Watch-out Jeff Beck: Madonna knows a G-chord!

[tomEisenbraun]

This might be my favorite collections of videos ever:

Steve Vai "jamming" in Denver:

Previously unreleased "demo" of Pat Metheny's "As It Is":

(I love the bass player. And the rhythm guitarist.)

"Live" version of Pantera's "Walk":

The guitar solo is SICK!!![/i

Seriously though--watch the songs these are all ripped off from. The Vai song is absolutely mind-blowing, and I always thought he was a cheesy arrogant tool. The Metheny one is a beautiful jam, too. We don't need any extra info on Pantera.

John Mayer has got soul

Nope. That is not even slightly the case. At all.  :-? ::)

There is nothing wrong with John Mayer.

Well, there definitely SOMETHING wrong with John Mayer.  But I agree, he doesn't get enough credit for his guitar playing because of other distractions that surround his music.

A few years ago, Mayer was at a career crossroads. He just formed a bluesy-rock power trio and put together a successful club and stadium tour, undoubtedly terrifying his teenage girl and bad-taste fratboy audience with some truly inspired playing and decent old-school non-pop songs. He easily could have continued to go "legit", leaving behind his heartthrob Top 40 past. But it looks like he decided to take the easier road of the two. Pitty really. The large meloned, arrogant tabloid womanizer is a good guitarist but that's just not good enough.

You are so right.  I remember when he came out and said he's all about the blues and he would be doing the trio thing with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino no less....and said he'd be doing that from now on.  Then he just went right back for the girls and the money.  I see him on shows jamming with Buddy Guy and i'm like wow he can play and then you see him in interviews talking about Maroon 5.  Weird.

uuummmmm, no offense, but what young man is going to turn down girls and money? Give him a break.

Hey Tracy, dumb pretty women are not woth having a relationship with unless you yourself are dumb. Jessica Simpson may be one of the dumbest women in America. Of course, if you like 'em dumb, then that's a perfect reflection on you (and I'm not directing my comments at you; it's a general statement).

I disagree. Sorry. My brother's wife is not "smart" but is an amazing, caring person and my brother, well, is brilliant.

sounds like you guys are just mad at John Mayer (which is sort of funny)

I don't know if it's that simple or clear-cut. Different people date for different reasons. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would be happy to kick about with Jessica Simpson for a couple of weeks....she may be dumb but she's stunningly attractive & seems kind of sweet.

i like dumb women...they make me feel good about myself and i get to teach them shit

[ycartrob]

and all those great delta blues players hung out with only Ivy League women  ;)

come on man, don't bring intellect into rock n' roll. You don't have to be a genius to play rock and roll and some of the dumbest, ugliest som' bitches got the most beautiful, smart women to shack up with them. I mean, look at Sharon Osborne. She's a genius compared to Ozzie and she's a genius for keeping him alive and newsworthy.

I dunno, it's just not that black and white. If I am in my 20's with a lot of money in the bank, I'm not so sure who'd I'd rather spend my time with:

I'm not disagreeing with that but it doesn't help him get any more credibility music wise.

I want either less corruption or more opportunity to participate in it.

Why does being famous have anything to do with it?!!
