Happy B-Day/Sweet Chad of Mine by John Mayer 7-30-2008

[jannick333]

..... he tries to make fun of Axl and Slash, but he horribly fails! Axl is a way better singer an Slash a way better guitarrist. Also he messed up the intro an the 2nd solo an he probably is afraid of the big solo so he just stops playing..... To bad John, to bad!

[manosg4l]

@jannick333 afraid of the second solo? come on John could nail this easily! he plays this for fun only!

[almostlover72]

@jannick33 You're actually quite deluded, aren't you?

[JohnnayJay]

@jannick333 Afraid to play the big solo? you've obviously never seen John Mayer play

[yamam120]

@jannick333 If you read the description it says "his rendition of sweet child of mine"..... now go get a dictionary open it up and look for the definition of rendition which you clearly don't know the meaning of. What is the point in him playing it exactly the same like guns and roses, the whole point of being a professional artist is that you can take something and make it yours, which is what he has done.

[karmiquebelle]

He's adorable, I love his sense of humor!

[Roberthoufonje]

he sings like he's drunk here, still way better than lots of other singers, so no negative comments here ;)

[Roberthoufonje]

malle pretbek :) maar wel leuke pretbek

[iheartkathyy]

haha he's adorable

[TheSimplestThing]

how the heck does he sing AND play the riff at the same time?!?!

[1292liam]

WHAT A TOTAL BELL END!

[scottelliottmusic]

Is he wearing cargo sweatpants?????? ON STAGE????????

[mojostrat58]

Horrible

[alteco123123123]

1:04 STAR POWER!



[ohblahdah]

Classic GNR. Loved JM impersonating Axl and Slash with the sway and the guitar licks. I saw Axl do thing song way back when, and Slash do it with Black Eyed Peas at U2. Now that it's 2011, it seems like this was the last time John cut all his hair off? He had hair in July 2008 in London, then right about this time, he almost shaved his head! Was this in Irvine?? I saw the Nokia shows too and you gotta love the boy -- hair or no hair -- as he does put on the best live show.

[ulys8ana]

he's a great friend.Chad is lucky

[theguitarlegend53]

haha...axl is kind of a douche...he has a good voice but still a douche...so mayer's impression of him really made me laugh...he is a very underrated guitar player because he never reveals all of his tricks like everyone else and is more concerned with song writing than showing off.

[daveswife]

This man has so much love in his heart! I ADORE him!

[alittleinbetween]

That would be the best birthday present ever! Perido

[AlzAdventures]

Classic Axl haha

[AlzAdventures]

LMAO the singing and dancing are spot on!

[DoranneB]

One of my fav videos! Thanks for sharing. :)

[myjsallday44]

lol dances just like Axel

[Hengelothijs]

Hilarious :D

[MusicHungryMan]

Most people commenting dont know that the dance is the "axl dance" =P

[Vickyefisher]

he looks SO gay doing his dance moves... xD

but I <3 him.

he's incredible, and who wouldn't love that body... ;) [/pervert]

[Paradisecity1992]

Are you saying that dancing like Axl Rose looks gay? Axl rocks!

[Vickyefisher]

@Paradisecity1992 ...lol

[GizellexBreezy]

God, he is sexxxxy! Even if he dances all funky like that. Haha (:

[ambri3ce]

@GizellexBreezy it's funny that noone that watches this or that was there knows why he dances like that during this song.

[fabioadias]

LMAO!!!!!!!!

[mymyMK]

facciamo qualcosa insieme GRAZIE

[karolapineda]

He is fucking amazing :O

[comedysports11]

haha this was phenomenal. John is such a great performer. He has a good combination of musical talent and a great personality, which is why he's so entertaining. awesome performance John.

[christopherhwang]

axl + slash in one, but better

[DoranneB]

Excellent video of an awesome performance! Love it!

[goblesqb7]

Ya that's JJ Johnson, and he's definitely a bad ass drummer too

[snackajack117]

hahahaa! the axl impression!

[lukikrestuki69]

his dance is hilarious hahahahaha

[gisabella18]

HHA AMAZING!!!!!!!

[selracterim2]

este perro es un cachondo

[jatundoro]

JM.. You're fuckin Funny man.. whahahahha.. i love your dance.. ahwhahhaa

[jake3189]

haha the axl is perfect

[jamesanthonyangeles]

ahahahaha.. other side of john.. very funny

[stevejordan100]

if im just as honest as the guy before me.. i think this is about one of the best versions ive ever seen, despite the fact he fails the intro

[stevejordan100]

hes a born entertainer hahahahahah

[ec02153]

Absolutely GREAT!

[thereisnoplanb]

i absolutely LOVE John Mayer! my goodness! he's got such a freaking sexy voice. goodness.

[dylangalvin]

yeah, really, learn to fluently speak the language your attempting to use to insult someone....and use a little more sense to come onto a JM video and trash him and not expect to get destroyed by his fans, you douche nozzle

[rangedat]

that's hot "douche nozzle" :D

[tdawgheath]

Yeah, it's a good thing John doesn't take music too seriously, or the world might have good songs.

[SweetAubrey18]

This is the most hilarious thing i've seen! Way to go John

[ingo007]

omg he cant sing -.-'

[LedZeppelin1967]

he's no axle rose. then again..nobody is axle rose but axle himself lol funny rendition. loved it.

[YearAtTheMovies]

adam sandler can axle rose, youtube it lol

[CherryBurstLesPaul]

I'm a Guns 'n Roses fan myself, and even an even bigger John Mayer. But to be honest Axle couldn't really sing...

[tommaz190]

yes he can douche

[jfiene1]

Stay in school, once you learn some English maybe we will respect your comments!

[joshyboy152]

"hey look, im slash" - Dave Grohl

[brandon27valadao]

so good, SO GOOOD!!

[nandaxv]

lindoooooooo

[socalef9]

that drummer ruined the song

[talagapinoy]

Dumbass, thats the drummer he brings everywhere with him. Almost half the stuff he's done is with him.

[socalef9]

just cause its his drummer doesn't mean he didn't ruin the song.... dumb ass

[talagapinoy]

You obviously don't know how to read.

[supersingerevan]

I know this is an old conversation, but...Steve Jordan? That guy's played with Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, The Blues Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, BB King, Stevie Nicks, Neil Young, Sonny Rollins, Bruce Springsteen, and Los Lonely Boys. Just to name a few.

Bullshit he's ruining the song. He's the biggest musical badass on that stage. The recording probably affected the drums' sound.

[kinney1990]

Thing is steve jordan is not on that stage that is jj johnson

[supersingerevan]

Ah. That might have something to do with it then...I'm not as familiar with JJ's reputation and chops.

[CMSpida]

and produced some of the greatest albums of all time

[GoHiltyGo]

i don't really see what's wrong with that.

[zeckaman]

lololololo crazy mayer :D

[campb423]

i think its funny that he kinda fumbled around on the notes on happy birthday. I get the idea it wasnt rehearsed, and i also dig the sense of humor doing a funny cover. the voice impersonation is histerical, im sure chad enjoyed it

[Justforshows]

ahaha i miss this show.

it was so amazing

[GoHiltyGo]

he does it as a joke. notice how he does the axl rose dance.

[chuy24esmierda]

he looks kinda like a rockstar with that hair and with the tank

[paultholen]

good thing he is a rockstar then;)

[jesspaul1212]

i just hav2 say he is the hottest fucken man out there!!! woo hoo!!! 5 min thats all i would need with his fine ass

[JoeLiebgott13]

He's laughing. And he gets in pose.

He's great.

[wafflecopter08]

i was here!! best concert ive ever been to by far!!! woooot!

[jfiene1]

I agree that John was in his element that night. The First Annual Charity Revue at Nokia Live was the best JM concert I have seen. Will never forget that one. And I have seen just a few since I am 45!  Jeffe

[nishanthlux]

ive never been to a JM concert...everyone whose been tells me that its awesome...how come? what is it about his shows?

[sstopthistrain]

There's something special about John, + attending one of his concerts. The way he talks to you between songs, it feels like you know him, and you've been old friends for years. he connects with the audience .your never bored at a JM show, i can tell you that much. each show, as each of his songs is individual. his songs are like a piece of art, they're all so unique +different. his special renditions of each song= crazy. GO TO A JOHN MAYER CONCERT. prepare to be blown away.

[jfiene1]

I agree....It is hard to explain but so many people seem to connect to him as a singer and a songwriter plus he is a kickass guitar player that works with some awesome musicians. If you haven't been, you definitely need to check out a JM concert soon!

[Spartan867]

What camera were u using?

[kokoXcrunch]

he looks like Steve O with his hair!!!!!!!!

[crankthetoto]

nah he looks like Scott Foley

[jdem0]

i think he looks like john mayer...

[crankthetoto]

no john mayer has long hair

[Jdeeego]

I mean I love how he impersonates slash around 105

[Jdeeego]

I love how he impersonated slash on 1:20

[stlobelio99]

Oh man don't dance... hahaha!!!! that's hilarious!

[kokoXcrunch]

now i proved it, guitar players are bad dancers. LOL. please do agree with me. im bad at dancing.

[jchay55]

hes copying axl rose. lol.

[bulldogfight]

best birthday ever

[ExportDrummer89]

Wow, and it's really a great cover. JM is the shit. I saw him a few days before this show. It was amazing.

[OrchrestraNerd]

aww man he should have done the second solo haha

happy birthday chad!

[MikeMFMiller]

haha, second best (to adam sandler) axl rose impression ive ever seen

[jingwah]

dude his dancing reminds me of a tadpole ahha

[gpphx]

seriously, this is fucken amazing!!!! just too funny but still great :D

[takedownjakebrown]

Only John Mayer would play a song specifically for his sound man's birthday, and still sound amazing

[jdem0]

GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!

[myk908]

dude. love the impression. he managed to keep a straight face all throughout. hahaha

[OdyseausXIX]

I don't think he was doing this to deliberately make fun of Axl Rose. Chad just probably really digs this song and so John decided to play it for his birthday. Yeah, he probably overdid the vocals just for kicks but not to make fun of Axl Rose directly. Fun song to play :-).

[SARAHH213]

I think he mostly did it because you can so perfectly switch Child for Chad :P

[yeahmanyursick]

People need to stop taking this seriously, he's fucking around and having a good time, he knows he's a terrible dancer he's said so in a couple of interviews.

[MajorAids]

John's guitar playing isn't too bad but his vocals and dancing are atrocious. John's voice isn't suited for this song and he ends up sounding like a bad Axl impersonator.

[Musicman1001]

sounds pretty much what he was going for xD

way to make it hard for the sound guy :p

[nesselegant]

hes so funny..love you mayer!

[gransTparty]

is he taking the piss out of guns n roses!!

His dancing is haleriouss!!

[SARAHH213]

The wiggle at 1:37 is hilarious and kind of cute at the same time.

[en4sm8zn7g8]

it's a parody of Axl Rose

[SARAHH213]

i know, which is the part that's hilarious

[jingwah]

it cracks me up all the time

[TheIceJoker]

is he still out of his mind? not sure if what im thinkin is true though.. just smoked a mary

[jfiene1]

That makes it all the better!!

[TheIceJoker]

this is a real hard subject. cuz i think its that all humans are a lil afraid to shine.

[TheIceJoker]

why?

[Torikan]

or worse...

[malutka4ever]

i love that john mayer at 1:20 with his fabulous smile on his face and all of happiness:) great man musician and such a cute guy <3

[chathuriu]

hehe. this guy to muckin fuch. I love the inherent happiness/condescension at 1:20

[YolondaHayes]

I LOVE THE SMILY FACE

[paulefty]

haha awesome!

[gnrlies1]

Holy shit that is wayyyy too funny. Love the Axl dances he does.

[BuckyJoe00]

lol can't stop laughing!!!

[m5mejane]

nnnnnnn.......Happy Birthday to you too soon John....... :) I love you/We Love You! Thanx for the beautiful music and for being you!

[doughman43]

What great quality of feed!

[musicismyysalvation]

lol he's baggy pants :) they always make me smile. long live jm3

[dvdpz]

What kind of camera is this????? reply please...

[jfiene1]

I have a Canon G9. I absolutely love it!

[m5mejane]

This was great!

[gna4ever]

WOW! first of all, i like him with his long hair...but uh the short hair makes him look very sexy! & his dance moves were so cute! btw that rendition of sweet child o' mine was sweet!

[carolzinha43]

hahahahaha, the dance moves!

those kind of things reminds me why i love him as a person

<3

[jesusninja]

Haha, that was actually pretty good.

[kicker44]

Starting at 2:49 he is playing that riff while singing. Doesnt miss a beat. Awesome.

[NickRamone0]

Whoa why'd he cut his hair...it totally brought the sexx on his head...

[sexyyknchick117]

Im in love with this man...

[igottaste]

JM is such a fool! I love him!!!!

[dodgeballhero]

Axl Rose is gonna be pissed. But he'll get over it.

[avsbmn7]

haha no he won't axl rose doesn't get over anything. he will just be pissed forever. haha

[jfiene1]

I absolutely agree! He loves to share his music and he loves his fans. He is such a talented artist!!

[johnmayerislife]

this is so great! john is awsome! he always puts on such great shows, he really knows how to keep his audience entertained i love himm

[marilyn318]

I love the dance JM does!

[jfiene1]

John was definitely in his element that night. There were so many good things about this show. I was shocked at first by the new look (mainly the haircut, I knew about the tat and love it!!) but John is such an entertainer he can get away with just about anything.
