seriously, this is maybe the most rediculous arguement ive ever heard. i felt compelled to say something because this really makes me cringe, those who dont like john mayer, does that give you a right to have a go at him and call him a bad musician? no because whether you like it or not he is an amazing musician, and the fact that he’s world famous and is extremely successful with women and his musical carreer should tell you something, and that something is stop slating amazing musicians when all you can do is sit at home arguing a point that neither side can win, because in the end, artists will be hated and loved, it all depends on the listener, but seriously guys, get a hobby

Voice of Reason: So you were a teenager when Hendrix was alive. The only thing that I have to say to that is: You are old, dude!! Get a life an d stop sounding like my grandpa!

Voice Of Reason: So you were a teenager when Hendrix was alive. Wow! the only thing that I have to say to that is: You are old, dude!! Get a life and stop sounding like my grandpa!

So true, so true. Guys are so threatened by John… it’s fascinating. Course - they should be. He KNOWS.

haha that’s really funny jo

Men hate John cuz their girlfriends all wanna do him. It sucks to NOT BE JOHN, man….

It is a gift indeed to be able to laugh at yoursef…at life…at anything. In the world we live in, Lord knows we need a laugh. So, being a big dork sometimes has it’s reasons. Keep Rockin!!

Now THIS is entertainment! Its amazing how a bear suit can incite this kind of passionate outpour from the masses…kudos, John…and for all of the naysayers, go suck a grizzly cock!

I loved that concert(west palm beach) especially John arrived on stage with his bear suit.

if you hate john so much why are you reading articles about him and then deciding to bash what he does. why not find something more valuable to do with you time instead of spending all your time being dumb asses

“Voice of Reason, do you walk around in a cap and gown?”

Nah, I just learned to use REAL BIG WORDS. Sorry if it makes you uncomfortable.

Look, kiddies, I was a teenager when Hendrix walked the earth and was witness to that whole musical revolution. If you can listen to Mayer’s versions of “Wait Until Tomorrow” and “Bold as Love” and not draw a favorable comparison, you need to make an appt. with an otolaryngologist.

And I was lucky enough to see Stevie Ray Vaughan perform live, so I know this comparison is apt as well.

It’s certainly your right to disagree, but to say, “He’s a wiener,” without any basis to support that statement is just plain lame.

It is hard to deny the opinions of countless artists that proclaim that Mayer is the best of the new age singer/songwriters that are trying to push their way to the front of the line in their genre. Now, to compare him to Hendrix is going a little far, but in another 15 years this could be a just comparison. This man has talent, and the charisma that he exudes is off the charts for a musician of his popularity.

Dear diary,
My eternal pursuit of cogent assesments in online rock and roll journalism again today proved a heart-wrenching failure.
In other news, I have not heard back yet from Robert Smith but it is only October.
Yours,
Voice of Reason

Voice of Reason, do you walk around in a cap and gown?

You sound like a lot of fun, Voice of Reason. Have a wiener. Sigh.

No one compared Mayer to Hendrix you dumb bitch.

Whoever just compared that hack John Mayer to the great Hendrix is a douche and should never be allowed to buy a CD ever again. I hope Curtis Mayfield’s family sues him out the yin yang for stealing that “Waiting on the World to Change” song.

If you’d open your ears, you’d realize John Mayer has enormous talent. Compare him to losers like Fifty Cent and other idiot rappers and you’ll get the picture. John’s got it goin’ on baby!

“John Mayer should change his name to Oscar because he is a wiener. Thank you.”

Now, there’s a well-reasoned, cogent assessment. (sigh) I’m outta here.

Yeah, her beaver

John Mayer should change his name to Oscar because he is a wiener. Thank you.

Eric Clapton seems to think John Mayer is a talented guitar player, so let’s defer to his judgment, shall we?

Hundreds of thousands of people the world over appreciate Mayer’s music. Why? Maybe because he ponders deeper subjects than “bringing sexy back” and chooses to write introspective songs expressing universal longings. Maybe because his guitar-playing ability ranks him with Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Maybe because he’s a creative, poetic lyricist with an unparalleled sense of musicality. Maybe all of the above.

There’s so much crap out there being peddled by recording companies looking to make a quick buck. The vast majority of the CD-buying public ought to have the word “chump” tattooed on their foreheads. If you really want to bitch, bitch about that.

Ever since that article last month in RS it’s become obvious that something’s not right in this dude’s head. I bet he punches himself.

Every artist that has an album out has to have some sense of self worth and ego…it amazes me the amount of ignorant people in the world.

And for any of you wondering, yes I smoke cock on a daily basis and I am the leader of the Nickelback fan club.

This guy’s music makes me want to cut.

I wouldn’t say that he TOTALLY untalented, but he’s full of himself and that alone makes me not buy his records or listen to his faux blues.

Sheryl came on stage in Tampa (Thursday night, the last show of the tour) in a baby-blue two-piece bikini while Mayer was trying to sing “Daughters”.

She looked mouth-watering. He looked overwhelmed of the woman.

I have a kangaroo suit.

Whether you like John’s music or not (and I do), you have to admit that he’s got a great sense of humor. It’s really cool to see a bonafied talented musician who doesn’t take himself too seriously, when so many flash-in-the-pan crap musicians seem to think that they’re God’s gift to the record industry.

And I know that John’s music isn’t for everyone… but how can people say he’s totally untalented? I honestly don’t get it! And I’m one of those people who believes that most popular music sucks, too.

John Mayer is the most brilliant and entertaining musician this half of the 21st century. He’s smart, funny, nice and writes some of the best lyrics to some of the most complex and intricately composed music currently available. Oh and his voice is amazing - live vocals are identical to album. He’s the man!

Mr. Jessica Simpson is the most arrogant, self centered musician out there. Let’s hope he suffocates in that retarded suit one day.

to Frank:
it is macho cavemen like you who givemen a bad name. Why dont you go hang out with other hick republicans drink bear and crush the cans on your head and shut the fuck up
p.s.
I don’t even like john mayer that much, he is okay daughthers is kind of guilty pleasure of mine, it is just that closed minded people like you are what holds our society back

One more reason to like John Mayer. That was cool.

John is hilarious and very talented… for all of you that disagree, get some ears and actually listen to it… you may discover a true musician and what you have been missing… I would like to see you do better.

People need to stop giving John Mayer grief. If he were some guy who falls for the “my songs are important pieces of art” attitude that Chad Kroeger apparently buys into, perhaps I would be wanting to kick him too. Mayer is the James Taylor of today. His songs are pleasant and inocuous…and that’s just fine. If he wants to jump around in a bear suit, who cares? People get over yourselves.

Frank, you are a fucking 100% grade A ignoramous.

Enjoy the new Nickelback CD.

Ok so maybe it is a little silly for JM to dress up as a bear, BUT the guy sure can play the guitar!

Now if he played with the paws on- even have paws with claws with no pick- I’d be mighty impressed.

frank,

that is some funny sheet

If you are a dude and own a John Mayer CD or have seen him in concert, you might want to check your ass hole. There might be a cock in it.

Mayer can’t sing and writes sappy songs. He is very talented with the guitar when he wants to be.

That is the same bear costume that John wore before one of his tours in the US! He would go around the parking lot in the bear costume and make fun of John Mayer songs even though he was in the outfit. It was hilarious if you have ever seen footage on it! He is a great singer/songwriter with a brilliant sense of humor!

John Mayer never has taken himself to serious, now the rest of us have just cause to do the same.

Do you think she made him wear that suit while he loaded up her luggage and tour equiptment?

Mayer can’t sing. Shut the fuck up and play Hendrix cover songs. That’s all your good for. The king of sap.

Bear hot for Crow.

John will always amaze me with the way that he thinks about the world. The irony of Sheryl playing with a man in a bear suit is priceless. I only wish he would have done it at their show I attneded.

this is unabashedly stupid

hmmm…John Mayer….Who cares?

Aawwww!

Why a Bear? Why not a clown, racoon, or beaver. A beaver– that I would like to see.
