John Mayer Talks with Sammy Hagar About His Unique Career | Rock & Roll Road Trip

[@tdz69]

When I first heard JM I didn’t care for him. At all. Fast forward and he’s one of my favorite artists. The guy is a master songwriter and guitar player. He’s also brilliant and I enjoy all of his interviews. It’s a treat to say the least.

[@pbhushanbsb]

Its almost always when you try to learn his songs on the guitar when you develop mad levels of respect for this guy , also the fact that he is always more amazing in his live gigs than the records

[@joellalashius7304]

Saw him play on Clapton's Cross roads concert and I became an instant fan... didn't care for his pop music

[@beardown2489]

I think there a LOT of people out there like you and hopefully many more to come

[@insaneiaq]

Exactly the same for me. I didn’t “get” him for years, though he was a joke, but now I really enjoy every album and have seen him in concert. Very great songwriter and musician.

[@thomaskupovits4033]

Totally true. Heard body is wonderland and thought nope. Then he put out continuum and I was like where was this hiding.

[@ChuckWasHere]

It's no wonder John Mayer is such an excellent lyricist. He used about 25 awesome metaphors during this short interview.

[@paulp8153]

So true and as fun as Sammy seems, John is far too heady for him 😂

[@milly-nb4pr]

that’s cuz he’s a genius x 100000000

[@Besokool]

Above it all, for me as an old Deadhead - he honors Jerry in a very personal, and beautiful way. It was hard for guys like me to embrace him into our Dead universe. This catalog of music is my whole life. And he handled it with such care, and elegance. He's won me over forever - for making Jerry smile down from heaven. .

[@ccasche5088]

We’ll said. I think he has done so with grace, self depreciation, and killer musicianship.

[@iomibestlefty]

Jesus if you struggled to embrace johnny boy you may as well ask yourself what Fatman would think of you. You think jg would wish a lifelong fan of the product he helped create to suddenly lose interest and support. Otherwise you should have conceded back in 95 you died as well. I hope you were not one of those fans who continued to follow them yet doubted and criticized evry attempt weir made to regain your lost support ? Even bob and other 3 band mates decided life must go on.

[@Besokool]

@@iomibestlefty I am eternally grateful that John Mayer become a Deadhead. It's funny - I've enjoyed his entire catalog of music, even the early pop stuff. But when he entered our world, I didn't know what to expect. Then friends in the community were sending me early Dead and Company shows - lossless audio codec, and video footage. My mouth dropped to the floor. That was at the very beginning. Now that I've been to a couple of dozen shows, my mouth is still on the floor. I don't imagine there are too many tours left. I will be devastated when it ends.

[@iomibestlefty]

@@Besokool lol. I learned long ago that it's a wasted thought to plan Bobby's retirement party !!! Its a party he probably would not make anyways he most likely would be on the road touring!!! TOURING! It's all he's ever known, grinding out tours. Big tours, small tours, biggest venues, smallest venues, highly anticipated tours for massss,, tours with no anticipation except for a few most loyal to him but always grinding out tours. And I feel bobs in as good of form as we speak than he has been since end of eighties decade and possibly longer.

[@iomibestlefty]

@@Besokool what sais you kool

[@kaseigunsou]

Mayer was already an all time great, but since he's been touring with the Dead he's been legend material. I mean, for a guy playing mostly blues & penta scales, going to the brillant complexity of Garcia must have been really like stepping out of your comfort zone for Mayer. Yet, not only did he adjust superbly, but he also took his own spin on it and made it like he's been playing with the band forever. Mayer is so versatile, that's his most outstanding quality in my opinion. I'm never bored of his songs because I can jump from blues to pop to country to folk to psychedelic rock within seconds. Listening to Mayer is like stepping up into a car on a beautiful summer morning without knowing beforehand where you want to go. You just drive and enjoy the scenery and before you know it, you end up in some remote amazing location you didn't even expect to visit in the first place. As a guitar player, he's been nothing but a wonderful source of inspiration.

[@TheMasonator777]

TBH I’ve never heard Mayer as a straight blues or pentatonic player. He puts every interval in that is needed, when it’s needed. S.R.V. was the same. The context was blues, but the guitar playing had much broader and deeper harmony.

[@mattlandonmusic]

I agree with you here, except on the point that Mayer needed to “adjust” to play with Dead and Co. He has always had more complexity in his playing (and writing, of course) than just blues/pentatonics. I know you’re trying to say that he rose to the challenge and really flourished as a player in Dead and Co but he already has those abilities before-he just didn’t often use them, because it wouldn’t have been stylistically or musically appropriate.

[@kevinborchers3522]

Well said

[@Ruefus]

The reality is that at the core - the Dead *is* Blues/Pentatonic based. The song structures vary in complexity, but at the end of the day its American Blues, Country, Western, Pop, Rock....etc. With a healthy dose of 'recreational' substances and even more creativity. ALL of that is built on a foundation of Blues and by extension, pentatonic scale tones.

[@cheftekard7165]

Completely agree!

[@joecampbell4199]

I don't think a lot of people realize how good John is on guitar. The greatest legends say hes a musical genius

[@jamesbarrick3403]

Anybody who knows music knows he is elite. Just waiting for some clown to say he is "underrated".

[@ShawHortonMusic]

@@jamesbarrick3403 Well, I don’t think someone would necessarily be a clown for saying he’s underrated. People who know and follow music absolutely know how talented he his and give him that deserved respect, but some people who aren’t as invested in music, especially his kind of music, may just see him as a pop guy rather than the insanely talented guitarist that he is. Granted, John does tend to hold back on the solos in studio recordings, the live shows are where he really lets it rip.

[@A_A_ron-Phillips]

@@jamesbarrick3403 - I’ve heard clowns say he’s over-rated.

[@DylanJLIVE]

@@A_A_ron-Phillips most of the people who say hes overrated are only saying that because he doesnt shred crazy scales for the sake of shredding, and thats what they consider skill.

[@A_A_ron-Phillips]

[@TheNothing6]

I love how John said "career claustrophobia" because I love when artists and bands try new things. Fuck what people think. Do what you want with your music and art.

[@RMDx2]

My favorite thing about Mayer - he plays what he wants

[@tbone9347]

exactly. they can always work at mcdonalds

[@manager4409]

I think all his songs sound roughly the same. I wish he'd make a raw rock record, something a bit heavy

[@elblopex]

The way John talks makes you understand why he's such a great songwriter

[@cmikesmith664]

So true. Wow!! Amazing songs from this guy. 🎶🎵🎶

[@lbsubstylee]

[@djarruda1489]

John is speaking super candidly and is really transparent which is nice to see. Awesome interview with two legends!

[@kodykindhart5644]

Put anyone w Sammy

[@robertryan5434]

He's become better and more down to earth as he's aged.

[@gavinlynch6605]

Awesome. Love the part where John says “my stomach is hungry immediately after I eat” really inspires me as a young artist to keep trying new things even if if scared. I feel like he got a lot of that mentality from the dead, and I could be wrong but jerry was on that same frequency, and it’s great to see John on that train. It’s grabbing kids like me attentions and it’s a bliss. Thanks John!

[@kjguitarman]

John’s a very hardworking musician and it shows. His ability to play so well with the Dead, like Jerry, is practicing constantly. Jerry’s daughter said he played scales all the time at home. I’m sure John does too. Btw…your no slouch, Sammy. Standing Hampton is a great album that helped me get through middle and high school.

[@markunruh2047]

He'll never top Standing Hampton.

[@bryannelson6139]

Two cool and talented guys. Mayer has so much feel and soul. Sammy is really a humble and respectful guy as well.

[@Savagemode09]

it's nice to see John comfortably in his own zone and talking about the grateful dead. I'm 50/50 because I like his music and his drama with a Taylor but by the end of the day you appreciate the artist and his talents. He always made that light switch go off whenever I needed inspiration him and Adele.

One of the best ones. And that's without any playing at the end! JM is a living legend and did things the right way. To hear him explain it makes total sense to me.

[@-Wreckanize-]

John Mayer is such a virtuoso. I regret I didn't listen to him during school. His music and guitar playing is just phenomenal.

[@TheRayfield77]

I regret I never saw him play a show at my school. For a brief period he was playing small shows in my area.

[@EadsB7002]

He's incredibly talented, there's no doubt about it! His first album dropped my freshman year in college and it truly changed my life.

Wasn't a JM fan until I saw him with the Dead, he's really amazing, Respect JM!!

[@technicalitems731]

I’m a VH and Sammy fan. Big time. I once circled in the same circles as John Mayer as a drummer in the Atlanta area. We are a year or two apart in age. I was unaware of how good he would become and how good he was at the time. I kind of dissed his stuff as blues pop or something. Not that I was rude or whatever....but I think I was angry about how the 90s had killed rock and progressive music. I just heard his style and thought it was a throwback to pre-80s hard rock. Just seemed boring or typical in the “bar” atmosphere. It turns out he had something and with some record company money and a push....he really blossomed and shined. I really took notice when John came out with the Continuum album. Omg. Those were some serious players on that album. Yes, it was mild and modest as far as technical ability(musician wise) but as far as soul and feel, over the top. I felt his “band” style of recording where he had input from a great drummer and bass player etc... really made it a complete package instead of just the John Mayer, look and listen to me show. He had some decent stuff on the next album or so. But continuum was the sh!t. I haven’t bought his latest Miami Vice knockoff album but I will. I “got it” the first time I saw the ads for the album. He is doing the 80s retro thing and I think I’m gonna like it. He listened to the same stuff as me in the golden era of the 80s being that we are about the same age so I can relate. Those were the best of times and the pinnacle of musicianship music. Eddie Van Halen, you started it all and RIP. Legend. And sprinkle in the Gods like Phil Collins, Pink Floyd, The Police, and Def Leppard and you have some killer influences for a retro sound. John, if you read this...remember the Rexall Drug Store diner in Duluth Georgia? The ice cream shop. Eddies attic has moved and it’s not The Red Clay Theatre(I’m sure you know as you still keep in touch with Eddie). Later 👍

[@decencywarrior9598]

I credit Johns incredible playing with keeping Bobby W. going with Dead and Company - pretty much a national treasure band that the world needs in the great vein and spirit of Jerry Garcia .

[@keithremedy]

If you look at the 2007 Nokia theater show he was really something way back then. The blues trio section of that concert shaped my opinion from thinking he was the your body is a wonderland guy to realizing he was one of the most talented guitarist of this generation & ever & is on the Mount Rushmore for many people

[@Bibleguy89-uu3nr]

I'd like to agree but they just skipped their Florida shows over politics. Never in a million years would Jerry Garcia have done that.

[@katherinemartin4426]

Awesome interview Sammy with John Mayer!❤️👋

[@roscianyt]

At first (his first album), I was like "this Mayer guy is OK, I guess." Now he's one of my all-time favorites. Up there with The Beatles and The Stones. I love The Red Rocker, as well.

[@kimberlykairo]

Such an a-a-mazing man. Even John Mayer’s errors are correct. I loved this interview. Love, love, love him.

[@FloridaManRacer]

I'm glad this interview ended with Sammy telling John he's 'Unchained' (pun intended) I've sensed for a long time that John doesn't want to be pigeonholed into one genre of music. He wants a free flow of creativity. Sob Rock proves that. It was a total about-face from what he'd been creating. The new album is much less lead guitar focused. He just sparingly touches the songs with licks mostly that tease you and leave you wanting more. Which is brilliant to do after having showcased what that 'more' can be. John is a consummate ARTIST. Like he said. You get bored of painting with the same colors. Being able to not only have the freedom to play around with the stylistic nature of the songs, but have the ability to create them at such a high level is such a gift. I wish I developed that somewhere along the line in my playing myself.

[@probelife7254]

This interview was awesome! Great vibe between them

[@EddyG0rdo]

His explanation of “neighborhoods” and “maps” is so true. Notes really are like that.

[@jamesbond4633]

I saw John Mayer perform in London Ontario on Valentine's day back a few years ago. He had those hits where all the 14 year old girls were his biggest fans at the time. Someone told me that I should go see him play live as he was a lot heavier than those radio songs they were playing. Boy I wasn't disappointed. What a band he had with him and he was a lot more rocked up than I thought he would be. He did play some quieter things as well. Also his band was allowed to shine as well so he wasn't pulling the big ego rock star thing. If you ever get a chance to go see him do it!!!!!! Also he is very funny when he talks to the audience. Puts on a great show!!!

[@debbiegreen7051]

Once you see him live theirs no going back to just listening anymore❤️😀.

[@chrisbirch6304]

James bond where in London

[@passattdise]

@@debbiegreen7051 You don't see him live... you HEAR him live. And that's what changes you, and lets you see that he puts just enough hook on the album / record / or latest releases, to get you to buy it.... It's when he expands it out on stage live, improvises, lets the rest of the band do the same, that you understand how good he really is, and sounds.

[@manager4409]

I always thought his songs were too soft and fluffy for my taste. if he played with some light distortion or more raw I think i'd like it

[@liamouziel211]

Johns a super unique person… be shot 8000 metaphors at us in 8 minutes and he made every single one of his ideas crystal clear… a master player musician and songwriter and he’s just over all a super positive man and you can always see that in his interviews, the choice of words says it all

[@heavyrelic8506]

I guess we all agree to the fact that John Mayer is one of the most important musicians and guitar players these days. At first a lot of people didn’t take him serious but in the last 10 Years he made an astonishing progress. He is totally free to do what ever he wants. I’m sure there a lot to come. And he has the respect of the greats. Even in the guitar community he made his stamp. He has a distinct tone a lot of people refer to. Some years ago nobody cared about the TS10 for example, they were like way under 100 bucks used. Now the go for 300€ +

[@Invertedworldx]

It amazes me why people don't at least like John but I just love the dude so much and Sammy the same way. Just funny down to earth guys with talent.

[@tribzman3977]

I think it comes from being an admitted egomaniac and narcissist from years back. He's improved in that category thankfully, but I still see it in this interview a bit, as he seems to like hearing himself talk about himself. Regardless, he's an unbelievably underrated musician. Clapton holds him in high regard if that says anything about his abilities.

[@Invertedworldx]

@@tribzman3977 I completely agree with your point. 100% I don't care about all those things I've watched him evolve as a person and even enjoy his narcissistic qualities lol but most people don't see is he at least admits though qualities about himself and still truly a decent person with all his faults you know.

new found respect for John, what a talent

[@ricky4214]

i heard Bob Weir say he had a dream where from the back of the stage he could see a gray haired man playing the guitar with the Dead, and he said that gray haired guy was John Mayer. It sounds like when he mentioned Bob Weir here that it was along the same lines, like Bob wants this music to live on and John Mayer is being groomed to be the steward of the music going forward in time. John has done a better job trying to fill Jerry's shoes than I think anyone could hope for, I'll be pretty pumped if in like 2 decades from now I'm still going to Dead shows with John leading the band. I went to a few dead shows this year, and for a band that is a half century old it feels fresher than anything out there today which is incredible and I'm a huge fan

[@EveAndGraceLLC]

There was a time many years ago….John was a bit full of himself. I can see why a young man could get lost at a young age all that success etc. it could go to your head…agree…fast forward years later he has chilled out big time. He is all about his music…he loves it. He loves to create and you can see it. He is a true artist. A great singer, songwriter and wonderful guitar player. I would put him in my ten guitarist. Perhaps top six and he is still young. I have played for joy many years…I am not in his league but good enough to recognize ability. He is such a good guitar player….premium. I like John Mayer…very much. The artist he has become now.

[@stringtheoryguitars4952]

His first two albums are the best pop music since Paul Simon and Elton John in the mid 70's. If you haven't listened to Room For Squares or Heavier Things before, they're brilliant beyond belief. Incredibly complex and sophisticated musically and lyrically as gifted, poetic, and introspective as you can get.

[@violentofwakes11]

I agree he is one of the last true musicians in the classic rock tradition.
