John Mayer and his new hot single - Love on the Weekend

Forums:

Just when you think he can't find that next gear, he somehow does it, again and again.

“Something about when Love on The Weekend hit, I was like, that’s the color for the painting that the painting didn’t have,” Mayer said. “While it’s probably the least representative of where the rest of the record is going in terms of its largess, I think it’s really necessary to let fans know that I still love making these kinds of songs. There’s no guitar solo in it, because the song doesn’t want one.” - J. Mayer

It's a Friday, we finally made it
I can't believe I get to see your face
You've been working and I've been waiting
To pick you up and take you from this place

Love on the weekend, love on the weekend
Like only we can, like only we can
Love on the weekend, love on the weekend
I'm coming up and I'm loving every minute of it

You be the DJ, I'll be the driver
You put your feet up in the getaway car
I'm flying fast like a, a wanted man
I want you, baby, like you can't understand

Love on the weekend, love on the weekend
We found a message in a bottle we were drinking
Love on the weekend, love on the weekend
I hate your guts 'cause I'm loving every minute of it

Oh oh oh

I gotta leave ya, it's gonna hurt me
My clothes are dirty and my friends are getting worried
Down there below us, under the clouds
Baby, take my hand and pull me down, down, down, down
And I'll be dreamin' of the next time we can go
Into another serotonin overflow

Love on the weekend, love on the weekend
I'm busted up but I'm loving every minute of it
Love on the weekend
Love on the weekend
I'm looking for a little love I'm looking for a little love, oh yeah
Love on the weekend
Love on the weekend
Love on the weekend

Tremendous addition to the Grateful Dead family!!

Steaming turd of a pop song. 

Jerry who?

It's all John from here on out!

You can really here how playing GD music has shaped both his playing and his songwriting.

I think it's very punk rock of him to elicit these feelings from y'all. 

That ain't punk, Slack. 

he's legally obligated to save any new guitar solos for deadco

it is a nice color. maybe it'll take over the "I will take you home" slot

I am unable to work up any interest in this topic.

I wish they would have put someone else in his spot, for the 2017 dead and co tour. To be honest the only reason he is in the line up is to sell tickets.

"largess"?

How does liking Mayer affect ones ability to get a seat at the Cool Kids table?

Is Green Day punk?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pussies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phone to John Lydon please?

What aiq said. 

is it worse than Bobby's "i want to live in  America?"

Serotonin overflow?

 

 

 

How come you don't write songs, Jam? I bet you could do some really good stuff for Ween. 

Usually i just cut and paste other ppls lyrics , and send them to my....favorite....bands.

"You be the DJ, I'll be the driver
You put your feet up in the getaway car
I'm flying fast like a, a wanted man
I want you, baby, like you can't understand"

Ha. Good fucking lord. No wonder Weir likes playing with Johnny boy. Gold.

I didn't like Chris Robinson or Ryan Adams. I love John Mayer though. That dude can shred. Great performer all around.

Fratdog or nothing.

It doesn't really get any lamer than that bullshit. It's fucking hysterical this guy plays in a band with Billy, bob and Mickey. Just terrible.

Should billy bob and mickey fire him, or just insist he writes more drug band oriented songs?

Sounds like a pop country song to me. While I don't like this song he does amazing work in Dead and Company. I'm a fan.

we all gotta eat

Some of his stuff from D and Co. from the 2nd set Gorge last summer was epic. I can't stand the guy, but was blown away by some of his second set pre drums jamming. Listen to a sound board of it. That's what turned me. But still think the guys a douche. Always will be probably.

Epic?

 

Serotonin overflow, maybe, joe, but epic???

 

Cmon

Listen and then comment. I would actually put those moments on my i-pod and I can't stand Mayer.

He is the real deal.  I don't care if he does his own thing.  IMHO that is what makes him more amazing to me.  JM has played with many talented

musicians through out his career, and there is no question that he can shred.  Don' t listen to this stuff, if you don't like it, but don't hate on him for it. 

Hello Joe, hope you don't mind if I don't call you Coolio, to lame of a name in my book.  Why do you hate JM?  Has he ever done anything to you?

No, i hear ya , joe, i did go see one show last year....and he impressed for sure...great eyes of world...(i blv it was first one w bass solo...the htfd show)...great deal....but, he s just not my style...

 

He can shred for sure...just watch him play hendrix....but, he writes crap, imo of course, i dont like his voice, and he doesnt shred nearly enough....again, all just my taste..my opinion etc...

 

I also will bust on anyone when word epic is used....unless of course....

 

Its epic

He's just a lame person imo. Big ego and arrogant. Ever read his interviews? And coolio was a flippant thought at the moment when I signed up. No ego involved. And I always liked you Chris, but your a pervert that I hope your kid never learns about for his sake.

Take it down a notch or two Joe.  I am only a perv on the Zone.  You might not know of the unspoken rule of the Zone when it comes to child rearing.

If you don't have anything positive to say STFU.  For realz don't be busting on people when you have no idea what type of parent they are.  The 

Zone is not the real world, and if I sometimes come off as a perv, it is because I am in make believe land.  Please don't bring up my relationship with

my child again.  I like you Joe, and would like to be Zoner buds with you.  So let's forget this conversation, and move on.

 

 

Why do you think JM is a lame person?  Give me some reasons why.  :)

Joe possibly this will help clear things up with the perv thing.  I am FB friends with a few Zoners, and I guarantee you all of them will tell you that I 

have never posted anything remotely perverted on FB.  So then I get the question: so why here.  Because it is a fun site where we can escape

reality, and make some jokes.  

Mayer recordings are like Clapton recordings. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Do your own research! I've got better things to focus on.

Yes I know you are Coolio, and have little time for a nerd like me.  I am trying to reach out to you for future friendship.  That is all.  

I agree with you Slacker,and would never listen to his solo stuff, but when he plays with Dead & Co he is damn good.  Plus he is still dating Katy

I do believe, and she is a fun hot rocker.  

Goodnight Chris or John or whoever you are.

Have a great night Joe.  

A lot of back peddling going on here

It really needs a crappier singer, and some auto-tune.

And it definitely needs a guitar solo, definitely

Jambone you will take what you get, and like it, or not.  J/K  

Don't care for it at all.

Nothing more than a Pop Tart!  Period. 

 

This is the next video that comes up on YouTube right after the new Mayer song that was posted:

https://youtu.be/pCOS1dujl0A

It looks like an Alicia Keys show in Times Square from two months ago. Alicia Keys with Mayer and Quest Love doing one of her biggest songs and apparently one of his (I looked it up as I didn't know if it was her song or his).

I'm not a big Mayer fan but this thread is funny as people are trying to comment on how big of a pop star he is or how Mayer doesn't make good pop songs like some other big stars. I don't know any of his pop songs but I do know he's a very big star so I'm guessing he has many fans and is still a big draw.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for reminding me why I don't like him.

Fits right in with the "Bombs Away" crowd though.

I give early Bobby 80's solo a bit of a pass due to the copious amounts of fluffy barely-stepped-on cocaine.

Mayer is a mere PG-13 romantic comedy without a trace of humor. An affront to decency.

I can not argue with either point JP.

Kindly refrain from making disparaging remarks about Bombs Away until the Holiday season is over. Thanks.

mayer is the new guitar god of the century people.... get with the freaking program..

 

his new single is the shizzle fro-hizzle..... deal.

An' it's bigger than a drive-in movie, ooooo-eeee.

Bobby's solos now are a lot worse. They were pretty bad back then too.
