you tube is down
Mayer is talented, when it comes to covering other peoples songs
but when it comes to his own material he's weak,
only song i ever liked was Clarity...
song writing was crisp and so was the production

i returned that album,
some of the songs where just horrible, writing wise...
but his rhythm guitar is always top notch
so he'll always have my respect as a musician

Are you saying that while holding your dick or something? Good lord.

He's a good musician, no doubt, though not not really bringing anything new to the plate that I've witnessed.

It's interesting that he's moved completely away from the pop sensation he was and into the relatively faceless session-guy arena

Kool! I'd seen the trio live, but not doing the "Strut"--Thanks!!!

I hope he returns with this trio sometime, I still think it's the most exciting stuff he's done.....

I think he may be going for credibility amongst other musicians.
Or letting the public know that he's not just another pretty face that does the Light-Pop thing.
Or even better, he's just doing whatever the hell he feels like doing.

It's pretty cool that he must have a contract that let's him swing both ways.

IMO, they' played as if they've always been a team lol, they just lock right in!!! I've always been a fan of Jordan's tight, pingy snare drum work, and What can I say about Pino? Nasty!! Mayer picked a hell of a duo, there...

uh well thanx, i wasn't lookin for ur respect, but thats cool,
but i digress,
Mayer is a masterful rhythm guitarist and he doesn't get the credit, because he's a David Mathews Hooting & the Blow Fish Love child,
I still to this day say that in 1998 Mayer bought himself a delorean time machine traveled to 2000 and stole all of Jack Johnsons Material, for that bullshit EP he released Inside Wan'ts Out. Essentially because i prefer Jack Johnson to Mayer, songwriting wise, I even dig the new David Mathews, Elvis costello rip off Daniel powter. But i can't get into mayer and his own musical material, honest to god i've tried, but he just seriously pisses me off, Cause his titles are so good, but the song is never what you espect, for example in continuum, there was this song called "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room", i first envisioned to be this Sweltering hot minor key ballad, low and behold its his major key sad bastard music, that hes famous for, put your body is a wonderland in a blender added some dog shit and came up with that peice of shit. and i was like "That Fucker Fooled Me". just got fed up with it, and returned the album, hes just not my cup of tea. But then i saw him live, and he wwas performing a bunch of covers, and rocked the shit out of them!, his guitars play is top notch, ive seen mayer do things with an acoustic guitar, the most revered pplayers can't do. And its very admiring , cause rhythm guitarist never get any credit. which is why he always tries harder to impress cats like me lol.

What i would like mayer to do, is like a cover album, of funk songs,
classic funk songs, like to hear Mayer sing, Not Just , Knee Deep, or Mary Jane, or even fuckin Kiss by prince
it would be kinda cool.
but as for his personal material i can't stand it

I agree 200%. It was a smart move to start the way he did...to reveal the substance later. This way he can go between the two and no one minds. In fact, I'm more impressed. The other way around, it may not have worked.

I don't like John's lead single though. It sounds just like Curtis Mayfield's song. & I just don't like it. He should've released Belief instead. That song is hot. I want him to release Vultures too.

Love this song but John isn't believable to me. He's playing the notes and he's channelling a little SRV but I don't know, something is missing to me.

Me too. He looks too cool with that look. I saw him at Rockerfeller Center when performed for The Today Show in August and I was really impressed. I have total respect for him because he's a real musician. I only know about his singles and I've liked most of them. Someone like him deserves to be a huge superstar. For real.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
