GRAVITY GUITAR DROP FAIL LOL!!! John Mayer Live

[burnsometrashcans]

hehe ... he handled it like a professional though

[k12modernwarfare]

Poor Black1. LoL. Luckily it's a Fender Custom Shop and it only costs $15,000.

[mrjuanvelasquez1]

That still hurt me a year and half later...

[mrneilinder]

Talk about build quality

[whitedevil2]

i came for the guitar drop

[MusicOfKeng]

OH NO!! THE BLACK ONE!?!! D:<

[DanielOnGuitar]

I was in this concert, I couldn't believe my eyes when he accidentally dropped the Black one!

[J0elN]

How ironic, a link to Free Fallin in the vid..

[thebasedrummer]

@J0elN HAHAHAHAHAHHA :D

[3ownsu]

I like how even when he drops it, the guitar seems to magically make a melody. haha

[kbui97]

That's gravity for you Mayer haha!

[winslowwong100]

even when he drops his guitar it's still getting sweet as tone

[jewelfewel]

it wasnt like a straight drop it was at an angle and bounced

[lewe18]

if that was cobain or hendrix that guitar would of been left or burned ..but mayer

oh no my guitar better pick it up i would of jumped on it and then burned smashed

you get the message people ...Rock Is Dead .

[Daniel7cmr]

@lewe18 this ain't rock, this is blues!

and Hendrix and Cobain would burn they guitar because they were on drugs...

JM is a great guitar player and knows how to take care of his instrument.

[spartanIII0324]

@lewe18 No rock isn't dead, but also this is blues based pop. Secondly, John actually built that guitar, physically went to the Fender Custom Shop, started the machining process on the body, sanded, painted. You sir are an abomination to what music is if you think destroying instruments is rock.

[drawerfunfun]

Oh my god I have guitars and play them a lot and I love them so much. God if I dropped one of them I'd freak out and be so embarrassed. When John dropped his, I freaked

[TheEdros]

wasn'ta big deal man you had me 4 minutes watching this

[tiddlemouse]

@TheEdros Noted, I have added the time code for the drop in the description if that's all someone wants to see.

[DMCD1992]

@TheEdros yeah he did put in the description lol

[wwe904]

Good job It as the black one! If it was the gold leaf one he'd be fucked!

[83ishgirl]

Wow his "black one" guitar suffered a concussion I think from that fall. Time to put it back in the freezer. I'm sure it got ungrounded again. LOL!! I would have been freaking out if that happened to me too. It's his own custom guitar with signature sound. Thanks for the footage. Awesome camera!

[ErikLavine123]

Thats gravity for sure.. lol

[chickenmarbles1]

thats ironic

[AndrySijabat]

Gitarnya jatuh, because of gravity....

[theRockCore]

OMG, Why the people don't understand...?

When the guitar knocks the floor (3:55), he was just starting "Who did you think I was" =)

And ok, this video starts at 3:40 and could have about 35 seconds length...

[officialmattgold]

guess gravity really was working against him..

[federicoperale]

that's actually....gravity....

[Jaklaps]

LOL!

[quenteo5]

He covered up well but.

[sportsportsport]

That would have pissed him off so much!!!!!!!!!!

[lucasvill31]

More like this is the most important song ive written because it gets me laid everynight

[jawzey]

a nice quote by Dick Dale about Stratocasters: "You know, you could win a barfight with one of these, and maybe.. just maybe, you gotta retune it".

[MlkePortnoy]

@jawzey You might be able to win a barfight without tuning it, but don't even think about touching the tremolo.

[MagicMusic3]

that wholeeeee time i was on the edge of my seat waiting for the strap to pop off on one side of the guitar because its happened to me countless times. nope, he dropped it trying to do star power but hey he played it off like a beast

[RomfordFluffy]

Keith Carlock's reaction pretty much said it all lol

[SatellitesAndStarsHQ]

Lol funny thing is his reaction is just like mine. When I drop a guitar I always stick my feet out to catch it for some reason

[bluesrockEd]

i loved the way he went to 'Castles Made Of Sand' at the end, so cool, brilliant guitarist

[punkdude543]

haha he recovered nicely, but the look on his face said he just shit a brick.

[willraz]

lmao nicely played off

[bryannunesmusic]

Well thats ironic as shit!

[jawide626]

chad franscoviak (sp) did his best EQ-ing on it, sounded awesome =P

[jawide626]

to be fair, he built that guitar so he can throw it about if he so wishes xD

[kenedward03]

was that "THE BLACK ONE" OMG hahahaha. poor guitar, i would kill myself if i'd drop my guitar like that. hahaha.

[stockmarket101]

kewl... it made a pretty cool sound when it dropped

[arturininini]

even that sounds good to him..

[orenji13]

Renee Martinez had a heart attack 3 minutes later ,he is John's guitar tech btw

[Jreofrio25]

Looks like Gravity literally brought down "the black one" lol she's a trooper though! Stays in tune and everything

[daanborges]

Renee Martinez heart just froze in that moment...

[FreaquedeMusique]

lolz if i do that with my guitar it is out of tune and broken...

but thanks to great fender creators that wont happen..

F U JACK AND DANNY'S GUITARS!

[mo28mabini]

yikes ..although he has a lot of babies and and he can easily get a custom one, that looked like one of his prized relics.

[OMERTA011]

why? WHY DID YOU CUT OUT THE SOLO!?!?!??!?

[tiddlemouse]

@OMERTA011 Mostly because it was already 4:16min long. Im sure there are other vids on youtube that have the solo. :)

[MrUnseenBucket]

he looks out of it..

[TalkingCardCreator]

Nice save with the extra trashcan

[Cbluesrocker]

That sucks! That's his favorite guitar!!!!!!!

[S94CIEG01]

IRONY!

[tylerdwells]

The drummer right when he drops it haha. my ears!

[FLIGHTCOMPANY]

Half of his heart died for a sec

[Andreashad92]

i just noticed that from 3:15 to 3:27 he actually plays "Castles Made of Sand"...

[ArnaudFTW]

@Andreashad92 True, JM has awesome taste in music

[Soulrivers]

@Andreashad92 Oh yeah, good ears. Totally missed that on my first listen.

[XboxIsaLifestyle]

I love all the comments: "Good thing he didn't break it"

Like he can't get a new one -.-

[pITovive]

I replayed this video 50 times from 3:54

[chevelle7873]

go to 3:52 to see the guitar drop

[britfem]

What a clear vid, what camera did you use? I also loved the sound it made when he dropped it though I'm sure he was secretly freaking out. Love JM, he is a living legend.

[tiddlemouse]

@britfem He is a living legend, so skilled! The camera is a Panasonic Lumix DTZ10, theres an updated one out now with 16x zoom and full HD :) Great cameras, I would say the best point and shoot camera available!

[tylerdwells]

I would love to see what he said after that.

[saina002]

it actually sounded pretty cool when he dropped it. perfect way to end a show :)

[Jordaddy35]

guitar is relicd... not vintage people!

[ERAmusicprodction]

POOR GUITAR!

But anyone notice the awkward pause in clapping of the audience member closest to the center of the screen when John dropped it? HAHA

[MrRockinson]

hahaha good one John

[guitarplayer407]

how fucking embarrassing. oh. my. god.

[aseriousoffender]

hahaha damn GRAVITY!!!

[fedelespaul]

@aseriousoffender

REALLY A GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[bryanmatthew11]

Who's playing drums?... Keith Carlock (sorry 'bout spelling)?!?

[SCTR9SPY]

@bryanmatthew11 yup

[JensKolonD]

Wow, he actually does not sing that well..

[Life4Guitar]

Even my heart skipped a beat or 10 when he dropped it omg.

[fedelespaul]

@Life4Guitar

hey i play guitar and if you play too you must know that if this didn't happend yet to you you are very very very very lucky..........but it will come........it's like a guitarist course or something like that!hahaha

[Life4Guitar]

@fedelespaul

Hahaha man, I play too, and I only dropped mine once :) So I think I'm past that part of becoming an awesome guitarist ! =D

[MatteSweden]

He must have shat his pants, damnit, I shat my pants!

That's the kind of guitar you do not want to drop, extremely personal guitar

[nate891]

if you watch real close you can see that his foot helps cushion the fall slightly

[nate891]

if you watch real close, his foot does help the fall a little.

[nate891]

the only thing i don't like about this video is that you have it set up to where you can't click on the screen to pause which i'm use to doing. 

[jdducut83]

John mayers keepin it alive man. just like our good ol boys in the day (SRV) Clapton, eric johnson, jimmy page, slash. He just knows how its done.

[gargeleous77]

Should of said (stupid gravity!)

[honkiemarge]

That was the best comebackever!

[carlosfuzz]

Gravity wants to bring down his favourite strat

[mopoclone]

nahh.. 'the black1' is fine

[mopoclone]

nahh.. 'the black1' is fine

[andy474x]

there are some guitar drops that you think, oh, it's a well loved vintage strat, one more battle scar is just more character... this was not one of those drops. Lucky he didn't break the neck.

[4TheMus1c]

just goes to show that even the great ones can be a dork sumtimes and drop the  guitar haha I love john mayer!!

"hit it one more time" haha classic

[madmusiclove]

smoooth! loved it, thanks for uploading and sharing! there is never that much clarity in concert uploads, your camera must be amazing!

[tiddlemouse]

@madmusiclove Yeh I'm pretty stoked with it, its fantastic for concerts!!!

[janludvigsen]

Epic! :-)

[drdmento]

what did he say right after he dropped it?  I couldn't quite hear....

[Ethonadon10]

he done goofed

[riffmeister76]

Cringe worthy. I love that guitar so much it physically hurt me to watch.

[auroraa606]

Ouch, my heart kind of hurts after seeing that. lol. I mean, it`s the precious Black One! :)

[tomjrobbo]

Ah man, poor BlackOne.

[huzza18]

WOW ! And Orianthi was the opener ! What a guitar show ! Wish I was there ;)

[LexovichUkraine]

John looked so pissed off when the guitar fell.... it's his favorite one.

[kayshawx17]

he seems a lil tipsey, no?

[olyansincs]

Gravity got held of the Strato, ain't it?

[kweerb8]

@olyansincs lolololol

[musicdude195]

being a guitar player that was like seeing a baby getting droped

[fenderstratman120]

where is steve jordan? and who is that

[omgdiddles]

@fenderstratman120 Not sure why Steve isn't there anymore but that's Keith Carlock. He is the drummer for Steely Dan and a lot of others. Very good drummer.

[robebradfie]

as a guitar player, that hurts my heart

[KwadwoYaboa321]

wow what kind of camera is that

[tiddlemouse]

@KwadwoYaboa321 It's a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 has 12xzoom AVCHD Recording, Love it, best for gigs :)

[KwadwoYaboa321]

@tiddlemouse Thanks.. it has really good definition

[sireagz]

lol

[afiqfalif]

He's so funny!

[XDAnnaCathrine]

4.00 John is like "are you okay?" :p

[irockyouroll]

no the BLACK ONE!!!! i hope its ok!

[mikaltch]

I wonder if Fender needs to re-open up all the cases of the upcoming reliced Black1s and add the new brisbane damages... especially the masterbuilt ones

[theDIEHARDGATORFAN]

@mikaltch I think that Fender should just make the Black1 a normal part of the John Mayer signature series instead of just 500 or 83

[cassandre2468]

@mikaltch When Fender remade the black one they actually purposely made the guitar look beat up?

[LPCliftonMusic]

@mikaltch That would be awesome. Everyone wants the road worn look these days anyway. LOL.

[fujiyoshi]

Mr. Mayer, Gravity sure did work against you, eh?

*ba dum tsch*

[tissuechang]

@fujiyoshi HHAHAHAHAHAH that's fucken hilarious

[PropheSAY]

@fujiyoshi I'm going to have to steal that spelling of the rim shot...

[Fender2382]

Lol poor guy. It's like he dropped his child. Rene will take care of it.

[Sjjags]

Haha it was a bit out of tune on the second ending... Great version

[lefte18]

lol his face with his arms stretched out at 3:55 is priceless

[Bente684]

was it a mistake, or was he drunk/stoned...? it looked pretty clumpsy ^^

[BDP20PBC]

so amaizng loved seing him come back out and play this

[RHCPFitz]

Castles Made of Sand tease at the end was sweet... *tries to ignore the fact that the black one just slammed into the ground*

[babyg105]

LOL @ his face when he drops it hahahaha

[SamJH7]

Thanks for the vids, camera quality is great. Wish I had this view, I was on the floor peering over people. Still, great concert!

[tiddlemouse]

Haha yeh, he handled it well thou... His like ah let's try that again.

[huzza18]

@tiddlemouse It's a Strat , so I don't worry about it anyway ;-). A Fender masterbuilder once said you could use it to fight yourself out of a sticky bar situation and it still sounds great ;) . I hope I said that right , sry for my English ! Greets from Germany !

[tiddlemouse]

@huzza18 Haha really, what a legend, you said it perfectly, your English is great. Hey from Australia :)

[surkazam]

a night to remember. lol.

[chook2148]

yeww. i bet his heart skipped a few beats when he dropped the blk1.

[tiddlemouse]

@chook2148 Heartbreak warfare right there! :p

[SaladTaste]

@WhereTheLight1s Wow, I looked him up. I hadn't heard of him before, but this guy is indeed amazing.

[SaladTaste]

Who's the drummer?

Looks like a new one.

[ocdrumboy1]

@SaladTaste the drummer is keith carlock... one of the best drummers in the world. plays with guitar god wayne krantz then broke into the big scene with steely dan and has been their drummer for the past 7 years or so... toured with sting and the blues brothers... etc. beleive me hes the man in demand!
