  • Musical process and performance are genius. He's a bad ass.

  • he's my hero

  • Haha I hit 8 times the dislike button because DIS I LIKE !!! JM <3

  • i recognized he's got exact the same smile and mouth like Johnny Depp:D

  • TED MOSBY LOOK ALIKE!

  • @macoolable RIGHT!!!!? I've always thought that!!!

  • he looks great in this interview. 

  • @tkdcarlo yeah definitely...! :o :D

  • 8 people say he can't get stoned.

  • I just got through reading a lot of your comments. JM just talks to talk. He's addicted to talking, and I love him. He is bright, witty and with it. BTW, he is no more racist than the majority of liberals in this country. He's just blabbin'. Sometimes he needs to put a freakin' sock in it.

  • I really liked this interview. Unlike others (which were funny) this one seemed straight forward and honest without the jokes.

  • being famous must suck, but making music for alot of people not

  • Who cares about how he is with the press. Really.

    His music is amazing. He is great with the guitar. He is so diverse, great with the guitar, great with pop, sol, and most of all BLUES!

    He is the only celebrity musician who actually makes GREAT music. And he proves how good he is, when he goes up live. So fuck all the haters and fuck your trash ass music choice. Go f u c k your moms with that wanna be justin timberlake shit of yours, and come back to us when you know what real music is

  • The Battle Studies record was on loop in my car's CD player for about 4 months. Can get you through any breakup ;)

    <-- check us out! --

  • JM is awesome. I never hated him (how can I hate someone I don't know anyway) but I really thought he was a douche, a real b*tch, from what I've seen on the press. His music was always one of my favorites, so at a certain point I started looking for interviews and I started reading some of his thoughts on his blog and started paying more attention to his lyrics. Turns out, he is just too damn intelligent and multi-talented to be understood by everyone and he just doesn't really care. JM = best!

  • I like John cause he's real and on point. His music is brilliant and to compare between each song he's written is impossible for me cause I love all the songs equally. His talent is God given and I appreciate his honesty. Everything out right now is plastic, I'm glad he's not afraid to try new things and yet keep it real about what he's feeling. CavenEdwards I don't agree with you that he has emotional issues?How do you know he does?Paparazzi sucks & John is an unrestrained masterpiece. 

  • Love this interview. It takes a lot of guts to admit your thoughts and opinions in such a public way. John Mayer is one deep guy and I love it. I am also a perfectionist! I think Continuum is his best album, I swear I can listen to every song on it without fast-forwarding through any of it, but Battle Studies is a very, very close 2nd. I think he is one of the best guitarists ever!

  • Comment removed

  • so basically "Who Says" = DGAF

  • @gdmansfield9211 not really... at all.. hah

  • I love john mayer but I feel he over analyzes sometimes and he tends to get himself into trouble. I think he just needs to relaxe and just let the music come out. Just let it flow. I feel when He just relaxes he will be able to create an album that rivals some of the greatest albums of all time. I think Mayers talents are a bit restrained due to his emotional issues, but if he could get over that, their is no telling what type of master piece he could produce.

  • so awesome i can't even find the words.

  • The dude is not racist. One of his back up guitarists is black both of his background singers are black both of his drummers are black an jimi hendrix was his musical inspiration as a kid

  • I love JM's music but I simply just can't take him serious when he makes music videos, sorry, it's so awkward

  • You haters make me laugh. I'm actually happy that people as stupid as you guys aren't his fans. I can enjoy his concerts more.

  • his a control freak... YES ! IM NOT ALONE.

    one of favorite person that i don't know very well..lol

  • I love that John's a control freak and admits it. We love people for their imperfections.

  • Did is not girly assholes, you need to be a man to say what you think and feel instead of waiting everyone else to guess. To put your essence at ease and be ok with it it's real manhood. I respect JM for keeping it real.

  • hugs and kisses..that is all.

  • EVeryone is just as racist as he is. the problem with him is that he makes alot of slips so he may appear like a douche but really he just needs to think before he speaks

  • John is one of the greatest musicians of our time. His lyrics are poetry and his guitar playing is amazing! Love him!

  • im getting sick of people bashing john mayer. like okay he spoke his mind you cant hate him for that because everyone does that. he might just have a different opinion than you so if he does who cares! And why would he want to sing for people who can't even respect him as a singer, songwriter, or person. I mean this guy is a genius!

  • sooo tired of racist comments, etc. Believe it or not there is such a thing as freedom of speech in the country, yet when we speak 'our' truth as human beings/individuals we are wrong, racist, haters, stupid. Whatever happened to 'honestly', 'being true to one's self' I think JMayer does that. Others maybe need to get a life, get a job, or buy a cat. Whatever makes your wind blow, and leave my wind alone. thank you

  • So many haters. hahaha. The dude is bankin' so hard it's stupid. Not to mention he's one of the best writer out there (and guitarists). Hey, I know where you're comin' from. I mean, I'm jealous of the mother fucker myself! He's got it goin' on no doubt. Rock on John Mayer...Rock on.

  • Hes not girly...hes just a womanizing racist. Kudos to you John Mayer...tool

  • @johnobama hater

  • @bareteeth Just dont like racists. Its ok if you do. More power to your misplaced blind hero worship. Still a tool...keep loving him bareteeth

  • @johnobama not misplaced, not blind, not worship...just not hatin'. I like the guys music quite a bit. I don't know him personally of course, but I wouldn't call him "racist" over what he said. That's a bit narrow and way harsh. You must be jealous. I mean, you chose to come here and find this video just to dis on the guy? Keep lyin' to yourself, Johnobama.

  • @bareteeth You cant be a little racist. Theres just racist. Ok, if he isnt racist in that article, then he just plain stupid. Racist or stupid, you decide. Bravo for defending this overrated dope. Yawn.

  • there is literally a john mayer song for every single aspect of my life. thank you john mayer

  • please check also THE CEEZ on YouTube

  • John Mayer is a GUITAR HERO

  • John Mayer is The Best!!

  • moment of clarity? lol, john mayer fuckin rolls. for all you noobs, roll means he takes ex tabs, haha

  • LOL pause it at 1:24

  • @Billyclub31 ???

  • @Sinekyre14 You sound like an anti-Jewish racist. John Mayer may be a jerk, but he's a great player, as recognized by Eric Clapton, SRV.

  • @juanitoweb recognised by SRV? I didn't know that

  • @juanitoweb ugh! hes not a jerk ... hte media just loves picking at him... sure he has a motor mouth but hes not a dick!

  • Really great musician and songwriter !!

    John Mayer ROCKS

    johnmayervevo

  • Even John says Continuum was his best...although its rather arbitrary to group songs into the order in which they came out. I love RFS, and Clarity is worth $1,000,000 to me. Continuum is near perfect and Battle Studies is his "free answer," like on Millionaire: he can only drop back to Continuum.

  • room for squares was his most honest singer/songwriter album to date

    all his albums are great but i think RFS was the best..love how he mixed those jazz chords with the pop sense

  • I do love RFS because I was so pure but I just love the whole Heavier Things Album. It's like every song on it was so much deeper than the lyrics ya know. Made ya think about your own life. I could see why he thinks Continuum was the best though. Every song was so unique and he could jam out to it. Lol.

  • John Mayer ROCKS !!!!!!

  • wow, i didn't know he did this out of his house, that's awesome.

  • Simply fantastic !!

    I Love John Mayer

  • I'm kind of tired of hearing people rag on JM. Let him do what he does. Music is reflection of self...he isn't a catering company. He's not being "girly"; he's just feeling it. When he feels it different there's a different sound. Every great musician plays what they feel...and since we all feel, we can connect with them. I guarantee JM wants nothing more at any given concert than to just feel the music...if he is, then i am. "Girly" or not.

  • Well said:) I agree with you 100%

  • @allwrongalmost true if hes is actually feeling it, which he probably is to some degree

    but even john has a funky blues style in almost all of his songs, and this album is almost completely void of it. either this is a melancholy self analysis by john mayer purposely lacking in instrumental poise or a CD to make money, and seeing how rally 90 percent of recent mainstream artists are producing bullshit pop songs for cash, unforturnately i think john is doing the same, still fav artist though

  • @allwrongalmost Exactly!

    Fuck people who think listening to him is gay or he is gay or his music is gay. John Mayer is amazing, his music is the best I've ever heard. Period.

  • Looks like the world now knows that you can´t speak in english dude.

  • Brazil r really in love with tour music dude. U know why? Because you´re honest. We all need honest people in our lifes. Our country is having his worst time. I´m not talking about kids dying hungry, people dying out of water. That´s our government problems. They create this long years ago. I´m just saying... We need honest music. We need honest beliefs. Peace from Brazil Dude. With my guitar, I Salute you!

  • @bigjohnnielorenzo I´m from Brazil too, "big Johnnie". Stop being such a stupid kid, brother.

    People dying?! really?

    Is that what you want the world thinking about us?

    You Asshole.

  • He is a guy like all of us. He wakes up on hang overs and have to work, he runs out of cigarrets, his strings breaks in the middle of his best solos, he´s been pulled alway from his friends as his work gets serious and bigger. People cares about what his saying to his girl. People who make a living out of it. He has a family that is pratically in the past sometimes. He´s a normal guy that lives with different numbers than us. More zeros, more people around = less friends and more lies.

  • i think because of reading this i just became a little bit retarded

  • I love how honest he is, he is right he should`nt care about what people think.

  • @MusashiChanFR tooooooooooooooooollll. that is all.

  • i LOVE john mayer but im sorry battle studies wasnt even close to his best

  • I've got an opposite view.

  • @ egab74 i would argue it was pretty close, Continuum being his only album that may be better, but it's between Continuum and Battle Studies as his best album for me.

  • nice interview! :) Yay for not caring what others think...:)

  • the best singer in the planet

  • weak titties

  • u can hear the interviewer laughing in the backround after he talks about the songwriter in him cracking open a beer

  • 1:37 = love [:

  • hey guys,im from germany,dont care about spellig just listening,he´s one of the last we have in this world ! peace !

  • vulnerable mayer..luv

  • John Meyers pees sitting down. I heard "Your Body is a Wonderland" was written for a guy.

  • You`ve been watching his tv-show I understand.

  • Haha! Keep drinking, it's the only way you're going to make it through the show!

  • Awesome! Only a true JM fan would know what that quote was from!

  • i pee sitting down. you gotta problem with that, punk?

  • What does he do on the beat it song by fall out boy

  • the solo

  • the solo, cuz none of them can play guitar

  • Well Considering that you actually give credit to Fall out Boy, you are obviously not even entitled to an opinion about John Mayer!

  • hes an amazin guitarist.

  • Lol learn to spell his name right, and maybe he'll let you ;)

  • I want to have his child. I love you John Meyer

  • oh i see you are a REAL fan

    btw is mAyer

  • I love JM! Have you heard Lindsey Smith from the Regulars Band perform his new song? It is really good :)

  • It's Elvis Mayer.

  • Ya'll need to just calm down. Lol. John Mayer is an AMAZING artist and should be celebrated for that. So what if he's a douche? So what if he looks like he's rollin'? He does amazing work and has an incredible ear for music. You don't have to love him to love his music. Stop being jealous and accept him for what he is; an extremely talented musician.

  • i agree, love is music, buts hes an arrogant bellend

  • I love reading comments by people who hate John Mayer. All they ever say is shit about how he's a big douche and his music sucks. Well, he may be somewhat of a douche, but holy shit if you think his music sucks you have no taste in music.

  • @Piglatinsuperstar

    I just checked out Micheal Franks and don't see much of a resemblance in style. And I'd hate to break to you, but Micheal Franks didn't pioneer anything. He just ripped off the guy before him.

  • @bedroomplayer88

    What guy before him? We had talent back then, no ripoffs were necessary like nowadays

  • @oopy111 Those guys are prolly listening to Justin Beiber or some shit.

  • @oopy111 I think he speaks his mind, thus giving people the "DOUCHE" illusion.

  • your just jealous that he is doing everything that you want to do. you may not like him as a person, but you could at least admit that he is a good musician. who cares what faces he makes

  • John Mayer,

    You want a different approach. Take a listen to my site BertGriffin88. Check out: "Bullet Hole", "(Rihanna's Song II) So The Psycho Took Her Life", "I Want To Know (Who Gets The Money)", "She Is Where I Want To Be", Another Flower Has Gone", "(Beads) Too Bad, Too Late, We See", "(Bubbles) Bubbles Bit Me On The Bad Spot", "We're The Dominators", "Four Crosses On Ocean Bay", "Must It Be So". I've posted 99 original songs here. There's a lot of new stuff in this old head take a listen.

  • It's safe to say that you guys aren't musicians, or at least arent good musicians.

    Pricks.

  • i hate a-holes that wear sunglasses at night, was he rolling?

  • Comment removed

  • your screen name says enough lol. shh.

  • How do you get off judging someone by what the tabloids say? journalists devote their lives to finding information about john mayer that will destroy his life. so yeah they print every negative side of him. But in reality we dont know shit about who he is. and your clearly not a music fan because every good musician makes "some fucking strange faces", louis armstrong, Otis redding, bob marley...it just means they sing with soul. dont watch his videos and leave shit comments that have no value.

  • He is great. very good voice and even better guitar player.
