John Mayer

[sarah**]

He is playing in Toronto on November 19th. Tickets go on sale this Saturday for $25.50 which is a good price but I can't decide if I wanna go or not. I like his music but it's general admission and I dunno if I will like that kinda show.

Input please

[Sweet One]

You like John Mayer, Sweety?? I guess he's alright, but i haven't taken a close enough listen to his stuff?? Any songs that are really good??

Anyways, why don't you like the GA type shows??


Sweet :littleangel: (not)

[lucyinthesky]

"No Such Thing" drives me insane. :D

But if you like him, you should go to the concert. $25.50's a really good deal!

Bryana

[Sweet One]

hey!! everyone who posted so far is from T.O!!! Yay!! Sorry, but lately the littlest things amuse me!!!

Sweet :wink:

[sarah**]

Well I have never been to a general admission show and I would assume that it can get squishy, and I get claustrophobic at times so that's why I am hesitant.
And I like him a lot. I think all of his songs are good, it's very mellow. I think if you don't like No Such Thing than you won't like his stuff that much. But three songs you could give a try are:
83
Great Indoors
St.Patrick's Day

8) :lol: :D :) :shock:

[Sweet One]

Hey Sweety, that's a pretty good reason for not liking the GA concerts...i'm kinda claustrophobic as well....

Wow..i guess i'll give those songs a try...hey, you never know i might end up liking his stuff!!!

Thanks a lot..

Oh...and I say that you should probably go, that is, if you think there is any way that you could get over the fear of large crowds and claustrophia...it's a great deal!!

Sweet :wink:

[carrie3078]

I'd totally go if I were you. I get a bit claustrophobic as well, but I did it for the CP show and it was completely worth it. I could not put my arm down to my sides, but I didn't care. I was so close, and that had been my plan all along.

I like John Mayer. I got his cd a few weeks ago, it's pretty good. Nothing to WOW, but good music anyway.

[';']

that one song.....what is it called.... i dont know but in the video there playing in a small place w/christmas lights hanging in the back i think its called no such thing or is that the name of the disc anyways i wasnt really into him but i kept hearing that song over and over and i kind of like it now.

but here's what you wanted to know i guess: if it were me i wouldnt go but since the tickets are that cheap and your pondering it then just go.

[sarah**]

thanks for all your input
i am pretty sure i will go, just my friend that wants to go with me isn't allowed to take the subway home at night (paranoid mother) and parking is a pain downtown so i will have to figure it out.

and ginger the single is called no such thing you are right, his cd is called room for squares.

8)

[';']

yeah thanks sarah. i say just take the subway. you wont have to worry about gas or parking, but if you do drive yourself good luck on the parking. and have fun.

[sarah**]

in the end i didn't get tickets, but thanks for commenting

it is too much of a hassle, maybe closer to the show i might decide at the last minute to get but not now.

[sarah**]

I like him a lot, and him and Counting Crows are doing a tour this summer :D

[sarah**]

AND if anyone likes Howie Day also, their is a live version of John's Not Myself with Howie Day and at the end they cover a bit of We Never Change. When I found it I went insane, because I love Howie Day and John Mayer and they covered Coldplay :o :D :-D

[Katharina]

John Mayer is a real cutie-pie! :-D I love "Your Body Is A Wonderland" and "83"!!! The video to "Your Body..." is sooo natural and sweet. I don't own his album, so I guess I should change that soon, soulmate!! :D

[Sweet One]

John Mayer's okay...i never really caught on to him...i don't know why... :shrug:

[sarah**]

John Mayer is a real cutie-pie! :-D I love "Your Body Is A Wonderland" and "83"!!! The video to "Your Body..." is sooo natural and sweet. I don't own his album, so I guess I should change that soon, soulmate!! :D

He is a realy cutie :) And very funny, I've seen him interviewed and he has a great sense of humour, very sarcastic. You'd love him :)

[sarah**]

John Mayer's okay...i never really caught on to him...i don't know why... :shrug:

If you don't like him from the stuff you've heard already then you probably won't like the rest of his stuff. I don't know what it is, but it seems like people either love him or hate him. It's very easy listening, kinda like David Gray but more pop...

[sarah**]

I got John's live CD today, Any Given Thursday. I have been listening non-stop since I got it. It's so good, unfortunately I didn't get to see him when he came to Toronto (none of my fucking friends would go with me :x )

I still need to get his first album.

[psychedelic_clocks]

JOHN!! OMG!! I THOUGHT NO ONE LIKED HIM HERE!! AHH!! THATS SO AWESOME!!
i love his cd! its so good! and St. PAtricks day is a really good song! before i thought he wasn't all that great then i liked him as a joke..and found out i really did like him. and andy stochansky...really goood cd..and sondre lerche! ahh all these guys!

[sarah**]

maybe i should get the andy stochansky cd...

[Katharina]

John Mayer is a real cutie-pie! :-D I love "Your Body Is A Wonderland" and "83"!!! The video to "Your Body..." is sooo natural and sweet. I don't own his album, so I guess I should change that soon, soulmate!! :D

Oh boy - not another guy to fall in love with... :o ;)

[Sweet One]

John Mayer was in my dream last night...i dreamt that he was in my town... :shrug:

[sarah d]

[cold_kitty]

omg when jimmy fallon made fun of john mayer on snl last weekend, i pissed myself! that was toooo funny!

i love john mayer! he's the cutest guy! and so humble!

[sarah**]

nice avatar cold kitty!

[sarah**]

How good was John at the Grammy's this year?!?! His performance was one of the best besides for Coldplay's :D

[naca]

i really like Your Body is a Wonderland and NO Such THing...they r really awesome songs

[TriflesAndEvils]

i remember getting a 3 dollar john mayer demo 2 or 3 years ago with a lenny kravitz cover on it. haha.

[cold_kitty]

nice avatar cold kitty!

oh thank you! that's very kind of you to say! but all credit is due to will for being such a sexy beast in that picture! *lol*

i also agree about jon's grammy performance! he rocked the house!!! i lurve him! :)

[psychedelic_clocks]

ANDY STOCHANSKY'S CD IS SO GREAT ! ITS SO NICE!

[sarah**]

BTW if you want to download some John Mayer songs, download Covered in Rain. It's not on Room for Squares so either it's on his first CD which I don't have or it's a b-side of some sort. It's really good.

[Dandy Andy]

whenever john mayer or stochansky sing, they look like they're gonna puke
but, i still like them.. no wait NOT THEM.. just andy

hey, anyone heard the cover of "kid a" by john mayer?
i didnt, tell me if its good... i couldnt find it

[Sweet One]

It's so true!! They do look like they're gonna puke!!!

[Manders]

I think John Mayor is reallllllllllly sexy but he has to many performance videos :shrug:

[psychedelic_clocks]

SHUT UP DANDY ANDY!!!!!
noo go back to your radiohead board!




JOHN MAYER IS SO COOL! im so going to see him when he comes to toronto...anyone comming with me?

[Dandy Andy]

the why georgia vid sucks ... those girls are so annoying
theyre like "woo hee hoo haa ooh john mayer" and all.. sickens me and makes ME wanna puke

[psychedelic_clocks]

[Dandy Andy]

[sarah**]

Oh well I think he is co-headlining a summer tour with Counting Crows so I am hoping they will do a Toronto date. They haven't announced any dates yet as far as I know.

[psychedelic_clocks]

aww....
i'm sure looking forward to summer...more concerts..i hope.

[shangrila]

I like John Mayer, I got Room for Squares once I heard "Why Georgia?" his 3rd. single here in California. I like "Neon" , in short I'm not sorry I bought his album ;)

[Manders]

its a good album...my sis has it....just tooooooooo many performance vids.

[psychedelic_clocks]

I love the CD!!!! its so good!

[walkingcontradiction]

i just love the two of them....

[LiquidSky]

I didn't really lliked the song that mayer had about the blankes & stuff, but the more they play it on the radio the more I like it, & about Sarah, I only like 3 songs of her, well those are the only ones I've heard,so....

[Sweet One]

I'm a fan of Sarah....i have all her albums.

[God]

yeah, i love sarah mclachlan, she's great.

[teresa]

[fifi]

[Jewelee]

[Jewelee]

[God]

angel is beautiful.... so is 'full of grace' and 'last dance'. i love that whole album. i always listen to it when im sad and it makes me even more sad :? but i love it anyway

[psychedelic_clocks]

I LOVE JOHN SO MUCH! HE IS SOOO AMAZING!

[LiquidSky]

I haven't heard that song you guys are talking about, the angel one? mmm, I should go download it right now... :D

[walkingcontradiction]

i think my fav sarah song is probably... adia or sweet surrender.. yeah it makes me sad after listening to the album.. but she turns melancholy to magic!!

and as for mr mayer.. Jewelee: try downloading Comfortable and Sucker. its reaaaally good!

[Mailla]

"I love you" from Sarah is just so amazing! It kills me each time i listen to it! that's why i don't do it so much! lol But she's got an awesome voice! :o

[CityandColour]

im a big John Mayer fan, if you havent heard anything by him take a listen to:

Why Georgia
Your Body Is A Wonderland
No Such Thing
83
Back To You
Neon

[walkingcontradiction]

awww man, you couldn't get tickets? i would sooo want to see john mayer live :( i love him!!

[walkingcontradiction]

im a big John Mayer fan, if you havent heard anything by him take a listen to:

Why Georgia
Your Body Is A Wonderland
No Such Thing
83
Back To You
Neon
there's also this beautiful song "comfortable"- it's the best mayer song!

[Jacob]

I love John Mayer's stuff, he's the new Dave Matthews. Well that's just what I think.

I like the song St. patrick's day.

[Sammie]

I think I love this man, I'm downloading the album right now...got about 4 songs so far...woah! :D ;)

[Sammie]

I like this song...
My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change


Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon


We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong


Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one


I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me


Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now


One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire


Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one


I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me


Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now

[Corner Kid]

I was a big Mayer fan back when he was a local artist here in Atlanta. Then he got a band and released his CD, I wasnt that big into his CD when it came out... "Your Body is a Wonderland" is such a cheesy overly produced song. It sounded different on his first release of RFS, then they re-did his album (to make it even more poppy) and they totally went overboard.

Should you go see him live? yes, definitely, he hides himself on his album, but comes out on stage and shows you everything he's got. He's a great guitarist. He turns his songs into Jam sessions and goes all out on the solos.

I feel bad for the guy, He gets paid all this money, but the industry gets to have its way with his music, that makes me nervous as a musician.

big label: we'll pay you a million dollars if we can produce your record

Chad: wow, thats a lot of money, I could live the rest of my life on that, Ok, just dont go overboard with it

big label: trust us, we know what we're doing

*months later*

Rollingstone: Chad Yochum's Debut Album = * out of *****. He's a total John Mayer wannabe, we hope he'll be gone as soon as possible.

Chad: NOOOOOO

big label: heheheh, money money money

[Jacob]

No Such Thing is a good song. John Mayer is a good guitarist.

[bozo]

At first I hated this guy.. but only cause he's just really damn good.

I don't like his mouth.. it bugs me. If you know how John sings then you know what I'm talking about.

I would definitely recommend listening to a song called 3 x 5 ... very good stuff. My mom even went out and got the cd just for that song after I played it for her. Also a good song is St. Patrick's Day.

Enjoy!

[sarah**]

I think I love this man, I'm downloading the album right now...got about 4 songs so far...woah! :D ;)

Don't just download it BUY IT! Support the artist :)

This thread is so old, it's from October which was when the show was and I regret not going but what can I do now :shrug:
Yeah it is really poppy and over produced but it is very good. I have the live album and it's great, not quite actually seeing him live but it's the closest I can get.
P.S. I added you to my lj friends list ;)

[sarah**]

I don't like his mouth.. it bugs me. If you know how John sings then you know what I'm talking about.

LOL it doesn't bother me that much but I can see how it would annoy you.

[Sammie]

I think I love this man, I'm downloading the album right now...got about 4 songs so far...woah! :D ;)

Don't just download it BUY IT! Support the artist :)

Y'know I would...but I have no money...and when I do I will buy it..but for the mean time I'm just downloading everything :)

[sarah**]

Y'know I would...but I have no money...and when I do I will buy it..but for the mean time I'm just downloading everything :)

CD prices are so expensive in the UK. They are so much more than what I am used to. Like a new CD here is about $17 which is about £7.50.

[Sammie]

lol exactly..where as the albums here cost around £17.00 :(

[squirlymoo]

I get to see him at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on July 18. We're way the hell in the back cuz my mom procrastinated on buying tickets for my birthday, but I'm not complaining.

[squirlymoo]

I absolutely adore both of them. They're such brilliant musicians.

[squirlymoo]

John Mayer = my God. He really is. He makes some weird faces when he plays, but his music is just incendiary. His lyrics are amazing and he's got more talent with that guitar than he lets on on his CDs. When he jams, it's just like ... *dies*

[Sammie]

:)

[psychedelic_clocks]

I LOVE JOHN MAYER!
I have his cd, its one of my favourites.

[Jacob]

His music is really damn good! I'm really into the song Why Georgia right now. Any other fans?

[sarah**]

Go buy the album if you do not already own it :) He is fabulous! A really good songwriter and catchy music :) And his live album is ace :)

[Jacob]

yea. I watched him live on MuchMoreMusic, he is really good!........ You know what. That's a good idea. I'll go out and buy the album as soon as this sun burn wears off.

[sarah**]

Rooms For Squares was the first big album, he had an indie one called Inside Wants Out and then there is the live album Any Given Thursday. I suggest buying Room For Squares first :)
And sorry to hear about the sun burn, they suck ass :(

[Jacob]

I know. The left side of my face is completely red. Thanks for caring about it!

Yea, I heard great stuff about Room For Squares. The songs I've heard and loved are No Such Thing, Why Georgia, Your Body Is A Wonderland, and St. Patricks Day. That last one is amazing!

[sarah**]

I would say Room For Squares and Parachutes are the only albums I own where I genuinely love every song on the album :)

I always get sunburns because I'm so pale. If it's any consolation at least you aren't a woman because getting a sunburn on your back and then wearing a bra afterwards is not fun at all :oops:

[Jacob]

hahahah. Thanks for the consolation!

Why Georgia got me hooked on John Mayer. Something people can relate to. It's about how sometimes in life you wonder if you are going the right way.

[sarah**]

oooooooooh i see you have it in your sig :)

[Jacob]

yea. It's a fabulous song. I can't wait to hear new stuff from him. But I still have to hear the rest of Room For Squares.

[sarah**]

1) Are you going to come to our Toronto meetup, eh eh... ;)
2) Other bands you should check out Phantom Planet because they are fun and good and Howie Day because he is a lot like John Mayer but less poppy than John.

[Jacob]

1) I might. Give me a date! I'm gonna be camping again in August.
2) I will check out those other bands. I promise!

[sarah**]

1) Good it would be awesome if you can make it and I think the date is still being played with but when I know you will know :)
2) You definitely should and then tell me what you think :)

[Jacob]

1) okay. Tell me when it is. When you find out.

2) Always On My Mind is a pretty good song by Phantom Planet.

[CityandColour]

yes god fucking damn'it!!!

[Jacob]

Hanson is working on a new cd? that's cool! wow, all the bands that my generation grew up listening to. Thanks to them I have the taste in music I have now!

haha remember when Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls were the two most popular bands?

[psychedelic_clocks]

aww man yea...my sister has a lot of backstreetboys cd...but she doesn't even like themm...i guess she likes some songs? meeh..
I remember in grade 3 or something..when the spice girls were around..hahaha..one of my guy friends were obsessed with them..it was so funny.

[Jacob]

oh yea, all the guys in my grade were obsessed with Spice Girls. Even though to this day they deny it!

[psychedelic_clocks]

hahahaha!!!
i had a tape of the spice girls..but i lost it. i barely listened to it too..

[Jacob]

haha. Wannabe was the song that everyone of the kids in my school knew.

[psychedelic_clocks]

hahaha...I forgot how that song goes....

[psychedelic_clocks]

i remember the ziggy zig ah part..haha
or is it in another song?

[Jacob]

HAHAHHAHAA that's the same song.

But anyways, BACK TO THE TOPIC. John Mayer is great!

[Dandy Andy]

ew DID YOU FIND YOUR OVARIES??!?!?!?!?!?

[psychedelic_clocks]

ovaries...emo boys have ovaries..emo girls have cocks! HAHAH that game kicks ass!


JOHN MAYER is GREAT! he's is so freaking RAD! not that rad..but SO GREAT!
yes! GO JOHN GO JOHN!.
I want his dvd!

[Jacob]

I saw the DVD at Futureshp today. I thought about buying, but instead just got the live cd.

3x5 is a great song!

[Manders]

:P

[psychedelic_clocks]

WOO!
I need to ask my friend if I can borrow her JOHN MAYER dvd!

[Ellie]

But anyways, BACK TO THE TOPIC. John Mayer is great!


Thank u!*bows 2 u* i was beginning to wonder if it had turned in to a spice girls thread! :lol:

i luv his music so much! (not to mention that hes pretty damn good looking :P ) They're so honest! My faves r - my stupid mouth - why georgia ( i listened to that over and over - does anyone eva do that? then you get really sick of it - stop listening to it for a while - then when you finally pull it out and listen to it again - u fall in luv with it all over again!)

ok back to my fav songs - Not Myself , Victoria
Yeah st patricks day is awesome!
Comfortable (relaxing and oh so honest!)
Theres prolly more but i cant think of them!
:/

:/

[Gas_Man]

Alright! :wink3:
Any of you lot heard the JOHN MAYOR cover of RADIOHEAD's 'KID A"
it's an acoustic version of the song...it's Really Really good.. :)

[Jacob]

yea! I heard it! It is very good!

[CityandColour]

what i hate though is when people going around calling him "poppy". fuck them. he makes good music.

[Majson]

meh not a fan of Mayer myself, i think his lyrics are downright pathetic and he tries to be something he isn't, how-ever i do think he can actually play guitar.

i how-ever prefer Jason Mraz, Howie day, Dave matthews (who john wants to be) etc

[CityandColour]

your talking about people wanting to be people. please, Mraz wants to be Mayer. besides Your Body Is A Wonderland, John Mayer actually has good lyrics.

[CityandColour]

by the way, your sig fucking rules.

[CityandColour]

eh, nevermind, what the hell happened to the Hannibal one?

[psychedelic_clocks]

I just saw the video for John Mayer's new song, Bigger than my body. I like the song. its nice.

[CityandColour]

uh-oh, even that song title is gonna make people call John Mayer even more poppy...

[fifi]

ok this is the dude who sings that song-your body is a wonderland??? :/
ok imo he sounds like ronan keating, for anyone who doesn't know who he is, he's a pop singer over here :stunned: does anyone else who knows who that is agree with me or am i just going crazy???? :lol: :/

[CityandColour]

yes, YBIAW is by john mayer. i actually love that song, despite of what anyone thinks of him.

[psychedelic_clocks]

Bigger than my body is a good song! its better than you're body is a wonderland. well, i think it is.

[Jacob]

Bigger Than My Body is pretty good. Yea, I think it's better than Your Body Is A Wonderland.

[brazzer22]

John is the man, I just saw him in St.Louis a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing. He not only has really good songs, but they're complicated as hell. My friend is really good at guitar and he can't even begin to play "Neon" b/c it's too hard, with the really weird chords and tapping on the guitar all at the same time. John's new cd is going to be out soon and I'll be sure to pick it up.

[Majson]

Mraz isn't trying to be mayer....if anything he wants to be matthews, but mraz does not have the arrogence aroudn him that makes him seem like a pompus uptight ****...which mayer seems to have.

and my sig changes...i thought people knew by now

[psychedelic_clocks]

NOVEMBER 5TH! He's comming to TORONTO! Playing at the ACC!
If I'm allowed, and able to get tickets, I might go with my friend. we both loover john's ass. haha

ooo cd's comes out in two days!

[gvargas]

Sarah's great..

I will remember you...will you remember me....

in the arms of an angel...fly away from here

[CityandColour]

fairly big John Mayer fan here. Room For Squares is a great cd.

[el_scorcho]

Sarah McLaughlin is very talented...it's just that all of her songs sound pretty much the same in my opinion. :P

[*Justine*]

Anyone going to the Toronto John Mayer show next Wednesday??

[sarah**]

YES I AM!!!!!!!!!! SO FUCKING EXCITED. WOOOOT.

[rf_ucsd]

Let us know how it is. I have both of the John Mayer releases but it doesn't seem like a show I'd like to see live ...

... but I would love for your feedback to dispell that notion.

[Corner Kid]

I'm not a fan of his album material, but what gives him so many fans is his live performaces, the dude can play guitar like a maniac, he turns his songs into jam sessions and just goes on and on. Thats basically how he made it big.

[sarah**]

i think he'd be better live than on the albums

[CityandColour]

He isn't, the album sounds better.

[*Justine*]

On my tickets it just says 730. Anyone know when doors open?

[mycdplayerisbroke]

He isn't, the album sounds better.


yes great divide knows everything... NOT
ive downloaded his videos illegally via kazaa lite for all you tree huggers out there
and he does sound better live i think

[rf_ucsd]

I didn't realize environmentalists where against downloading. In fact, I would suspect that a radical environmentalist would much prefer downloading since it doesn't require anything beyond electrons and a computer.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

HAHAHA

i know im just being an ass

[rf_ucsd]

it's ok ... tree-huggers is good to throw out there every once in a while

[*Justine*]

So anyway, back to my question! :o

[rf_ucsd]

people HAVE been answering it

[*Justine*]

huh?

[sarah**]

this is late but the concert was really good!

[Jewelee]

So i was invited to Mr.. Mayer's concert on friday and it has to be one the best concerts ive been to behind Coldplay. So definitely go check him out live. He covered a small piece of a coldplay song "I want to live in a wooden house, where making more friends would be easy..." BEAUTIFUL he caught me off guard there but it was great.
oh and Maroon 5 opened for him, couldnt have been better.

[fifi]

oh cool. My brother was meant to go see him a couple of months back but he didn't get tickets in time so....I'm gonna be a mean little sister and show him your post because he's still kicking himself about not getting tickets earlier :lol: :sneaky:

[CityandColour]

Meh....

Well... um... I think Cary Pierce (from Jackopierce), opened for John Mayer one time... 'cause I got a live recording of part of it... :)

[sarah**]

I've seen John Mayer live and he is great! And he has said many times he is a massive fan of Coldplay and often covers them live :)

[mycdplayerisbroke]

john mayer :cool:

[Kettercat]

I might be getting one of these CDs (John's "Heavier Things" and Howie's "Stop The World Now") for free so I need to pick which one I want better...
I've heard of these two but honestly, never had the chance to hear their stuff... which one do you reckon is better?

[Jewel]

Dunno enough about Howie Day. :confused: John Mayer is okay/nice.

[CityandColour]

Who is Howie Day?

I obviously pick John Mayer. :P :rolleyes:

[*Justine*]

Howie Day.. John Mayer has washed up.

[Kettercat]

Thanks everyone :D

[sarah**]

Howie Day :D :D

[sarah**]

and don't forget to tell us what you think!

[Kettercat]

I will :D

[sarah**]

More about Howie Day. In my opinion Australia is a better album than Stop All The World Now. He also released an EP called The Madrigals EP which was two discs, one had 5 songs on it and the other was a DVD with about 25 minute live performance. Once you see Howie Day perform live you will be in total amazement at what he does live. He is incredible, I urge you to see some of his live performance stuff, I'm sure you can find it somewhere online.

Howie Day is heavily influenced by Jeff Buckley and I know you are a big Jeff fan so you will probably appreciate Howie's work. Howie also does lots of covers when he performs live. I have a good version of Lover You Should've Come Over by Howie :D

[Hicksy]

i say John Mayer :P

Oh, John's done a cover of this song as well :D
Thanks so much for all this information, Howie sounds great. I will definitely look for some live performances of him :D

[sarah**]

i say John Mayer :P

:furious3:

[Ellie]

mmm ok so this post is a bit old but im gonna put my say here anyway!! :P i luv john mayers music ... but i was watching him on some live tv thing - i think it was called the sessions ...and ...well..it looked like he was gonna eat the microphone ...and on the tv it didnt sound to good . :confused:

[Bar]

I noticed there's only very few threads about this great composer...
so I said: well, I'll start one then... a john mayer appreciation thread!

[sarah**]

:kiss: john mayer :kiss:

[Sweet One]

I'm not a big John Mayer fan. I like "Bigger than my body" and "your body is a wonderland" but that's it.

[*Justine*]

I like his EP, thats about it, then he got too poppy for me.

And I dont find him attractve at all.

[Sally_]

yum...he reminds me of someone :wink3:

[CityandColour]

I like John Mayer. I have the album 'Room for Squares,' and it's great. I've recently taken a liking to 'Bigger Than My Body' and, 'Clarity,' too.

[CityandColour]

A perfect album. :cool:

[headbanger_bassist]

if i like him i might agree with you :idea2: :P :D

[Jacob]

yea this one was good. I don't like Heavier Things though, that album's so boring.

[CityandColour]

:P

Yup, I agree. I don't like Heavier Things, either. (I like Daughters, Bigger Than My Body)

Too different from his first stuff. Boring.

[Gas_Man]

haven't really heard That much of his music, but he seems a very good songwriter

[Hicksy]

he is rather super :D

[CityandColour]

I think he is. People piss and moan too much about 'Your Body Is A Wonderland,' being too poppy. Fuck them. It's not, it's a brilliant tune. There isn't one bad song on this album.

[labell]

I'm going to see him in concert on the 22nd :D

[Hicksy]

:cool:

[Jacob]

Your Body Is A Wonderland is too cheesy to me. WHy Georgia, 3x5, and St. Patrick's Day are my faves.

[CityandColour]

No Such Thing is most likely mine.

[fifi]

I love John Mayer! I only got into him a couple of months ago when my brother gave me his album and told me to listen to him :)
I love no such thing and neon :blush: they're my fav songs on the album

[Sarah here]

John mayer has sexy lips



I like heavier things, but of coarse room for squares is better

[Gas_Man]

he played a cover of Kid A (Acoustic) and We Never Change.
I'd never thought of Kid A being played that way, try find it to download, it's great

[el_scorcho]

Last year my friend went all the way down to Vermont just to see John Mayer in concert. :P

[Jacob]

Oh yea, the cover of Kid A is very good!

[Jacob]

Oh yea, the cover of Kid A is very good!

[labell]

I thought I should share my concert-going experience of John Mayer. He played a lot of blues-y kind of stuff for covers. Most of his new stuff, from heavier things, makes me sick to the stomache. He did an awesome intro for Daughters though. He played the classics, which I was glad or I would've shot him. His acoustics are really good. He really is the most amazing guitar player i've ever seen, but the blues thing..i can't stand.

He also did this really interesting things with one of his backup guitar players. It was like...Guitar Twister....He stood with his back to the other guy, and played the other guys guitar, then the other guy played John's guitar with his arms around John.

Oh and when he screwed up lyrics they did something called "Where was John."

All in all good, but that blues stuff :sick:

[cold_kitty]

i saw john mayer when he stopped in toronto.

i actually only went to the concert to see maroon 5. they were amazing. john surprised me and was a lot better then the last time i saw him.

i was so bored when he kept playing random blues riffs. urgh. i was like 'i'm here to see you sing'.

[PolyEsther]

i saw John last december and i was totally disappointed to say the least...i love room for squares and heavier things but the way that concert went was just wrong somehow. He had practically no interaction with the audience took too much time between the songs to change guitars, the setlist was rather miserable i missed lots of my fav songs...ah well i could go on forever. i think i expected just a bit more. the only thing that was spot on were the songs itself and John's voice.

[MrLick]

and john mayer fans? this guy is amazing!

i could have sworn their was a thread about him, but I didnt find one when i searched...

[bonabon]

yes i love johnny boy. but ive only bothered listening to heavier things. its great tho. i saw him on the dave shappelle show - funny

[alyaarene]

I love John Mayer. Ever since i heard No Such Things i have been hooked :D . My fave album is Room For Squares, it's one of those rare albums when you can listen through from the beginning to the end without skipping a single song, like Coldplay's albums, at least for me. :rolleyes:
That doesn't mean i don't like Heavier Things, it's just second. :P

[badlydrawngirl]

im listening to bigger than my body
such a lovely, uplifting song! :)

[Sarah87]

John fan right here!Both Room for Squares and Heavier things are excellent albums that I can listen to in their entirty.

What's your favourite Song?

Mine is "Split Screen Sadness".

[MrLick]

mine is new deep.

[berrywoman]

I like him.. I have Room for Squares, and I must say I havent even added it to my iPod!! :shocked: whats wrong with me!! lol I think I'll do this now..

*appreciates*

[badlydrawngirl]

mine is new deep.


thats a good song

[alyaarene]

I love the lyrics in Bigger Than My Body and Love Song For No One, i can relate to that.

[colduser]

There's somethinkg about Mayer's vocal delivery that I can't stand. I respect the guy for having talent and writing his own material but his music leaves me unimpressed.

[badlydrawngirl]

love the lyrics in Bigger Than My Body



me too!

[bonabon]

wheel is a really lovely song

[*Justine*]

I was impressed at first, I had 'Room for Squares' and 'Inside Wants Out'..but after that his singles just started boring me.

[bonita]

i love no such thing :)

[badlydrawngirl]

i didnt like him until sometime last week :lol:

[bonabon]

:surprised: how coincidental

[badlydrawngirl]

indeed :idea2:

[MrLick]

I love the lyrics in Bigger Than My Body and Love Song For No One, i can relate to that.

ya john mayers lyrics are awesome, specialy for bigger then my body, i relate that song the most out of his, seeing as how im 17 yrs old and still only 5'3'' lol

[cold_kitty]

i love john mayer because not only is he talented and good looking, but he's damn funny too.

[Sarah87]

His voice is fine once you get used to it,it's not the best but it delivers more than fairly.

His brilliance to me lies in his lyrics. They're amusing,smart and very relatable.He comes up with awesome melodies as well,that enough makes him at the top of my list.

[MrLick]

i like his voice, its very good. but his stronged part is his lyrics and music.

[gentleparachute]

I've Room For Squares... Brilliant fella. Love his guitar-work and the intimate sounds he produces. So relaxing!
Yep, one of the few albums with non-skippers :) Though yeah, surprisingly the voice can get a bit boring after a while unlike Chris Martin's... I wonder why?

[Sarah87]

I just noticed that his voice sounded much better back in 2001,now its's more like breathing the words than singing them,I love his live stuff from before better.

Him and Coldplay are probably my only non-skippers for a while now too.

[cold_kitty]

yeah, you guys made a good point about his lyrics. they are pretty clever and original.

[Ten Dollar Outfit]

I think our singer sounds like him a bit.

http://cdbaby.com/allmp3/tendollaroutfit.m3u

[MrLick]

love song for no one is my new favorite john mayer song.

[el_scorcho]

He's a good musician and a cutie! :sneaky:

[cold_kitty]

what makes john really cute to me is the fact that he's not really all that different...you could pick a guy that dresses and looks like him off the street. he's your average good looking guy. i like that. makes you relate to him in a way.

that voice though, that's an above average voice...

[singinlizard]

I love john mayer. i saw him a few years ago in raliegh. he can be quite witty. in the concert he gave away a printer...he was making fun of eminem giving away some bling to a fan. my fav song from him is my stupid mouth. i cant get enough of that song. :P

[MrLick]

ahh my stupid mouth is one of my favorites as well, i can relate to that song. haha :lol:

[badlydrawngirl]

bigger than my body is my favourite
:D

[u2tu830]

3x5 is classic

[tjames921]

3x5 is classic

3x5 is great. Love soon is also good.

does this mean he's doing more blues stuff? If so, that's pretty awesome. He actually has a lot of guitar talent, but he doesn't show it in the music he's writing now. Maybe he'll show it off on this tour.

[Kapone]

im watching this guy right now on TV and he's really good. I like it.

[Sarah87]

^^You'll LOVE it if you check out more of his stuff.

I hate how he's famous/won grammys for his more radio friendly songs like Your Body Is A Wonderland and Daughters,He's had much better singles.

[Bar]

totally... and his unreleased songs are pretty great too!

[Sarah87]

oh yeah,and his COVERS,love them,specially Wind Cries Mary and Lover,You Should've Come Over.

[sarah**]

i've heard him cover we never change!!!!!!

[Bar]

I have that song, it's awesome... he was doing not myself when he started to sing we never change! I can upload if you want
let's no forget he's looking mighty fine with that new long hair :wink3:

[Bar]

forgot to add... victoria is his best song
I tune my guitar with that song :P

[MrLick]

some john mayer after a bad day helps alot.

[sarah**]

I have that song, it's awesome... he was doing not myself when he started to sing we never change! I can upload if you want
let's no forget he's looking mighty fine with that new long hair :wink3:

can you please upload that, i used to have it a long time ago but have lost it having to reformat my comp many times.

[MrLick]

yeah i'd really really liketo hear that song.

[Kapone]

i've heard him cover we never change!!!!!!

thats is so cool! I'll try and find it.

[Kapone]

this guy has a real Jamie Cullum vibe to hime

[andthesunshines]

I can't believe John covered "We never change." I'd love to hear it if anyone's willing to upload it. :)

^^You'll LOVE it if you check out more of his stuff.

I hate how he's famous/won grammys for his more radio friendly songs like Your Body Is A Wonderland and Daughters,He's had much better singles.

I couldn't agree with you more, especially on "Daughters."

[sarah**]

i'm pretty sure when he covered we never change he sang it with Howie Day who is another excellent singer and y'all should check him out.

[cold_kitty]

^^ that's the greatest cover i have never heard!
the mayer and the day singing coldplay? gah, too good to be true!

[n8dawg]

John's new album, "Continuum", is available to buy right here. (http://www.musictoday.com/redirect/bounce.asp?cid=16643)

If you buy a copy you'll automatically get a free one year subscription to Rolling Stone magazine.

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

thank you,my classmate love him,he should buy it

[brandon313]

i really like him, i didnt at first with all of his poppy bubble gum stuff, but it was obviously jsut to get his name in the media before he could drop the stuff he really likes (blues and soul) his newest album and the one before that are REALLY excellent pieces of music. He and i are basically the same kind of musician, blues roots in guitar, play the same style guitar, but likes the softer stuff as well.


i hear hes a dick tho! hahaha that sucks. But it still doesnt change the fact that he is an excellent musician.

for some of his newer work, get "waiting on the world to change"
great song about the Iraqi situation
