      I started dating a woman 8 years older than me a year and a half ago.i asked her if she wanted to hear some good music! She said yes! So I played Vultures! She said no no no! I don't like John Mayer. I said just listen. When the song was over, she said.... Can we hear it again!?!? It was over for her at that point. We're going to see him in April!

      Dude every time I listen to this song I think of this comment and I never quite get it. Not that I disagree. But what exactly makes you feel like this song is so complete?
      It’s in my Top 5 Mayer songs for sure maybe higher, but I can never quite put my finger on why I love it so much…
      Could you explain your thought process?

    This song may just be his Magnum Opus, as far as I’m concerned. Deeply personal, unbelievable groove, great composition, incredible sectioning and phrasing. Out of his entire catalog of incredible songwriting and composing, this one really stands out to me.

      You may be right. It was absolutely amazing when I saw it live last year. There are some real gems from his Born and Raised/ Paradise Valley era. I Will be Found, Waitin on the Day, A Face to Call Home, Whiskey, and Queen of California are my faves. But another song that I heard live last year at that concert that might be his best is Changing. It was beyond epic. Another candidate is Edge of Desire, which was also epic live.

    Not trying to compare or make hotheads angry, but this song and performance, with the organ bluesy version, the slowly built up climax and the jam at the end to let you just enjoy the chords make me think it could have been a composition by The Doors and America, think about it. John Mayer is not in the crowd of current artists anymore, this is just Legendary! An artist that will remain in the new age of geniuses.

    I love the new hippie John Mayer. It seems like every album he puts out he reinvents himself. I'm so glad he left a lot of the bubble gum sound he had on his "hit" songs in the early 2000's. When he made the discussion to let the world know that he was not just a normal guitar player but a guitar monster it bought him an older crowd of fans ranging from 20's to 70's. I think you can thank Buddy Guy for that when he did Austin City Limits with John. He devoted half the show to his "hits" and then he got down with Buddy Guy and let the world know Johnny ain't messing round.

    I was in a time of my life doing drugs and up to no good I had jobs and was trying to be a good person in society, and his music at times would make it easier for me to move on in life and I listen to Mayer everyday to keep me going. I’m even saving for a good guitar and equipment to learn to play. Never be as good but he is my damn idol 😫

      Al Kelly Only weak guitar players go on RUclips to criticize and compare guitarists. Real musicians see that John Mayer knows what he's doing musically. And he plays with so much soul! I literally don't know how someone can't see that! When you win 7 Grammy Awards, you can start giving your opinions.

    • @arnolddealiii4259
      @arnolddealiii4259 10 лет назад +1

      I think comparing Steve Morse to John Mayer or even Allen Holdsworth is comparing Apples to Oranges. Allen is a fantastic guitar player in Jazz Fusion and if that's what you like then yeah your right John isn't going to really do that. But I myself don't really care for Jazz fusion, I think they are brilliant but it just sounds like a guy that can use all 4 digits on his hand going off wide open for 5 minutes while the drummer tries to keep up with what ever changes Allen is going to do next. 2 minutes of listening and you've heard it all. I think John Mayer could step into that as style of music if he wanted to but I think the sales point for John is he is as equally gifted writing music as he is soloing over the music with a guitar. I think he used to have a great voices, but his surgery has clearly restricted his vocal range which hopefully with a vocal coach and training will return if not get better. I most certainly don't think he's the best guitar player in any form of music, but I think he can hold his own with anyone living or from past generations. To sum it up he pretty damn good!

King, Eric Clapton, Kanye, Alicia Keys, etc. For crying out loud he has sung with the great Tony Bennett

    I'm here again after listening to John talk about this song in an interview about the making of "born and raised".
    It's crazy good and this is the best live version of it i think.
    Such a talented song writer never mind the guitar work. A complete John Mayer experience in one song. The whole album is quality.

    Maybe a day will come where John Mayer haters will realize it's all about the tunes man. You can be a great guitarist, world renown even, but if you can't write great songs it doesn't much matter. And John Mayer always delivers and his songbook is large and diverse.

    He performed this song in the same sord of elongated form when my fiancé and I saw him at the Forum 2 years ago and I appreciated that before he announced the song he let the audience know that the song was split into 3 parts, which is a no brainer for anyone who's really listened and analized it, which is really just another reason why to me this man is just a great person aside from his musical feats.

  • @kevinpusateri5848
    @kevinpusateri5848 11 лет назад

    the way he correlates a part of the song with a part of his life...childhood is like a dream...then he got famous and all the struggles/pressure of being a star showed in a few bad interviews because he was trying to please others rather than be true to himself...he realize he had to change and reflected on why he made the bad choices he did, forgave himself and moved on.
