@Nacho66 i know the dude well. He never wanted to be the sensitive guy. He had blues stuff on his albums and also some pop stuff because he liked it. The record company chose the sensitive song over his good stuff. and he was cursed ever since.
Thats cool. Like I said, he is an excellent guitarist. Soulful, dynamic, and a great ear for melody and phrasing.
Personally, I don't care who's fault it was for the direction of his career. He still put his name on it and put it out there. It probably is what vaulted his career into the stratosphere too.
Mayer is not what everybody is making him out to be on the guitar. He's not very technical, well, playing van halen, not technical at all. First he needs more distortion, etc....
john mayer personally butchered a fabulous song. the solo sounded like he was banging a drumstick on the strings. seriously, if you dont have the chops or the talent, dont attempt the song.
@redrocker1055 Yeah, with a name like redrocker1055 I bet you are a virtuoso and a talent judge extraordinaire! lol. Youre right, John Mayer has fooled Fender into giving him a signature guitar with the likes of SRV, Eric Clapton, and Eric Johnson because he sucks at playing the guitar! LMAO at all you YouTube posers with nothing better to do with your pathetic lives than criticize and cut down people who actually live!
First off, not a big John Mayer fan so fair warning (great VH album btw), and yes, I dislike. This punk needs to pull-up his drawers and leave real rock and roll to those who know how to do it right. I feel better now.
Y 16 have some one in their generation who makes actual MUSIC and pays homage to guys like bb and Hendrix instead of having to listen to gaga and bieber on the fucking radio thank you.
All you people criticizing Mayer are a bunch of losers. First off let me say I would put good money that not one of you opening your mouth have any musical ability close to johns. Furthermore this song is so out of his league and hes just having fun with it but just because he's famous and has pop hits you guys go on a killing spree, go watch him play a Hendrix/SRV song and see if you have the same response. Also he may not be as great as people like Eddie but atleast people like me who are onl
OK so how many people on here are actually in a position to be criticizing John Mayer? How many of you actually play guitar/sing/have musical abilities, and i don't mean you taught yourself how to play a squier strat, I mean have actually been taught by a legitimate teacher at a studio or school. John Mayer and Eddie Van Halen are from two different genres if they play each others music its called covering and it's like paying tribute, he modified the song to his style it happens every day.
@ownage239 i qualify for all the things you asked and i can honestly tell you - covering another musician is fun but it's NOT like reaching a milestone in your musical career: "WOW!!!1 I CAN PLAY EDDI VANHalELN perfectly!" John plays these covers just for fun. Kids these days shouldn't have access to the Internet.
@BibbyMess Your so dumb. He is amazing. (Neon: he plays rhythm and bass at the same time and sings. And let's not forget that he writes his own music.)
Fuck you John. Way to look like an total fag up there fucking up an epic song by the greatest rock band ever. Don't ever play Van Halen's songs again!
This video and its comments show how overrated John Mayer is as a guitarist. People think this is great and that saddens me. Listen to Van Halen live... nearly every guitarist from even the most mediocre 80's hair metal bands would blow Mayer out of the water from a playing standpoint... shame that there are so few good guitarists left that people heap undeserved praise on fools like Mayer.
@tybaronet this is totally out of his genre/comfort zone... he plays blues, not 80's hair rock. don't base an opinion off one song, especially a song where is he blatantly fucking around
@yenalud You may have a point if I were basing that statement off of this one song. I'm basing it off of the fact that he screwed this up, he has contributed little originality to music, his chops DO NOT compare to even mediocre studio players, and you're not going to convince me or anyone he's "fucking around." He's trying, and failing. Most of Mayer's playing and even on some songs singing, are just ripoffs of SRV and Clapton. It's one thing to have influences from them, but copying? Fail.
@tybaronet Ignoring his studio work, which I hate, have you listened to his live playing, aside from this admittedly awful cover? He does more than just rip off Vaughan, Hendrix et cetera. He's made their style and sound relevant in the most unlikely of places, and that's modern pop. Mayer, albeit a giant douche bag, is an excellent blues guitarist with his own sound. Sure, he borrowed from previous players just like every other blues guitarist. He's used their style to create his own.
@Dankin24 you say that yet say John Mayer is, do know the numerous guitar techniques eddie has made, and yet what has John Mayer contributed to rock except maybe 3 ok songs, he doesn't deserve to wear those pants, John Mayer is a freaking poser
This is terrible. Guitar tone absolutely sucks for this kind of music. Ive heard of dumping the mids to create a scooped sound but ive never seen anyone dump the mids and bass...until now. One more thing, if you're going to play an EVH song you better not fuck up the solo especially if you are considered to be a "professional" musician.
@JOSHBENNETUBITCH Yeah, and all the screaming fans and millions of albums he sells while Eddie sits at home smoking a fag means nothin right? I play guitar myself, and John Mayer is a GOD! Douche
JM is freakin' hot as ever in this video! The older he gets the hotter he is - come back to this video in 10 yrs. and JM will be even hotter - ha - just keep him where the light is!
i dont like john mayer , he always plays things from other great artists , like a nice little boy , and he makes like a gay diva , i hate this asshole definetley
i dont like john mayer , he always plays things from other great artists , like a nice little boy , and he makes like a gay diva , i hate this asshole definetley
Jesus christ, smile buddy? You're playing some Van Halen and you look like your pet cat died. Sorry, but I think John Mayer takes himself too seriously.
I'm honestly sick of everyone ripping on John Mayer, he's better than any of us, so unless you can prove that you're better with a video, just shut up.
This has to be the most lame crap I've ever seen...as a first timer checking out what all the hype is about JM. perhaps he could take a cue from Steve Stevens.
@Cgolfsoccerguy First of all, I was referring to style not technichal ability dumbass. Second, Only Idiots like you compare 2 legendary guitarists with totally different styles. My point was J.M may be a good guitarist but Ive heard it all before on every SRV album I own, He is good at copping Stevie's licks and tone, Not Eddie's. So why dont you go compare BB king to Hendrix or Chet Atkins to Joe Satriani and shut the fuck up !!!
@Cgolfsoccerguy Your a fuckin genius....And your comebacks are legendary! Please do the world a favor and neuter yourself before you breed and produce more fucking retards like you!!!!!
@R00SZ I've seen him several times and he's always talking to the audience and having fun with them. You must've gotten him on a night where he was either seriously sick or something was very wrong.
@yoj309 Yeah I love Mayer, so I'm saying this from a completely unbiased perspective, but when I saw him in Ottawa, he was really bad with the crowd; almost no interaction, and he didn't do any improving; which I was kind of disappointed about, cause I look up to him as a fellow guitarist and performer.
Joy your vid is so much better than mine lol. However, you were sitting a few rows in front of me and I had a lot of drunk women flailing their arms around. I am putting mine up now though. 2 years late lol.
Look...Mayer is not Van Halen and thank God for that. He's a great guitarist with a slew of teenage girls knocking at his door. Oh, wait a min...now he's not a great guitarist, he's simply a sex symbol. OK got it. This is the kinda crap that pisses me off. So you mean Pat Benetar didn't have a great voice? She was just good to look at? Hmmm...no I'd rather just listen to girls screaming their heads off, instead of actually listening to the music of the Beatles. Go figure!
@MissWeird Who wouldn't what? Listen to a guy just play guitar or just look at a guy because his shirt is off and he's playing guitar. Hmm...so it really doesn't matter then what he's playing, you just want to see a guy, playing with his shirt off? What would you think if I said to Pat Benetar, "I don't care how well you sing, I just want to see your tits"? Kinda stupid, don't you think?
@DickLodge68 who wouldnt rather "just listen to girls screaming their heads off instead of listening to the music of the beatles" , and you're right that would sound retarded if you said that to pat benatar + i dislike john mayer he's just a celeb
@MissWeird Maybe it's just me...I really don't know alot about Mayer, nor wish to. But you don't just become a celebrity. If you think he's just a celeb...okay...the only reason I know of him is because he really is a good guitarist. Where the whole celeb/guitarist thing got mangled...I really don't care. The bottom line for me is the music. I could care less about the stardom.....and I hate "reality " television. These people's ego's do not impress me!
@MrThunderbeast does he? really? prove this statement correct, prove you are better than he, and then make another statement saying why and how you were completely wrong.
@Johann759 yes john mayer is extremly famous. free fallin, body is wonderland, clarity, are just a view good ones m sure youve heard. there are many others too, hes also an amazing singer
I love Eddie. I'm not a Mayer fan, but I have to say it was fun watching him having such a blast playing Panama. Sure, it was far from perfect (no EVH cover is), but I applaud him for performing such an unexpected cover. Nice job.
so hendrix should have never covered all along the watchtower and clapton should have never covered crossroads?? they both put those songs on the map because of their covers...but obviously no one else should ever cover anything
Hey joe was a cover, several of Led Zeppelins songs were copied off of old blues songs. GnR copied Knockin on Heavens door, so did several other bands.
I am still trying to find where the "treat" part is... hopefully a towel to clean up the blood that is pouring out of my ears after listening to this garbage!
deavid lee roth isn't talking about gettting off ina car hey i'm of irish desent born in alabama i guess that makes me a desent irishman or a peckerwood redneck
Seriously, John Mayer is a mediocure guitarist. My best friend plays ten times better! First he kills Beat It AND NOW he's killed Panama!!! That's two Eddie Van Halen songs!! Stop trying to immitate Van Halen you can flippin' do it, John!!! Not only that the singer's off key!!! To sum it up....LAAAAAAAMMMME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People, take a chill pill. He's clearly not trying to be serious with this cover. They're just having some dumb fun, being entertainers and probably entertaining themselves quite a bit as well. Sometimes you don't need to play a song well for everyone in the room to enjoy it - just the sheer fact that you're doing it is good enough for the crowd.
@ cherryburstlesspaul k dude i know i did not just read you saying john is better than van halen because thats just being stupid, hence why john is playing a halen song because he is better than halen right... no halen is in a league of his own, john is good but to say he plays with more feeling than halen and people from back then is just stupid, have you ever even seen a halen concert? it is the definition of feeling.

I love Eddie. I'm not a Mayer fan, but I have to say it was fun watching him having such a blast playing Panama. Sure, it was far from perfect (no EVH cover is), but I applaud him for performing such an unexpected cover. Nice job.

so hendrix should have never covered all along the watchtower and clapton should have never covered crossroads?? they both put those songs on the map because of their covers...but obviously no one else should ever cover anything

The list goes on.
Hey joe was a cover, several of Led Zeppelins songs were copied off of old blues songs. GnR copied Knockin on Heavens door, so did several other bands.

i love John Mayer's soul when he plays, its unmistakable. You can tell he really feels what he's playing, like a musical orgasm, i'd say? hahaha

Seriously, John Mayer is a mediocure guitarist. My best friend plays ten times better! First he kills Beat It AND NOW he's killed Panama!!! That's two Eddie Van Halen songs!! Stop trying to immitate Van Halen you can flippin' do it, John!!! Not only that the singer's off key!!! To sum it up....LAAAAAAAMMMME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lurvs2snuggle1993 2 years ago
People, take a chill pill. He's clearly not trying to be serious with this cover. They're just having some dumb fun, being entertainers and probably entertaining themselves quite a bit as well. Sometimes you don't need to play a song well for everyone in the room to enjoy it - just the sheer fact that you're doing it is good enough for the crowd.

@ cherryburstlesspaul k dude i know i did not just read you saying john is better than van halen because thats just being stupid, hence why john is playing a halen song because he is better than halen right... no halen is in a league of his own, john is good but to say he plays with more feeling than halen and people from back then is just stupid, have you ever even seen a halen concert? it is the definition of feeling.
esplanade254 2 years ago 3
nah, bro. van halen = tapping. tapping is stupid and sounds like shit and requires no feeling at all.
