John Mayer Reveals His Go-To Anthem, Love Song, Yacht Rock Song & More | Mixtape | SiriusXM
• John Mayer Reveals His... - Розваги
When I was in high school, I was obsessed with John Mayer’s music. I listened to Vultures at least 500 times. I had a friend who was equally obsessed. We convinced our parents to let us go a few hours drive away to see him play on his battle studies tour. It was my first concert and we were so excited to see him that we got to the venue around 3 or 4pm, before they had even set up the ropes for the line. We entered when they opened the doors and trudged up probably 10 flights of stairs to our seats at the absolute top of the venue. When we got to the top, we were just excited to see that they had bathrooms and snacks upstairs and we wouldn’t have to go all the way down and back up to pee. While we were wandering around up there, two women came up to us and asked us about our favorite John Mayer songs and talked about his music a little bit. Then they asked to see our tickets and like complete idiots we handed them over. The woman said “oh these are terrible seats” to which I started to say something in offense. But then she started RIPPING up the tickets. My friend and I literally screamed and the woman nonchalantly said “oh no you don’t want these seats because I have front row tickets for you…” she handed us front row tickets and walked away while we processed what had just happened and starting screaming with excitement. We rushed downstairs and found our seats in the front row. We made friends with one of the security guards by sharing our gum and he got us on stage to dance with the opening act, Michael Franti and Spearhead. Then John Mayer played my favorite song from the new album right in front of us and I could have just died of happiness. No other concert experience is ever going to top that for me. I think the woman must have been someone from Mayer’s team, trying to spread some joy to the most devoted fans or at least pack the front with the most enthusiastic concertgoers. Whatever the reason, I’m still grateful and love his music now as much as I did then, albeit with less screaming on my part.
Woah that's crazy!
Fake story
@@shawnhorton2000 We got a detective here.
That's awesome. I first discovered John mayers inside wants out album at Barnes N nobles back in 2000 when you could take a sample disc and put it inside of a CD player. I remember sitting there for the whole album and was blown away. Been a fan ever since. Still have yet to be able to see him in concert... 😢
Oh yeah, well I played bongos for Jimi Hendrix onstage at Woodstock during Voodoo Child.
I want an 87 hour long version of this interview.
Made me laugh so much since I sympathize haha
You need psychiatric treatment
@@michaelalexics2808 with him as counselor yes
@@GianlucaTidus I meant for how to get a life
@@GianlucaTidus I can understand how you would be fascinated with a creative musician but how you could listen to Cohen for more than 30 seconds is baffling and the reason that I could not give this a viewing. He is exhausting.
If you are responsible for Wild Blue, you are absolutely allowed to get off on it. A complete masterpiece of a song.
I might be mistaken but I thought it was confirmed about Cazzie David
I love that John is so selfaware of his younger version back when he was more of a tool, so now he can casually do "young John" things as a joke
I love him but he's still kind of a tool lol ...
@@BrandonPetrucci I don't love him, still a bit tool, but I respect his musicianship immensely.
Jonnys not old ,he’s “ Youth full mature “ that’s all .
genuine curiosity because I've seen other comments like this, what did he or does he do that makes him a "tool"? I feel like I'm missing it.
@@sunburnlady I want to know as well
Finally John doesn't look 25 anymore, he looks like he's approaching 30 now...
Try 44!
Agree with him on Wild Blue…. That song is amazing and he does deserve to be proud of it…
@@r.v.9005 Well, someone is fairly ignorant to music i see. Spreading misinformation such as this, undermining John's talent all the same. Well done.
Listen. A riff doesn't need to be complex to sound great to the ears. You're probably shocked to hear that. But music is not about complexity. It's about feeling, and something that sounds good to the ears and that moves your soul. Simple or complex matters not. Some of the greatest music pieces ever written on guitar doesn't have complex riffs. And if you're not into John's "simple" guitar riffs, then why are you even here to begin with?
I’m pausing at around at 5:28…to reflect a bit. I don’t think it’s possible to like John Mayer and be just a casual listener! I actually view the world differently every time I listen to him. For me, some of the pieces start to connect, and the NOW becomes more present. I remember to feel, joy and pain and use my senses to capture the moment. It’s taken me years to discover and appreciate John’s music and style, but it’s refreshing, especially trying to get to know him just as he is.
I'm so happy there's somebody that has this similar of an experience with John. I love listening to him think, talk, sing because anytime I do I feel like I learn something new. About myself, about my friends, about the universe. It's like philosophy class + therapy all in one. And I don't know if you have the same, but it doesn't have to be for me that I 100% agree with him on anything or change my view point to fit his, but his unique perspective on some of life's most random areas offers an "in" into a conversation with myself and then I get to reflect critically on my feelings towards that.
These comments make me feel seen and content. I often can't find the words to express such overwhelming sentiments, especially when it comes to music (so powerful and intimate) but you two hit the nail on the head. My people. ❤
I feel so seen here 😂
♥ Our people ♥
I’m a completely casual listener and like him - although I used to really hate him lol.
I’m glad John also recognizes the masterpiece that is What a Fool Believes.
One of the best songs ever written. Just a a perfect construction.
The way John explains wild blue,is the way how listening every queen song feels like.
I played Wild Blue quietly on my Google Assistant while working in the kitchen the other morning. My very quiet 12-year-old said from the other room 'What song is that, I like that one!', so we played it again....it's soo good! 😄
The way he talks about wild blue is exactly how I feel about it
I find John Mayer, the personality, fascinating. I didn’t really listen to his music until well into his career. I’d say “New Light” forward, he musically got my attention. “Guess I Just Feel Like” is amazing… John Mayer the storyteller and John Mayer the personality are perfectly balanced. Until the outro solo, I think there are many singers that could pull the song off because it’s so good of a story. The outro is Mayer….nobody else could touch it.
It's my favorite song of his... which is really saying something because I'm such a fan. However, the mix of personal and current lyrics with the best guitar solo he's ever done is just a treat that never gets old. I will go back and listen to the last 90 seconds of that song when it ends and I have never done that before. You know there's a youtube video of it being recorded right?
@@BradColemanisHere I’ve watched that 7 minutes or so many, many times. I’ve almost pulled the trigger on buying a USA Casino because of it. Such an iconic solo…
You’ve got a lot of catching up to do then 😉 He goes through phases but there’s always plenty of material to enjoy along the ride
@@RJReda I was huge into Brad Paisley when they did that CMT Crossroads thing back in the day. That was really all the attention I gave John, the dude who was taking stage time away from my guy Paisley. So yeah, going back with an open mind will be interesting.
Lol “new light forward got your attention” maybe try and listen to both and raised or better yet all his records and then give an opinion. All you said is wow I never listened to an artists and then I did and I liked it
Loved that he chose 'What a fool believes' (Doobie Brothers), 'How long has this been going on' ('Ace' - Paul Carrack/vocals), Bitter Sweet Symphony ('The Verve' - Richard Ashcroft/vocals). Thanks to Andy and John for doing this (SiriusXM for posting it). It feels like a lovely fireside chat with these two friends...!
Those are clutch song choices!! Especially "Doobie Brothers" and "Ace".
I think about "Your Wildest Dreams" every time I hear "Wild Blue." I'm so glad he made that comparison. Sort of like how I think of "She's Gone" every time I hear "Rosie." I could listen to John talk about his music ALL DAY. I always come away with a much deeper understanding of his songs. He's a treasure.
he got me at diff'rent strokes.. love that show
JM is just my favorite and has been for 20 years. We have grown up together. He is so smart, witty, funny. He barely even has to pause to think of the answers to these questions because he is so quick witted. He also has a very soothing speaking voice. Love ❤ you JM.
I totally agree. JMs intelligence is multifaceted, it comes through in his music as well.
I grew up together with JM, too. I remember going through my own quarter life crisis when his song with that phrase came out. He’s spoken to me ever since!
I love the fact that he's not worrying about what people think he's just being his unfiltered self. He seems more self-aware than at any other time in his career.
I would bet he could play the role of the Joker really good. His laughter and personality. Its facinating. He is facinating to listen to.
so funny cause I thought he would be a great batman cause of his chin lol
@@annih7385 That is funny lol. But think about it. Hear his laughter and so on. He would do a great Joker 😁
??
he's right - when I was younger I'm ashamed to admit that I used to be embarrassed to say I liked his music! So dumb of me because he's such an awesome talent. Now my son loves his music too and we both think he's incredible. Whenever I'm randomly looking for something to put on it always ends up being a John Mayer hour or two....
genuine curiosity because I've seen other comments like this, what did he or does he do that makes him embarrassing to like? I feel like I'm missing it.
@@sunburnlady I was just dumb - I thought he wasn't cool because he was a bit popular and good looking! He has also been something of a jerk on many occasions (often to women he dated) if the gossip is to be believed but I would imagine that most rich and famous people are probably jerks so it wasn't that that bothered me. Nowadays I just listen to his music and think he's ridiculously talented so that's what I like about him
Tbh bittersweet symphony is one of the best songs ever written hands down
✍️ The Rolling Stones did such a great job writing it.
@@hippopotamusbosch Well, Richard Ashcroft wrote the lyrics, the band played their instruments on it and threw a looped sample over it. By the way the melody is originally from the song "the last time" by the andrew oldham orchestra not by the stones
@@Gabriel-zk9gb Even better.
Man, wild blue is my go to song whenever im down or anxious, it reliefs me i dont know why
The best part of my morning today was watching this.
It’s crazy to listen him express his ideas & feel like I know John Mayer, hope to actually meet him one day ✨
John Mayer has been my favorite artist since I was in 7th grade can’t wait to see him live 4 rows back in may 🥰🥰🥰
Been a fan for so long, I can't wait to finally see him in concert. Sob Rock, baby.
They are such a great duo...
I LOVE his music, I flew over from Mexico City to his Sob Rock concert at Madison Square Garden, he is a great artist, so many great songs and I just hated that it was such a short concert :(
como que estuvo corto? cuanto duró?
I went to the same concert from the sob rock tour but it was here in Dallas, Texas. The concert lasted exactly 2 hours.
John Mayer is so talented. Love this man.
I love the way he talks about music
Wild blue is by far my FAVOURITE song ever! When I first heard it, it was instant love. And exactly for the same reasons John Mayer described. I've always described it to my husband as being "whimsical", which I think is the word John was looking for to describe the level of flair and drama in the song. I've probably listened to the song every day for over 6 months now and still not sick of it. My head was exploding when I listened to him play it live in Toronto!!!
I absolutely loved this conversation... insightful..
"I wanna forget myself as much as I possibly can"
Damn, that hits home.
ALWAYS a fan!!! Just recently got tickets to see him in concert in N.Y. can't wait!!!!!
God I love John Mayer
This may be the most important “artist” interview in a long time. Gives some excellent insight to how a lot of artists feel about writing / releasing music.
Also, as a listener and fan of John’s music, this interview answered some questions I had about his most recent record.
"If you don't like it it's because it exists just a little bit beyond your own tastes for that moment..." .....Love that....
Blue eyes crying in the rain is great! I love John Mayer!
The chatting of this two is so simple and deep at the same time... I will never stop following you, John! America don't deserve a boyfriend like you 😝😄
Wrigley ‘19 Terrapin Station opener was absolutely incredible! Gets better every time!
You're on my front burner John! Love you ❤️
Great interview 🤩
As strange as it may sound, I know the exact feeling he has when he says an idea exists beyond his current tastes, because I've always listened to John's music and not thoroughly enjoyed it on the first listen. On Sob Rock, I came to the realization that his musical taste is such that you grow into it, live with it until it finds a way into your heart. Even if I don't love it straight away, I know I will in the coming months, and of course it was true once again. I feel the same exact way with Vampire Weekend. They share the same trailblazing brains.
WILD BLUE! 💙
Thanks for this🙏🥰
These guys have the same conversational energy but I can’t describe it?
its probably because they sleep with each other. Bet Johns on top too
True. This is a fascinating conversation. Did you know that They are longtime friends? They have a rapport.
Me honestly
Why are you asking us? I don't know if you can describe it or not.
@@kristinkulman3221 Andy and John are both gay.. and are in a relationship.. have been for years.. worst kept secret in the industry
I’m Obsessed with Wild blue I don’t blame him
Great! cheers from Argentina
I would love to see him live. So talented and interesting
damn we need more of this
I hope John Mayer does covers of "How Long" & " What a Fool Believes" soon.
Wild Blue is my favorite as well. It has that western vibe for me, it has that swag. I just want to drive around while listening to it and my mind is transported to a different world, away from the chaos, away from what is in the mainstream. I am free and I want to be different.
I completely understand his concept of not liking something immediately and that you'll grow to love it, at least from a listener point of view. When Battle Studies came out there were a lot of songs that I just didn't gel with, didn't really make a connection to. Then I went through some heartbreak and relistened to it all and was like holy crap this is amazing! I understood all the little nuances within each song and had a greater appreciation for them after that. There have been many JM albums where I just hadn't hit that spot in my life to fully appreciate the song and the moment yet. As a songwriter however, I have a hard time understanding wanting to write a piece of music that you don't like. I feel like even if other people around me were telling me it was a fantastic piece I'd still be unable to finish it because I wouldn't feel compelled. I need that immediate feedback of emotion, the "this makes me feel good" response. I guess that's why he's making the big bucks though and I'm not :). Perhaps it's something to try in the future though. I could just sit and listen to nuggets of advice from John for hours.
@@r.v.9005 I think you'll find more happiness if you choose to focus on positive things or rather things you just enjoy in general instead of actively seeking out things you dislike.
@@r.v.9005 Empty and forgettable? You need ear surgery like yesterday
Great chatting
Love John Mayer!
"America's ex-boyfriend" hurts my heart every time I hear him say it. The blacklisting of John on the airwaves is a CRYIN' SHAME 💔. He is a lovely human being...
Dude thank you wild blue is insane! One of the greatest songs ever
Andy does a great job here. They are an interesting pair. Love it.
❤️ love @ john Mayer
I love John.
JM is a wizard with words as well..... very poetic dude !
That concept from 4:40 is why he is such a trend setter / trailblazer
In 2001 as a young and dumb college student I missed the opportunity to see John play at my college of around 1k students. This was right before "Room for Squares" was released. I had no clue who this SRV/Hendrixsy hybrid player was. That would have definitely been a story to tell. Well, 20+ years later and I got to see him in Charlotte, NC. Awesome show. Wild Blue was definitely a highlight of the night!
I've been a huge Mayer fan as a guitar player since forever but could never say the same regarding his personality. Now it's changing and I'm starting to like the guy more and more. He is actually cooler and more down-to-earth now I think. I also love his lessons and guitar posts on youtube and social media.
He is a smooth cat for sure. I can put Wild Blue on repeat that song screams driving on a pretty day after all my bills are paid.
Such a grwat interview. So glad i clicked on it
Has someone made this songs into a playlist yet ? i want to hear all these.
I would love this list of songs.
My god I love him
I still vividly remember the November of 2009 when I by sheer luck had won VIP passes for Monsieur Mayer's Live At The Chapel concert in Sydney (Yep! It was in a church) and I was over the moon. There was a whole pink carpet situation and bubbly and the Australian Idol of that year were around too. I was just focusing on all the brilliant music I was about to be immersed in soon though with his Battle Studies being out and I ABSOLUTELY loved the whole album. Me and my darling gal pal trudged up towards the front as the emcee popped up and we were like a couple of rows in front with it being a standing concert. And THEN he appeared and the first song was Heartbreak Warfare and everything after that was just surreal. I'm so glad I have that memory. He's a genius and a beast with the guitar and one has to experience it in person to really understand it.
Me having an internal breakdown hearing how my Playlist is 99% accurate with JM😢❤... Ive adored this man since I was 13 ❤❤❤❤❤
Favourite yacht rock “ I want to know what love is” by foreigner
inst he just gorgeous
Wild Blue, is my personal go to song of late, since hearing it after it's release..... When I want to feel " at home" in myself and in my own company I head straight to this song.... ( not that I don't ever feel at home in myself at any time ) it's just very soothing, calming, otherworldly ... like me lol 😆
This was great
I just became a huge jhon mayer fan watching this
That was a Very enjoyable 6:38 seconds!!!!👍🏽👍🏽😎😎😎🔥🔥
Please perform an extended version of Wild Blue on the tour John!
He does lol
Love the Cohen Mayer dynamic
I love this guy ❤
Best artist today. No doubt
Why Georgia is still an awesome song. and he is in touch with many genres of music which is cool. I love to hear musicians rattle off their fav songs especially if those songs were written before those people were born.
I love how he loves Wild Blue at least as much as I do!
I love Wild Blue, it is a fantastic song, it has great lyrics, beautiful chords, cool lead, it is a perfect song. I really liked it when John jokingly changed the lyrics and sang about the dogs in the swimming pool. That was really funny and cool. I am a animal and I love doggies and playing guitar. Thanks 👍🎸🙏😎✌️
Genius philosopher and max skills artist
Now I really want to hear him do a cover of Wildest Dreams
John's a vibe
Now i even loving him as a man. A genius lyrically, song writers, a poet, instrumentalist and a cool humble man. Am a.fan of #Heartbreakwarfare# forever. Someday, i will get to see John Mayer in person. He is secondly to MADONNA MADAMEX! Another geniuses!
After watching this interview, I found Terrapin Station by Dead and Co.. John is right that song is gorgeous.
I Love Wild Blue my Favorite song Love driving to this song!
Good stuff, keep it up
I liked some of his old songs a lot like waiting on the world to change. When he was answering the question about America's ex boy friend, he give the clear vibe of his current orientation, which I am completely fine with that but I was not aware of that at all.
Anything Ambrosia! Oh Jesus How Long is absolutely awesome!! And Anything Michael McDonald is my go to it’s on my playlist literally number 1 playlist!
Damn good list
glad we all agree on wild blue being the best song on this record but also so timeless and lush
HI THERE JOHN MEYER VERY INTERESTING ANSWERS YOU SAID !! TRUCKING ALWAYS WILD BLUE IS BEAUTIFUL!!😊😊😎😎
Terrapin Station ✨ one of the greatest songs in the history of music I got to say ,not an understatement at all
YES THE VERVE BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY
Glad he likes the Verve. You know he has all their records.
@@kp4588 that's so cool !
Wild Blue and the entire album is genius for a 45 y/o guy like me.
Fascinating individual.
Blue eyes crying in the rain! Hell yeah
I had a very realistic dream once that I was John Mayer's girlfriend. It lasted a few days (in th dream, and I remember thinking IM REALLY HIS GIRLFRIEND, this is real). It was the best dream I ever had. 2nd only to flying dreams. Love JM....going to see him for the fifth time in April!! ❤️❤️❤️
ever see him play with dead and company?
@@johntuccillo8182 I haven't yet. Would like to! But I'm super excited for the Sob Rock tour. I sprang for decent tickets this time in Chicago. I usually always do lawn tickets in Noblesville (near Indy). But it's been a few years so I thought I'd upgrade this time. 🥰😍
that sounds like quite the time-never seen his solo stuff live. If you get the chance though before all these old dudes croak, a dead show is mind blowing.
@@johntuccillo8182 glad you got the see it. It's definitely on my list. I'll see Mayer any time I can, and I've heard great things about Dead and Co shows. He is such a talented musician - singer, songwriter,sick guitarist. The whole package. Even the greats recognize his guitar skills. Really cool to have followed his career while we both grew up (we are around the same age).
Ik! he’s a phenomenal person to look up to. Especially since he carrie’s with him a part of the blues legacy from the greats-hendrix, BB, srv. as well, he has lots of jazzy influence and that soft spot for pop music. i’ll have to see him con solo when he comes around. keep your ears open for the D&C summer tour!
wildest dreams is a great song ✨
