John Mayer Interview on the Bobby Bones Show 

Gareth Bush greatest idea ever

imagine having him on JRE #999

AndersLoewfeldt let's start a petition.

He is really so articulate in his words these days - i agree. I think he has learned a lot form working with the Dead - Bob Weir and the likes. I would be a diehard fan of a John Mayer podcast. Great idea!

I would listen in a friggin' heartbeat. John's language borders poetic sometimes, and I think he would definitely hold his own as an interviewer

Christian you got that right

fuck yeah! loved the question about Clay , I always wondered about that .

Christian yup

yes. I'm so glad I watched this. I always wondered about his time in Atlanta and how things ended with Clay. His depth in this interview shows the real him. IT would be amazing to have a 3 am talk with him.

YES! Even the interviewer was speechless when he told that story!

This is late but right as I read this comment, I heard him say, "um" twice in like a minute lol. He definitely doesn't use fillers that much. For a good speaker like John, I'm pretty sure he uses "um" to not sound arrogant... like he knows the answer right as you ask a question.

EXTREMELY intelligent...

So true

Thats more a thing of habit and practise rather than intelligence Dont get me wrong, this man is smart as hell, but thats not an indicator of that

he's so generous, and he LOVES talking process. incredible!

Dam right straight to his heart.. I mean to the point

And in a multi-million dollar watch collection lol

svfutbol20 no correlation between money and happiness

I hope the Dead and Co. are giving him some wisdom like only they can... Free your mind and your ass will follow John! Looking forward to seeing you take it to the next gear.

@@yomamasushi9776 Money buys freedom, freedom buys happiness. One buys a guitar not to own it, but to play music with it. Whether or not he enjoys the music and finds happiness in it is entirely separate from the price of the instrument.

Israel Fresse well said

He used to have a cocky demeanor about him. He’ll likely tell you that, but not at all anymore. He’s a fun guy to listen to now a days.

Dude literally just called himself a jedi. Proud yes, but also certainly cocky.

I love the way he listens to his own music.

@@outtanuttin Jedi aren't cocky. Jedi know they are in tune with the Force or else they wouldn't be much of a Jedi. Writing music feels like you've tapped into something deep inside of you and all around you, very much like the Force. When John wrote "Still Feel Like Your Man", he clearly had a moment like that. It was a comparison to explain how the song came along. It didn't come across as "look at how strong I am with the Force". Personally, I loved hearing this because it's inspiring to hear that musicians of his tenure still get that feeling.

Amen! Well said. I can understand constructive criticism of an artist, but this inexplicable hate? Just don't get it. Love the place he is now in musically - both with his solo stuff and with Dead & Company.

wildgrlie55 yesss!!!! I agree! He's amazing and he is so under rated.

I feel like he doesn't get enough credit for where he's at too. Yeah, he's said and done some stupid stuff but he's admitted that it was bc of his pride and vulnerabilities and insecurities when he was young and figuring out how to deal w being in the spotlight 24/7. I think people have this idea in their head that he's this asshole musician when in fact he's the complete opposite and this interview shows that perfectly.

I agree! He's such a deep and intellectual human. I'd love to have coffee with him and just hear his take on so many subjects.

I agree ! Love how he has evolved and is so comfortable in his skin , honest and open , and grateful .Gives to who is around him and his fans. He loves where he's at, and its inspiring to watch his smiling face

Ive been thinking this forever. YES

1000000%!!!

i second that

That would be dope. I think Joe would call him on any phony bs.

I'm down

It happens at 5:55.

I love ❤️ this man🎉🎉🎉🎉

lol I noticed that too, shes def DTF

what girl wouldn't instantly fall in love with john mayer

Her panties were absolutely soaked by the end of the interview.

@@jhopkins213 Shit, MY panties were absolutely soaked by the end of the interview... Why am I wearing panties you ask? Well that's just none of your goddamn business ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ah and see my comment. Which isn't necessarily UNTRUE, it's just it's very funny how unconsciously he does it - like, I am a one woman man so I make that comment of course just because of background - but its so funny how he unconsciously gets 'womazing' because of just how he does it. I'm good with women - pretty good actually - because of looks but I have pretty good muscles and looks for a guy! I'm very genuinely nice to woman (which I'm proud of) but this is kind of like a "level above" attracting women to what he says. Which is kind of why I like his interviews lol because he shows me what to 'work on' for what women can like - sensitivity, mysteriousness, etc. which is just idk entertaining. That being said, don't try disrespecting woman as a start because that's a TERRIBLE start. it's a weird dynamic. What I mean to say is, this dude is super cool but I wouldn't necessarily do what he does for chicks. And it's okay. Cool ! ok bye!

when he say that the world is bendable.. thats some Neo shit right ther

i think he has a lot of IQ. Like a really big IQ, probably one of the biggest out there. At least 5 more than everyone else.

Yes, he has a great flow in his talking. I bet he could get himself off to his own voice

Calling John Mayer a "phenomenal lyricist" is indicative of a lack of awareness of phenomenal lyricism. He's a phenomenal artist and guitarist, though.

C L Yeah sure bud, not a phenomal lyricist even though every John Mayer song is written by John Mayer. Those songs got him famous, by the way

Hahahaha totally!

Asmr?????

JoshMetal316 its like when ur voice is soothing but sometimes uncomfortable

@@bangermccrusher Aurally Simulating Mental Rape

Faxxx

As Eric Clapton stated - a master of the guitar

No such thing.

@@ZakEdwardsOfficial you know better than eric clapton?

@@ZakEdwardsOfficial absolutely there are masters. No one ever stops learning but for sure there are masters...even while they still learn.

@@coonjamalay Lol. He's just jealous.

Ana Aguilar He cant sing. His vocals are a cheap imitation of SRV when he’d sing slow songs.

You're really sold on your own interpretation of his vocals, eh? Tell you what, do it better than Stevie - Then come back to me and allow yourself to judge the people that he inspired.

So sold, in fact, that you find the incessant and inane need to comment on how terrible you think it is.

@@dedompler Opinions, opinions. Though I do think that he does overdo it sometimes (as in "Bold as Love"), but it's okay. The guitar playing we can all agree on as phenomenal.

His parents were educators...

progtoeternity Only if he’d stop singing and just play guitar. His voice is unbearable, a cheap SRV imitation.

@@JerryRiceBall I think you're alone on that one buddy

You read my mind....

i'd buy that book if i had to go to the ends of the world.

I have always said he should write a book. I don't know what it would be about, but it would be so interesting nonetheless!

relatable songs sell, thats why

​@@Kurtis11266can you elaborate?

@@vadir3517 If you relate to a song you're more likely to like the song, simple.

I saw him live and he was singing this song and he was so pumped. I was expecting a little sad something but no my man was jamming I was like ok John do the thing 💕💕💕💕

All of Stop This Train completely wrecked me when I first heard it. Probably the saddest, most relatable song for me.

@@cebrinpitts All of Born And Raised the song is brutal too once you get there in your life. I'd say late 20's that song hits you like a bus

Jordan McGinnis I’m only 18 but I still everyday feel like I missed out on my childhood. My parents never married (I saw both of them 3-4 times a week) but My mom worked 2-3 jobs at a time. I didnt play with my dog enough, I took her for granted until I knew she was gonna pass in April, I Just was social awkward and I feel like I missed out on my childhood and knowing you’ll never be able to get that time back Makes Born and Raised Fuckin Steamroll u with emotion.

@@Jake21128 We all have regrets...with hindsight. That is how we grow. You're 18...u have your whole life ahead of you. Forgive yourself (and others)....move forward and ENJOY YOUR LIFE (with a little JM music by your side). All the best.

Scott Hazlewood 💯👍🏼

Yes , wish I could have worded it right , but yes.

Samira Azeez not even close to the greatest guitarist. Good yes but there are many way more interesting

sjwthemule1 not in this generation lol.

HE IS THE BEST GUITARIST ALIVE..you’re under a rock if you don’t agree...look him up live,all his covers,”slow dancing...” etc...

Yep, David. Good eye.

Thanks. Same to you! Even though I love my watches, I would never never picked up that was an AP unless you mentioned it.

You guys are amazing! I'm not a watch guy but had to re watch w/o sound to catch a glimpse and match it with David's link. More important, about your comment; I've been drawn into Mayer from the Dead space; but now that I've seen RU-vids of him with everyone... Crossroads, Stones, Leon Russell, Thundercat, Buddy Guy, BB, even Barbra Streisand and Steve Jobs, plus his own work (especially the JM Trio): Have to say, maybe not "the best", but his top-shelf skills, when combined with that self-awareness you mention make him an uncannily perfect fit everywhere! He is the "Guitar Zelig" of the generation.

He has like a multi-million dollar collection. Huge vintage Rolex and IWC guy

I'm always so engrossed when I hear John Mayer speak, he's matured to such a perfect mix of experienced talent and experienced self awareness.

Nice try john

Lmao I agree man john is articulate

Same

Hey bud I love you

I watched this interview maybe 6 times this past year. Sooo good

Roy Matz that says a lot also about Mayer because I haven't seen many people saying that to an interviewer.

707king I think you both just have a strong sense of self. You get yourself and a lot of people live their whole lives never really knowing themselves. I'm like that too. It can seem arrogant because people are taken aback because you know yourself so well. So they look at it as you being self centered. But that's not true. Taking time to understand why you are the way you are is so revelatory.

707king well said

mmm, I dunno. I understand exactly what you're saying, and have the same sensation of recognizing myself and the way I speak and think in him, but there is a difference between self awareness, and arrogance. He not only understands himself, but thinks extremely highly of himself and his opinions, and also is aware he is speaking eloquently, and enjoys that about himself. And to a certain extent consciously presents that. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with loving yourself, in fact to the contrary I wish more people did, but I think that's what people are picking up on when they say he's arrogant, rather than his self awareness, or elegance of speech. There's a way of being self-aware, and self-loving, without coming across as arrogant, or self-important.

Don't you just love people who self-diagnose........it's just so simple

I think you are way off ,nobody is mistaking self awareness with arrogance he is self aware and he is also very arrogant those things aren't mutually exclusive .He even admitted to it himself with his "big feet" analogy he is also very talented and intelligent and knows exactly what he is doing in his own words he knows how to "bend the world" . I am not taking anything away from him but this notion that he is this misunderstood artist is just wishful thinking from his adoring fans.None of the flak he has gotten has been due to misunderstandings .

I don’t see that. In earlier years there are moments John resembled Jack White from The White Stripes.

panamanianprincess22 John Mayer and Keith Urban. Both soooooo talented.

hahahha same

juanderful12 Yeah, I'm mad he didn't play "Your Body is a Wonderland," the girl I took who's dating me mostly because she says I look like a Latino Mayer would've gone nuts.

NirvanaFan4Life are you still dating her?

I was there,the tempo was pretty fast,like he wanted to hurry up and get it over with.

@@martinone9 yea its kinda off his vocal range rn since surgery so he had to improvise the vocals here and there

That's because you have not met me at 230 in The morning. Yet

the funny thing is if it was anyone but John she would think the guy was a total loser. also, was she serious when she asked "what do you think of my painting, as an artist?" you could see mayer was like :| "uhhhh"

Grassy Harkins, I know right! He played it off well.

Yes
