So Long Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Jesus people, lay off Mayer. Aren't there bigger fish to fry? Don't make me turn this into a sociology lecture about the burden of being middle class and white. Yes, like Jimmy Vaughan. This man sucks. He's living off his brother's name. I saw him open for Dylan this summer...pathetic. Uses a capo on Texas Flood, and has the brightest, shittiest sound. He's a cocky bastard with bad tone.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 And look at all of you, telling John Mayer he can't do something because of the color of his skin. You should be ashamed. As a representative of the "you can potentially connect with any style of music regardless of your skin tone" camp, my problem with mayer isn't what he can't do but what he doesn't do. i'm sure you and other mayer fans won't argue me over what is personal preference, i just wanted to get that out there.

jff Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 thank you cryptique. i love how much respect you have for opinions. Comparing yourself "strumming the shit" out of your guitar with Hendrix's playing, and concluding that neither are good music is not an opinion. It is delusion.

Degenerex Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Although John Mayer looks like he is diseased when he sings, I have to admit he is a great guitar player. I got dragged into seeing his "trio" and enjoyed it, and also seen him perform "Dirty Laundry" at the Henley tribute. I always wished hell upon the man too, but I'm suspecting that people who are putting him down have only heard him singing about wonderlands and have never seen him play live. I also bet its because he is a white prettyboy. as far as the rest of the list, some good picks, but if your gonna include guitarists from Pearl Jam and Radiohead, why not throw in a little Dinosaur Jr. too? its only stretching it slightly...
