- This is super old...back when he was a part of Another Roadside Attraction, or the Lo-Fi Masters. I really don't like this song at all. I'm SOOO glad he didn't follow this style of music! If this is what John sounded like today, I'm afraid I wouldn't listen to him.
The solo is prettttty ridiculous though.
The fact he has gotten to the point he is now is a testament to how much he has improved through hard work - it's hope for anyone who thinks they aren't ever gonna be good enough. Too many people quit too soon because they don't sound as good as their idol (these "pros" have been working at it for years & have tons of professional production support).
Anyone else REALLY like this song? It has an almost mysterious long lost tone to it and it being old and low quality just adds to the sound, his voice sounds a bit different, the songwriting is iffy and overall the song is kinda all over the place but that adds to the appeal; and of course that solo, great!
To be honest, I don't like it. I love it. This version got so much capability, I mean, it wolud be awesome to cover it, cause you can add a lot of "yourself". I like the garage sound of this song, crazy guitar solo, which confirms that Jonh's genius was just being explored, it's so full of youth, so full of possibilities.
I love this song. My bro got it off napster in 1999 when I first started listening to Mayer. Been one of my faves since then.
It's a jam everybody, don't freak out.
4.49 sounds like a kitty XD
gaawd my love for his music and him will NEVER die :)
Johnny reallly had something to prove when he was younger haha. I Imagine this is what he was like his first semester at berklee, and went home for christmas break and came back with all whole new perspective. The moment he stopped feeling like he had to be the best was when he became listenable. But lets be honest, he was always listenable
jmforlife83 Agreed. Fortunately he moved quickly along that learning curve! Guitar is interesting though.
talk about some serious evolution to what he is now... and thank god for that
Wow it's incredible that you made it here too. Your channel is awesome lol. John Mayer is one of the greatest songwriters and guitarists to ever live wouldn't you agree? Crazy that when you wrote this comment you probably never thought you'd be a CZcams star huh?
Haha loved how he tried to sneak a lick from voodoo child in their
I like it, never heard of this JM tune before. It sounds a little like "I'm a big star now" by Counting Crows. Love the Guitar Solo. Thanks for sharing. (:
Lmao this gives me so much hope for my own songwriting getting better- it's soo bad, but he went on to write stuff like Gravity and Slow Dancing its incredible
That amazing guitar skill shreds through my mind... John why do you not unleash that beast more often :(
I likes. JM couldn't do anything I wouldn't like.
My God, that guitar! Imagine.....gahhhh!
Chaferbud...MANY thanks for uploading all this great stuff XD
He still is bluesy, and can still shred.
I always liked this. It's a solid foundation for a really great R&B something or other. I also always loved the lo-fi solo. The guitar tone is great, and the recording quality is awful, and it all somehow works, in my opinion.
I think what John is going for with each album is for it to be different. Comparing his albums against each other is like saying which piece of art and artist makes is better. It's not really about whats better to him, but what he's trying to express. Check out some of his live interviews. He explains this stuff :)
This is when John first started singing and songwriting. His original mission was to become the best guitar player; nothing else.
My favorite song
I really digged that solo
This sounds like that experience you had when you were 16 and just took your first joint. THAT SOLO DOE!!
Wow his solo's improved SO MUCH :) Even John mayer went through the face of 'showing what he can' instead of making a good solo :). The vocals were there though! And so was the REVERB :D
makes it relatable. and he expresses it well enough through music to lift the power of the lyrics
wow i love this song... thanks so much for posting
i love the srv influenced solo
I still love it. I always wonder what Mayer sounded like before Room for Squares. It feels like an older version of myself.
thankx 4such an antique stuff @chaferbud! wooohoooo..go john! :D....
cant stop playin that solo over... and over.... and over ...
this would be a terrible song to listen to when on acid, it would just cause a panic attack
Well, he DID say he started wanting to be a guitarist and singing came second for him. He's come a long way, in both. I love seeing his early origins and seeing how far he's come. Now the man's a standard.
haha excellent! I had no idea this existed until tonight!
It´s not a bad song, but yes, his music is better now.
And the solo was creepy..
this sounds cool... wooo go john mayer! :)
@25Ragz Wouldn't say of all time. Certainly the best of this generation and on his way to becoming a legend and an inductee of the Hall of Fame
yeah, same. i was kinda dissapointed bcuz i was comparing it to Heavier Things, my favorite cd of his, but then i figured Eh, it's still John Mayer and now i love it.
I was sent here from the r/Jerma985 reddit.
How
I was refering to Room for Squares when I said he made one pop album. I don't consider any of his other stuff pop...unless you count his very first release...but that disc had a lot of material that ended up on Squares.
Why's everybody hate this song? I like it.
Almost certain that solo blew up the producers mind
this sucks...I'm glad I saw this.
Proves that anyone can get better. Even me.
this must have been around 1997
@riffism
2, Room For Squares is pop too - well it's just hard to categorize him ..
Sounds like music from the adult film industry
I liked it okay. He was experimenting, trying to find out who he was musically, I think. He was just a kid with a dream, couldn't have been more than 17 at the time.
LOVE IT!
haha i've never done it so i wouldnt know but i'll take your word for it!
second cousin, he sends me demos and stuff.
lol i'm kidding. its really funny to see the craze i've created. there are like another eight mayer fan pages now lol
I actually like this... shows he actually went expiramental for a while. So cool.
this is an awesom song
I kinda wish he would kinda re-vamp this, with his current set of skills.
This song has a Peal Jam vibe to me for some reason.
reminds me of eon and the solo is beast!
@BrettDanielHayes yes
The beginning reminds me of Riviera Paradise by SRV.
even then he was a fuckin' guitar god...
I feel like I've been rick roll'd.
is this like the first band he was in?
not the best... but i can still appreciate this early Mayer!!!
and still... that solo =0
...jaw dropping
that solo was FIERCE! I don't think JM was influenced by SRV at all... No, no, don't see it at all. I can see JM playing jazz in the future. That's just a guess. Thanks for the upload!
@ 4TheMus1c & QueenBanana295...I agree, I was a bit underwhelmed by the new CD at first too. It's still my least favorite of his work, but it's growing on me. I like Assassin, Heartbreak Warfare, and Perfectly Lonely...but everything else leaves me a bit flat. The whole album is a little too "mid-tempo" for me...and I miss his guitar work. There's not as much "fire" in this album from what I can tell. It's still good, just not up to his previous attempts.
ehhh i dont know man, the new album sounds pretty poppy to me.
nothing like continuum or trio but it grew on me and now i love it
It may not be as catchy but theres more soul in this than his new stuff
i laugh hard at 4;44!
it sounds really weird :DD i think John did all that noise thing, haha :DD
i can't stop laughing at that time :'D
Hay I second that.
lol so true..
Perceiver...chill dude. He made ONE pop album....give the dude a break.
Interesting. I can hear some of his future style in this....but it's so experimental sounding. Sounds like he came up with the idea in a rehearsal and is just looping it...trying to work out the kinks and get the idea on tape. I'm glad he learned some restraint on the guitar...because his solo section was WAAAY over the top for this arrangement, in my opinion. Very cool licks, however.
so trippy
I think this is pretty cool
jammin
i didnt think it was back, just different....everyone starts somewhere, and adapts there music guys
@25Ragz Who knows man. I find it hard to equate a single guitarist as the best of all time. Every single one of them is known for something.
jm's probly really pissed that this was released haha.
Like the solo.
SRV LICK: *EXISTS
command + c
every solo
command + v
lol. I was being sarcastic ;). Peace out man, and keep the JM love alive! Oh,a nd maybe you were being sarcastic. In which case, wd. hahaha.
Hah look at the title!!! I knew John Mayer liked Elder Scrolls!!! haha!!!
solo totally kick ass
how old was he when he made this? that solo was ridiculous
I can feel some Floyd in this too :P
@BrettDanielHayes what about the your? you dont search anithing?
i think hes going for the radio head vibe here
thumbs up for JM's birthday !
sorry man but everything he makes is fucking gold!
A little like Assassin from Battle Studies.
lol John's showing off his pentatonic scale runs here.
were can i download this?
i acually think this is a excellent song especially the guitar solo part
Pink Floyd...
I don't think this is bad Oo
I really like the chord changes along with the bass, until the solo. The vocals are a big turn off. If he re-did this, it would be pretty cool.
Heyy i found a JM song worse than Inside Friend!!! :DDD
hahaaha i love how halfass this recrding is i love the song but it reminds me of how shitty i am at recording songs
I think this might be Villanova days.. Thats what the lyrics sound like..
dude u don't think u would listen to him?? its just like "I Don't Trust Myself" its not that weird
#12.6
red hover
light over
The vocals sound like Eddie Vedder.
the whole melody is sweet, but the lyrics need a little working on.
yeah, so aggressive xD
... and then John Mayer decided to start making real music.
this is another roadside attraction. lofi was more pop than this.
haha pretty damn terrible. Its so great to know that even the god-like john mayer started somewhere
LOL
I hear a splash of Michael Jackson in there, too. I guess this is in the vein of that groove that existed in 82.
