haha, John may cover SVR and Jimi a lot but at least he's respectful enough to play the guitar well... Can't say the same about this guy.
Besides John Mayer has earned some respect from the blues community after playing with BB, Clapton etc. You think BB would offer to play on the stage with these kids?
watch john mayers version live in la..then come back and watch this. you might change your opinion on how "good" this is... and as far as john mayer not being born a blues god..thats debatable.
It's a cover get over it he's not trying to remake the song he's just singing it. 'I just died inside' it's unbelievable how exagerated some of your comments are.
whats his face up there says "even john mayer had to start somewhere. he wasn't born a blues god." The point is, this is a distinct John Mayer song, one of the best songs ever written. John is hugely influenced by SRV, but he doesn't cover him, and rarely will he cover Hendrix, and when he does he gets some heat. All because they're distinct artists. This is one of those songs that's just stupid to touch. Jonas brothers are wanted for murder...
@timh7403 There are John Mayer Concerts here all the time, he alwys covers Hendrix songs (ALL THE TIME )he covers "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", "Wait until Tomorrow", and "Little Wing". He also covers Stevie Ray songs too. He has two SRV guitars and 2 Hendrix guitars!!!!! He even has SRV initials tattood to his freaking arm, so yeah you're wrong.
@SlipperywhenBlake cause your argument doesn't apply and you missed the point. They played an untouchable song, and proved it by sounding terrible! They're pop artists, they can't play blues, especially not the heavy blues of Gravity. They're music will last a few years, songs like Gravity last decades, because it's so genuine. What a tragedy it is when something as powerful and as beautiful as a song is trampled on.
@timh7403 Agreed. Most artist should know there are certain songs and artist you just don't cover, and if you do you BETTER do it right. For example: Bob Dylan, The Beetles, Hendrix, and you might as well throw John Mayer on this continuing list...
Good gracious god, I coulden't believe my eyes when I saw this in the related videos colomn. Not only should he be shot for covering this with his fake ass and for failing terribly at it so should every single one of the girls screaming like they are getting anally raped by a boar. My 2c.
the jonas brother suck ball sacks and can barely play their instruments , they don't deserve to even attempt to play anything by an artist like mayer who has real passion and soul unlike these flavor of the week douchebags
imma let you hate, so you can watch all their money piiiiiile up.
real talk.
btw
i suggest that you should listen to Nick Jonas and The Administration songs and then you can tell me that ick has no talent. the new band is great i like jb to. but nick's music is quality music
Nah man. The entire crowd is teenage girls. Which means every one of them knows every word to Mayer's songs, and wets their pants at the very first note. Although none of them can appreciate it, I'm sure.
@themusiclove93...you call it struggle, I call it passion. Nick is singing like that on purpose;believe me, its much harder vocally to do it this way.I just like that kind of singing more. Mayer sings really low and controlled because he can't wrench it out.he has always been that way,like Uncle Cracker or Lifehouse. Its the most over-used vocal style by people who can't support the power w/ their diaphragm. I really think Mayer is just un-confident as a singer, so I don't like it as much.
usually not one to post negative comments.... but....
i literally puked in my mouth just now. wtf? jonas brothers, the teenie bopper following crap is annoying enough with out you taking an amazing song like gravity and taking a dump on it for your fans that don't know what good music is. hence the cheering for this song.
@speschk...umm...they are really not too different from Mayer...Nick jonas can sing way better and he is really talented as a musician. Check his solo stuff. And teenybopper??? Have you heard "No Such Thing"...Mayer did the same as they do, just acoustic and breathier. I honestly like Nicks vocals better than mayer on this song. And Mayer runs most songs he covers, (see his latest 'Crossroads"....yuck)
funny you should mention crossroads... he actually plays this song with eric clapton (who originally played crossroads). i will take claptons playing it with john as a big statement that he approves of johns cover. if john joins jonas brothers in gravity, i will shut up.
free falling, amazing cover!
he covers hendrix, i don't think your little jonas boys could pull that off.
@speschk 1 Robert Johnson recorded Crossroads 8 years before Clapton was born. 2 John Mayer's album version of crossroads is NOTHING like the Clapton one...its lamer than lame easy listening blues...and his cover of "Bold as Love" is so lacking compared to Hendrix. Anyone can cover Hendrix, its putting the FIRE in thats hard to do...very few can do that. You clearly like lame blues, so I have no reason to defend anything I say. And Clapton got pretty lame on his albums after Derek & Dominos
also, no such thing is hardly teenybopper. take like 5 minutes and compare fan bases. john mayer doesn't fill seats with 16 yr old girls. it's with 20 somethings that know good music. guys that want to hear someone shred a strat.
my point isn't that jonas brothers suck, my point is, gravity is an amazing song... and they do not do it justice. it's like hearing a cover band that covers 100 songs playing power chords only... just ain't right
@speschk yeah...those 20 something fans were in their teens when he came out...How can you even deny that Mayer was teeny bopper shit when he came out? "I wanna run through the halls of my high-school" no one there but teens, "One pair of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue" you clearly dont listen to lyrics....he says bubble gum, right there.. doesn't get more teenybopper than that. CASE CLOSED!!! Mayer does no better covering what he attempts than they do covering him.
@scottelliottmusic and people don't go to see John Mayer 'cuz they wanna see someone "shred a Strat". Check out Chris Duarte, orJoe Bonamassa, just so you know what "shredding a strat" really is. He packs Royal Albert Hall w/out the benefit of hit singles. People go to hear Mayer sing his hits...be real. He even knew that, Thats why he never tried the blues till he was famous for a few years.
please take this song out of your set list and replace it with the mickey mouse theme song or something your fans can relate with a little more... and you are more qualified to play.
All three of these fucktards should just quit or die. What a horrible disgrace to one of the greatest songs of our generation. . . by quite possibly the worst band of our generation.
just shut the fuck up there are worse bands out there and hating on them doesn't make you pretty. i agree john mayers version is better. but nick did a good job. i'm a fan of JB and a fan of nick jonas and the administration. have you compared the styles of those two bands??? just listen to them will ya, then comment on one of their videos that they suck... let's see how many people will hate on you then
@jaleesamg. .although I'm not a huga fan of either; I will say with complete confidence that Nick sings this better than JM. He has balls when he sings and he can put the chilling emotion into the words that Mayer completely lacks....and he is only a teenager. Mayer may have written the song, but Nick makes it way more soulful. I think he sings a lot better.
yeah, but when you're in a mood when you need relaxing music i wouldn't listen to this version. but i do like nicks voice better. ;) like when he's forcing it, it sounds good. i think he puts more passion into it than john mayer. i think, just an opinion
@scottelliottmusic okay i respect what the jonas brothers do, but john mayer is john mayer. you just can't really put people up against him. and certainly not a song like this. and you think john mayer whispers? listen to gravity live in los angeles, oh and then he did this cover of free fallin' that you might've heard.
@VSHawkins Ok I don't want to compare Lets just say I like the way Nick sings this song He puts different emotion into parts like when he goes up and has the little vocal runs To me its more how I like blues based music to be sung Mayer is more controlled and safe in his vocalizations which if fine just not my style He never belts anything and I like how Nick does that here He has some power behind it thats all
@VSHawkins I completly agree with you. I'm a HUGE Jonas Brothers fan , but John mayer is john mayer , the jonas brothers are never gonna be like him but to hater remeber Nick was only 16 when he sang this and I think he did amazing just give them a chance
I feel terrible, this song holds a lot of meaning for me, and 8 billion high school girls just listen to it because they think it's cool. Damn, I bet about 6 of them knew the song before that night. Freaking Jonas brothers.
Id like to actually be able to hear Nick, just once, without all of the screaming. I mean seriously. I love John Mayer so much, his music is amazing. Nick Jonas did a good cover though,
lol... did you hear his shit playing? it was awful. he's an awuful guitarist, Blues guitar conveys emotion, he may have played the right notes, well kinda, but he will never be able to play with one tenth the emotion that a real blues guitarist like John Mayer does
well everyone is a beginner at one point but isn't nick jonas like what? around 18? do you think john mayer's guitar playing sounded like a decrepit chihuahua being fucked in the ass when he was nick jonas' age? I think not
@allstarabbyprime i disagree. that guy's first album in 1999 was self-released with some of his biggest hits. i'm pretty sure he was like 19 which means he'd been playing since he was like 15. And voices like that start young
no offense, but that statement bears absolutely no resemblance to reality. You can find John Mayer's stuff out there bootlegged from almost 12 years ago, and he started when he was around 19. His earliest stuff is lightyears ahead of what you are hearing in this vid. This is bad karoke at best, but it couldn't be anything else, really. Trying to cover JM is a tall order. Just don't compare this with anything he ever did, it's not accurate at all.
do you have any idea how hard it is to do tabs and play guitar while you sing its really hard its not who plays it by the way its just they are use to laying different stuff
Aw he's truly amazing he made the song his own. Yes haters thats why he doesn't sound like John is because he made it HIS OWN, not a replica like some crap artists do. So well done boys I now love you more than ever! That is TRUE TRUE talent.
@luciouslouise2008 Im sorry, true true talent..You mam are a fool. Just because he does a shitty cover, his own version, does not make him talented. The jonas brothers represent everything that is wrong with the music business. If you are thirteen, which I hope you are, excuse me for being rude.
@patrickspicer1 The Jonas Brothers represent everything wrong with the music business? And what the fuck do you know about the music industry? Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean you have to hate on them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
FUCKING GARBAGE... damn they should probably learn how to actually sing instead of having little pre-pubescent screams while trying to "cover" a modern day Stevie Ray Vaughan. Im pretty sure that if you dont know who that is. Youll probably enjoy this musical molestation they call "talent",,,
Im sorry, i like the jonas brothers, i bought all their three cds, but then i started listening to John Mayer. WOW. big difference. there guys sound like unskilled people next to him. i watched both the 3d concert experience and bought Where The light is, live in l.a. by john mayer, and now i understand why all the boys said they suck.
Wow.. some haters really go all out don't they? How can you say this sucked when you can hardely hear them over the screaming? I'm not complaining about the screaming, if I was watching the Jonas Brothers play live, I would be screaming my lungs of ;p I'm just saying, you can't judge something when you can hardely hear it.
you've got to be kidding me. half the chords that little twat is using are wrong. he's performing in front of a huge live audience. the least he could do is learn the song correctly...and it wouldn't hurt if he sucked less also
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
playing the song in the right key would help, and all of them suck at guitar, and they got the words wrong, but hey they have every 12 year old girl in the palm of their hand, so i guess that means they can do what they want. hahaha
Whenever I cover this song, my favorite part to sing is 'Gravity,' When Nick sings this song, it just feels like it brings so much more meaning, so much more love of the world, and it makes me happy to hear his voice sing, it makes me get all, I don't know, but if I could explain the sensation Nicholas gives me, I would.
This wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. But it still wasn't good. When you cover a song you either have to sing it better, or do it differently. They did neither. This can't hold a candle to what John did in any of his performances
he says, 'stay the heck'. lol. I thought they did a good cover. I just hate how you can barely hear it because of all the screaming. Can't they scream when the songs over? Anyway; I thought the vocals and guitar were amazing. They always do a great job. I love them.:)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The idiotic Jonas Brothers just displayed how to ruin an amazing song. How dare they try to cover a John Mayer song. They also suck at playing the guitar. How do losers like this become famous? I can't wait until this hideous boy band fades into the oblivion.
John once said at a concert that there are two things you never do, "You don't push old ladies down the street and you don't cover Jeff Buckley"... Let's add: You don't cover John Mayer!
you realize when he said you don't cover Jeff Buckley songs, he was actually singing a Jeff Buckley song at the time? And good on the Jonas brothers for trying, I can't really tell if it's good or not because of the ladies. But at least they're enjoying themselves! lolz. Tell you what, if I was was them, I wouldn't give a damn about others hating, less it was JM himself. Wonder what he thinks about it? I can tell they're not JM and his band over the din though. No way near.
Yeah, I am aware of that! I'm not hating on Jonas Brothers since I wasn't all that serious. If they want to cover John that's fine. I'm not getting involved :)
wow...that was so bad. first of all, lets forget about the fact that the jonas brothers just aren't good, lets move on to the fact that they RUINED a good song by an actually TALENTED musician. this is supposed to be a chill song not one that you feel the need to scream some of the words. also, they tried to give it a country twang because they're in nashville. poor choice.
they are a poor excuse for a band, and don't deserve any of the "fame" they've recieved. and idc if you don't agree
i agree, watching this made me sad. regardless of whether they think they can do it or not they just shouldnt try it. He tried screaming in one of the most chilled songs ever.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
they need to go home and practice guitar a bit, maybe write there own solos and not copy the ones on the recordings? oh, maybe improvise? i know, crazy idea.
his singing was off key too...
RELEASE THE FAN GIRLS TO COME AND BASH ME TO PROTECT THEIR TALENTLESS HACKS
no, i'm not. i'm just not a big fan of when i make an innocuous comment and then someone replies with a swear back at me. i'm not an angry person or anything. i just don't like being attacked for no reason. ok? especially if you're wrong about something. i'll give you that it's based off of it but it's not it.
i love their cover but you cant even hear them singing in this video all i hear is girls screaming

lol... did you hear his shit playing? it was awful. he's an awuful guitarist, Blues guitar conveys emotion, he may have played the right notes, well kinda, but he will never be able to play with one tenth the emotion that a real blues guitarist like John Mayer does

even john mayer had to start somewhere. he wasn't born a blues god.
allstarabbyprime 2 years ago 15
well everyone is a beginner at one point but isn't nick jonas like what? around 18? do you think john mayer's guitar playing sounded like a decrepit chihuahua being fucked in the ass when he was nick jonas' age? I think not
davidrocker08 2 years ago
@allstarabbyprime i disagree. that guy's first album in 1999 was self-released with some of his biggest hits. i'm pretty sure he was like 19 which means he'd been playing since he was like 15. And voices like that start young

@allstarabbyprime
no offense, but that statement bears absolutely no resemblance to reality. You can find John Mayer's stuff out there bootlegged from almost 12 years ago, and he started when he was around 19. His earliest stuff is lightyears ahead of what you are hearing in this vid. This is bad karoke at best, but it couldn't be anything else, really. Trying to cover JM is a tall order. Just don't compare this with anything he ever did, it's not accurate at all.

Whenever I cover this song, my favorite part to sing is 'Gravity,' When Nick sings this song, it just feels like it brings so much more meaning, so much more love of the world, and it makes me happy to hear his voice sing, it makes me get all, I don't know, but if I could explain the sensation Nicholas gives me, I would.

This wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. But it still wasn't good. When you cover a song you either have to sing it better, or do it differently. They did neither. This can't hold a candle to what John did in any of his performances

you realize when he said you don't cover Jeff Buckley songs, he was actually singing a Jeff Buckley song at the time? And good on the Jonas brothers for trying, I can't really tell if it's good or not because of the ladies. But at least they're enjoying themselves! lolz. Tell you what, if I was was them, I wouldn't give a damn about others hating, less it was JM himself. Wonder what he thinks about it? I can tell they're not JM and his band over the din though. No way near.

they are a poor excuse for a band, and don't deserve any of the "fame" they've recieved. and idc if you don't agree
