So why aren't the 14 year forum members posting Polls about John Mayer's girlfriends?

I guess they haven't "noticed" girls yet.

Wait a couple years, eh?

Sounds like a good idea for a Playboy issue. The Girls Of John Mayer.

Did you notice that I brought up a few JM threads? :roll:

He IS a Fender Artist and needs the constant attention here.

Enjoy. :wink:

I cringe because so many of them are just "is john worthy" threads that regurgitate that same points over and over and over and over......it's like the conservative/liberal arguments these days. There's just no middle.

Right. So I thought a different approach was necessary. John Mayer: The Tattooed Man.

John Mayer: Hot Stars Love Him.

He's a awesome guitarist. There have been gods at the guitar but still, John Mayer should be reconized. He's got great songs that go with his great paying. A better voice than most of those stupid voices I hear on XM radio or FM radio. Another favorite of mine is Dave Matthews.

I wanted to wait a while before I made up my mind on this issue. I think that Mayer will be more remembered as a singer-songwriter than he will as a guitarist. Yes, the man has got some amazing chops; no, I don't think that he should be considered a blues guitarist; yes, he should feel as though he is accepted as a fabulous guitarist in the guitar playing world; no, he should not be on the level of heroism or individuality or inovation that Stevie Ray and Hendrix and Clapton were and are.




But, hey, what happens happens, ya know??? 8)

I still think it's too early to judge JM on how he'll be remembered. He's got a long career to go. I remember after Layla and other Love Songs EC disappeared into a heroin fog. A lot of us thought he was done. Another 60's blues rocker to fade into obscurity. Now he's a legend. Wait till JM's in his 50 or 60's. He might be a legend too.

Yeah, but by Dereck and the Dominoes Eric had already been with with The Yardbirds, John Mayall and Cream. Plus he worked with the Beatles. If EC had dissapeared, he'd have left a legacy bigger tha Hendrix. If John Mayer were to dissapear, his Mom would be terribly worried, but no one else would notice.

I don't think thats a reflection on JM. It's more a point of there are no great blues/rock bands these days. If there were, JM would be in a few of em. Eric had the advatage of being there at the beggining of a genre. Were Eric to release his first album today kids would be screaming he's slow and he's no SRV.
