Message in a Bottle - John Mayer Live (Any Given Thursday)

[KROBB19]

Has anyone ever noticed how huge his hands are?!

[TheJabbawockeez12341]

@KROBB19 hes 6ft 3in tall.

[KROBB19]

@TheJabbawockeez12341 Yea, I never really paid attention to how he looked until now. lmao

[mikkiebtjonk]

hmm i am getting the feeling that john is kind of making every song the same -_-

[KiichiIsanu]

I can't believe some of the comments I'm hearing here. Some of you are saying the John ruined this song because "his style isn't even close to The Police" or that he doesn't have any emotion because he's not running around on stage. Give me a break. Are you so close minded to the original song sound that you can't accept John's version, which if you can see his face and playing, happens to be filled with emotion. The beauty of music is that it can be played in different styles and still is great

[psjeev1]

@johncmayer he turned it on his own way...like that

[psjeev1]

he turned it on his own way...like that

[TonyBellardi]

è proprio bravo stu guaglione !

[hashcr]

wtf!!!! AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THAT THIS GUY RUINED THE SONG, ANT THAT HE TRULY SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUC­KS !!! ??? in what world we live in these days?

[Bk1TripleR]

@hashcr

Yes you are. I will buy you Justin Bieber concert tickets if you never blaspheme John again.

[chandlerhi]

does anyone know if he uses nylon strings all the time?

[ltuomela]

@chandlerhi no he docent...and he aint using them now...lol

[Femicide09]

I love what he did to the song. I don't care for much of his music but I love this.

[special420player]

WETTING HIS THROAT

[godswordsheal]

I'm almost certain he must have been sick during this concert cause his voice is much more "raw" than usual. Even his higher notes sound like he's got a sore throat, but great nonetheless.

[TheJuliusJT]

i love his overview and effortless playing and thinking

[kingmeng123]

the point of covering a song is to play it with your own style..there is no point covering if you're just going to play it exactly the same

[milnzee47]

He put his own spin on it, just like he did with Free Fallin' and I'm on Fire...his versions have their own uniquness to them...

[Codyw2011]

I think that he puts A LOT of emotion in his playing. Just because he isn't jumping off the stage or doing back flips, doesn't mean he doesn't show emotion.

[johnnnybruce]

Yeah, he is really focused on performing the song. A really good thing, he doesn't waste any time crowd surfing :P

[SDudleyMusic]

Haha, just slips in a Bjork reference at the end. Swish!

[googlemynoogle908]

what a great cover. i like that he sings this way. so like if someone trys to cover johns songs it allows you to sing it anyway and sound good still. And he does sound like dave but im sure john respects dave just like dave respects john. its hard not to respect two of rocks greats in this day and age.I just dont know why john makes those faces while he sings but hey who cares hes a great singer and guitar player and song writer so i cant complain

[MerryMystic7]

S Oh Shut up, haters.

[dooshette]

seems like he kinda stole his singing style off of dave matthews. they shouldve had his guitar louder on this too.

[steelers192]

dave is that fuckin man thats why

[steelers192]

the*

[caughtinheadlights]

nah dude hes goin for srv... even he admits it

[dooshette]

well he may be going for srv, but it sounds like matthews

[kawaiikaruson]

how do you steal a singing style? everyone has their own singing style

[GrHn77]

Yea, I kinda thought about that too....They have similar style

[Igerabide]

I love his natural delay on 3:08 !! JM is one of the most greatest musician of this days! :)

[Micevukeace]

Guitargenius, i know what you mean. Its like he really gets into his songs or he has tourettes (sp?)

[bbukfan]

Jóga by Björk works brilliantly.

[taylorswiftrox88]

i love this song and i love john mayer he's like one of the only good non annoying popsingers he's just idk wat kind of music is he??? i lovveeeee it♥

[guitarfrk123]

this is pretty damn good!

[bench1182]

i love this guy, he is awesome! love all his songs !

[Sophh43]

John Mayer is amazing.. What is he doing with his face in 1:23 ??

[Melponene1]

I think he is coming or something like that haha ;)

[Sophh43]

I really do not hope, that this is how you look, when YOU come!? ;)

[sandiegomarino]

hahahaahaha

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mattkyle777]

I have a theory that if you're a musician (like myself), the way you look when you play is closely related to how you look when you make love. if that's true, I would watch a John Mayer sex tape for the sole purpose of how funny it would be.

[asdfghjkll45678]

HAHA John Mayer's "O" face!!! haha..

[Jayplay17]

He's groovin' =D

[guitargenius1234]

What is he doing at 1:23? He is simply letting his brain succumb to subconscious actions produced by the magic of the music.

[asdfghjkll45678]

HAHAHA

[special420player]

@guitargenius1234 WETTING HIS THROAT

[willraz]

The point isn't to imitate Police, it's to take the song and make it his own, and he did. It may not be a Gravity, but i think he did a good job.

[mrdjjames]

That is why he is there and you and I are here. Damn Simple Guitars.

[eljarhead]

I love the Bjork lyrics at the very end of this version, from "Joga." Clever, John ... clever indeed.

[bexallround]

I love John Mayer but I have to say he sounds SOOOOOOO much better now than he did back then. His voice has gained a lot of maturity and sounds so much stronger.

[panicatthediscofever]

thisi s better JOhn Mayer is awesome.. people get over it.

[matraskop]

Bit Breathy=not very honest? Sounds like he recorded himself jerking off and styled his vocals on that sound? If you disagree listen to the original to hear Honesty in a human voice.

[moeller2010]

its live.

[tommydatubes]

dont go out of ur way to watch a video just so u can cut it down...put ur time to better use and stop annoying the shit everyone who likes john mayer

[matraskop]

I LIKE most of John Mayers stuff,thats WHY I was watching him play this song. I think he could have done a WAY better version with half the effort that he puts into this whispering disaster!He's a blues powerhouse,I think he lets himself down in this song!!

[jonaht777]

come on! it's not a whispering disaster....but ore importantly listen to his guitar work!!! I think it's better than the original

[Iliketoasttoday]

its pretty simple guitar work... I think he should stick to blues

[wannabefun]

it doenst matter wether it's simple or not, it only matters wether it sounds good, and it does, even though it aint blues

[UnimportantDreamer]

SOUNDS JUST AMAZING

[g4africa]

sting will never be equalled

[g4africa]

he is over rated ... just a weak cover freak

[moeller2010]

ok, hes covered free fallin and this. what about gravity, your body is a wonderland, bigger than my body, 3x5, say, waiting on the world to change..

[g4africa]

he is over rated.. just a cover freak

[TomasPaalman]

Well, personally i liek his version better then the Police's version

[galiiacopini]

I love JM, but I really dont like this cover...

[FiyaFlux]

I see what you're getting at.

It's not a great song, but I still think it demonstrates some of his best attributes. Such as being able to make a song his own.

This is actually the first song I heard from Mayer and now I have all his albums

[hgca]

frusc what do u wanna prove?, that you're an complete idiot who wouldn't see pure talent even if it knocked on your door and kicked u between ur legs? or something else?

[frusc]

nothing, am i not allowed to have an opinion? on this song, in my OPINION he is annoying althought you guys seem to be really defensive about john....is it cos he's shit? yes

[Henro56]

seriously your gonna put videos up playing a terrible bassline to a terrible song and then call john mayer shit

[frusc]

ok, so you think tool are terrible.. that's cool, i don't think they are..i think they're interesting, i do however think john sounds shit singing this song...big deal

[whitters1991]

ok great for you, but you obviously dont see real talent when watchin this video, this is good, its as simple as that

[Lotrfan99]

none of you guys obviously allow other oppinions so please stop the internet fighting. john mayer is good and tool is good aswell if you dont like john mayer then dont watch the fucking videos period

[androtechon]

knowone puts heart into their music like john mayer, he is unique in an extremely good way

[frusc]

his voice is fucking annoying

[guitarandrums]

fuck you too his voice kicks

[CrazyJoe2608]

He's ruined the guitars, the riff is the whole point of that song, still he gives it his own touch i suppose.

[wancaster]

god forbid he plays it exactly like the police.

jesus.

[fras1788]

i love comments by people who think they know music...end of story

[frusc]

the stretches would've been too much on an acoustic while singing...

[cridss]

I don't think that's the reason. Mayer can do anything on a guitar.

[frusc]

sorry, he does stretch and play the chord in parts, it would sound a bit less 'clean' if he'd have picked each note though...

[guitarandrums]

fuck you john mayer is incredible

[frusc]

yeh, incredibly annoying.....

[tyenmike]

agreed

[thatguysprotoge]

ugh

[Vega0900]

The Police are shite, however the song is brilliant, and this version is awesome.

[drumhaboy1000]

You are stupid.

The Police have inspired many and their music is brilliant. You have to be an inbred to think that The Police are shit. Sting has recorded with many amazing artists like Herbie Hancock and many others. Go drink bleach.

John is nothing short of amazing and played this song well... Very well!

[peaceattack89]

this is such a fantastic version of this song... i love the mini cover of bjork's "joga" that he throws in at the end too

[shellchik]

this guy sooo rox!!! im totally intrigued by him

[plaukutis]

i have it :) if u want i can send it to you

[alexarey2000]

he so awesome! But he shouldn't put his mouth to close to the mic.

[alexarey2000]

i like it more then STING'S version! Love Ya Mayer!!!

[Kaelan66]

The Police not sting

[bmoore734]

sting wrote it and he sang it solo after they broke up

[Kaelan66]

he didnt write the guitar riff or drum patterns, only the chords and lyrics

[duddde21]

love it

[gelinabacicommercial]

Awesome!

[lmdb1990]

he's so sexual, lol ... its a great cover though

[PBJfan2493]

JOHN MAYER ROX!

[xokatelynxo14]

excellent

[whitkelly]

so good.

[katexxoo]

its sexy.. thats why :)

[stroopAlooooop]

he's talented, but why does he whisper when he sings???

[mikescofeild]

he iz a mad artist i luv his music

[mcgee1516]

[Stupoopy]

Sure! If I have it.. I'll see, and message you

[mcgee1516]
