Friggen John Mayer is straight up mentor material these days.

[@geezloueeze]

Indeed. Love watching this man through the years. What a great guy to be on board with.

[@mragunathan1627]

I only became a fan the last year or so, hes pretty much 70% of what i listen to. Amazing guitarist and poet.

[@lostsol7613]

My fav 🥰

[@margiesplace259]

What a blessing a true gem of a man! We should all do that for each other become mentors and give back to others, he already gives us great music but leading life for others not just for self.

[@stopthistrain14]

The best part about this is that you see John having matured so much just because he lets Zane have his manic moments of interrupting or being the cooler and funnier guy. Old John would have found a way to circumvent this behavior of Zane with his sharp as ever wit and would have really dug into him. But he's so above all that now, i honestly love how he's grown. My favorite artist of all time, really.

[@Dumbpuppet101]

Love this comment, its so great when (celeb or not) we can see the change, effort and evolution in others, and continue to celebrate this progression rather than focusing on a snapshot of them in time and confining their whole identity to that one moment, action or situation - we're all growing and John is such a great public example of how reflection and challenge can help you move forward to being a better version of you every day

[@nikhilganesh6547]

It’s not healthy to think this specifically about a celebrity on the internet

[@tidemeo]

It's cause he started hanging with the Dead

[@ryangunwitch-black]

But Zane’s not the cooler or funnier guy. 😂. He’s cool and funny but….

[@janinepatience4802]

John is such a solid individual and yes, I agree. His maturity has enhanced his personality so much & makes him more relatable. The selflessness is such a win for humanity :)

[@mariaelviralapeira1775]

He is always so eloquent and self-aware, it's very refreshing

[@owl9715]

i swear to god that i saw everything about John, but everytime he speaks he just blows my mind off, i love him

[@mosesbuenrostro172]

Same man, I've probably seen every John Mayer interview available on youtube but somehow he still blows me away...

[@oldmanwilly10]

SAME. Love John Mayer.

[@elluish]

Owl 971 is îp

[@derekbravo7811]

Owl 971 that’s the great about John, and it’s not only when he talks, when you hear his lyrics, with his singing, and of course his guitar playing

[@RR448]

​@@mosesbuenrostro172I'm obsessed

[@pololee-james8347]

Zane always dives into the best places but I wish he allowed for people to go there with him in their own way and articulate themselves completely. He's done it with so many people I just would love to hear more of them than him speaking for or on top of them.

[@Birbdup]

That song he just jammed with was god-tier. It was so cool to see the gears turning as he played. I hope he works with that feel on the new album

[@DeifyDan]

Evan Keough that song gave me goosebumps

[@forristal9839]

The first tune he jammed to when he picked it up was 90% the melody to “I don’t trust myself with loving you” same chord progression ✌️

[@jasonmoore7223]

I know I loved watching his hands as the song was playing

[@jaredholton3145]

This is the guy that created the "Born and Raised" album. 'Nuff said. Furthermore, I know John will never actually read this, but thank you for your candor and honesty, not only in the interview, but in your music throughout the years.

[@postcardsfromj]

Thanks, John Mayer. With your music, all's right with the world today.

[@tristanmccoppin5761]

John Mayer is wonderful. It is tough when interviewers seem more interested in talking than listening.

[@tristanmccoppin5761]

jayandgem yes!!! “I’m too scared to let talk because what will become of me, I don’t wanna be irrelevant!!”

[@tristanmccoppin5761]

*too scared to let John talk

[@pendrageon1667]

I feel you buddy. There are times in this interview I feel like John is being more like the host and he was the one steering the conversation back on track lol. Well we all know John is an excellent host and I love how much John was a good listener

[@ahn1ad]

JM is on a different level of self awareness

[@missunique65]

smartest musician around - usually they're an emotional mess

[@lostsol7613]

You're just now figuring it out !?

[@desfefe]

I am extremely self aware, but the truth is, it is a complete lie, because the mere fact that I think I am self aware makes it that I am not really self aware. There really are certain things about my personality I cannot see, which I think he cannot see himself as well too.

[@ms.pisces5534]

@@desfefe I gree with you. Your mirror doesn't show your whole, true self. You cannot see all the angles.

[@officialpeteytv]

This interview low-key is more important than a lot of people might think. So many different areas and audiences can be inspired, helped, mentored, etc.

[@mattsbanduploads]

Nice to see that John has come down from his past ego issues, and is now incredibly self aware. Keep making music my man, I’m really enjoying your art lately.

[@songsfromspringcreekave821]

New Light and most of the last album is not my cup of tea, but it really doesn't matter. John has an audience that loves him playing the blues/rock, an audience that digs his stuff with Dead & Co., an audience that loves his pop music, and an audience that loves his singer-songwriter stuff. I have mad respect for his success in so many different genre's of music. For 15 year old girls to 60 year old men, John has music for all of us. He is one of the most talented and unique artists of this generation in my humble opinion.

[@pakomondragon]

absolutely

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

Can you imagine John doing an album with all those styles on it, and every song is different?

[@dibyayan388]

@@ryanspencerlauderdale687 Its not really an album then. Just a bunch of singles like every other mainstream artist. The exact opposite of that is what makes John Mayer albums so special.

[@idontlikeagoldrush]

I just read this quote that really resonated with this interview, “Our heroes do not usually, after a certain age, teach or guide us anymore. They choose instead to protect the last territory where they find themselves. Adventurous thought is replaced with almost invisible needs. Those who once mocked the traditions they fought against with laughter now provide only the laughter, not the mockery” -Michael Ondaatje

[@elftower907]

dont follow

[@paradise_valley]

@@elftower907 I think it's mostly the first part. It's about how John's changed a little. John's stopped pandering to every single aspiration he has, and worked on refining what he's already doing. He keeps bringing up wanting to do coachella (ugh) but accepts the fact that it's one of those things he's got to do in another life because he's missed out on having the opportunity to do it that time in his life, if that makes sense. The quote also is like a reminder of how John's said some unsavoury things in the past, and he's been spending the last 10 or so years trying to make up for that. Until now he's accepted the haters not really mattering, having moved on with their life and how he's not pressured to be seen as a hero or a role model. He tries his best to be his best self possible as often as he can, so he can hope anyone interested in him will find him through something notable he did and understand he's made some mistakes in his past, without going out of his way to reply to every nay-sayer on social media like he used to on Twitter. If you watch from the 55:00 minute mark on this interview it'll make more sense.

[@kamellawestmoreland3822]

I could listen to John speak every day of my life.

[@MistaJG]

He has a way of describing the simplest things in such a profound and deep way lol

[@aw4925]

Makes me so happy to be reminded that there are people like John. The 'not afraid' deep thinker who is able to verbalise and articulate all that goes on in his head with the ever evolving message of what it is to be a well rounded, self aware yet always learning human being

[@briannakwasnik4245]

Sometimes when he speaks I feel like I'm in inception. John Mayer interviews are a psychological brain freeze

[@richardcoca5933]

He's so chill. The flow of this interview was very insightful.

[@aashleyk78]

A lot of you guys are complaining about them talking over each other but I feel like that's how creative people talk to each other, especially when they are having a good conversation. Also, "sunlight beating on the corner of the wall and im a mr. know it all" will be stuck in my head for a very long time now. I really wish that was a song

[@wdrumz]

ashley778909 haha what on Earth? I've been a drummer for 10 years in plenty of bands. The ones that always over talk are narcissistic, super insecure, or just plain rude. I hate people over talking me. My band now communicate like adults I go, you go, I go, you go.

[@aukah]

They should watch the entire video before judging. It gets better 🙃

[@Jakecaseyy]

Mayer lives in his own world and I love him for it

[@mciak1]

I love John Mayer for so many reasons, but for today, my number one reason is his commitment to discovering and rediscovering what his truth is through music. Honestly - this guy is still so underrated for the musical genius he is. Second reason? His patience with this incredibly obnoxious interviewer. Ack!

[@littlekimchi]

Yes a new album coming!

[@brettandrisani4338]

Does he say this in the interview? I didnt hear him say this at all

[@littlekimchi]

Brett Andrisani yup he did just before the interview ended :)

[@brettandrisani4338]

littlekimchi ah! You are correct!

[@jasonmoore7223]

More new music this year yasssss! 👍🏻😭

[@elijahparrella5177]

Interviewer asks good questions but he won’t let Mayer finish talking.

[@gochad]

It’s been such a buzz watching John move through stages in his life. I have closely followed John right from room for squares. His albums have been the soundtrack of my life. I admire his ability to be so aware of his situations and stage of life. He has bared all so we could enjoy his creative genius. I absolutely cant wait for the next record.

[@WigganNuG]

God damn, John Mayer is such a graceful and nuanced vocalist. Crazy range as well.

[@bobbob24able]

23 minutes in and I’m already thinking this might be the best John Mayer interview ever.

[@PeterZeeke]

its not, Hot Ones, try that

[@maximalist5038]

If Zane calmed down it would. If you are ok with listening to Zane interrupt John 100 times, you will see the genius of John Mayer. The guy has become so self aware and so informed in the world that he can talk about life and the meaning behind it. He’s super well spoken

[@johnny-yi2oi]

One of the best is John on the Bobby Bones show. You’re welcome.

[@Kmaitland89]

Don't worry Zane ruins it.

[@georgedavidson2024]

The best is on Dean Delrays podcast imo, almost 3 hours long!

[@GoodxJ]

Who wouldn't want to spark a joint with John and talk about life! What a dude! Much love & respect.

[@jenniferschwartz3554]

Sparking a joint and talking about life with JM is at the top of my bucket list! One can only hope!

[@giulia8407]

John Mayer is just something else... There's no other way to describe him.

[@curt6525]

Everytime Zane speaks he walks away from the mic as if to say 'yeh check that sentence out that I just did'

[@missunique65]

Zane is intimidated by him cuz he's run into a guy who can think circles around him - dude is really insecure.

[@xiahluver]

😆😆😆😆😆

[@Brandon-dk9sn]

John mayer is a super humble guy. Very introspective. Just loves music to turn his trials into art.

[@fabianrafaelmanzano]

I’ll be honest, Zane seems like a really nice guy but I wish I could have watched a 40 min edited version of JUST the John Mayer clips. With the Hans Zimmer inception soundtrack playing softly in the background 👍🏼

[@mdougf]

So happy to hear how well John is doing and always love to listen to his interviews. He gives me hope.

[@Flutterbyby]

John Mayer would be an excellent podcaster - so articulate and analytical + creative.

I saw Dead & Co in 2016 NYC at Citi Field and i got to say that was a great show. I knew John was a blues student and he rips well but to see him with Bob, Mickey, Bill and Co was truly a great great time. Good interview.

Gotta admit. 2018 John Mayer is on some new wisdom. I dig it.

[@mattmanmusic6421]

Literally John Mayer is such an inspiration

[@BennLuvsYou24]

I like how John made that software download analogy about life and ambition. He just blows my mind with the wisdom he’s accumulated through the years.

[@hm2ls869]

John Mayer is my every day listening music. I’m claiming him. Who said I can’t…??? The music speaks to introspection, and thoughts of regret. ‘Try turning 68 and then renegotiate.’

[@mcgrathbissaillon2689]

This interviewer loves listening to himself talk

[@ellensakany777]

Totally. Narcissist.

[@wdrumz]

I used to intern for a radio station called Clear Channel 104.5 Most of them are unbearable to listen to. This why the members of Tool hate interviews, no one listens, talks over them, and all about themselves.

[@raphaelgordh8251]

Go watch his other stuff. Zane Lowe is maybe the greatest musical interviewer on this planet currently, and I will not stand for such slander. He has the best, most insightful, actually meaningful questions of any person out there.

You gave me relief when you talked about starting not to give as much about a lot of things when you became 30. On the documentary parts of Keep Me Where The Light is (forced feed that one on my dad btw, next day he bought all your albums eh eh eh). This time I’m in my 30’s and again I can relate to you and use it in my upcoming mind quests. My girlfriend is called Rose. You freaking wrote that for me man. I should return the favour. And oh, I can’t write songs eh eh eh ;) But seriously. Thanks for the nice views and down to earth/realistic conclusions. Both by the way. Appreciated.

Bart; John took a songwriting class in college...so did I. Best class ever. Just an idea...

[@rockstarnurse2693]

John Mayer is a beautiful, talented man with glowing skin in this interview. P.S., was the interview about Zane or ABOUT JOHN??!! Cleary Zane was so intimidated by John's presence; hence the reason he had to keep asserting himself in the interview.
