Post by: Smooth Groove on May 12, 2007, 10:28:02 AM: John Mayer's songs are boring. They sound like songs for 50 yr olds. I don't know how the hell he scores with chicks like Jennifer Hewitt and Jessica Simpson.

Please, there a much larger abundance of shitty hip hop than there is metal. The biggest reason being the mainstream eats it up.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on May 12, 2007, 02:57:31 PM: That song is quite amazing. Malek, you don't like it? I'd be surprised if you didn't, because to me it's one of the best modern takes on the blues.

Sounds pure enough to be of the 60's or 70's, but original enough to not be considered a total rip off.

Uh, no they're not. Critically acclaimed doesn't equal album sales son.

Mayer is one of the best talents in rock today, and he'll be around for a long time.

One of us, Michelle, has a genius level IQ. One of us has known the touch of several women. One of us does not believe in creationism. One of us also has taste.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on May 12, 2007, 08:54:33 PM: The man can play guitar....in fact, he's one of the better guitar players out there. In that regard, he gets my respect. His Bold As Love cover is quite good.

Post by: Cyanista on May 12, 2007, 09:03:30 PM: So what? Brian Setzer rocks the NUTS off a guitar, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to Jump, Jive and Wail.

John Mayer should be burned simply for the irritatingly saccharine inanities that drip from his lips.
Title: Re: gravity by john mayer is the worst song ever made
Post by: TakingBackSunday on May 12, 2007, 09:16:23 PM: Never said I liked him. As a guitar player, I respect his ability. But I'm not gonna go out there a buy all of his shit.

You people are fucking intense about this shit–the man has an audience, let him cater towards it. It may not be to you're liking or really at all like the genius of some artists that you all love, but the man has a talent in his craft. Guitar player is just his thing, and it's a shame that he chooses to display his influence on pop music than on his actual ability to play. Big deal though, it's not like he's pissing me off–cause I don't listen to him.

And Brain Setzer rocked in the Stray Cats
Title: Re: gravity by john mayer is the worst song ever made
Post by: ToxicAdam on May 12, 2007, 09:29:37 PM: I haven't liked anything of his recently, but "Room for Squares" is almost a perfect album. Lyrically, it's one of the best coffeehouse albums ever made.

[youtube=425,350]GP5gWbyuXrs[/youtube]

From that album, this song is '3x5'. From a lyric perspective it is almost flawless ... the progression of the music and how it builds into the end is amazing.

As others have said, he is a terrific, versatile guitar player and a great live performer (something Fiona Apple is not). But he has also made some incredibly corny, wince-worthy music (Body is a Wonderland, Daughters, etc). So I understand why people dismiss him.
Title: Re: gravity by john mayer is the worst song ever made
Post by: Cyanista on May 12, 2007, 09:34:49 PM: I wasn't offering up Fiona Apple as some sort of musical paragon (though I have to say her songwriting > Mayer's).

The video was a warning, gosh.
Title: Re: gravity by john mayer is the worst song ever made
Post by: ToxicAdam on May 12, 2007, 09:50:29 PM: Well, Fiona Apple is godly. No doubt. It's a shame she is so crazy and can't perform live.

My problem with her, is you don't really know where her talents ends and her producers begins. They have been together for the whole time .. and it's hard to discern who's responsible for what.
Title: Re: gravity by john mayer is the worst song ever made
Post by: Mupepe on May 12, 2007, 10:01:31 PM: i've made out with her and discerned that her main talent is swatting my tongue with her tongue like a baseball bat.
