John Mayer Replaced Alcohol With Weed—and Hasn't Had a Drink in a Year

http://www.menshealth.com/guy-wisdom/john-mayer-no-alcohol-for-a-year-smoking-weed

 

Go see a Dead & Co. show. Jah is with the kid.

Blues fans think he dresses weird and isn't normal like Jimi or Stevie. 

I like the John Mayer Trio stuff. It was like Cream.

Normal people like to combine alcohol and weed.

good for him!

Jah is with the kid with the racist penis. 

 

John Mayer Trio sounds NOTHING like Cream. 

Yeah that made me cringe

John Mayer Trio I have seen cream I have seen Jimi Hendrix experience I have seen

 

I do believe there's a slight gap from my perspective

 

if I was being honest I would say LOL oh LOL oh LOL

Eric Clapton says John Mayer is a "master" guitarist

Lol

 

dim light blue light

to each their own defensive or not

Eric Clapton also said, "No snow, no show".

So there's that.

There's nothing really wrong with John Mayer, but let's not get carried away.

One of my favorite guitarists

hmmm... alcohol & weed will now be playing guitar for deadCo?

 

i'm in.

dude's pretty heady

I posted the article for you to read how Eric Clapton felt about John Mayer, not my feelings on the sublect. Just for your information; if you are able to read back what I wrote merry prankster.

I am a huge Eric Clapton fan maybe the difference with me, is that I actually worked for Eric & Tom Dowd on the recording & mix down of "August" in 1986. 

When Eric makes a compliment, it's well thought out & he means it.

You saw them in 68, me in 78, but I knew him one-one for 2.5 weeks, take after take after take, re-wind after replay etc..

No dimlight here long live the dead

>You saw them in 68, me in 78, but I knew him one-one for 2.5 weeks, take after take after take, re-wind after replay etc..

 

is this deadsum? 

 

No one cares about who saw what band what year

reality is hard 

Just so there is no confusion: Bluelight has a personal relationship with Eric Clapton and can vouch for his sincerity when giving compliments.

 

He & I care. He saw Cream in 1968.

Now go run along & stay way from me Gunner.

>He & I care

well that much is true 

 

Run along now.

Clapton and Cream are some of my all time favorites. Clapton is respected around the world for being a great player. Even some of you would agree. If he says Mayer can play, that is high praise.

Personally, I tend to agree. I think Mayer can really play.   I bet some of you critics can't even play cowbell. so yeah, puff away Mayer.

Johnny Be Good

> I bet some of you critics can't even play cowbell.

Good one

Mayer's a great player and of course he's qualified to play in a Dead coverband.  He's not the weak link in that band.

I may praise his abilities, and very jealous of his wallet; but I would never pay to see him at the places he plays.

If I was the one who started this thread, sorry about that.

has he had ego death yet or what?

IMG_3587.JPG Didn't mean to offend it was a bit snarky 

I have occasionally played cowbell 

it's totally awesome to work with him and he absolutely is one of the greats till in my opinion I think he watered it down a bit

 One thing about Jimi his face and play guitar way better than John Mayer's face could ever conceive 

 Old fart correction Clapton was 68 jimi 69

 

 JM  is very solid probably just not in my top 50 guitar players

 

Since you asked and my opinion is so fucking important

 

JIMI

It is important. I read every thing you write & admire the real insight.

Mayer is always rated lower than the classic rock gods but higher than MFRJ. 

does anyone think that, if asked, clapton would say anything that wasn't complimentary about another musician?

he seems like a very nice and diplomatic gentleman.

I've seen Mayer many times over many years, and the only time I've ever thought he was close to "great" and not just a technically sound professional player has been the times I've seen him with Dead & Co.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think being a technically sound professional player is a bad thing and there are many of them around these days, just about every country band has one, but over the years I always found Mayer to be just another very straight forward, play by numbers, stay within the lines player, so I've been surprised and slightly amazed at how well I think Mayer has done with D&C.

I'm impressed that he took it so seriously, clearly did his homework and put in the time to not only learn how to be a Fake Jerry but also how to jam and stretch out. Good for him.

But still, when I saw him this summer doing his own show I was once again underwhelmed, on his soft pop songs, his power trio band or even on the very bland version of They Love Each Other, which fell totally flat that night. Maybe because the 18,000+ super excited John Mayer fans there were all sitting bored two minutes into it, clearly just waiting for "that dead song" to be over.

As for what he does to catch a buzz, I would think that weed has got to be better than booze, especially on the road.

But whatever works, I always say.
