amazing musician he is.
     
  8. I've always been criticized for being a BIG John Mayer fan. Continuum is one of my all time favorite albums. My favorite song to listen to while baked from John Mayer is either "Gravity" or "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room"
     
  9. I find John Mayer perplexing, because I can see that he is a very talented musician, but I just cannot get into his music. :p

    I have that problem with a lot of quite influential bands though. :hide:
     


  10. Yea, you can be a good musician and not make good music... "good" is subjective after all.

    I kind of agree with you on John Mayer... I'm not too impressed with what I've heard him put out in albums, but live performances and covers are where he has really impressed me.
     
  11. i agree. he's okay, but i just cant get into his guitar like i can for other good bands. i much prefer johnny greenwood, albert hammond jr., doug martsch, rivers cuomo,...
     
  12. I recognize that he's a good musician, but I don't think his music is any good at all. Plus, he's one cocky sonovabitch in the media, and I just can't stand people like that.

    "Rock" on, John Mayer

    John Mayer + Awesome = Does not compute.

    One good song:

    I'm sorry, I couldn't find a video with a less homoerotic pic of him, they're pretty much all like that, hence why John Mayer is not in anyway, shape or form, awesome.
     
  14. i like his cover of Kid A
    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ5p90us17c]YouTube - John Mayer: Kid A (Radiohead cover)[/ame]
    neat
     
  15. lol. if your friends listen to stuff like norma jean that makes sense.
     
  16. a friend showed me this. all the talking isnt necessary but mayer covering jimi is like...mind blowingly awesome.
