- So, this show was really good, but in this one particular part, John breaks down and gets really sentimental for a moment. He talks about how he's been selfish for his whole life and starts to cry. Fast forward to 3:57 and that's where it starts. I recorded this concert on the FlipCam and just wanted to show people what happened during his concert. I do not own the rights to this music and I am not trying to be compensated for this video.
Oh wow he actually accomplished what he said during the speech. Fucking legend.
Christopher Ordonez totally
"My name is John Mayer, and I'm gonna figure that out."
You already have
Yeah,....let me get back to you....
Ended it with something clever again lol.
John Mayer you had to come to grips with the fame and you will be just fine. Never forget to respect the feelings of others.
talent + emotions = killer guitar solo
i can see his soul being free again after tearing up and starting the solo
Simona Beetlebum Nothing like a good cry! Makes you feel reborn!
I don't know how anybody can listen to John Mayer's music & not believe there is a vulnerable & caring person there.
You took a GIANT step forward here John. Growing up takes some of us longer, but you finally made it. No matter
the mistake, if you learn from it, then it was worth making. Hope you get that girl back someday that you can't seem
to forget. She obviously hasn't gotten over you either. I think this time you'd be ready for each other. Read between the lines.
cathy garza He's a racist!
Jay Hi5 not true. You don’t have to be sexually attracted to every race. It’s very common to not be.
However, He shouldn’t have said that. It was in poor taste.
@@jayhi5479 hes not racist he just makes racist jokes take a joke
Doesn't get more real than the back up singers wiping their tears for his apology.
+chucho1985 Yup. Came across this again, and the two things I'll never forget about this were his sincerity - he actually knows what he did wrong, and wants to work on it. It may be the most genuine celebrity apology I've ever heard. And it's no coincidence it's coming from a songwriter who's job it is to be introspective.
And Kenna(?) grabbing Melanies(?) hand after what's said at 6:31. That's it. That's something TMZ can't cover.
Because he said EXACTLY what they were feeling. Clearly they've talked about that Playboy interview. He fucked up, said some hurtful shit in an attempt to be an edge-lord like so many young men do. And it had to have hit close to home with the black women sharing the stage with him. There was alot said in that hand hold.
Anyways. Point is - that's after the controversy was done, the vultures got their kill, and moved on. That tiny little moment captured on some fans shaky I-Phone camera holds more meaning than all the ink and lip service spent covering this "controversy" that week. It's why the internet continues to be more quietly profound in ways lamestream media could never be.
+Danny McCaffrey now he knows who his real friends are...
Well said, my friend.
@@MattFoleysGhost what exactly was he apologizing for ?
a lot of people are trying to cancel him again but he’s genuinely already apologized and owned up to his mistakes. he’s changed so much as a person and there’s no reason to keep bringing up everything he’s done wrong. it’s very obvious that fame got to his head and made him believe he was on top of the world, but he’s sincerely acknowledged his faults and took the time to step back and reflect on himself. his attempt to be charming and clever got the best of him but he admitted to his wrongdoings and i respect him for it
why are they trying to cancel him nowdays?.. and who? I didnt notice that..
@@belabiester7442
I don't think it's anything recent. JM's a celebrity punching bag for writers who want to gain a few clicks. They pick and choose a douchebag thing he did in the past then frame it as a recent development, absolutely disregarding the progress he has made into becoming a much better person than he was before.
It also doesn't help that a big proportion of Taylor Swift fans are still currently rabidly holding deep grudges against JM for his relationship with her 10 years ago. I mean, look at the comments section of his first and second Tik Tok posts.
@@belabiester7442 no one's trying to cancel him. my guy smoked a really green blunt.
@@IsThisRain well...it's post 2020 internet...everyone's trying to cancel people nowadays
@@matthiasfoo1217🤣🤣🤣🤣 No
He has GOT the be one of the most inspiring people I know. Love this man, not only because of his positive things, but his negative ones too. At the end of the day, the negative ones teach you how to live your live to the fullest.
Casper van Helvoirt The fact that he isn’t perfect is the reason why I relate to him so much
“At the end of the day,the negative ones tech you how to live your life to the fullest” I love this sentence, thks👍
The term womanizer is far from whatever worst things he had ever done. In defending himself, he might have slipped a wrong step
that solo right after! you can feel what he feels!
his guitar cries with him..
❤❤❤❤❤
It's very easy judge people in the age of the internet. Everyone believes that have the right to judge and crucify all in every circunstance without see yourself. Everyone has the right to be wrong and make mistakes, but not even all have the humbling to admit. John is the reason that I've started to play guitar and his music is making company to my soul every single day. More Love, More Soul and More Music Mr. Mayer.
Your music changed my life and I'm forever grateful.
I agree with every word you've said.
Daniel Frizon shhhhh don't make excuses for him.. he's paid his dues & he's a great great player. Ppl expect bloodsport these days over a very human error. Fuck em. Mayer will survive & be better
By God, he figured it out. Huge inspiration. It takes a true humble heart to apologize to others and to seek your truth. Absolutely love JM.
It's 2017 so many albums later. Think he found himself now. We all need to grow
This was my FIRST TIME to see Johnny in concert, I took my son and remember this night so well :-)
Carrie Thomas so jealous! That apology was so sincere, the man cried and made his guitar sound like it was crying after. Which it didn’t have the same sound before the apology if you notice.
No one cares
Mario Alvarez I care, shut the fuck up Mario lol
And his guitar gently weeps alongside him !
That guitar solo made me cry. God damn, that is pure raw emotion.
I believe this is the moment where he truly decided to become a better person. I never hated him. I've always loved him and stood up for him but I couldnt help but understand where people were coming from when they called him a horrible person. But I believe he's changed. And you caught it on camera. Thank you
He's growing into who he's meant to be right before our eyes- amazing to witness it and I'm a life long fan! Love your music JM!
He needed the Grateful Dead!! I love the 180 this man has done, never thought I'd call myself a fan, happy to say that I am :)
I'll never know what makes this man, with all the love that his heart can stand, dream of ways to throw it all away
There's pain in every note of Gravity
I think everyone in the world is obligated to watch this at least one time. A lot of people need to hear it. I did. And it quite literally turned my life around.
A lot of this people leaving negative comments need to access their own lives before they Judge somebody else's.
The "scandal" always overshadows the aftermath, unfortunately. Because for one rare moment, a public figure truly learned their lesson about what they were doing wrong. That's rare, and he'll never really get the credit he deserves for that because so many people get their apologies wrong. This isn't just going through the motions, he really gets it - being clever all the time is exhausting, and immature. It takes guts to apologize in front of thousands.
I love this guy.
I think the same, this fucking guy is amazing!!
Well, I don't know much about John Mayer or what he's been selfish or egotistical about BUT at least he is man enough to realize and admit his mistakes. Obviously he is smart enough to know when he messes up, unlike 80 percent of people in the United States. Also, why does everyone care so much about who celebrities are dating or having sex with? That's their business and what they do for or to each other is also their business. Not to mention, it isn't like everyone else in the world is perfect and only celebrities lie, cheat, and manipulate. Keep it real people...
Bumble B Well, more power to them if they are making money, I guess... But I was really referring to those who don't butt into other people's lives for a living. Why does everyone really care that much like they know these people personally? Have you ever read comments under Rihanna or Beyonce's pictures? There are some sick individuals in the world and speak and act like they just partied with these celebrities last week. Don't get me wrong, I know that if someone is famous they expect to be followed and photographed, etc... But I just do not understand why people (by people I mean fans and such) care SO MUCH about their personal lives. You know?
Exactly! It really is sad.
Rebecca Maness The one of reasons why I love john so much is like you have said, Rebecca. Maybe he went wrong but he admit it, he knew n than he tried to be a good person for the day after. That's makes John became a real human. Love John so much many 💛
You are a very smart and a very brilliant person Rebecca. It shows depth in your thinking that you are able to realize that. People love to hold people accountable but would never hold themselves accountable for similar actions. And dont know when to stay in their own lane. They think there social status gives them power and control to do things and for it to be justified due to their status where it wouldnt be for someone of another status.
Example
A mother treats her son like garbage even though he has done nothing to warrant that mode of treatment. Then the mother expects to be treated with respect (but more borderline loyalty which implies she wants someone that will support her even if she does wrong). But if she knew how fairness worked she should expect the same treatment she dishes out.
And the son either refrains from doing the same thing she does to him and allows her to build stubborness around her actions to where she never sees her errors, or does something and gets kicked out the house or gets into an altercation he never cared to be in and doesnt deserve to be in.
Ideally a mother has higher status than a son. So if the mothers reasoning is always and only "im your mother" and further says "its not what you said its how you said it" thats an example of people using their status to defend their wrong doing and neglect the reasoning of the person of lower status where they feel subconciously that person may have a point. Instead of acknowledging what they do as wrong. They pin the lower status as wrong by claiming that person is being disrespectful or somrthing stupid and nonsensical.
People think as spectators (another status example) since its them that has control of either noticing or neglecting someones brilliance, that once the star does something noticeably wrong they can simply talk about them negatively and defame them. Because at the end they do control a persons worth because without them he is not a star he is just an over looked talent.
People want control of everyone and every thing else outside of themselves so bad it makes no sense. Yet the one thing they dont have is self control. Its pathetic to me.
The solution is so hard because it requires for the people who dont think logically to realize they are the problem. The people who generalize and try to stick with the status quo. Hide in their status because of how easy it is. The people who spend every second of their day calling out other people for making excuses like them calling out excuses matters or makes anything better (it doesnt ... calling excuses is a way to neglect reason which implies that you the person calling excuses isnt a reasonable person.). The people who spend their lives talking behind peoples back instead of in their faces. The people who love to worry about other peoples mistakes but get defensive when someone genuinely notices something they could improve on but tell themselves they are incapable of getting better at task because they think acquiring skill is god given and not something people work for.
Theres a lot more to it but if you have any of these traits you are the problem that exist in society. Realizing these things are problematic is first step to a better future.
We gotta start treating each other equally right and respecting differences we may have. And not thinking we habe tp be kudge and jury dor others mistakes all the time.
Society now a days is molded to condon the main people causing a problem in it. The main people who love to call people crazy for introducing complex ideas are the ones that are crazy and making life worse. Consider every idea even if it doesnt align with what you know. Use logic and reason to figure things out not just your memory and credibility in sources online or in text books.
Lastly people think being smart is remembering everything and is knowing everything. But being smart is having the capability to solve problems that others cant.
Einsteins and newtons and others solved problems and managed to prove them to a stubborn society of people. That led to a lot of valid fundemental concepts in our school systems for us to learn.
Those guys are smart ... not the people who memorize formulas and pass their classes with straight A's by memory only but after the course never truly understood the course material. And only did work to get by and get a job and suck at their job.
Those people just seem smart because they have things to show for what they have accomplished. And a simple minded person only sees things for how they seem. But the main part of life to learn is that things go beyond what they seem almost all the time (complex minded people know this).
Looks can be decieving. In a relationship a lot more people opt for the person who looks good not the person who is good. But expect that they can control and change the good looking person to be the person they want them to be which never works. If the person or if you arent reasonable theres no chance your relationship will work because there will never be a point you 2 reach a reasonable understanding with each other.
*no more of this rant i just hope people get it*
@@JakobMan426 look at my message above, i agree with you completely. What i typed is long but i hope you get it i think you would more than most i have faith. Spread the word if you get what im saying if not sorry for typing that much lol.
Wow he really broke down when he played the lead at the end. Look at his face! We will never know the pressures of fame like John Mayer does. That's for sure. Mad props.
You can hear his emotion through his guitar...
I forgive you John Mayer. In fact I didn't really care at all. Because I knew that you're a better person than what others said. I was always inspired by your songs and my life evolved around your songs. Your music was my life story. Your music was my guiding light. Thank you so much. Keep playing your guitar and keep singing
Candid and offbeat at times, but this guy is a true artist. In a world full of ways for us to isolate ourselves, it's very humbling to see someone as famous as he is, be so honest about his mistakes. It took guts to say what he said. Real talk.
I LOVE this man. He is so not a douchebag, or a creep (and I don't think he's racist either). He is so hard on himself - which is so very admirable. More people need to be this thoughtful and introspective.
This is such a heartfelt and transparent speech. I guess time and growth is a funny thing, though, because he is back in the media game, via social networking. What's the difference between being silly and nonsensical and being "clever"? My heart just ripped wide open for him that night.
I love this guy! He’s a good man. He’s always so honest about everything. He keeps writing songs from the heart and stays true to what he believes. He made a mistake but he was humble enough to admit and truly apologize. I’m a fan! 👏🏼👏🏼
Touching vulnerability John. Brave and now cleansed.
This is still the coolest light show I've seen.
"My name is John Mayer, and I'm gonna figure that out." He truly did.
Im actually glad he went through this. Every experience if you pay attention will cause growth and better understanding.
If it will bring you to tears in front of a huge audience, and he could still eloquently verbalize it, it doesn't get much more in your face than that. Long after this occurred, and several albums later, I would say he learned a helluva lot. The proof is in how he lives his life now. He has attained being a grown up. I love all the music and the guitar emotion. Forever listening
True to his word....he figured it out. He worked out what was important because it meant that much to him...his music..his family and friends ..his self.
It's the learning from our mistakes and actually doing something about it that creates self love and respect from others. I have nothing but respect for John Mayer and his music.
It is amazing, how the audience has a sense for Steve Jordan being such a legend.
And John's guitar tone: this is unbelievable.
This man has not only opened new genre of music in which I now love, he has also made me realize my dream in life and helped me pursue it. Without him in this world I would still be wondering on what to do in my life. Now I know thanks to him. So those of you who make fun of him, ridicule him, insult him, you are doing the same thing to me as well. This man is not only an inspiration to me. But, a part of me spiritually in which i can truly express myself.
I guess sadness brings the best out of some people....:) Keep going John....love your music..
Everyone has a breakdown. But, to have one in front of all of these people. And be true to all of them. That's one good man right there.
So good. So damn good.
His wide color of vocabulary and his way to come up with a heartfelt speech on the spot show just the brink of the intelligence he has. That just shows that even an extremely bright man can say stupid things sometimes and do stupid actions. Everyone has done both things more than once in your life. If you claim you haven't you aren't mature enough to admit it like he just did. I started becoming a true fan of his two years ago. After all of the relationships and that racist remark.
One on the most talented musicians I've ever known... Haters gonna hate..
I love that that was the setting for his biggest apology regarding this topic. Not a big PR move or anything, just a guy owning up to his mistakes and trying to get better. And he’s also one of the rare people who actually did what he said here and figured it out.
For anyone who is a john mayer fan, we know he has a good heart, and at the same time he over analyses things so much that he ends up screwing things up BAD, but its only human nature to make mistakes, I think the hardest thing for him will be to forgive himself, but it would be nice if black people who have been offended by his words, could rise up and be so brave to forgive this man, forgiveness exists only because us human make mistakes, so give this guy a chance, he is a flawed human being
I love John Mayer. I think the kind of fame that he has, his life is slapped down before us, like something to be butchered, is the hardest thing in the world for anyone to handle. One day everyone is in love with him; the next they condemn him...God knows, I couldn't handle it. So, it's none of our business, his life. He's working it out. Meanwhile, I am blessed to be able to listen to his passion as I paint in my studio, and be inspired by it. Thank you, John.
I'm guessing his band's reaction to that article was not good. Glad they said something. Made him wake up and self assess.
Yeap. It's good that he has a great support system
John if you read this, don't let anyone ever being you down. Always remember that you have changed peoples' lives and for the better
This makes me cry every time I watch it. Poor John. Its the part where he says 'a possible future grown up' - I love you John. I'll always stand by you. And you are a grown up. You're an idol and one of the greatest musicians of our time.
Thats one heck of a legend. Am so glad am alive during his life-time.
The limelight , isn't always what it appears to be , and can be an unforgiving place to be , keep us all where the light is !
It's so heartwarming to see his "humbleness" with all of us that love him SOOO much!! It's not easy - the song "Vultures" is what he feels - Love you John, know that you bring us all so much joy!
holy shit that solo so much soul..amazing video in every possible way...a true artist...
The irony of the spotlights on him as he sings keep me where the light is!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, beautiful Testimony. Beautiful music. Beautiful man. And nice looking too.
This is so sincere and heartfelt, it made me cry too
unbelievable. I'd never thought that he would cry at all, and definetely not on stage. Proves to me that, although we might look different, we're still human.
The musicians I favorite are the ones that feel thier music and are able to touch you with it and/or with the lyrics. John Mayer is one of the BEST!!!
I knew it. Something told me John was a good guy, but to pray for him. I'm glad I listened to that voice.
fame is notorious for taking the souls of so many music legends. but this concretes my belief that it will never take mayer's. long live music.
John, You are a human being. You are very brave for admiting you were wrong. Thats Why? I consider you a inspiration, musically an as a role model:) Love you John.
John Mayer is a great person and a great musician! I love him!
Its his honesty to us, fans, that makes us stick with him till the day he stops making music. Im honored to be a fan of this man's work an of him as a person
just shows no matter who u are or what u do true artists cant be anything but themselves. sometimes u gotta get back to that first love. the whole reason u started in the first place. i remember this. wish i could have been there. glad i saw this again today.
Glad I came across this video because I was a huge fan of his at one point. I absolutely love his music but couldn't listen to it after his rants to the media.
It's nice to see a soft, emotional side to the "recovering ego addict"... Mr Mayer.
I commend him and may even download a few songs now.
Thank you for sharing this!
I love this.. It's so amazing when a man comes to terms with the truth and shows remorse... It makes all the hurt fade away... and its worth it..
Says the most inspirational thing ever and then continues to about put on a master class on the guitar
6:31
Listen to what John's saying. But watch the back up singers closely.
That moment, captured on some fans shaky I-Phone, says more about this "controversy" than anything else combined.
What is it?
We can't even see anything dude
Lost Sol right 😂
@@Joshkindle They start to hold hands and wipe their tears.
I am just an average woman, not known, not famous, not rich, and i have been so much hurt all my life for being beautiful, polite, well dressed, and now I´m 57 and i can´t imagine what´s like to be like him. PEOPLE ARE JEALOUS OF EVERYTING! let them go John Mayer, you deserve better than that. Love your songs and like you without knowing and never will. Thank you for your music. You are the best! We use to say in my counry that the while dogs bark the caravan passes by...
I believe john mayer has figured it out .. The truth is the way out john mayer was captivated and so truthful love you john mayer then and loving u now. I had to take a nap so that leaves so you could really figure it all out haha but I'm back in the ring to take another swing lol
In the quest of being clever is very selfish... But honesty is the most important thing you could have done or said John Mayer honesty is purity💜💜💜 and purity is sacred gravity stay the hell away from me , but wanting more is going to bring me to my knees you got that right John 💖 💙 💖 💙 💖 💙
i have to say this is his transition from POP to HIS OWN MUSIC...... love this guy... we'll always b der for u JOHN..... play ur guitar and give us real music
12yrs ago Wow. It's sure flying by.
I love this Song... 🌎 ✌👀🌸💙🐩
Now I just had a Ugly Cry.💜💙💚💛👍👌🌸👀 just be yourself.
The test of time has proven John Mayer is golden. He was golden then. He's golden now. He's golden forever. Even his errors work out for the good of everyone. I love it. I love him
Wow I have never ever known a celebrity to admit to mistreating others because of the fame and fortune and thinks he's above schemes, and not respecting his love ones feeling. Great job John Mayer an amazing adult and man you are❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 MUCH RESPECT!
This is beautiful - ive seen it before and it makes me weep
Although people say what they say about john he brought out a similar emotion from me with the power of music and that's enough for me
I study music and blues is my passion. When I listen to music I can distinguish musical complexity and originality. And that´s basically what I do everytime i listen to music. I hear the guitar above everything else, guitar is my passion. I love Pat Metheny, Scofield, Robben Ford and all the blues Greats, and JM is personally my favourit and my biggest influence in my guitar playing, and that´s it. MUSICALLY he is great man whether you want to agree or not.
Kind of interesting that this happening with the interviews and his realisation basicly created "born and raised" witch is my all time favurite record done by any artist. Real feelings create real art. Thank you for translating your feelings so efficiantly to your songwriting and your guitar, John.
I almost cried with him. That was a big step right there and I'm glad he made it. God bless him and you guys too :)
Watching this after his Sob Rock album
Me too! And still love him dearly
This man has grown so much. It’s inspirational. He did what he set out to do. I am super glad I found his music! Keep slaying John
I've always loved his music, I have every single one of his albums. But whenever I would mention John, people would say "but he's such a jerk." I guess not really anymore. If you listen to his new album, it's filled with so much remorse, it's beautiful. It feels better to support his music knowing that's he's become a much better person. He's grown up. Watch his interview with Ellen deGeneres, you can see his pain.
Just a beautiful story, his life is. Way to go, John.
Brilliant guy, brilliant musician.
"my name is john mayer and im gonna figure that out." theres some power to the words this guy is saying here. good lord
as a black guy, i really didnt take that interview to hard. i knew how he meant it when he said it. im still a huge fan. much love johnny boy.
I love this guy. I don't care what people say.
We are all selfish as we grow, to some aspect.....when you OWN your bull shit you have done....your real!! John is amazing ...today as I listen to his newest album, I enjoy his realism
music is emotion! thats why you are listening to it.
the best heart felt gravity solo i have ever heard
Upon watching this…however many times I have and still do, I just want to go back in time and give him a hug. Not like a “there, there” hug, but like…just a huge bear hug.
That was the start of a baptism when he entered into that solo. You could feel the self cleanse. Incredible moment that I’m sure he will never forget.
His early Pop success gave him a name. He used that success and fan base to go out and play and record anything he wants. He's a better person for having made his mistakes. He's crazy talented, so he will persevere. His "Pop" music wasn't bad, or he wouldn't have ever made it this far.
Simply put, I love this guy and his music
thus begun the transition into born and raised!!! what an awesome moment :')
he's amazing. i'm on his side, always, because.. i don't know, it's John! :) He's real, authentic. My favourite musician. And his talent is bigger than "stuff", everyone makes mistakes. He has done that, but now he's happy and I love see him like that :) i want a concert soooon!
He's a legend an icon I'm so grateful for him
He is such a great guy ... John Mayer is my mentor for guitar playing
I was at a concert in N.Charleston SC and he actually said all of this. Awesome🔥♥️
I love you John ❤️
