I dont think you understand how to use "incomparable"
yeah and selling thousands of albums with these "tributes" of respect without giving credit doesnt seem very commendable to me. have you ever had someone ask you, "have you heard free fallin? john mayer is such a great songwriter".....
@brightlights916 are you fucking kidding me dude? He just took a classic song and did his own version which honestly had better guitar than bob dylan ever did and it's fucking Bob Dylan dude his voice isn't exactly incomparable until you can make that song sound as good as John Mayer did how about you just do us all a favor and keep your fucking mouth shut
@BrightLights916 You're an idiot. Musicians don't do covers because they think they're better. They do it as a tribute to the original artists whom they respect and enjoy. Fuckin tard.
@newaccountdebzbd yea this is one of those songs no matter who covers it it cant be matched regardless... Dylan is the lyrical god we all know and i dont mind his guitar and vocals myself :)
@LUCKas1212 Van Morrison did a really interesting celtic-ish version of this in his earlier years. It's here on YT. Yeah, lyrical god, true. Dylan somehow touches a lyric vein that no one can match. Like a force of nature. Or Johnny Keats's negative capability. He can't escape. For an amazing look at Dylan's early years, see "Positively 4th Street" by David Hadju.
@newaccountdebzbd i agree he cant be matched by ANYONE i wish there were actually other singer/songwriters out there as good but as we all know, theres not.. cheers!
@pntblnguitarists, What do you mean? I'm just saying it's disappointing to me that someone like Mayer, whose singing and guitar playing I Iike, is such a self-absorbed whore because, otherwise, I'd be probably be a fan who buys and enjoys his music.
@etsneroj But he's not is what I mean. The guy has played Madison Square Garden but even still plays Hotel Cafe which is a smaller bar gig which you don't buy tickets to ( its free as far as I was told ). Don't be so crude.
@pntblnguitarists, Lots of big stars do little gigs for kicks, which is great. But I think he is a douche because I remember his egomaniacle attempts at stand up comedy where he'd attack other celebrities, while dating women like Jessica Simpson and saying nasty things about people in tabloid type publications. He acted like a self-absorbed child (like much of the "me generation"). Can you picture his heros, like Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton, acting like such a media whore?
Mayer's got the guitar down, for certain, but cannot upstage the two-part harmony done by PP&M--that put this song on the 'map' in the first place. Given the number of excellent vocalists available today why not do a modern trio version [correctly]??
Also, eliminating the comma after "Twice" in the title changes its meaning.
I guess there is nothing wrong with mayer. I mean, hes voice is good, the only thing thats wrong with him is his fans that I guess have no idea who bob dylan is!
Mayer jumps on the bandwagon, but the audience is deaf. They don't understand the lyrics and what they really mean. Mayer can't see that, and only wants to be 'cool'. Well, he isn't here. 'Cool' is dead. Cool is now 'American Idol'. But that's alright. Don't think twice. Accept mediocrity as the norm and be content. Fit in.
Text in your vote! Come on! 'Text' is now a verb. That's alright. Don't think twice.
WTF are you guys talkin abt...Bob Dylan fuckin wrote this...When Bob sings it, every word becomes a reality coz he knows what he's singing about...No cover can do that coz cover singers are not actually singing abt rolling stone or times changing...they are just singin a Bob Dylan song that makes them look cool...
@omarsabih thats ridiculous, I'm sure there are some artists out there who really know what the lyrics are about. If you are right, that would be really sad :( But I still think there are some true artists out there.
@omarsabih Yeah, only reason anyone covers a Dylan song! Definitely not cause Dylan's songs are some of the best ever written, definitely not cause there fun to sing and play, nope just to make them look cool! You've got it all down.
@omarsabih Well, don't tell Hendrix, or Clapton, or The Grateful Dead, or The Band, or Dylan himself, or any musician anywhere who has gleefully performed and interpreted the music of another songwriter. Saying that "no cover" can ever do an original justice is just criminally ignorant. The exceptions to this do not prove the rule, they destroy the rule.
@danjaja you don't even deserve to listen to a cover of this amazing song by DYLAN if you can't even spell his last name the right way. Dylan's voice and artistic vision is what makes him one of the best artists EVER. go die in a ditch, you dumbass
@blink182281knilb i mean no offense at all but i dont know if youve heard the actual dylan version of this song. I guess the way he puts the strings together in edge of desire is alot like dylans dont think twice its alright...imo... when i heard edge of desire the first thing i though of was dont think twice...
I generally like John Mayer when he plays his own songs - this I just couldn't get into. I thought the guitar playing was kinda lazy, and the whistling sounded like some random guy in the shower. I guess it could've just been him having a bad day or something. The singing was just ok - in tune but lacking the emotion the lyrics deserve. Overall this just seemed like a lazy cover - there are others on youtube that are much better.

@artaud23 complain complain complain? wth would you click on this if it said "John Mayer - Don't Think Twice It's All Right" just listen and enjoy johns amazing cover :)
It has been covered by so many people. Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, The Brothers Four, Chet Atkins, Nick Drake, Elvis Presley just to name a few. When you do a search you will come up with a lot more cover versions than Dylan versions. John Mayer's version isn't the best, but it's not bad. I like the song so much I listen to a lot of versions and few disappoint me much.
@mitjazz lol, true. I noticed too. His whistling is his achilles heel! Talented man, though. Nice cover of this Dylan song. I quite like Elvis's version too, actually.
I am sorry but he slaughtered a beautiful song. At least Susan Tedeschi's cover of it is beautiful. Damn, so disappointed! I wonder if he will actually ever write a song of his own or keep being a over produced "singer"?
@dylwil917 Check out Susan Tedeschi on her Austin City Limits show. Her version is fantastic and not just a copy of Bob Dylan's. I frankly think he is weak on his vocals, but I must be the only person in the universe who thinks so. Happy listening!

All I knew about him was his connecting with some hot ladies. I did not know anything about him. Now it all falls into place. hey, John,.... keep on keeping on.
I'm from Bob Dylan's generation and I enjoy the way John Mayer plays and sings it. It's true to the original version with just enough difference (strummed rather than fingerpicked) to make it his own.
Eric Clapton does it in his own rock/blues style on the Bob Dylan 30th anniversary show and brings the roof down. Incredible. So it's good the song works well in more than one way.
@jwizzie23 Nobody sings Dylan like Dylan. His album version is the best ever, and his live versions come after that. No one sings it nearly as great as he does every time.
@dollsizedpistol: I too was struck by the shimmering sound of the guitar. Is it possible that it's not just a guitar we're hearing--that someone on stage that we can't see in this video, is accompanying John Mayer on autoharp?
@kateandphoebe -- Martin OM (probably OMJM) most likely. Probably Martin SP phosphor bronze strings and capoed on 4. It's all acoustic guitar. Nice huh? ;-)
@kateandphoebe it's because he has a capo on the guitar. you can see him adjusting it at the very beginning of the clip. it raises the pitch of the guitar. good cover!
@mvalinsky Yeah, he definitely shouldn't gone with a harmonica. Still, not a bad rendition, and anything that keeps the spirit of Dylan alive is alright with me.
whatever, he's a talented musician. that's all

Not bad, but I like Claptons version from the Dylan 35th concert........

@jwizzie23 Nobody sings Dylan like Dylan. His album version is the best ever, and his live versions come after that. No one sings it nearly as great as he does every time.

@dollsizedpistol: I too was struck by the shimmering sound of the guitar. Is it possible that it's not just a guitar we're hearing--that someone on stage that we can't see in this video, is accompanying John Mayer on autoharp?

@kateandphoebe -- Martin OM (probably OMJM) most likely. Probably Martin SP phosphor bronze strings and capoed on 4. It's all acoustic guitar. Nice huh? ;-)

@kateandphoebe it's because he has a capo on the guitar. you can see him adjusting it at the very beginning of the clip. it raises the pitch of the guitar. good cover!

@DerekSMonzon a capo won't change the tone. the tone changes because he is strumming way down by the bridge

great cover. better than his sydney version, where (in my opinion) his vocals are just too much. less is more here.

His voice is fine here but his whistling ain't.

@mvalinsky Yeah, he definitely shouldn't gone with a harmonica. Still, not a bad rendition, and anything that keeps the spirit of Dylan alive is alright with me.
