John Mayer needs his own podcast.
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
"Man you're a really good interviewer" the moment bobby died and fanboyed inside but kept it together.
It happens at 5:55.
I love â€ïž this manđđđđ
When John says "This is Gravity from Continuum, check it out." he sounds like one of those smooth DJs
It sounds dumb, but I'm truly impressed by John's lack of filler ("um" "uh") use. I feel in an interview it's so easy to just be like "uh like um" but he's so so eloquent and intelligent.
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
Diehard JM fans will agree: this is one of the best interviews of his I've heard in a long time.
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!
I don't really get a cocky vibe from John Mayer. I just think he is proud of his work. There's nothing wrong with being proud of the work you put into your craft.
Israel Fresse well said
He used to have a cocky demeanor about him. Heâll likely tell you that, but not at all anymore. Heâs 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.
i like how they let him just talk
also that girl is like super mesmerized by everything he says haha
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 ( ͥ° ÍÊ ÍĄÂ°)
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!
I see a man who is sooooo sad but finds some sense of peace in his music. He is truly in love with what he does and I think that's why his music is so great. Thank you John Mayer.
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.
i think JM is one of the most misunderstood artists/ "celebs" there is. he truly is such a compassionate, smart and genuine man. the media had a field day with him when he was in a confusing and vulnerable place & i think a lot of people leeched onto the surface bullshit perception of him. JM is one of our generations greatest guitarists & his gift has created the soundtrack to my life. i am forever grateful for him. go Johnny go
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
I would love to see John on the joe Rogan experience
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
Listen to him speak is hypnotizing. I wanna know what his IQ is... He expresses his thoughts in such a beautiful way. No wonder he is such a phenomenal lyricist and artist.
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
am I the only one thatâs absolutely in love with Johnâs speaking voice? I could listen to him speak all day
John's voice is ASMR
Hahahaha totally!
Asmr?????
JoshMetal316 its like when ur voice is soothing but sometimes uncomfortable
@@bangermccrusher Aurally Simulating Mental Rape
Faxxx
Now I understand why John Mayer never plays the same guitar solo on a live show. He simply just mastered the guitar.
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.
Just hearing him talk makes me fall even more in love with him. He can sing and his vocabulary is amazing!
Ana Aguilar He cant sing. His vocals are a cheap imitation of SRV when heâd 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...
He's a good conversationalist. I find it cool how the story of his own dog got brought up in passing and then some minutes later, they both segue into the story of Hachiko and how that relates to some of his saddest lyrics. And it's all relatable. What a guy.
relatable songs sell, thats why
â@@Kurtis11266can you elaborate?
@@vadir3517 If you relate to a song you're more likely to like the song, simple.
No, saddest line ever is "I'll survive on the breath you are finished with"
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 Iâm 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 youâll 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.

I love that "Still Feel Like Your Man" was this important to him. It's one of my all time favorite songs and the whole thing just clicks. It's so refreshing to know someone puts this much effort into what he loves. This was great.
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 đđđđ
Wow, the man is just brilliant, generous, witty and outspoken despite an indisputable, unequalled talent. Talent and intelligence like this is a rare combination found in life. He should be writing a book one day that would certainly shook us all.
progtoeternity Only if heâd 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!
John Mayer is so underrated as a song writer. As much as heâs respected, itâs not enough.
I'm proud of how he's evolved as a musician and as a human being in general. He's incredibly smart, talented, and the greatest guitarist of our generation. He truly is passionate about his work. Thank you for being you, Johnny. â€ïž
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..youâre under a rock if you donât agree...look him up live,all his covers,âslow dancing...â etc...
When John Mayer and Keith Urban sang together, just beautiful. Keith admires John Mayer and his talent.
What an intelligent, articulate, self aware and knowing man and musician. I love there are people like him in the world
I'm slightly drunk and everything about this video just clicks with me
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
Love the gold AP he is rocking. He is a genius. FYI, I am 67 and saw Hendrix and SRV, etc. live and Mayer is the best guitarist of this generation, with Gary Clark Jr. a close second, IMO. He is at once cerebral, charming, and self-aware.

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 CZcamss 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've seen hundreds of interviews with John Mayer, and this is hands down one of the best. Like John said early on, these were good questions about areas of his life that he hadn't publicly explored yet.
"Listen. It's always a cool reason not to come to my show because someone has a show of their own."
There are many other examples, but I love how that sentence portrays John Mayer's passion for music. With all the stardom and accolades, like him or not, he's genuinely a fan and supporter of the art that is music.
I love this guy. His music, his demeanor, attitude... everything. From being really cool, see how uncomfortable he gets when they play his music infront of him. Unbelievably the self deprecating going on outside of his ego is astounding.
FAN-TAS-TIC INTERVIEW.. feels completely fresh, and the questions i've always wondered about were asked (clay cook relationship for example)..
I watched this interview maybe 6 times this past year. Sooo good
I feel bad now bc he played 'Waiting on the world to change' in Dallas lmao
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
You can almost hear her getting wet over Johns story about the dog and how he's the statue. Dude is smooth. Gotta love JM!
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.
This was the 5th time I listened this..... And I will come back next week.... It's a threat!!!
JM is simply one of the most interesting people I have ever known of.
I think a LOT of people take Johnâs level of self awareness as arrogance or something of that sort. Disappointing, as I can relate to Mayer a lot due to my level of self awareness. Iâve never heard someone speak about themselves to such levels like I can until I start hearing Mayerâs interviews. To be able to just explain why you do things or why you think things, or speak honestly about what youâve done or are doing. I wish more people would understand this part of people who have self awareness. I have grown to dislike Bobby and the show, but this interview was very well done. Cheers.
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 .
He has a very soothing spoken voice.
Love it when an artist actually is enjoying an interview and of course when an interviewer asks the right questions you want to hear
I love this man and his mind.
That's because you have not met me at 230 in The morning. Yet
amazing vibe.... bobby, you are actually a great interviewer
Roy Matz that says a lot also about Mayer because I haven't seen many people saying that to an interviewer.
This interview is one of the most close, human and passionate Iâve ever heard in my life. The honesty leaves me lost for words. So inspiring .
I dig his descriptions of the creative process. The man is gifted. His understanding of the concept of a "hit", a polished hit, and the road to getting there is fascinating to me. I'm sorry, he's narcissistic, but he's genius.
Can John Mayer tell me bedtime stories every night?
This is easily the best John Mayer interview out there, well done Bobby!
Love, "Still Feel Like Your Man," starts off a little Hall & Oates'ish, with a Bossa Nova kick! Absolutely one of my favorite Mayer tunes!
Yes
I love how eccentric yet real his personality is.. Deep conversations with him wud be a treat!
My favorite musician.
I set my alarm to hear this interview live. Two of my favorite people in one room. I â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž John Mayer!!!!!
panamanianprincess22 John Mayer and Keith Urban. Both soooooo talented.
john mayers explanation about people liking his songs and they way he composes was spot on. only a true musician totally understands what he means.
Is it just me or does John Mayer really look like johnny depp now a days
I donât see that. In earlier years there are moments John resembled Jack White from The White Stripes.
Seriously what a great interview. I'm sure it made up for not being able to attend the show. Great dialogue, you can just tell how intelligent you both are here.
I wouldn't ever want him to stop talking. Just the way his mind works! What an amazingly interesting guy!
He has the power to inspire me on so many levels. Thank you John
Itâs so funny how my dumb ass used to be like âMan, I hate John Mayer!â Lol now Iâm like âWhy isnât John Mayer literally everywhere?!â It was the blues album for me.
One of the best interviews with a musician Iâve ever seen. Hands down.
This interview made my commute to work this morning so relaxing. And now I'm a John Mayer fan.
every time I listen to him, I feel so blessed to have an artist like him. I mean it amazes me how people can be so eloquently intelligent and musically genius at the same time. Listening to how a song comes into existence always been a mind therapy for me . . . . ohh ya, I love the dog Hachi too,
I'm proud of John. He's come a long, long way. Can't wait to see what the next years would bring for him, and what he would bring for us. Only a few artists have allowed themselves to be this vulnerable.
This is such a fantastic interview. My respect for John is immense
John's passion about making music just oozes from this interview
Mayer is the sole reason Dead and Company has reached another entire generation. Bob Weir made a genius move to approach him about joining the band. Heâs been amazing.
God I really love everything about this guy. Itâs amazing how much better his music makes my life â€ïž
Wow! Great interview. I love his honesty and vulnerability here. Always, always a fan.
John Mayer is One.of.a.kind.. Freaking genius and gifted musician. Plus he is funny and good looking on the top of that. â„ïž
What a lively, down-to-earth, in-depth interview. Leaving me with a big cheesy grin on my face, that seems to have stuck there, even while I am writing this. Love it.
I've never been more fascinated or such a huge fan of someone in my 23 years of life. He's just gifted. This interview just proves it by digging into his brain a little. Love it & love him.
I've watched this interview like 20 times already. I'm so in love with it! The connection you guys have over music man I cannot wait for the bobbycast I swear đđđ
I love this man so much. The Search for Everything is such an amazing album. Love you, John â€ïž
I admire him so much. He seems like a great guy to know on a personal level.
Came upon this interview while searching JM songs to play on my guitar. By far one of the best interviews i've seen with John Mayer. Great questions and no bullshit answers. You have a new subscriber.
Oh my, this is the BEST interview I think I have ever seen. Thank you Bobby for having such great talent!
seriously best fucking interview i've ever seen and maybe 4 questions 6 min in... original questions to the tee. Has a dog that hates music lmao
I'd listen to him speak forever.
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Nice work.
Still feel like your man is one of my all time fav JM songs dude.
I love how he describes the geometric visuals he gets playing guitar. It makes so much sense. Piano players learn linearly. Guitar players learn geometrically. It's just the nature of the instrument. I hope that some day I get to the level where the shapes connect to emotion and I can play intuitively with feeling like the masters.
John is the most fascinating, complex, intriguing individual.. I could listen to him talk for hoursâ„ïž
I love this interview. Really interactive and I remember so much of the bits from this conversation
I love him so much it's unreal
This is the best interview Iâve ever seen of John Mayer! Amazing questions and of course I expect no less of brilliant, and JM humorous answers in any interview! Great content! Sorry I am just now seeing this 5 years later!
Interviews always go good when people just be real and these two guys kept it real
The cutest when she hands him the pen at the end.
Love JM and was really impressed with the first handful of questions going deep.
In-depth music listeners definitely appreciate you John. Especially the more subtle music he has helped create such as many tracks on Born and Raised, one of the least popular, yet, one of the most sophisticated and intricate albums heâs put out.
Absolutely agree with John: this was a great interview!
I could listen to John talk all day breaking down his songs. And i admire his thick skin in accepting that radio has a prejudice against him and his music. Sad that he's not on radio as much as his music deserves, the radio waves are the poorer for it. You rock John Mayer.
He seems like a tender, genuine and true full person on and off screen. Very charming charisma.
Man how John talks just amazes me like it's poetic if you know what I mean. Completely like his sense in music. The proper structure of words that get you on point. I am oracledđ€Ł.
This was an excellent interview. Great questions, great answers. Good on you, Bobby.
One of the most fluid chats with John. Love the bit about Lee. Forever a favorite.
He is Always so down to earth and honest!!!!!!
I wanted so badly to see him in Dallas this past week but I didn't have the money for the tickets because if I'm going to see JM, I'm gonna get the full experience. Been a huge Mayer fan my entire life, know every word to all his songs, can play almost every one of his songs, He's brought so much good music into my life and He is so misunderstood. Thank you John for being the greatest musician and I hope to meet you one day!
Love John Mayer and country it's great that people accept these days that people aren't one thing and are complex. Seeing him in concert is on my bucket list
I love love love this man! His musical genius blows my mind. Oh to have a fraction of his beautiful mind.
One of the best Interviews with a musician I have ever seen!
Such a damn good interview. I listened to it on iHeart and then came over here to watch it. Good shit.
The way he describes his sensation about music and how he feels it, is exactly the way you would expect a mathematician to talk about her/his sensation doing math after many, MANY years of practice and hard work
This is without doubt the best of John Mayer's interviews and I have watched a lot of them...
I love this guy. Iâm so glad he is now the front man for my fav band!
Greatest interview!
17:10 "Saddest lyric I've ever written", then literally comes up two years later (2019) with
"Pushing 40 in the friend-zone"
"You don't think twice about / me and maybe you're right to doubt me"
"The weight of my worries is too much to take on"
"I guess I just feel like 'What happened to that?'"
"I guess I just felt like giving up today"
All of the above... in TWO songs.
I still keep your shampoo in my shower , most beautiful lines I've ever listened too and john mentioned it too , so much talent guitar vocals songwriting everything perfect but it aches knowing less people are following up with him , I mean I personally feel blessed to have him in our era ...â€ïžâ€ïž
This was such a really great interview. Good job all of you.
