Loving both Mayer and Radiohead, (Radiohead more) I gotta say I love this. It takes a song written on a 505 sequencer and adapts it to a acoustic. The result? A simple tune that merges the lovable simplicity of John Mayer's pop with the darkness of Kid A. It's a mixture of two artists that make a result I've never thought would work/be possible. I love it to death.
The balls on this guy!!! Following up on something Radiohead previously did is incredibly difficult. I love Radiohead, but I also appreciate John Mayers' talent as a musician... and dont say he doesnt have any, because then you've obviously never heard play the blues on his guitar.
@HybridHalfie exactly. he did a new, brilliant cover, and did not try to copy Radiohead. doing a Kid A cover is hard as fuck, but John Mayer got it right.
@acev127 Good point, however; Thom went through a period where he thought he sounded like chris martin (of coldplay). The last thing he wanted was to sound like chris martin, who is pretty much a sell out. So Thom wanted his voice distorted. Nowadays, he has no problems with his voice. Which doesn't sound like martin's.. maybe similar at best
@geoffkilian Yah i thought it was something like that. Good thing he doesnt have a problem with his voice anymore, we wouldnt have had In Rainbows or Hail to the Theif D:
Even the biggest John Mayer worshipper has to admit this is a pretty awful cover. The iconic titlesong of one of the best albums of the last decade reduced to a lousy popsong.
so much respect for john mayer, it's a shame that purist hipsters/snooty ass self proclaimed music critics can't look past the fact that he has some pop songs and appreciate that john mayer is probably one of the best, if not the best, musician in the mainstream, and has plenty of songs that aren't like that
@tzjc24 I don't have an issue with you not liking John Mayer; I don't even like him very much, I just think this cover is cool. My issue was the assumption that anything 'mainstream' automatically sucks, period.
For all of those hating on Mayer. He's probably the best guitarist to come out of the mainstream in the last 20 years as well as being one of the most prolific songwriters. I'll admit I'm not a fan of his most most recent stuff but I picked up a guitar and fell in love with music because of this guy.
@ShinSUREYOUCAN You really...really don't know what your talking about. I'll direct you to Covered in Rain on Any Given Thursday, skip to about 2:45. His style mirrors Stevie's and he rips absolute face. He works a Strat better than anybody sense SRV.
@taylor6string So basically one similiar arrangement defines him as a SRV reincarnate? If your going by that logic, call me Paul Gilbert. I can play his licks so that makes me the II. I'm done here.
@ShinSUREYOUCAN My SRV reincarnate statement was directed at brewmas7er because of what he said in response to my original comment. Now you made me lie.
P.S: Name calling is a symptom of a lack of intelligence.
@taylor6string Okay maybe not lower than 100. But top 3 is too much. If you said 10 years, that MAY be acceptable. But the 90s was one of the best times for rock. What about Jonny Greenwood, Dan Auerbach, Jonny Buckland, Kurt effing Cobain, Adam Jones, Graham Coxon, Matthew Bellamy, Noel Gallagher? Much, much more. And they all came from very known bands.
@feiy06 Your confusing great music writers and great music makers with guitarist. I'm probably the biggest Auerbach fan you could ever meet, seen him 3 times, and I'll easily say that John Mayer is a better guitar player. I like the music of every person you mentioned better than any of John Mayer's, but, that doesn't mean they play the guitar better than him.
@taylor6string KURT COBAIN ARE YOU SERIOUS?? okay honestly kurt cobain was not that great of a guitar player dude wtf is wrong with u. Kurt cobain was known for his voice and songwriting as the frontman of nirvana, not because he was an amazing guitar player. ur an idiot
@feiy06 KURT COBAIN ARE YOU SERIOUS?? okay honestly kurt cobain was not that great of a guitar player dude wtf is wrong with u. Kurt cobain was known for his voice and songwriting as the frontman of nirvana, not because he was an amazing guitar player. ur an idiot
@feiy06 Kurt Cobain is one of the most overrated guitar players of all time. He was so mediocre at playing the guitar. It's ridiculous. Now, if you were talking about song writing, then I would be agreeing with you. But one of the best GUITAR PLAYERS of the 90's? Not even close. And where the fuck is Billy Corgan on your list? He'd shred the faces off of every single one of those guitar players.
@Brown86Town I don't like Kurt Cobain. I do think he's overrated. But overrated doesn't have the same meaning as not talented. But you know what, I will stop arguing because you are clearly a master of music appreciation.
@Brown86Town I don't know why people talk about cobain's guitar playing obviously you haven't heard any of his early work. Most ignorant people that say he was a bad guitarist only heard his chord songs or popular songs. I suggest listening to endless nameless, aero zeppelin, love buzz and many of his early songs before you criticize his guitar skills. In fact since his guitar skills are so 'mediocre' why don't you cover endless nameless?
@iMovT Dude, I own everything commercially released by the band, countless live shows and numerous bootlegs. They are a good BAND!!! You obviously have no clue what an opinion is. In my eyes, he was a great song writer and a mediocre guitarist. And btw, Endless Nameless is a terrible fucking song when it comes to guitar. JUST MY FUCKING OPINION! So don't open your mouth like you know what I'm listening to like an idiot.
@Brown86Town That's fine. that is your opinion but most ppl who say kurt was a bad guitarist only heard popular nirvana songs. I assumed you were one of those ppl. Of course he's overrated guitarist etc.. but he's not a mediocre guitarist or one of the best guitarist. He's not Petrucci or Satriani but he definitely knew how to play guitar well. He produced great feedback and good anti solos. Grunge isn't about playing long amazing solos, so it wasn't his style to play structured solos.

@michaelmoore55 to RH fans, obviously Kid A is huge and Thom always lights up when he perfoms it, it's very loved by us fans...but I know lots of people who are casual listeners who know EIIRP, Idioteque, even HTDC,but don't take the time to involve in a great song like Kid A, too much work, RH are a thinking person's band...Not obscure in a RH persons life, but many miss the real gems..that's all I was pointing out..I don't think Mayer's version improves on it and he's just being trendy...
John's a talented guy, John Frusciante is closer to spirit of playing like Jimi, without trying...but Mayer's a fine player, however, this makes me think he's trying to cover all his bases.One way to make sure the kids think he's hip is to cover a song that really should only get sung by Thom Yorke...It just feels like by doing an obscure Radiohead song, he's enticing kids who woudn't listen to him but want to hear any RH cover, but at least Yorke's writing is getting the credit it deserves...
Mayer probably just enjoys radiohead and decided to do a cover, why do you have to assume he has a million other ulterior motives? At the end of the day, it's out, and meant to be enjoyed.
John Mayer is an amazing musician. Sure he has his pop hits, but he clearly is a 'guitar-god' of our generation...something that passed on from Jimi to SRV to him. And you can't really call someone "FUCKING RETARDED SHIT" when he has played with Buddy Guy, BB King and Clapton. His style of music is clearly different to Radiohead's and also this is an ACOUSTIC cover - you can't expect it to be exactly the same, cause that's why they are called COVERS and not Xerox Copied Music, whatever that is.
@bigpimpin4500 of course not. Jimi is one off. There can't be another one. But in our generation if there's anyone who can come close to that status, it's John.
Apple is celebrating its anniversary on Youtube! Anybody on You Tube who sees this comment and then texts #APPLE# to "46786" get a special gift from Apple!
@Stophocles Can you make any good music of your own? John Mayer has played with B.B. King, THE Eric Clapton, and Buddy Guy. His music is subject to highly positive reception from fans and critics alike.
@philliesfan099 Ya same here. He did a damn good job with this cover. He definitely brings out a much deeper emotion then the original version. I still like the Radiohead version, I'm just saying...
I had no idea how great this cover was going to be. I originally only listened out of curiosity, but he really did this song justice. I don't like John Mayer at all but I listen to this song all the time. It's so hauntingly beautiful.
I expected this to be bad. I was pleasantly surprised. Still not Thom Yorke, but its still great.

@ jonnyziwiciel I'm like every other muso, and yes sometimes I have an opinion. Of the hundreds of compliments I've given on yt, occasionally you get affected and it brings out something else...It's really a form of caring for the art, even a critique...I didn't say he was awful or bieber or something stupid, just how his presentation was absorbed by me...According to much of the music I"ve heard him do, this feels calculated to me, thasall...I"d have liked to hear him do PLSIACTB, or Bends...

@michaelmoore55 to RH fans, obviously Kid A is huge and Thom always lights up when he perfoms it, it's very loved by us fans...but I know lots of people who are casual listeners who know EIIRP, Idioteque, even HTDC,but don't take the time to involve in a great song like Kid A, too much work, RH are a thinking person's band...Not obscure in a RH persons life, but many miss the real gems..that's all I was pointing out..I don't think Mayer's version improves on it and he's just being trendy...
mppaiges 5 months ago
John's a talented guy, John Frusciante is closer to spirit of playing like Jimi, without trying...but Mayer's a fine player, however, this makes me think he's trying to cover all his bases.One way to make sure the kids think he's hip is to cover a song that really should only get sung by Thom Yorke...It just feels like by doing an obscure Radiohead song, he's enticing kids who woudn't listen to him but want to hear any RH cover, but at least Yorke's writing is getting the credit it deserves...
mppaiges 5 months ago
@mppaiges Kid A is far from an obscure radiohead song, I'd say one of the best. fan favorite for sure
michaelmoore55 5 months ago
@mppaiges
Mayer probably just enjoys radiohead and decided to do a cover, why do you have to assume he has a million other ulterior motives? At the end of the day, it's out, and meant to be enjoyed.
JonnyZywiciel 4 months ago
@mppaiges why should it only get sung by Thom Yorke? is Mayer not "qualified" to sing this song? confused...

I think John Mayer's music is mediocre, but this cover is interesting.
squanto2 5 months ago
John Mayer is an amazing musician. Sure he has his pop hits, but he clearly is a 'guitar-god' of our generation...something that passed on from Jimi to SRV to him. And you can't really call someone "FUCKING RETARDED SHIT" when he has played with Buddy Guy, BB King and Clapton. His style of music is clearly different to Radiohead's and also this is an ACOUSTIC cover - you can't expect it to be exactly the same, cause that's why they are called COVERS and not Xerox Copied Music, whatever that is.

@maestro723 this is a good, john mayer is good, he is not jimi hendrix, jonny greenwood isnt even jimi, i am sorry, calm down
bigpimpin4500 5 months ago
@bigpimpin4500 of course not. Jimi is one off. There can't be another one. But in our generation if there's anyone who can come close to that status, it's John.

@maestro723 xerox copied music is what you hear on the radio 90% of the time from the likes of little wayne,lady gaga, keisha and katy perry
sounds the same produced by the same companies and meant to reach the same audience.. ppl who dont know and appreciate good true music..

@Stophocles haha, i find it quite funny how you think John Mayer camt write good music, maybe you should listen to the lyrics, than the actual song.
Halo54345 5 months ago
@Stophocles Can you make any good music of your own? John Mayer has played with B.B. King, THE Eric Clapton, and Buddy Guy. His music is subject to highly positive reception from fans and critics alike.

I came here expecting this to be worse than awful. I guess I was wrong. It is possible to cover this song with a guitar only. I'm blown away.

I had no idea how great this cover was going to be. I originally only listened out of curiosity, but he really did this song justice. I don't like John Mayer at all but I listen to this song all the time. It's so hauntingly beautiful.
