  • wow! everyone shut the hell up and listen

  • John's 1st solo was overall better, but I believe Slash showed the blues-rock feeling better in his solos. Mayer's solos were cleaner, probably because he learned from the best, SRV.

    Great fucking video nonetheless, wish I was there!

  • lets all be honest here. if you can't figure out which solo was sloppy and which one was played as clean as possible where's your ear for music. not saying this makes one better than the other but certainly one solo better

  • all my fav guitarists on one stage!

  • hahahahaha this is so a competition! billy gibbons even tries to get the crowd to decide who is better

  • shut the fuck up everybody...mayer and slash are amazing ! stop!

  • im not sure any body kicked anyone ass.. this whole vid was KICK ASS<

  • I liked John's solo better than Slash's but they are all guitar-playing machines anyways, loved the video and the song.

  • John Mayer stands out dressed wise

  • @herrolsen

    No you can't say like this.

    Look at Slash solos in Guns N Roses . There are all great.

  • @ellbrek they are great fits for the songs, but pretty mediocre in general in my opinion.

  • slash is the best , best image, a real rockstar , mayer looks like a gay faggot he has no image, fuck you all haters gnr all the way .

  • @shadowkrypton that was one of the stupidest comments I have ever read

  • @musicislife596193 comes from a retard that comments an a lday gaga video that she sucks and from on idiot who spend his time going on jb videos and commenting that he sucks, what a retard

  • @shadowkrypton John is dressed like a blues musician. Shirt and tie, what the fuck are you talking about?

  • @herrolsen Well, I can't help my self but you're totally right. ;)

  • JM kicks Slash's ass any day

  • To all Mayer haters! Have you played with ZZ Top, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy etc... NO! So shut the fuck up!

  • It took me about a thousand times of watching this to realize that Billy Gibbons is wearing two different colored shoes

  • Haha!!!! Top ten guitarist of all time compared with jm????? U guys r sick!!!!! Slash rocks better n jm blues It better!!!

  • Anyone who says Slash is overrated is an idiot. Just plain & simple. He's not in his prime anymore, but he's a world-class player and one of the best to ever strum the strings.

  • I saw the other video, this one is basically Slash getting his ass kicked by JM from another angle. :)

  • Slash kinda messed up, John Mayer was really good, but every musician has their off day..

  • Everybody has to take a big bowl of shut the fuck up!

    They are both great players

    No one cares who did better. if it's about that then you don't know shit

    About music

    When I'm on stage I'm there because I love

    To play and want to have fun , so guys , please

  • I seriously think Slash sounded way too sloppy on this. Mayer dominated

  • @herrolsen despite you think, most of the ppl think differently!!!

  • i solo over this when slash is playing but when john mayer starts i stop and watch so i can watch a true master at work XD

  • Here. I'll settle this argument ... Johnny Winter (his lifetime history) is better than than all opf them put together, and that's the truth ... Lolllllllllllllllllllll ,,, Go Johnny Go,,, Go Go

  • Slash was inducted into the guitar rock and roll hall of fame, while still alive (one of the only guitarists to be given such an honour), because he kicks ass. Mayer is a legend, already... to watch both of them play with ZZ Top is an experience that would last a guitar players life time. Anyone who says different has never picked up an guitar.

  • why are people arguin? everytime a person picks up a guitar and learns to play blues or rock or whatever, the style is reinvented EVERY TIME, to say one guitarist is better than another is just stupid, im not saying every guitarist is great, but they are different. not to mention the simple fact that billy gibbons and zz-top had both mayer and slash on with them should be enough to justify them both as more than notable musicians.

  • @Tideria correction, every guitarist has a different style but not every one of them has groove

  • @Disco234jockey cant argue there

  • good googly moogly

  • Slash is overrated but at least he has a sack!

  • Billy is, and will always be, THE DADDY!

  • All I'm sayin is I saw some guy jfesbalogna or some shit say that slash was way better at guitar because he looks like an asshole did drugs collected std's , not to mention mayor droped out of berkley, he makes gay music to get ass, along with money doesn't look like a fuckin dick4 and can hang with dave chappell, as well as tear a fuckin guitar a new ass so just to make a point I'm guna end it with slash was in guns and roses end of disscussion.

  • @HoodFromTheWoods666 as much as i dont like john mayer, most people drop out of berklee. you find a band to play with and leave. it's how it works.

  • Hey, retards! This is music. Not a contest.

    Enjoy watching three amazing guitarists jam and hang out!

  • And jfbcrespo slash is in guns and roses that's what the devil plays in hell to make everyone misserable

  • Hey 25rags... WELL SAID 2 comments down

  • Listen to this

    John Mayer 2010 Tour- GRAVITY part II

  • while john mayer was spending millions of dollars in school Berklee College of Music in Boston, Slash went to spend them on drugs and women because these dollars gained by learning and yes even needed no lessons to learn what John learned ...

    john is good I know it, I'm not dumb but slash is much better than him ...

    moreover, the slash is better than anyone ...

    rock'n'roll is not in the books, rock and roll lives up ...

  • @jfbcrespo slash seriously sucks ass

  • @25Ragz Show me 1 reason!!!

  • @jfbcrespo haha this video is proof that he sucks.

  • @25Ragz No the second floor does not say that

  • @jfbcrespo idc what the second floor says.Slash is the most overrated guitarist of all time. He's a terrible musician.It's all good though man...like who you want.

  • @25Ragz What is certain is that it defined a decade, another proof that Axl Rose has three guitarists in Guns N'Roses to make his turn ... Finally Slash has thousands of hits mythical, and not John ...

  • @jfbcrespo hahahahaha shut up man. Slash is a dbag... He's such a fag with his gay hat and fake guitar playing he has no soul and he is terrible at guitar playing.End of discussion.

  • @25Ragz It's hard to hear the truth, I know ... And you are saying this he means that you have no more arguments, then face the reality ... slash is better than john

  • @jfbcrespo hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha­haahahahahahahahaha

    Slash is better than John? You have to be retarded. I don't waste my time arguing about music dick face... everyone likes different stuff.. I especially don't argue with dumb asses that think Slash is good.

  • @25Ragz u are arguing in that statement u dumb fuck

  • @DragonBoyAC was i?

  • @25Ragz Slash is not good, Slash is God!!!

  • @stradlin62 You must be the dumbest piece of shit in the world.Slash isn't even better than me.

  • @25Ragz blah, blah, blah, blah. You must be bursting with envy about Slash, uh?btw, If I could I'd kick your ass for being so asshole

  • @stradlin62 If you could kick my ass...but you can't because you're a retarded little bitch.

  • Mayer wins.

  • It's clash of guitars not Guitarists!!!

  • I just think the Torch was passed on to Mayer. Give him 10 years and Mayer will have legendary status with Slash, Clapton, Page, King etc. I mean hes already playing legendary music. Just sayin!

  • mayer it´s not playing a tele, it´s a cabronita special fender custom. I recognize that in this one it plays a great solo. But come on, a bad night for slash doesn´t borrow the fact that the appetite for destruction guitar play it´s amazing. That´s undeniable. Whatever he do now, it doesn´t matter. He became a legend with that record.

  • @herrolsen He is. And I love his GNR work. But Mayer is just so well rounded, amazing player.

  • @Gugaa94 sorry, but I vote for the legend

  • Comment removed

  • @25Ragz by legend i meant Billy Gibbons... yes, slash sucks!

  • john grooves better than anyone there. with a telecaster no less.

  • haha john mayer @ 3:44 like: "What? Oh, we're doing that part now."

  • @herrolsen you gotta understand that Slash's history llayas mainly in the Blues...so most of his riffs and solos were mainly blues style

  • john blew slash away

  • one of the most underrated guitarists VS one of the most overrated guitarists

  • John Mayer officially gave her mouth would stop playing, I'd slash the site :D

  • I really like Slash and think he is an awesome guitarist, but he wasn't in it this time, it happens you know. The other two are amazing though ;)

  • @MusicHyde Slash took the big L on this one...he wasn't on a marshall and stuff...jus not his moment lol John Smoked him

  • johnnnyyyy mayerrrr1!!whew!

  • MAYER IS DA PLAYER!

  • n't beat the sound of the fender

  • Slash is way out of tune. You'd think for a guy thats been playing so long he could retune it as he played. Mayer can.

  • @herrolsen Totally agreed. Slash really isnt THAT good. He's fast but thats about it.

  • slash is just out of tune that is all probably either drunk or sabotaged.

  • Slash may be a legend but Mayer owned

  • @msutubeloveruk Tottaly owned

  • Why don't you faggots shut the fuck up and enjoy th fucking music! It's a beautiful combination of awesome musician, nobody is trying to fuck in the ass nobody it'a just a jamming session. You are just a bunch of kids that do not understand nothing about music.

  • at 3.00 Billy leans to speak to slash with Mayer is going for it, do you think he said, "if this boy can play like this, why does he make such sterile shit music!!!!"

  • @MrEwant1980 Are you kidding me?? The question is what kind of sterile shit music fo you like?

  • Billy G - legend, Slash - skillful, Mayer - soulful. I vote for the soulful one :D

  • @Gugaa94 what the hell is skillful about slash? hes been doing nothing but shreding feellessly over there, i can find 1400 guitarists on youtube that could do that while sounding 10 times better than him.

    hes nothing close to what he was on GNR.

  • @YaWhatever Totally agree with U !!!

    JM is so much better! When he 50's like Slash, people will find embaracing compare him to slash

    P.S. Sorry for the bad English!

    Peace =)

  • @Gugaa94 Slash certainly doesnt sound skillfull in this one

  • Comment removed

  • Out of leather jackets and les pauls.. you see the nerdy boy with the fender =D

  • @TheGrantCave agreed

  • This is fuckin amazing!!!!

  • Listen to Mayer's recent solo on gravity. It's just way beyond his level you see in this video

  • Slash fucked Mayer on that last solo he played, damn.

  • even billy gibbons wear converse!

  • @666mundvij One red and one white?

  • AWESOME....BLOODY STUNNING. thanks, i just loved it all.not many people have heard of john mayer over here, shame. he great, everyone know's slash/ zz top but not john. thanks for sharing x

  • John mayer is God!!!

  • @oinotnAseyeR Oh come on now. That is just ridiculous. It's one thing for Clapton to be called God since he is really a gifted musician. Mayer is nowhere near that level.

  • @indian5 o solo lo dije por decirlo...

  • any body can tell me whats that chord he's playing at 3:21 onwards?

  • @waynechanhaoran pretty sure it's an E that he's playing off of the 7th fret. Very similar to SRV in "Cold Shot".

  • John plays licks from SRV's version of little wing at 6:30...theif! :)

  • Mayer is unbeliavable! just amazing!!

  • In the long run of things, slash was a better guitar player IN HIS PRIME. Appetite for destruction proves that. mayer has nothing guitar wise that can compete with that. but now i think mayer is defintly more in his prime and in the zone then slash is (at least in this vid)

    but in the studio slash owns

  • @geetarist666

    Well John Mayer holds back in studio. When he does live concerts, thats when he goes nuts

  • @peacequinto John held back in this too...this was nothing for John... hes the best.

  • Wrong scale for Slash, he's not a blues man. Respect to him for giving it a shot but he's out of his comfort zone. Mayer manages better but it's total chaos all the way... bless!

    Something like this reminds you JUST HOW GOOD ZZ really are. they make it look so easy. ;-)

  • @mcp666 Yes he is? He plays blues scales all the time...?!

  • @SlayerPagey Maybe he's having an off day then cos it's bum notes all over his licks.... jeez, glad I got that the right way around? ;-)

  • @mcp666 Haha love that

  • ahh i hate slash so much, most over rated guitarist of all time and he plays like such a douche, john mayer shreds

  • @iliketoshredd

    listen to appetite for destruction bud. his solos theyre are fuckin unreal

  • @iliketoshredd douchebag to the 10000000th degree.

  • look ... slash got overowned seriously , slash doesnt have the blues in him , well he got it but the most bluesmans is ZZtop and JM ofc slash is like reject here prouve it ? i don't remember is solo ! XD

  • It's hard for a blues fan to not have mixed feelings about John Mayer. On the one hand he's a great blues player when he wants to be, on the other, he plays douchey pop music. Would you make up your mind please, so we can either love you or hate you?

  • @jonathan1stewart I think John Mayer is a bluesman, he has to make poppy music to make money...It's not that he hates pop music, but if you listen to his interviews you'll notice that he'd rather be making blues all day long ;)

  • the reason slash didn't play as good as john mayer was cuz his guitar was so fucking low. PICK THAT SHIT UP SLASH LOL MAYBE YOU'LL PLAY BETTER!

  • The fender just dosen't seem to fit next to all those Gibsons

  • Music isn't a competitive event! John and Slash were asked if they'd like to jam with ZZ Top, and they accepted. John and Slash play different genres of music: John plays mostly blues/blues based music, while Slash plays primarily hard rock. John's playing style fits well with ZZ Top, but if the tables were turned and John and Slash were asked to sit-in/play with a hard rock band, which player sounded and played better would be different.

  • @gasforus oh my god I think you're the smartest person to have commented here so far.

  • @biggy484 I do believe you are right! :-D

  • i am prolly as big a slash fan as you can get but john mayer blew him outta the water hahah, slash can play but idk what happened there

  • slash's playing has no soul in it

  • i love that shot at 3:07 where all three of em are watching john in awe

  • @XxmynameboratxX yesss John is my hero!!

  • @XxmynameboratxX no they're thinking to themselves, what a wanker.

  • I feel sooo sorry for Slush..his career is done he looks so dated and ashamed by some preppy college lookin kid who hoped on stage...then at the end he plays some cheesy 80s licks its really funny...

  • John Mayor deffinately played the guitar best here, But slash deffinately looked the coolest here. : D

  • joe bonamassa owns this two

  • @omarfusion bonamassa is garbage...

  • @konshess garbage is probably what your head is filled with.... my god 41 years old and you came up with that...get help now. good luck ;)

  • @omarfusion im 15 you ass!!!!

  • @konshess ohh poor child! hahahaha that explains a lot!!! 

  • @omarfusion Even Slush destroys Kermit BONOMOSSO...any day and Slush sucks!!

  • @konshess shut up and go play guitar hero

  • @omarfusion yesd love guitar heroooooooo...yayyyyyyyyyy

  • @omarfusion Ummmmm I have to say sometimes. I think John Mayer is an all around better musician

  • I've heard better John Mayer but let's face it. ZZ Top is a fun band but really not talented. Slash isn't even on the level as local bar talent! He make's many mistakes but the crap he plays is distorted and loud and often covers those misses.

  • @GHawthorne07 Fun maybe but not talented? Get a grip, Billy Gibbons is the only guitarist not making a hash on this stage. I'll not slate Mayer cos he hasn't been playing this song for 30 years but please, don't talk crap about ZZ. They may have sold out, they may have got old but they sure as hell were and are seriously talented. That's why your boys are having trouble up there. B-)

  • @mcp666 I assure you none of these guys up here are my boys! Mayer is the best of these three but the only reason I even heard this is because my children sent it to me! None of these are even in the top 30-40 best guitarists! I'm not into Pop. I'm not into punk nor am I into junk! That's what you have here!

  • I'm all speed when the song calls for it, but if you ever take a listen to John live, I mean a real listen, does he ever miss a note? The precision he has is remarkable and undervalued. Two blues players I wanna see on stage are John Mayer and Joe Bonamassa! That would be a KILLER show... people would come just to watch them play the guitar. They wouldn't even have to sing and the show would still be worth it! The solos in that show would be legendary haha

  • JM didnt even try and he still took a dump in all of ther faces

  • @25Ragz Not quite, he sucks.

  • @mikkelWestlarsen "slash can go home, with his bad solo, he really can not live up to Mayer's solo "

    Seriously dude, both Slash and JM have distinct different sick styles but to say Slash cannot live up to JM's solo is simply ignorant.

  • Slash is the king, john is very talented.

  • john mayer is a faggot and sings like a faggot.

  • John mayer is SRV reencarnated!

  • @ansem143 Now thats a big insult, you just said he is a copycat, with no originality.

  • Why isn't John Mayer camouflaged..? Why isn't he also wearing a silly hat and sunglasses(at night) ?

  • @mikkelWestlarsen Why those all that peoples say that! Don't forget how Slash play. November rain sweet child o mine and the impro of the godfather man how can you say thart he can go home. Bad day? I don#t know but i don#t think that mayer is better.

  • john mayer is GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

  • superior/inferior ... meh, frustrated people's terms ... it's just music ...

  • slash and jm prob my 2 most favourite guitarist.. slash being the legend. i really wish i got to witness this

  • OK all of you lot are missing the point.

    they just wanted to give a good show.

    which is what they did, they weren't trying to prove who was best.

  • Let's be fair here. This is NOT the blues, this is rock n roll. It may be bluesy rock, it's still rock. ZZ Top and Slash are rock LEGENDS. They have staple rock songs with guitar solos that everyone and their brother can sing by heart. Their music will be the standard for rock n' roll forever. Having said that, it's fair to recognize that they are NOT in their prime anymore. John Mayer is a good guitar player who is still young and eager and full of energy. He better outshine these guys!

  • @spazzguitar This is blues rock

  • @mikeike518 I know. I clealy wrote above that they play "bluesy rock".

    I would like to retract part of my statement however. I just saw Slash live yesterday, and he definitely IS STILL IN HIS PRIME!! FUCK!! That show was absolutely, in every way, completely fucking kick ass rock n' roll!!!!! Slash is better than ever these days. I was blown away.

  • anyone who says that slash plays without soul has obviously never seen the man play and probably hasn't checked out his new album.

  • is mayer playing a tele???

  • i wonder how long it takes Slash to do his hair....???

  • last solo slash does is just pure awesomeness. see billy there go like "!wth how does he do that stuff!?!", nods and smiles under the beard :) john mayer stands there baffeled and starstuck lol takes him like a minute to go out of rythmrole again:)) slash is KING

  • JM was startstruck lol slash kicked his ass by far on that last solo. thats bringing some awesome AND unique guitar playing to the crowd there slash. THANKS!!!

  • @havhog lol you can think what you want but slash is getting old and mayer just proved it.

  • jaysus...slash sounds like he's pissed ...well that's how i play when I'm smashed

  • Sounds to me like Slash is trying to rock more than blues on this. For his stuff that's fine, but for ZZ Top, you gotta bring the blues like Billy. You can't just be a rock or heavy metal guitarist with a name and hang with the likes of Billy gibbons. It's like "rock gods" going to NYC to the Iridium when Les was alive and getting their asses handed to them by a 90 y/o man!

  • Wow John mayer did a solo with ZZ TOP.....if he can play a decent solo why does all his music sound so gay. Mayer is a fag. He should have played the song on his knees in worship of the talent in front of him.
