I know nothing about his music but he must have a good following because he's playing MSG 2 dates in a row.
An opening band touring with him is playing and I want to see them instead.
Peace

Tons of women love the guy too, so you can expect it not to be a sausagefest.

Word .. right on .. i was thinking he reminds me off a bad knock off of Dave Matthews
His new album comes on Nov. 17....check out 'Who Says'...cool, laid back track. Also, do an internet search for "Half of My Heart" which has just been leaked....good song despite a small cameo by Taylor Swift....sounds very Fleetwood Mac-ish to me....which is a good thing
I appreciate his talent as a guitar player more than anything and, hell, he's down with boy EC so he can't be all bad.
He just announced tour dates yesterday so my friend and I are looking forward to seeing him in Memphis next March.

I've only seen him live once, at the Rothbury Festival. It was a late afternoon set, so it was kind of hard to judge, but it was pretty relaxing. He's great on guitar (not a God like people claim, but still pretty talented).
In short, pretty good guitar player that can write good songs. He's worth listening to and checking out live, but nothing to slave over. I wouldn't travel to go see him, but if he comes to pittsburgh anytime soon I'll most likely be there.

Thanks for all the updates on John Mayer, the only thing I know about him is that I saw or heard something about him in one of those trash magazines The Enquirer.

Yeah lol my friend is super heavy into John Mayer...I never understood why because he plays guitar and listens to a lot of the same music as me. One day he made me watch a John Mayer dvd...I'm not running out and buying the albums or anything but the trio is pretty badass. Everything else...meh

take a good look
this could be the day

i just need to say
I'm a moderator over on Michael's music board and they're giving him grief for selling out playing these dates with John Mayer. Michael Franti usually plays smaller clubs and venues, now he's playing MSG, Wacovia Philly, Verizon Ctr DC. That's the main reason I wanted to know who this guy is, look up something on Youtube.
Peace

Check this out. My favorite song from the John Mayer Trio. He's got a seriously talented bass player and drummer too.

I know John really well, we grew up together and I've been on tour with him throughout the country. I think it's a pretty odd pairing and I'll be surprised if John's fanbase is really into franti's set, I just don't see it happening unfortunately.
Is Pino Palladino still touring with Mayer? He's a heckuva bass player.... you don't play with The Who, or Clapton or Jeff Beck if you aren't good.

Even his first album, which many consider his poppiest, so to speak, is riduculous to play. Take, for example the song "St. Patrick's Day." It uses over 30 chords. He blends pop and blues together, and manages to write complex music that seems simple to the ear. He has earned the respect of teenie-boppers everywhere, along with the likes of Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, and BB King. That is not an easy feat. And the dude has even covered Yellow Ledbetter live (he's a big Pearl Jam fan).
I respect your opinions, and it's one thing not to like the guy or his music. But have you truly given it a shot? Have you heard anything besides "No Such Thing," "Why Georgia," "Your Body Is a Wonderland," and "Bigger Than my Body?" Even I can't stand some of his songs . . . but he's a very talented musician.
And to those saying he's an overrated guitarist, I'm curious to hear why? Which guitarists do you enjoy? And what about Mayer's playing don't you enjoy? I've been playing for a while, and typically have a pretty good ear for a good musician, so I'm just curious as to other people's opinions.

Also, album pre-orders came with a pre-sale code for tickets so I picked me and and my homegirl up some sweet tickets for the memphis show
