Man on the Side by John Mayer

[jakelong15]

what a different man he was then...no fashion sense, no celebrity girlfriends, no inflated ego...this is the person i idolized in high school and is part of the reason i'm a musician today...instead of "assassin" it was "my stupid mouth". he wasn't a lady killer, he was just another confused guy trying to make sense of his life and relationships

[RicardoEstevesMusic]

This would me so much cooler if the girls would shut the fuck up!

[stratkiller51]

A lot of people complain about mayers voice, but it doesnt bother me that much, its actually quite the breath of fresh air compared to the grunts and raspy, forced voices most blues guitarists or singers have nowadays. IMO

[mattrca]

how much do you want to bet that over half of the people didnt know what he was playing....lol

[bigdjindustriez]

He's become a much better singer and musician in general since this concert. His vocals are nowhere near as breathy and fake sounding anymore. The man is an excellent guitar player and lyricist, no matter what any jealous idiot thinks of him.

[mattrca]

@bigdjindustriez what do you mean by fake sounding?

[bigdjindustriez]

@mattrca Occasionally it just sounds like he's "putting on" that vocal sound instead of singing naturally

[mattrca]

@bigdjindustriez ok i understand what you mean. and i agree with you, he sometimes does it a little too much...

[theosu809]

@bigdjindustriez He admitted in an interview that during the making of room for squares, his voice hadn't really developed its own sound yet. He was trying to produce a sound, not just let a sound come out. That's why Continuum and Battle Studies sound much better vocally.

[Caleb48kb]

wow his voice has really improved over the years

[kofithedon]

John looks like a completely different human being now

[Treaty4]

He has a new song coming out titled" My talent is a mystery even to me." I know it is no secret, it is for the whole world to see. Talkin' about a fraud with a capital J+M, yeah that's me says John, even a mystery to me. Chorus: I am a no talent bum, but I am making money honey, come over here and be my bunny babe. Repeat three times.

[musicpleased]

@TheOrangemonkey21 HE (!!!) is so sexy :D

[TheOrangemonkey21]

[Sph134s]

This is beautiful

[canonkhalil]

[RacineRacineRacine]

He wrote Man On The Side, correct?

[guitarskater11]

second song he wrote in his life!

[RacineRacineRacine]

How do you knwo this?

And the first was..?

[guitarskater11]

i heard him say it in some vid on here look around for it..or it was in my itunes but yeah it was at a live concert he said it was about this girl he liked in college or something idk

[bmb5265]

im not a musician by any means but this man named John Mayer WILL be one of the greats, mark my text

[blalic]

he kinda already is ... :)

[McCoystyle614]

it kinda reminds me of come back to bed

[gabiicampii2014]

John Mayer is too good to be true!!! I would give anything to play guitar like him and he sings flawlessly! After buying "Where the light is" I decided that my life's goal will be to learn how to play guitar and sing half as well as he does now. I'll have fun reaching it :)

[sundave912]

Wish you all the best, I was inspired just like you and picked up the guitar, but I guess I should have started when I was in school. You are right, John Mayer is one of the greatest musicians of our times.

[MRstratman00]

very good lenny cover inserted into his song haha

[jonnycox001]

This live DVD was my musical instructor for 3 years... the biggest thing I notice he's improved on now is singing, which is great, but I'm glad he didn't go into the studio and fix any of the "rough"notes sung on this night. As he said, it wouldn't be called, Any Given Thursday" if he had.

I never even noticed the shaky notes at the time - I do now, but they are endearing. After listening to "Where the Light Is" - I know it all worked out in the end ;)

[bahaanaldo]

Theres going to be a hardcore SRV fan that gets mad at me for this, but I listened to the original Lenny and John Mayer's Lenny and I have to say...they sound almost exactly the same.

John Mayer was amazing in 2004 during this concert.

And he's 10 times better today.

Favorite artist ever.

[legendaryedge]

totally agree man. couldnt have said it better myself.

[tbroseiscool]

@bahaanaldo yo I'm definitely with you on this and you are 100% correct-- John is channeling SRV in certain moments. His hendrix cover of 'bold as love' and all the John Mayer trio stuff has a serious SRV tone to it.

PS that's ridiculously hard, SRV was an anomaly in the blues world.

[andyboterman]

From 1:45 to 3:00 is a Stevie Ray Vaughan cover called "Lenny" Very well done mind you...

[penn4tennis]

How many times do I have to see this and just come up with a face afterwards that nobody can make out?

[glfrancisjr]

6:20... the dude starts to solo with HIMSELF on his OWN song an bassing...

FREAKIN AMAZE ZING!

[Drewmeister72]

Alex i agree you cant learn that

[SKnDT92]

Every single one of his songs relates to a situation in my life. that is why i love this guy so much. his music is basically my life story. especially this song.

[AlextheCornishman]

2:17/2:50 - unreal

[penn4tennis]

Wow...John Mayer is amazing...

[nsrocker99]

haha i love his facial expressions

[4catwoman]
