Why does 6-3 Chad Mayer, guitar-GOAT, vag-destroyer, infant-hairline, get so much hate here?
>>
>>131459407
Mostly because his music sucks. It's all awful but I guess he made enough to live off of it and fund his dream to play what he wants so nothing wrong with that. Talented guy and he seems like a bro. Listening to his albums is a hard no though.
>>
fucked some of their waifus
>>
Because his music is fucking horrible. Even more so after he was done writing for radio and decided he was a “guitar guy” in the worst possible way. I don’t wanna hear you vibe out over some CAGED bullshit. Listen to Steve Lukather
>>
>>131459407
He can't sing and has the vocal power of a career smoker 20 years his senior. It frankly never even ocurred to me his primary audience was women when I concluded ue was a fucking hack.
Same with Noah Khan and Hozier.
>>
Is he popular anywhere other than America?
>>
>>131459407
You sound gay OP
>>
I don't hate the guy at all, but yeah he hasn't played or sung a note I would willingly listen to.
>>
>>131460844
Does that matter?
>>
>>131459407
For me personally? I've always hated the way he contorts his voice when singing.
>>
why georgia is good

Its the 1-2 punch of
1) being a talented handsome chad and making some of them seethe
and 2) mainly using his skill to make bland white girl music
Its like >>131459468 said and hes the modern Sammy Hagar. Seems like a real bro and someone you can hang out with and have drinks but the music is a hard pass.
>>
>>131459407
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any John Mayer threads on /mu/ before this one, honestly. I don’t think this place is his demographic

But, he’s a good guitarist with forgettable music while also being relatively popular. I can see how that could annoy people.
>>
>>131459407
he groomed young Taylor Swift when he was in his 30's.
>>
>>131462658
The real cherry on top is the music he makes when he’s not selling out. It’s just cheesy generic blues slop.essentially the white male boomer version of his other music.
>>
Literally the Micheal Buble of guitar
>>
>>131463375
How is Your Body is a Wonderland forgettable?
>>
Suburban white-people music. He's rich, bitches. Cry harder.

It should've been me, dammit. :(

I could've saved my wife from a lifetime thereafter of vagitarianism.
>>
>>131463825
This

Kenny G also comes to mind

Dude is pure cheese
>>
>>131459407
he popped Taylor Swift's cherry
>>
>>131462658
He's more like the modern Rick Springfield than Sammy Hagar.
>>
>>131463825
Never heard of him.
>>
>>131464311
Sammy made music for the guys, this dude is closer to RS or other 80s AOR acts that had a mostly female audience.
>>
>>131459407
i don't know much about him except a few songs, can anyone explain this:

>Following two revealing and highly controversial magazine interviews in February 2010 with Rolling Stone and Playboy magazines,[86] Mayer withdrew from public life and ceased giving interviews.

"highly controversial"
really?
pls explain i had no idea he might be interesting
>>
>>131460844
>>131461123
it's interesting, at least.

as a non-American I'd occasionally see this name hyped.
finally checked out his music...
now he's got chops, but clearly his music is 'American' in some way that doesn't appeal to people outisde the US.
which is interesting from a cultural perspective.

Same thing with Brian McKnight.
Or Robbie Williams - massive in the UK, virtually unknown in North America (not sure about globally).

not as homogeneous a world as it sometimes seems
>>
>>131463825
Buble is the King of Christmas music tho.
they both seem like good bros and hanging out would be a good time

>>131464279
>Kenny G
facile comparison, not really accurate at all
>>
>>131463872
It's pretty corny. Inoffensive but massively big when it came out. I wouldn't call it forgettable but definitely not good. He seems like a cool dude and I can't hate him no matter what.
>>
>>131464311
>Rick Springfield
>>131464418
>RS
CHEck this out:

https://youtu.be/8CfEvncGH7w

bro is 77-YEARS-OLD
how does he look like that? fuck me
>>
>>131464556
Bublr is good at what he does even if it is the most bland thing around. He also seems like a bro and he had pretty good comedic timing on SNL when he was on there. I'd hang with him if I could. Same with Josh Groban. Talented guy but won me over with his charisma despite me not enjoying his tunes.
>>
>>131464449
> pls explain i had no idea he might be interesting
I think it’s because he said something that while he was no racist, his dick was basically a Klan member. White chicks only. Also that Jessica Simpson’s pussy was like crack to him.
>>
>>131464311
I dont mean musically, I mean Sammy comes off like a dude thats cool to hang out with, drink and have some laughs
>>
>>131464556
>facile comparison, not really accurate at all
FACILE, you say? Oh dear!

Kenny G makes tasteless, formulaic, romantic mood music, but also happens to be quite skilled at his instrument - and I'd say the same about Mayer.
>>
When was the last time he even played his own music? He’s been playing Grateful Dead songs for 10+ years at this point
>>
for me I just want the trio back...
>>
My least and most favorite thing about him is that he is/was self-aware of how gay his music was.
>>
>>131465305
That's a good thing. His music sucks but at least he's having fun
>>
>>131460844
He's not even popular here anymore. I legit forgot he existed until this thread.
>>
>>131464175
>>131464296

It's just not fair that greasy pusscake got to deflower my Taytay!

Why wasn't it me? :(
