So do we have any Mayer fans on this board?

I hope so! If you've never heard of him I suggest that you check his stuff out. He is a very talented singer/song writer/ guitarist/ goofball Laughing .

http://www.johnmayer.com

I would also like to note that live John Mayer sounds so much better than Room For Squares. I've never been to a John Mayer concert but I was lucky enough to find several live versions of JM songs on the net. Some songs aren't even released JM stuff.

I also plan on getting a copy of Any Given Thursday very soon. I haven't saw the DVD yet.. but I've saw footage from it. It looks amazing.

I like John Mayer's cover of the song Kid A.

I dig. He is amazing live. I saw him and my fav band Guster play together a year ago and they were amazing. I think he is a very talented songwriter.

I kinda feel sorry for him and Norah Jones because they have been around for awhile and all of a sudden people are calling them sellouts and stuff. Its crazy. Room for Squares was out for longer than a year before the radio even heard of him.

But seriously.. if you sit down and really listen to John Mayer he doesn't sound THAT much like DMB. I grant you he does a little.. but I wouldn't say he was DM rip off.

I mean... The Elms sound like different bands.. and people don't go around calling them "Beatle Rip offs" now do they? They have their own style. And so does John.

"This will all make perfect sense someday." -John

Speaking of John being a "dave mathews rip off" I heard this song he did .. he was pretending to be DM. It was so funny. I have no idea where I found the song.. or where the mp3 is. If I could find it I would share it with you guys. Cool

doesn't he do that song about the winter wonderland... or alice's body and wonderland. I dunno. I like his kid a cover... I didn't think the song could be converted to acoustic guitar, so he gets points

Well... I didn't think the song could be converted to acoustic guitar well. But he does a very good job. And it's interesting to hear a "human" voice singing the song. Both things change the song significantly, but it's still undeniably Kid A. Very interesting and well done... in my opinion.

But I'm no John Mayer fan. Not because I hate what I've heard by him... but because I haven't liked what I've heard enough to inspire me to check out more of his music. Maybe one day.

Yeah, I was just waiting for you to say something about Mayer here. I'm not a "fan". I don't own any albums (lemonhead, could you help me with that?) Wink but, from what i've heard he's really good.

My vote goes for the tour.

Laughing That would be "Your Body Is A Wonderland." Not one of Mayer's best. But it's okay. I like the melody.


My most favorite JM song is "Why Did You Mess With Forever?"
Lyrics

Haha. If this Leomonade person keeps hooking people up with JM stuff.. John's going to go broke. Haha. Teasing.

I'll see what I can do. Wink

Yes. That song is very good! It's in my Top 5 list of JM songs.

The intro where he is humming makes me laugh. I don't know why.. it's just funny to me that he is humming.

I know.. I'm odd. Embarassed

Have any of you heard his cover of "Wind Cries Mary"? It's wonderful. Cool
