You mad son? Good. What you did was say that I was hating on John Mayer because I don't agree with your opinion. Your little list of "Oh John I Love You's" has nothing to do with the conversation at hand because most people, save for you, don't take that nonsense into account when coming to a decision about John Mayer the GUITAR PLAYER. You're the one who turned it into a little fact fest about things not based on his guitar playing in an effort to defend him and then started running around like an infant in his diapers asking people to dispell what you posted. You posted TRUE FACTS not based on his playing but based on your love for the guy, and that's fine. Note: no one "disrespected" you until you got all upset and started saying anyone who didn't agree with you was a hater.

See you in the "What's your favortie color thread". Oh wait, obviously you fav color is the "John Mayer Black signature model"

I'm done sonning you. Now take a seat next to the teenie boppers and go ferk yourself while listening to the new album.

To assume that John Mayer is no longer a guitarist is misleading. Though the material he released nowadays is probably not pleasing to the ears to most of us here in the forums, I must say that JM is exploring all of his options, possibly in the interest of making himself richer. I actually respect him for that. I don't think he gives a flying F as to what we think about his music. But none of us here can say that JM's skills as a guitarist are mediocre, nor can we say he's selling out or gone wimpy. You never know what the guy is capable of doing, I mean, we don't hang out with the guy or see him 24/7. For all we know, he might have a bunch of Ibanez JEMs or Charvel San Dimas', and actually shreds his heart out before he goes to sleep. I remember one time in a guitar interview article, he cited Nuno Bettencourt as one of his influences. Just because he doesn't release the stuff we want to hear does not mean his chops have gone dull.

you tell him dbr2026! i think your telling jromanov off real good. you sure got yourself all puffed up over this whole John Mayer bit. If you claim that you dont like him and dont care why are you putting so much effort into this thread? there is no need to start throwing around insults, it just makes you look foolish.

Like I said, i didn't start the argument, but simply diasgreeing with someone else and not sharing the same opinion as them doesn't make you a hater. That's always the case these days when you don't agree with someone, you're a "hater". Not puffed up at all, believe me, it takes a lot more than this to get me riled up. But when the debate is about music and someone wants to post things not music related about an artist and use that as their line of defense, then it should be addressed. I didn't insult anyone until that poster decided to tell me my dislike for Mayer is actually hate. I don't hate anyone or anything, hate is a very strong word to throw around and using that word, well that is worthy of being insulted. I'm done with the back and forth though. The conversation has gone from music to his pop culture status, who he has dated and how much money he has, which is completely off topic.

i happen to beleive that his pop culture status is relevant as it pertains to this thread. It demonstrates his level of success. the bottom line is that this debate will never end because it is based 100% on opinion. no matter how many FACTS anyond tries to discuss it wont matter because it is up to an individuals opinion as to whether they agree or disagree.

All of this is not doing anyone any good. We are known on the web as being a friendly, helpful, and welcoming site. I wish each could post his opinion and move on. You are not going to change someone's opinion so let it be. I'm a little embarrassed at how we are behaving and how new members or visitors will perceive us.

Not directed at any member, just an observation. Peace!

Well stated Hop.

Then we will have to agree to disagree respectfully. To ME, when I see a topic called "John Mayer: No longer guitarist" and the lead post coming from someone who says he has been a big fan of Mayer's states:



Then to me the conversation has nothing to his pop culture status or success but about the music he is putting out and the music he put out on this new release. My posts and opinion of the guy have to do with the music, as I could care less about his life, celeb status or anything other than what i hear when he plays guitar. The conversation that was being had was based on the music until someone decided to take it in aother direction and then things got off topic.

I agree with FHopkins, and thanks for being a voice of reason FHop you're always good for keeping things in line around here when needed and getting us all refocused on why we are here, because the music and Fender instruments brought us together.

I apologize to anyone I may have offended and even to Romanov. What we have is a difference of opinion. I am not a hater for mine and you are not wrong for having yours either.

Going to go have dinner and play some Telecaster now. Catch you guys later.

Screw JM. He may be a dope guitar player, but every album he has put out is garbage. You dont think this guy can get paid playing blues? He plays this crap so he can make a boat load of money rather than the measly 2 mil he would pull in rocking the blues. Its all over-produced dribble for the mindless whordes of teenage pop enthusiasts. I file him under LAME with Metallica.

Like you said fhop.Used to be people were polite, now, not so much.
