John Mayer Interview on the Bobby Bones Show

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!

[@TomMcGovern]

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

YES! Even the interviewer was speechless when he told that story!

[@jackquelynnhernandez3894]

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.

[@AP-zo1ww]

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.

[@wildgrlie55]

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

[@postcardsfromj]

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.

[@beatrizolascoaga6567]

wildgrlie55 yesss!!!! I agree! He's amazing and he is so under rated.

[@caylapawlowski2418]

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.

[@samira13azeez]

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.

[@riaville82]

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

[@xchrispykilla21]

Israel Fresse well said

[@Cb20222]

He used to have a cocky demeanor about him. He’ll likely tell you that, but not at all anymore. He’s a fun guy to listen to now a days.

[@outtanuttin]

Dude literally just called himself a jedi. Proud yes, but also certainly cocky.

[@AlexFarleyMusic]

I love the way he listens to his own music.

[@AlexFarleyMusic]

@@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.

[@internetphenomenon734]

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!

"Listen. It's always a cool reason not to come to my show because someone has a show of their own."

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!

[@707king]

I think a LOT of people take John’s 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. I’ve never heard someone speak about themselves to such levels like I can until I start hearing Mayer’s interviews. To be able to just explain why you do things or why you think things, or speak honestly about what you’ve 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.

[@lumieredarling3739]

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

[@diddle56]

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.

[@alonsocastro703]

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 .

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.

[@Pondwelling]

I think John Mayer is highly underrated and misunderstood.He might have done some mistakes,but we all do.And those who overlook his music because they think he is a certain way should start appreciating him 'SEPARATELY' for his music.☺ I hope somebody gets what I did with the last line..:p

[@MichaelMatarazzo-t2f]

Love John mayers music. Can’t believe he lived so close to where I grew up in snellville, GA. And Duluth, GA in the 1990s! Small world!

[@CVo83]

Such a damn good interview. I listened to it on iHeart and then came over here to watch it. Good shit.

[@Pippi-rippi]

This is such a fantastic interview. My respect for John is immense

[@msprisfigueiredo]

I'd listen to him speak forever.

[@Hexspa]

John Mayer is such a guiding light. I've never said this about any other musician and I've probably seen interviews with all of them. Thanks, John!

[@joeymeyer4797]

I'm slightly drunk and everything about this video just clicks with me

[@joeymeyer4797]

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.

[@VividFilmProductions]

Nice try john

[@VividFilmProductions]

Lmao I agree man john is articulate

[@rain8084]

Same

[@olaandersen1052]

Hey bud I love you

[@csjbackups]

Wow! I lived in Snellville Ga for like 9 years as a kid, and I've been a big John Mayer fan for like 14 years and never knew he lived there too! I've been to 6 Mayer concerts, and he lived right in my town and performed; thats pretty awesome/crazy to me, finding that out so lonng after being a fan. My head about exploded😱Lol😂

[@DavidSims-Music]

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!

[@templeislandriven]

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"

[@DavidSims-Music]

Grassy Harkins, I know right! He played it off well.

[@jimbradley727]

I don't know if you'll read this John Mayer but I respect where you're at.. your pop music you came out didn't affect me as I'm more of a blues-rock guy but when I first saw you perform and blues numbers I was totally impressed and still am.. Most young men's egos will hurt them without the fame and fortune that you ran into so good job on getting on the other side of it..

[@filiplapin4438]

Absolutely agree with John: this was a great interview!

[@sarapeterson5547]

your passion for your music shows...still feel like your man is different than anything you've done yet that's a great and amazing thing (in my humble opinion). Phenomenal interview, gotta love Bobby Bones! Great interviewer...great musician John Mayer

[@sgim43]

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

[@xhefmx]

One of the most fluid chats with John. Love the bit about Lee. Forever a favorite.

[@bingbongshamalama]

Honestly it's refreshing to hear an artist be a fan of their own music in a way that isn't "Yeah I'm the greatest artist of all time" ala Kanye or something. John just likes how his stuff sounds, and that's cool.

[@ES-yz3vk]

18:05 to 18:12 is pure magic...you cant write a moment like that in movies as perfect as that

[@ninaisanamazingduck]

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

[@jessejive117]

Still feel like your man is one of my all time fav JM songs dude.

[@inesperndorfer7894]

He has the power to inspire me on so many levels. Thank you John

[@AlpacaMade]

Thank you for such a refreshing interview; Mayer is right, you're a great interviewer. I feel like I know more about what makes Mayer tick from this 20 min than all the other 3 min interviews I've seen cumulatively over time. Well done.
