I've always thought of John Mayer as Michael Bolton with a guitar.

John Mayer is a total moron, that interview is all the evidence you need. And I'm not talking about what he said about Pearl Jam. Too bad since he is a talented guitar player, though he writes sappy ass lyrics.

i've always understood him to be a big PJ fan, that he loves them. a fan is entitled to disagree with some things their fave band might say or do....no?

I know, I know, low post count. I've been trying to post a little more lately so that when I do actually post something I don't get this reaction.

Overhyped? You ever heard him shred? Guy is an amazing guitar player

My friend likes Mayer and always talks up his guitar playing too. Here's the thing....yes, he's a very good guitarist. But if I want to hear the blues, I'll listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn or something like that because Mayer's voice sounds like Dave Matthews with Downs Syndrome.

John Mayer is a great guitar player and a great singer, but he is just so damn full of himself and says a lot of things that are really unnecessary, from what I've seen and read in interviews. If he just played shows and sang his songs and never said a word outside of that, maybe I'd like him.

And by the way:

It frightens me to think of how many people think he is an "amazing" guitarist. Not a grain of originality and flat out playing-wise he's just not that good. Great at lookin like he plays the blues though.

LikeAnOpeningBandForTheSun

if he came out and said PJ was the greatest band ever, people here would be drooling over his knob. but because he said something mildly, possibly, not really at all negative, everyone gets all up in arms over it.

got the terrible "O" face thing down.......yuck! :?

Heatherj43

Geez, he says that he wants the fame, but have any of you ever seen what happens when the papparazzi tries to talk to him? He is so offstandish and acts like he doesn't even want to be known. He acts like they are intruding on him. He is a douche and a fraud.

Exactly! I mean he's probably practised 8 HOURS a Day EVERY SINGLE day for the last 25 years Straight!!!...Anyone with that AMOUNT of practise is bound to be "Half Decent" at the Guitar...HECK! even I could be "Half Decent" with THAT much Practise!...:P

THANK YOU. My thoughts exactly. Same with magazine and newspaper reviews and people getting bent out of shape over those. You love the writer if he praises them but god forbid they write something bad. I have seen people post some of the nasty, immature emails they have written to some of these journalists. Take offense when someone insults YOU or your family or your pet iguana...not a band you obsess over.

In the end, it's the music that really matters: you either like it or
you don't. There's nothing to be gained by trashing bands you don't
like.

All the bands that were on top of the world don't last that long. So it was a good move for PJ to become reclusive when they the biggest band in the world between '92-'95.

I actually didn't like them at first because they so big in '93 without really listening to them. But then Yield came along and I joined on the bandwagon eventhough a lot of fans were already jumping off of it. LOL

sorry but jack johnson just does not interest me at all. Bannana Pancakes? hahahahaa
that is just as fluffy and poppy as John Mayer.

I should have clarified the above by saying
John Mayer Trio > Jack Johnson

the john mayer trio is some solid blues rock. great guitar work in a classic power trio. check it out before you bash it.

Great comparison to Jack Johnson. People around here like Jack because Eddie has played with him but come on...Bubble Toes? All he does is play different variations of the same 5 chords on an acoustic guitar but he must be amazing if Ed likes him.
