John admittedly says on the Rick Rubin podcast that he doesn't like his voice on these songs cause Jerrys voice is so different and he doesn't blame anyone for not liking it either.
I’m not a John Mayer listener or a fan or anything like that. But I really enjoy him in Dead and Company.
John sings the hell out of this song. I get watching a guy live your dream makes you a bit bitter but c'mon, John brought this band and its music to a whole new group of fans and kept the trip rolling. Your reaction makes me think of Uncle Rico watching Patrick Mahomes ball out lol.
First off, it’s YOUR opinion that he sings the song well. I’m not a fan of it. Second, my dream is not to play with Dead and co, so there’s no bitterness. Third, I agree that he has brought the music to a new generation, which is great. And fourth, I bet I can throw that silver sky over that mountain.
Took me a minute to get the Uncle Rico reference. Lol
Lucky enough to have gotten the dead spec at retail. Thing plays unbelievably well. I get the built vs. bought argument, but this is a special guitar because 1. It’s limited to 1000 pieces and 2. It’s the exact guitar that Mayer used on tour. Can’t get the same magic and wow factor by just putting a blaster in an SE
i just got one myself for a little over retail but nowhere close to the absurd resale price. I agree with what you said & am also STOKED for it, we will see how it is tomorrow lol
these videos should just be titled, "to sum it up, I don't like john mayer, its a no for me dog"
I mean, I don’t know him personally, so I can’t say I don’t like him. However, not a fan of his voice on this one.
Davvy you should check out the Dark Star on the Big River from 6/27/23! Theres a good quality video of it on youtube. It is a great example of improvisation as Bob leads the band from Big River into a spontaneous Dark Star. Sounds crazy but it is really dope. Love the vid!
Right on. Haven't been following any of this too closely for quite a while, now, but I see Weir still has that spirit, and is now definitely looking like a bona fide old crazy
dude now, as well.
I’m a subscriber, so obviously a supporter of you. But the stuff that John does with his voice that you don’t like, you did the same thing when you sang it lol
Nah
Davey, we all know your feelings towards John and could have guessed what you were going to say before even watching. But come on man, how can you even claim to have an honest reaction when you just decide to play your own solo over his solo the entire time!? Now that’s what’s disrespectful.
Lmao. I can do whatever I want in my videos, homie. If you wanna hear that song all the way through, you can go listen to it. You don’t have to watch these videos if they’re going to trigger you.
Buddy hates John 😂
Davvy coming off as an old man yelling at the wall in this one 😂
I AM just an old man yelling at the wall. All the time. Not just in this one.
We *all* are…! (If we’re lucky…)
@@TobyDavvy Some of the best things I've said were while yelling at a wall- the wall had it coming 😂😂
It's not his voice, it's that he tries to sing in this stupid phony style, that's obviously not his natural singing voice.
Loved watching this. How many times you hit that vape you could tell it really bothered you. Mayer is very egotistical complete opposite of Jerry. I like some of mayers music but boy try not to watch any interviews of him or you’ll hate him more. Thanks for the lessons. Learned china cat from you and I thought it would be way out of my skill level. Thanks again. It’s ok to hate mayers cheesy singing. It is cheesy.
I'm just hear to say that I never saw Jerry or the Grateful Dead, but I have thankfully been given the opportunity to see members of that band, and I'm happy about that. I understand it isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's also cool. The vulturing by PRS shouldn't fall on Mayer though. Opinions are like buttholes (everyone has one). You clearly do care though. You posted a video criticizing Mayer for his bluesy guitar playing and then completely contradict yourself by saying "I don't care though". Seems like a fake nonchalant attitude. Also, everyone has a unique voice, right? Jerry is unfortunately no longer a physical being on Earth and everyone else is kind of just trying their best. Also, it seems a tad disrespectful. I like the way you do it. I like the way Dead & Co. does it. I like the way DSO does it. But, no one does it like Jerry and Grateful Dead and that point has already been made ad nauseam. Don't become just another hater on youtube.
I hear you, man. Not here to be a hater, but a reaction video is inherently an opinion piece, ya know? My attitude is neither fake nor nonchalant. I said I didn’t care after making a statement, because in the grand scheme, my opinion doesn’t matter. It’s up to personal taste. And Mayer absolutely had a hand in that PRS guitar. He is culpable.
"Listen to me sing it" - Boring, flat, and full of effects. John isn't Jerry, but him being different is a good thing. We don't need a wannabe Jerry signing, we need something who brings something to the table. John does. This chapter of Dead is good, stop hating and enjoy the ride.
Isn’t it so cool that as human beings we can have our own opinions about things?
I’m biased because Davvy is one of my favorite people ever, but this is the best song reaction video I’ve ever seen.
He's knows what he's talking about an he's honest.
Just my 2 cents but the world gave us 1 Jerry and quite frankly, we dont deserve another and just because someone is carrying the torch, so to speak, mind you w/ the blessing of the remaining Dead, you cant expect to appreciate the things you love about Jerry in another human. In my humble opinion, it's unfair to Mayer and Dead and Co. and in some ways, slightly disrespectful to Jerry. He stands alone and I think remembering to appreciate that while these artists pay respect to his legend, is more important then being frustrated w/ how closely Mayer's sound compares to Jerry. Again, the universe gave us 1 Jerry Garcia and that's how it was meant to be.
I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding. I’m not looking for Jerry when listening to Mayer. Independent of dead and co, I would and have felt the same way about JM. I’m not a fan of his voice. Regardless of what project he’s playing with. His guitar playing leans too bluesy for my taste. Again, regardless of project. This just comes down to personal taste. I’m all about people doing what they want to with the dead’s music and making it their own in a new form of expression. And furthermore, I’m an advocate for people liking what they like. So, if you like JM and dead and co, that’s awesome. Please listen to the music. Go see the music. This iteration just doesn’t do it for me.
@@TobyDavvy thank you for the thoughtful response and one thing I'm a firm believer is that just like how beauty is in the eye of the beholder, music rings in every ear differently in that same fashion. I might hate what someone listens to but I respect the hell out of the fact they like it. I tend to agree w/ your overall opinion in regards to Mayer, not my taste and honestly, I dont listen to him or them at all. I listen to the Grateful Dead and maybe I did misunderstand you reaction but it seemed to be pinning them against each other, at least a lil bit. I've been fortunate, I have seen just about every iteration and while this one might not be my favorite, I do appreciate it and definitely can get down to it in the right mood. For what it's worth, I enjoyed this reaction thoroughly, and would be cool to see you do reactions to other iterations...personally, give me Jimmy Herring's guitar and I dont care who's singing! And since I've got your ear, I want to thank you! My playing has progressed significantly since I found your channel! Cheers!
Great video! Bobs harmonics & scratching on this song is not it.
I saw them a few nights before this show (6/5/23)...I loved the show it was my only live dead experience.
Oteil far overshadowed Mayer.
eyes of the world 6/7/23 was great, would love to see a react for that!
I was at that show, total mind blowing! 23 minutes of sweet jamming!
Like him or hate him, and even though its NOT the grateful dead, i appreciate everything Mayer is doing to keep the "dead" legacy "alive" and i hope he continues. Same can be said for anybody playing dead. Jrad, Phil, and YOU Davy!
Much love and thank you for all you do!
The music never stops
You should do Disco Biscuits and Billy & The Kids doing Scarlet Begonias > I Know You Rider from Dear Jerry.
This. Top gun Barber fake Jerry rips.
Im so glad john doesnt play it like jerry, he plays it like john mayer.
I prefer John's voice to Jerry's on some songs. Bertha, Black muddy river, Althea, cold rain and snow all come to mind
How
Easily lol
I was at the show… this was their first song after the break, listening again brings me right back!!! ❤
Right there with you brother!
Dead & Davvy in an alternate timeline of the Dead Cinematic Universe
i honestly don’t see the big deal over the Dead Spec guitar … i think it’s sick.
That guitar sells for $5k-$6k. You can get a beautiful hand crafted guitar for that price. That’s almost Alembic territory. You could get a handmade Barlow guitar or a DeLuis for that price. Now, if it’s what you want, go for it. I just think employing a luthier is the way to go.
@@TobyDavvy it retailed originally for $2749. Resellers may be asking for that kind of scratch for it now.
@@TobyDavvy that’s what they are used , but brand new they were $2999, and made in very limited quantities.
I couldn't agree with you more Davvy. Mayer is not who I would have ever, I mean EVER, thought of when listing to The Dead growing up. If someone had bet me years ago, when Mayer was pumping out his bubblegum bulls**t pop-blues that he would front Dead & Co one day, I'd have put my house up as collateral to take that bet. Obviously I'd be homeless now. To me he sounds like he is trying to imitate Dylan's current voice, which is just bad!
***Disclaimer*** This is my opinion and I support this message. Now everyone can burn me in effigy for pooping on Mayer and Dylan. Peace :)
Bro flips out on John readjusting his guitar @11:55. Good lord.
I’ve been playing guitar for over half of my life and I’ve seen a ton of guitar players, and I have never, nor have I ever seen anyone “adjust” their guitar like that. That was some weird dramatic flare that didn’t sit well with me. If you’re into, cool. That ain’t me though, homie. Thanks for the view and engagement.
not enough comments about what the hell Bobby is doing- where you at Bobby?! It's like sitting in a chicken coop scratching records back there :P
We understand you do not like John, but when your objectivity is clouded by your dislike you become biased, and your credibility suffers. When you say no disrespect, you actually mean disrespect.
I get what your saying about John ,but he helps fill the seats and is a very good guitarist. My complaint about Dead And Co is how slow it is. But it's better then nothing. I wish Bob would do a Ratdog tour .
Looked to me like he was adjusting his guitar?? Personally it didn’t come across as a flashy jester. But what do we really know.
I do appreciate you mentioning what the heck is Bob doing with the scratchiness. Clean Bob was something I really could fully follow and study. Now I’m just wondering where it fits. But he’s Bob and can whatever he wants right.
Really stoked for Sphere and hear what new might be coming to us all.
As an old Head from late 80s and 90s i agree with Davvy and find it funny that when i say this I'm a toxic gatekeeper
Man, you picked another show I was at. (I was at the Port Chester DSO show you reviewed earlier.) The first set had the last Crazy Fingers, but I have to admit that nothing really grabbed me. When John launched into this Sugaree, it really did roar up into the stands where we were located on the first base side. That was the only Dead & Co show I caught from this run and I’m convinced that Jay Lane made all the difference in the consistency of all those shows starting with the amazing Cornell kickoff. He just locked into Bobby and everyone else in ways that was not as consistent with Billy the previous year. I love Billy, but Dead & Co benefits from Jay.
I appreciate that you were straight forward and came and out and stated that you do not like Mayer's voice and his guitar blues foundation of playing may or may not fit a specific song...that said, you are nit picking. We...or at least most of us all thought that he was NOT the guy for the slot he took. I believe we were all, mostly, proven wrong. Mayer played authentic music and it was in his own style...it wasn't DSO. They tried it with JK and Warren etc. I loved The Other Ones, The Dead, Furthur and so forth. Do you want a fake Jerry? I prefer someone who was given an opportunity and took it, outside of his comfort zone and didn't fake it. "Big Dick bull shit?! " Yo, that's who he is. And I'm not knocking JK...all I'm saying is that is that he, Mayer, was confident enough to take the music that came before him and make it his own. I believe there is something to be said about that. Just as Jerry took things from the bluegrass and folk before him. Imagine yourself being called up to play in Mayers band...how would that go? Are we emulating or appropriating? Or are we being ourselves and crushing it? "We" as in the proverbial...if you're not into the whole brevity thing. I think you just don't like Mayer and that is cool. Is this a weekday...what day is this?
While I completely respect your opinion, I think there needs to be som leniency when it comes to an artists creativity. Of course it’s not the same as what it used to be, but there’s a beauty in trying to add some of an artists own flavor to an extent.
John does a great job of honoring Jerry in his playing of this song. I listened to a lot of D&C before I dug deep into the Dead. When I listened back to old shows I was blown away by how well John does to honor Jerry’s sound on this. I think I love the D&C version because John sings it in his own way, and I think he does an amazing job of that. This is how John Mayer sings blues songs, and I think his touch fits the feel of the song very, very well.
I think this one is a song where, if you like the blues (I admittedly love it) you realize that Sugaree makes for a great blues song. I love the original more, but the song is versatile and John Mayer makes a really good version.
This is one of my favorite channels, but I think I’ve got to stop watching the D&C reactions because I know what you’re gonna say and I’m gonna disagree all the way through - which is what’s great about everyone being allowed to have their own opinion. I do appreciate that you flag parts you DO like on occasion, but I do sometimes feel like it’s similar to when one of my kids says they don’t like dinner - they’ve made their mind up before they taste it and it feels like you’ve made your mind up before listening to the song. Oh well! Love everything else on here - especially the lessons and the history you give when teaching. Would’ve never found you without John though since he started me on my Dead journey.
I love John Mayer. I love Davvey. I love Davey hating on Mayer. Mayer will be Mayer no need to tone it down. Let it loose with your cheesy vocals... Love it.
Honest criticism about Dead and Company. I agree with your sum up.
As for you, amazing guitar player, style is unique improv very good. The only small critique of you is vocally you sometime over emphasize a syllable here and there. Not annoying like Mayer though.
Love to see you do how to play vids on some non Dead stuff. Thank you, I'm one of those 'Touch' era DeadHeads so what the bleep to I know?
for me the difference is w/jm it 's about where he is gonna go as opposed to where the band is gonna go-he needs to listen to bob
micky needs a steal your face on the palms of his receiver gloves
john mayer is a great guitar player and uber talented but i cant handle his voice and the way he sings jerry parts
My man you are an emotional roller coaster on this one! I had a great time.
I think John is a great addition to the band. Just out of curiosity (and no hate) who would you have chosen to fill those very very large shoes if you had a say?
I think Neal Casal would have done a fantastic job.
Well first...Sugaree is a blues song. You're gonna hear some blues riffs. It can't all be 16th notes Davvy (if you know what I mean). A little phrasing, pause, and the most underrated musical note in music, the rest, is sometimes most appropriate. A little space between thoughts works... JM is also gonna sing to his ability, just like anyone would. Bob chose him for a reason. Reach. Like it or not, Mayer drew lots of folks into the music which benefits ANYONE making a living off this music. I'll wager at least 20% of your audience stems from people that came from DnC. Remember...If you get confused listen to the music play.
Sugaree is a blues song?!??!?!? No way! I had no idea.
@@TobyDavvy I'm gonna tip you $25 and make you play "your body is a wonderland"...
@@dustylense😂😂😂
I’ll say of all the songs I’ve heard Dead and Co play, I think Sugaree is where John adds his most cheesy embellishments by far. In other words if that’s the main reason you don’t really fuck with the D&C vibe, then this is probably the worst song to go by. I say that while respecting the reason you gave for thinking Sugaree is the perfect song to go by. I just don’t find him going nearly this “extra” on about any other Dead performance.
I hear you. Any song in particular you would suggest?
ruclips.net/user/liveA38VlykjMi8?si=LHQczBNl1TQ9EEhL
Here’s a random version of Here Comes Sunshine. The jam on this is much more chill so he keeps the goofy stuff under control. Also not overtly bluesy. Picked this one since he sings it, considering Bob sings majority of D&C stuff. Actual song starts about 23 min mark of vid.
IMO the 2023 Saratoga Performing arts Sugaree was the best of the tour. lights out on fire both days for those shows. Give it a spin Mr davvvvyy
Can We also maybe get a money money how to play sometime soon ?
Lay lane is so much better than Bill lmfao
Could you please do a video lesson on High Time?🙏
This was the hottest sugaree of the tour
really want to see davvy react to a dead cover band that he actually digs
Totally agree with your take on JM.
If I hear one more goddamn BB King lick…
I hear a lot more Jerry in his playing than last reacts. Only time I’ve listened to dead and co was the reacts videos 😂
Amen!!!
YES ANOTHER REACTS!!
Motet funk is dead🎉🎉
Love that show. I will for sure do one on this.
Michael P - OMG he went to the major 8 and a half there, sorry Maj-8.5 flat. Wow the emotion. Listen folks, this is the real deal. (Every video he does).
Davvy - Wtf, cmon, not cool, I just don’t understand the decision there. You can like it, it’s not for me though. Guy sounds like he’s using the your body is a wonderland vocal voicing on sugeree.
The world needs you Davvy. Please don’t change. Also, let’s produce a movie or pilot together.
I was at this show and I thought John nailed it. But I always wanted Jerry to be more bluesy. I saw Jerry many times and honestly, in the '80's and '90's it was hit it miss alot if he was on the junk. Let's be honest, the culture is to milk this Deadn thing forever. RIP Bill Walton. I can't John's solo music, but I really like when he plays with Dead and Co. Also, if anyone is missed, it's Phil. But people don't climb on Oteil because he's so damn lovable
Do a Terrapin Flyer react!!
Thanks!
Dude... thank you SO much. You're a breath of psychological fresh air.
The thing that folks don’t get is the Dead really mean something to a lot of people. Mayer just doesn't really fit. Why would he? It's not remotely his wheel house.
Rock on. Stay honest and critical.
I’m a fan of John Mayer, I’m essentially a blues guy but I hate Dead & company. Just doesn’t fit. I also think that two solo guitarists would help. Could you imagine Philip Sayce trading solos with Trey Anastasio over Sugeree… The Gods would weep…
I’ve seen D&C *a lot*, which is whatever, but the thing I could never shake is that Mayer almost never had a memorable moment. There were a few - and I mean a couple of seconds - on the last 2 tours where he turned my head for a second, but I basically never said to myself, “Holy shit! That was epic; we are going to be listening to that for the next 20 years + wondering how he got there and did that!”. That’s a Jerry thing + handful of jazz musicians, and this band was a jazz band utilizing the rock idiom, more or less. (Though taking inspiration from many different musical languages).
It’s absolutely foolish to compare them, so this is not Mayer specific, and at the same time, it’s specific to anybody who has ever endeavored to play the Jerry role in this music (only musically), but it always seemed as though he was saying something + it was memorable.
I think you’re one of the best players of this music in the country, including Mayer, and that’s not bullshit. He thinks *way* too much, though I think it’s because he’s learning, which is dope, but it doesn’t translate live. He has no story to tell + he’s not a psychedelic person, and that makes a difference, where the non-psychedelic people get it (or like it) or not.
I really like your playing, and there’s nothing wrong with this, but I do think you tend to fill the spaces you’re given with too many notes. That may be because you’re naturally better than the people you play with or something, but it can be too much.
Other than Kimock - who we all know Jerry said was the next in line, for whatever’s that worth - the dude who plays the Jerry role in DeadEye from Austin gets it the most. He’s smart, thoughtful, patient, and can absolutely rip, and it’s a crime that he or Kimock aren’t Mayer.
I don’t really care that Mayer went to a prestigious musical school, or that he had some kind of revelation in the last 10 years listening to what is probably the best “Althea” (5/16/80, Nassau); Bobby wanted to do the thing, and he found somebody competent to do it, not necessarily somebody who had the right vibe. He’s way too removed from the general public to be able to access the kind of people who could really do it.
And there’s a deeper thing there, right? Bobby’s literal social exposure at this point is these cracker-ass blues-based dudes who are pretty famous; he doesn’t have much else, so the music will suffer from his inability to actually dig into who the real people are that carrying the music forward. Mayer ain’t that dude, but Rick Rubin’s poser ass can introduce them, and there you go. They live in a diff world + they’re all *way* outta touch. No judgement, just is what it is in this day and age.
Who knows: we all have our stupid take on this amorphous thing, but I think you’re way up there *WAY* up there, but you need to stop playing so many goddamn notes.
⚡️💀⚡️
I only saw one live GD show in 95. Jerry's voice was terrible. Doesn't mean I didn't have a great time. I've seen Dead & Company three times now and John did a much better job on the vocals than Jerry did that at that one particularly show. but give me Jerry in his prime any day.
You’re 100% right Davvy about John’s voice. It bothers me too. I mean he does have a classically better voice than yours but the way he uses it is just annoying. Too much airiness to it. Breathy. And overdoing it. But I got to say as someone who didn’t like his guitar either for a loooong time I think in the past two years I enjoy his guitar player finally and think it finally sounds good. I think he takes more risk and goes after it. While before he played it safe. I’m surprised how many like his voice. I thought it was actually a pretty common opinion. But I guess not. Voices are a tricky thing. Like Brent. So many people don’t like his voice at all. I don’t love it but I can enjoy it in different songs. And love his playing a ton.
Oteil just reminds me how important Phil is .. never impressed me it’s like background bass idk .. and yea wtf is that hand shit mayer was doin.. I mean the voice is bad enough.. ai yai yai
Was at 6/9/23 show and was amazing, but the 6/25/22 Sugaree is so much better played!
Can we get a react of “Greatest Story Ever Told” with Weir and Childers?
Damn dude, I liked your solos way better than JM! Gotta peep some other vids!
Mayer did never acid. This is why he doesn't get "it".
You don’t think he has been dosed?? After playing with the band for this long and all these different members and shows we should know that that is bound to happen especially him being the front of it all
So you’re saying you think Bobby, in his late 70s, is still dosing people at Dead N Co shows against their will? Like it’s ‘69 with a bunch of playboy bunnies. Is that what you’re telling me?
Bro I 100% feel you at that 18:35 mark, believe me especially with that eyebrow raise I knew for sure I was connected with you on a deep deep level.
Davvy, you’re the man, but I find it hard to believe if you went to a dead and co show that you wouldn’t feel the love. Even with your distaste of Mayer I think you would still be able to enjoy the magic that resides at dead shows. Even you can admit there’s a difference between a live recording and being present at the show. Thanks for all you do for deadhead guitarists, getting better at my inversions daily👍🏼
We need to see who you like more: Mayer doing dead songs or Rick Mitarotonda from Goose doing dead songs. He played with Bobby and the boys at the Dead Ahead festevile recently. There should be some good quality RUclips videos from the night. His solo in Scarlet was great.
You gotta give eyes of the world from 2023 a try. STL or Boulder
Davvy pls react to Bertha dead and co red rocks 10/20/21 it’s on RUclips
I was there! I agree with a lot of what u say, but I think john is a beast of guitar player and it was a fantastic concert. Overall I see it more as just a cool opportunity to see the band in some form as a younger a deadhead and experience in some fashion what a large scale dead crowd wouldve been like. Saw them 3 times and it was a blast.
Early gang
It’s a different vibe but still unique and evolving. Still licorice flavored!
john seems to sing bluesy from the belly instead of rocky from the chest, for me jerrys kinda smooth but kind of at the edge of break up singing just fits perfect in my ear and he matched it perfect with his tone and phrasing... you cant beat jerry in his music i guess. :'D
Davvy is my favorite, vocal is a little high in the mix at times- but you’re truly the best, mush love!!
Do a reaction to dead and co with Dave Matthews doing all along the watchtower lol your head might explode
Once again asking to please do a reacts of Billy Strings playing the Dead
8:45 Davvy straight up punching air in his mind. "that should be me, man!" lol. So funny watching all the hate flow.... meanwhile the people at the actual show are loving every second of it.
I don’t think it should be me. I enjoy what I get to do.
You trying to be nice 😂😂 I like Dead and Co shows but never sit around and listen to them. It makes me uncomfortable when he plays like Jerry. His greedy hands on those notes.
You should phrase that, when he tries to play like Jerry. 😅
14:10 It’s always nice to see a pro slip up and forget where he is for a minute. 😂
Let’s just say it… we need MORE COWBELLLLLLL!!!!
John Mayers career began with corporate souless music. Seriously wack shit.....then he is given the opportunity to see, explore, experience....what the Grateful Dead is....and unfortunately in my opinion, HE DID NOT PASS THE ACID TEST...
Now his handler's have finagled his words ( that someone else wrote) to be the forward in the unrealesd Robert Hunter material?!?!? That would be like Justin Bieber writing the forward for unreleased James Joyce Material....
I guess I'm bitter, old, and spun....but I just feel pissed on by Mayers involvement....he's blatantly only a part of it for strategic demographics, Custies have always had the money! Sometimes Custies (rarely) become FAMILY
I don’t think you’re in the minority 😉
Howdy Daavy, I’m another fan of you and your work. A couple of considerations, one is to ease up on the hate speech. I’m not a Mayer fan, nor Clapton, and a few dozen other players that fill stadiums, but hey, words matter. We can not vibe with their thing and we can do it in a way that allows room for all that music.
The second consideration is for you to react to some or all of the three sets that Zero played in Santa Cruz 8/9/95. Just days after Jerry died. Steve takes a moment in set two before playing Afro Blue to share and express his feelings.
The show is stunning. Jerry called Steve his favorite undiscovered guitar player. It’s high time you discovered him too!
Fun fact, lyrics by Robt. Hunter whose nephew is singing. Martin Fierro on sax will sound familiar to Legion of Mary fans.
ruclips.net/video/CCax9_4n9-4/видео.htmlsi=vJrTWQE6_i6AHs90
I don’t believe anything I said could be considered hate speech. That’s a pretty extreme jump from me saying I’m not a fan of his voice, or his blues licks, or certain embellishments that other musicians do as well. I’m entitled to my opinion. Just as you are. Just because I give my opinion doesn’t mean I’m stating it as fact. It’s subjective. And I’m well aware of Kimock, but I appreciate your input.
@@TobyDavvyHowdy Davvy! Thanks for responding. As far as opinions go, rock on! On this we can agree. Mayer doesn't do it for me either.
To be clear, when I mention 'hate speech', we are a far freakin cry from dawning kaki's and goosestepping around the square shouting inane irreverent obscenities. No man, this is a tiny thing a small moment in time, check out at the 12min mark: ruclips.net/video/Tyw0sJKdrIU/видео.htmlsi=VaM0bLgLryyY1lmu&t=715
And full transparency, upon re-watching it I see that it is the guitar adjustment that galls you. Originally I thought you were going on about his playing.
Anyway, it's a nothing burger, loving what you do here. Keep it up.
@@TobyDavvy Also, sorry if that came off wrong in the comments. In my head it was an effort at light hearted humor pointing at a thing. Anyway, gauging by your response I may have offended. Again sorry about that.
That is in fact, the shit i don’t like.
My favorite is 6/1/23 sugaree
✌️💀
Maybe you just had to be there
Do one of fare thee well with Trey 😂
I just watched you “let’s read comments video” and decided to check out what caused all the fuss in your comments. Is it possible that you are misconstruing the “big dick blues man” guitar adjusting based on your preconceived notions about Mayer? What I see when he does that is not someone flexing on the music like “look how good I am”, but someone who is moved by the music and excited. Maybe I’m a Mayer apologist, or maybe I’m someone who has experienced similar emotions while playing my guitar and feeling moved. Your view seems very cynical toward John as if he’s m*lesting the music for his own gratification. He’s a fan of the music and if he feels moved by it why should we judge or attempt to construct a motive without knowing him? Why not approach it with an open mind and the benefit of the doubt?
Thanks for throwing your opinion in the ring
@@TobyDavvy A dismissive flippant response. Always a sign of an open mind.
I’m not really sure what you’re after here, man. I’ve pretty much said what I need to say in both videos. It seems like you’re the one that has an issue with others having different views on things. So, enjoy your day.
Davey I love your vids but we will never agree on this, dead & co are carrying the torch for this beautiful music & doing it amazingly. The vibes are always immaculate at a show as well.
Totally agree with you most of the time. Too bluesy for my tastes. Seen Dead & Co. 5 times in the last 6 years. And John is getting better and better each time around. Name another virtuoso guitarist that could play like that and SING. Pretty hard to find that. His singing may not align with your tastes, but he is a very good singer.
Why don’t you just react to a dead recording instead of shitting on dead and co for 20 minutes
Why don’t you watch different kinds of videos instead of something that will obviously trigger you. Buck up, kiddo. It’s a RUclips video.
@@TobyDavvy I didn’t think a dead and co reaction video was something that’d “obviously trigger me”. You’ve taught me a ton of dead songs and I thought your reaction to this type of stuff would be interesting, and it was. I just hope at some point we get to see you react to some Grateful Dead stuff because I think it’d be a lot cooler to see you watch and react to Jerry playing sugaree than you disliking john. PS I agree with your stance on dead and co vs Grateful Dead
You gotta check out a help/slip/franks from this tour! They’re such a better showcase of how John can play on a dead tune imo
Davvy >>> Mayer
No question.
