5 of the 8 total members (including john) at his recent shows are black.

I can play guitar, write songs, twitter incessantly, be self-deprecating in a calculating way, and score sex with hot actresses and singers..... therefore... I must be admirable.I can't believe how many of you stand-up for a guy like John Mayer. Each one of you is why guys get a bad reputation. Precisely because you empower and encourage this kind of BS in other men.What happened to chivalry, courage, letting your art speak for itself, humility, grace, compassion, wisdom.I see none of these in evidence by John Mayer on a regular basis---unless it serves to get him his preferred drug of choice, attention.He is not someone to be admired, thought highly of, or applauded. Most of his songs are rip-offs, are completely calculated. He says as much in his interviews. There is nothing unassuming and natural about him. He is not the blues. He's someone who can't get out of his own {censored}ing way to save his life and time will reveal this.And just because he is popular now don't mean {censored} in the long-term.
i completely respect your opinion, but can you relay the ripoffs? Your right about him not being blues though, continuum proved he's folk, R&B, soul, blues, pop, and rock.

He's since said that he told himself that he was going to be wide open in interviews, no holds bar, and now he sees that he might need to tone it down a bit. He's essentially a comedian, just check out clips of the show he used to have on vh1, their close to chappelle show quality.

are we thinking of the same 60's and 70's?
-
the band has a great rock & roll sound, but it is just TOO repetitive for me, almost like its a joke no-adays due to how repetitive it seems.
their tone is trumped by the complexity/evolution in many rock bands throughout the 60's and 70's.

nvm, i figured it out. the fender picks are made from celluloid which warps and breaks down in no time.
-
i play 11's and 12's hard with jazz III's and they take forever to wear down significantly so i don't what that dude is doing.
-
are their "marshalls" marshalls?
-
sucks if he does, cuz tone rolled back on a bridge PAF on a gibson is serious business.

"yea dude i use my stock original PAF" lol no {censored}, unless its overly microphonic

looks like they don't fly the Marshall flag. I have a feeling if those aren't vintage, they never came out of a Marshall factory.

I swear I saw him way it up on a live palladia concert.
-
doubt it. he never uses a wah?
-
but much of morello is misunderstood. His whole approach was to be the dj on guitar AND he doesn't play with much gain but plays very loud. RAGE was also one of the best produced bands of all time. There debut album is considered one of the pinnacles of studio sound and is sometimes used to test speakers, much as early VH was. Tom Morello IS the VH of the 90's though.

brought guitar to the forefront, created a whole generational movement (like it or not) and made something unordinary ordinary. Go ahead and put together a list of people who have also done this.
im not even a huge evh fan, but start making your list. -

most guitar players are "off-the-cuff" MAYBE 15-20% of the time.
-
he's actually a classically trained pianists, so musically he's probably MORE inclined than hendrix, beck, etc.

As if we needed it, now we have a reason to HATE John Mayer

his getting staff together right now to basically do the same bit he did on that show on CBS, should be happening soon.
