Thank you. Lets have a moratorium on Mayer threads. It's like the old Beatles or Stones, Ginger or Maryann arguments. There's no answer and we've heard all the opinions over and over already.

John Mayer isn't a guitar hero, imo

John Mayer is a good guitar player no doubt about it. As for being a hero, I don't think so. Guitar hero's not only shred at their instruments but they also write amazing songs and riffs that transcend time. For example, John hasn't written a song like "Little Wing" yet.

it's does'nt matter what I think or even what you guys think.. He's got five grammy's, and kick $@! sleeve and is dating jennifer aniston.. He's prolly not worried about rather you think is a guitar god or not. Kanye said it best.. "you can't tell me nuttin" and Im sure that's what he's thinking

Oh yeah, if I were him I'd be laughing all the way to the bank. Half the people who think he sucks can't even play near as well as he can. I've always loved the way guitar players judge those better then them.

We're not jealous of his Girlfriends, at least I'm not. I've waited in line behind Jennifer Aniston at the supermarket, without a makeup department, she's the definition of plain. We're all jealous of him playing with BB King, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Double Trouble, and those kind of things that guitar players dream of.

If you want a hot chick, date a Hooters Waitress, celebrities are usually pretty beat up from lights, makeup, long hours, fat farms, and the requisite battle with addiction.

I never said he sucked, I think John's a good player. I have his albums and they are good, but the songs don't stoke me like Stevie Ray, Hendrix, Page, Beck, The "Kings" and some others. I've listened to each of his albums at least twice and they just don't grab hold of me and say, "WOW" this song kicks $@!."
I'm no judge and I'm not trying to be but the cold hard fact in my life is when I want to listen to some great songs his albums just don't come to mind.

No man, I didn't mean you. It was a general statement. I'm not a huge fan either. I just don't understand the venom that spews from the message boards about him. Most of the people putting him down can't do what he does.

It's all good, I was actually responding to the first statement but I quoted from your post. I apologize for that. :(

I totally agree with you. He's not there yet but I am deffinately rooting for him. I think his song writing has really come a long way. His guitar playing has always been there he just didnt let it go before the way he does now. And that is a great song quote.

There are 823 posts about John...and that's just in the threads with his name in them. I know there's alot more about John in threads that aren't named for him. There's probably a couple thousand posts in here about Mayer already.

Isn't that enough? :roll: :roll:
