John Mayer - S.O.S. Cover (Message in a Bottle)

[mjndblain]

he isent even playing it properly XD

[theshingles100]

kept waiting for him to go higher like sting and play the full guitar riff

[RcEdits]

@theshingles100 sting plays bass.

[DialecticEclectic]

I love the Bjork cover at the end.

[zzJayBoy]

MOAR COWBELL

[drkbrth]

His voice is so incredibly unique. I think that's the main reason i love his music so much.

[HongKoon93]

Great cover, original rocks my ass more though

[drewmeglin]

anyone know if theres a download to this anywhere?

[rmijares97]

please sub in my chanel

[tandrkalo93]

It is a good cover but original is much better

[MusicMeUpBaby]

wooooooaaaah, he is so brilliant at covers it's insane.

[liuhouse1]

JM is a GOOD guy , but this cover is gay

love the original version...

[JamieMoggridge]

@liuhouse1 Gay? It's not..in anyway...

[Llamasteal]

It needs more cowbell

[DamaniMusic]

this cover is brilliant!

[waukktownfolkks6]

Wooowww love it

[ilikevideos0831]

since when is this song called sos

[iZenZation]

Some one pleaaase make a good tutorial on this version...>,<

[MusicMeUpBaby]

he is just so clever. I can't wrap my head round how inspired his music is.

[purpleclutchtv]

I don't care if John's fans don't know who the police are, I just know that John Mayer can turn anything bad into good :)

[darkvasta]

4.57 : Bjork !

[ipilincoln1515]

I think it's awesome how John is bringing these classics to younger audiences. Have you heard his cover of Bold as Love?. Man that's awesome, a great honoring the greatest.

[DISPENSER4HIRE]

Good cover. For those who think he changed it too much, what is the point of doing a cover, and trying to sound like the original?? Unless you are a cover band, playing at the local bar.

[Jimmy007mg]

LOL 1:11



[CRBanfield]

This was actually in bridge point, Connecticut

[DeadpoolX9]

It lost the power of the song.

[iamloco1989]

1:28 me sex in le bottle

[mundimusic23]

Hi !

What do you think about it ?

Have a great day !

MUNDI

[MusicMeUpBaby]

awkward moment when this has more views than the original... very good though!

[Jmp153]

wanna thank john for gettin me turned on to bjork, with this song a beautiful and priceless gift, plus all his great music too

[DCow000]

Somebody tell those kids to shut the hell up. The Who did.

[triclone123]

No deal!

[spamhead2k]

pause at 1:32

[Peom1]

John always knows. Always.

[danvee5]

Anyone know what kind of guitar that is?

[lolp321]

@danvee5 CF Martin

[ryandsz2699]

@nirvanamkp......i dont think its essential to noe hu the police are to enjoy this song..or for tht matter i dont think its reqd to noe the composer of a song bfore u enjoy it....

[ParanoidDroid26]

@ryandsz2699 Of course its essential.. how else can you appreciate the art he is recreating. a cover is more appreciated when you learn to love the original and scream out loud when you see someone like Mayer play it.

[nirvanamkp]

i bet this whole audience doesnt know who the police are.

[FredeGredde]

@nirvanamkp, the cops, right?

[Pokemuma]

@nirvanamkp hey can you STFU! GO HATE ON A VIDEO WHERE SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE TALENT.

[nirvanamkp]

@Pokemuma first of all, i love john mayer so you can shove that up your ass. second, i was only saying that the audience members dont know the music that inspired john mayer or any of todays musicians. which is really sad so back off asshole.

[Pokemuma]

@nirvanamkp I LOVE trolling

[sendme68]

@nirvanamkp haha i bet your right cause its all 20 year old girls. They don't even know how good John is, or the police or anything good for that matter. they just think he's hot...or something idk. Its all wasted on them.

[ct92404]

@sendme68

Age is no excuse though. I talked to a 15 year old kid a few days ago who knew exactly who The Police were.  And there's a video on YouTube of a Swedish kid doing a really damn good cover of "Roxanne" and another kid who made a pretty cool video for "Darkness" (another Police song).

Also, I have a box set of Simon and Garfunkel songs, even though they were around LONG before I was even born. Emo kids claiming they don't know about something because they're "too young" is BS.

[ct92404]

@nirvanamkp

You're probably right...but you never know. I've seen so many covers by other singers and bands where the audience goes nuts as soon as they hear a few lines and recognize the song. "Message In A Bottle" is one of the most well known songs in the world. The Police are so well known that probably everyone has heard at least a few of their songs at some point, without knowing who they were. They really were that big and that influential.

[jwalk121]

@ct92404 funny thing is, maybe MAYBE half the audience knows this song....hes good but lets not go far from the truth...sell out, and sell out audience like people who wouldl literally suck drakes dick and actually like niki manaj

[beastofburden90]

@nirvanamkp Good thing they aren't at a Police concert

[JWTWTSJFK]

@nirvanamkp Didn't John Mayer write this song?

[cocopopsbrahhh]

@JWTWTSJFK no. this song was written by the police in 1979. this is just an acoustic interpretation.

[bnyce52]

@JWTWTSJFK really?

[JWTWTSJFK]

@bnyce52 lort SCRAMBLE

[Geotubest]

@JWTWTSJFK Your'e kidding right? Music did exist before JM you know.

[MusicMeUpBaby]

@nirvanamkp They probably think that it's a new unreleased song by him..

[MB1206]

1.11 ..WTF?

[wetyuppy]

I'm not hating, and the reason I'm looking up John Mayer is because I have this weird thing I do that gets me to look up Grammy winners and nominees, so don't say "THEN WHY THE FUDGE DID YOU LOOK HIM UP, IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIM?" because I just explained. Constructive Feedback: If he used strong support he wouldn't need to make out with the microphone and make his lips trip over his tongue. But his musicality is pretty sweet.

[CicPeace]

I was listening to this and could not understand where the female vocie came from until I left a blog which aperently had music in the background...

[prozacksattaxx]

somebody gimme a water bottle, so i can throw it at him

uh-huh huh huh huh

[legatotechniques]

like it

[laxball535]

is john mayer tall as fuck or is that guitar just small. or am i just an idiot and wrong about both

[SrdjanGuitar]

@laxball535 He is pretty tall,6' 3" or 190 cm.

[goopipoopie]

@laxball535 hes tall about 6'3

[goldenmen24]

@laxball535 hes not only tall but that martin guitar hes playing one of there smaller versions

[Triniz5]

Hey guys plz check out my friend's link and cover of "your body is a wonderland" Hes rly talented. Thnkz!! :) Just search Brokensilence51 n clik on the vids

[Nadeenactyl]

what is he trying to do? 1:31 - 1:35 lol

[schmdtyman]

@Nadeenactyl That, my friend, is called an orgasm.

[TheBlackMessiah]

better than john butler trio.



[vdeferens]

@TheBlackMessiah That's not hard.

[ninosk81]

is that a martin's guitar?

[ilivestrong25]

@ninosk81 yup! the only brand of acoustic he plays

[philWynk]

Very nice arrangement. Mayer has enormous hands; I tried to play what he was playing and pretty much punted.

[xXblythe]

@philWynk I don't know much about music or covers and I readily admit that... but don't you think he changed it TOO much?? I could barely recognize the song

[philWynk]

@xXblythe I'm barely familiar with the original. But in any case, I don't care much whether it's similar or different. I'll judge a piece of music by what it does musically, what it does emotionally, and what sort of performance it is. This is a great song and a good performance. If you say the version by the Police was different and really good, I'll take your word for it.

BTW, I heard Sting do a version on acoustic guitar, and it was similar to Mayer's, so I uess he can't be too far off...

[stuvz86]

@xXblythe changed it? what are you talking about, have you heard the song? listen to sting do an acoustic version very similar.

[vdeferens]

@xXblythe Dude it was unmistakable from the first 4 bars.

[TheChoreia]

oh shi...

[erickoso2188]

wet and ready to mate...im a dude btw

[carguyzo6]

@erickoso2188 this made me lol 

[erickoso2188]

@carguyzo6 this made me wet

[musicandlove516]

wtf is at 1:11? anyways.... this is beautiful.

[lionelff12]

@musicandlove516 The publicity before is not beautiful --'

[CKMunsta]

@musicandlove516 someone pretending to be a seagull I think...

[GreenLayra]

めちゃせつなくなる声や～～～この歌大好き！！！ジョンいいよね­～～～

[moisespedrici1]

ISSO SIM DEVERIA SER MÚSICA CLÁSSICA

[jonaron29]

I also wonder why people always need to compare a cover to an original. Its not a competition. The man likes the song and sings it from the soul. A song has a life of its own once its out there.

[jonaron29]

It would be nice if people understood the difference between talent and taste. You may not like this, but to deny that the man is very talented is pretty silly. I am sure that if you surveyed 100 serious musicians who did not have their heads up their as$es, they would all agree that he is a very talented musician, whether or not they like his music.

[Rossco9992]

wost cover I've heard in a while.

[fantom681]

I hate the police they keep pulling me over for no reason

[fantom681]

Dont do cover songs that shits already been cover'd 

[MMKursch]

I love John Mayer's covers, like Free Falling, but this time I gotta say: I prefere the original...

The Police ROCK btw!!!

[taartaarsaus]

damn his voice is so sexyy

[SouthEasternLoey]

MY teacher asked me :what's you favorited rockstar?

me: John mayer

[joe1969812]

Man he would be good if he could learn to sing.

[MrJoaoLem0s]

i didn't like it :/

[bjhMus1C]

@MrJoaoLem0s lol, silly boy.. turn on the volume before you watch the video

[MrJoaoLem0s]

@bjhMus1C no, i'm serious, i like john mayer, but, i think this song is better on sting's voice

[bjhMus1C]

@MrJoaoLem0s that's cool.. i think it's a good cover though

[MrJoaoLem0s]

@bjhMus1C meh, its your opnion, i respec it ;)

[AndreitaOlivetti2009]

if only John Mayer could sing to me like that in the ear....OMG...

[edvinaas13241]

was he shitting?

[xman51000]

ONLY hope can keep me together.............

[csheefel3]

just fucking beautiful

[joshthehawk1]

I am lost at sea ohhhh..

[MrCilantro95]

he jizzed in 1:32

[whpriol1]

Not a bad job, but as is usually the case covers are not better than the originals.

[psurollsovau]

gotta love how the fuckn teenage idiots just stand there while one of the best songs ever written is performed beautifully.

[voodooblueskid]

@psurollsovau what should they do sit down?

[psurollsovau]

@voodooblueskid , maybe get into the show a little bit, always amazes me when people pay to go to a concert and act like theyre at home

[GibbyCanes]

@psurollsovau If I can name 1,000 songs that are better, does it still count as one of the best songs ever written?

[joshthehawk1]

@GibbyCanes Why certainly!!

[legatotechniques]

awesome

[tmoneeyy]

horrible absolute crap

[alexoburke503]

@tmoneeyy just like the music that you probably like.

[tmoneeyy]

@alexoburke503 your right i do like crap NOT but your entitled to your opinion plus my fav bands have been around for 30+ years so i don't think there crap if they have been around that long

[123browny456]

i think sting would be proud of that!!

[ericmcq3121]

Some of you guys can hate on him if you wish. Who knows if he's really an asshole but no matter what, don't even deny that this man shouldn't have been born with all the talent he has. He is inhuman.

[videomania100]

nice cover. sting is a hard act to follow though. there's an L.A. band that does this song but they do it with a bossa nova beat.  pretty amazing arrangement.

u gotta type in window manteca in a bottle

John, if you're listening, take a look.

[jonaron29]

@videomania100

This is a bossa nova. This is an excellent example of one of the best uses of the guitar that originates in Brazil.

[AmbersMustache]

frotttth

[Albo1234567891]

S.O.S Cover?

[xCarlinee]

prachtig

[Magickme43]

this is so dam sexy!

[jezusmniekocha123]

STING TO ZROBIŁ ZNACZNIE LEPIEJ I TYLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Próba czystego śpiewania.... koleś to zwykły klaun.

[jezusmniekocha123]

ŻAŁOSNE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Giulianeo]

press 2 for Tarzan...

[Ornido101]

epileptic.. damn...

[DMRCapitalHill]

Damn his voice is amazing

[asdfghjess01]

the expressions that he makes singing lol.

love this cover tho <3

[ladicius]

i sense there are many vaginal units within a 100ft radius. ...many (all) of them prepared for mating rituals.

[abc140290]

@ladicius haahah

[MrFendertele55555]

@ladicius lmfao

[kabluwi]

No where as good as the original, he annoys the shit out of my, he looks constantly like he's taking a big shit will crying, sounds like it too

[GhostGuerrilla]

@kabluwi then why do you watch his videos you fucking retard

[kabluwi]

@GhostGuerrilla I wanted to see what it sounded like, is there a problem with that?

[edcoll61]

Great cover, and Sting is also pretty awesome....257 people just don't get it...what a shame.

[nietorm]

99% dont know he ended it with bjork

[greyseagirl]

@nietorm I love anyone that can blend The Police and Bjork together, especially when it's my favorite Bjork song. He's like a walking song encyclopedia.

[nietorm]

@greyseagirl joga on repeat on runs keeps you going..

[nietorm]

1 min 20 sec....the time it took for 90% of the tween fans to realize its not a john mayer song.....maybe longer

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

I would poop on his guitar.

[bruso7]

257 people need to press unmute

[feyenoordole5]

It saddens me that the majority of those young girls probably won't even recognize this song.. Still better then nothing I guess. Thanks for educating them John! Great cover!

[maybeimjusthappy]

@feyenoordole5 completely agree with you.

[tubesoxabc]

love the police! love this song! i just found another cool band that covers it with a latin vibe. great arrangement. ck them out

search manteca in a bottle

[karaspana]

Man

Much BETTER than Sting !

[salima13sss]

leuk♥, alleen wat heeft ie aan???

[eowli]

id do him

[7joreyn]

one of my favourite songs! 

[termsofusepolice]

Mayer is to electric guitar what Kenny G. is to the saxophone. Whether it's Hendrix, SRV or the Police, no one can turn great, heartfelt rock'n'roll songs into cheesy elevator music like Johnny!

[InfiniteTestings]

@termsofusepolice Sorry bro.. That's an aucoustic guitar..

[mtills46]

I raped the replay button.
