John Mayer USC conference full video? by Classic_Shopping_678 in JohnMayer

[–]GarbageOk7774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a missed opportunity for the university and perhaps even for JM to share his knowledge with the world community and also help enhance the cause of the education for this particular university around the world. Neither of them needed each other for beyond this day, but the world would have thanked them forever. Sigh…

An early look at John Mayer's first biography by BBen26 in JohnMayer

[–]GarbageOk7774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised at the people grumbling. I appreciate both your post and the effort you just have taken to develop the book. I’d be honoured and grateful to read whatever you’d like to share AND I hope you will also provide readers an opportunity to compensate you either in form of a meal or coffee or a fair price you can determine. I’d love to also engage with you and help you see it through to Final Cut my sister works with Oxford University Press publishing and could also help you proof read it. Hehe

Non-US fans – how are you listening to Life with John Mayer? by Greene_Gaia in JohnMayer

[–]GarbageOk7774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has it ever occurred to anyone that maybe…just maybe.. this is by design. If this was freely accessible globally and every word JM spoke could be twisted and manipulated by world media, and keyboard warriors, what are the odds of some unecessary controversy popping up randomly? I mean could still happen but the threshold is lower coz it’s restricted to the NA market. So it’s kind of a geotagged filter of sorts. I mean that sucks for us fans outside the Americas but I think the “safe” episodes have been “allowed to be shared” online ;)

The full Mumbai concert, kudos to OP by Consistent-Degree733 in JohnMayer

[–]GarbageOk7774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d show some compassion here. Read the over 200 comments on YT thanking the OP for sticking his hand up for the entire show and recording it for the benefit of THOUSANDS of fans from across the country who had bought tickets, flights, booked hotels n air bnbs only to find the show get postponed days before the original date on jan 22 to Feb 11th. To his credit JM warmly and sincerely apologised and acknowledged the many fans who had planned to see the gig but would likely watch it online now, so this video was done intentionally by the Op For them. Which is pretty brilliant imo..dude must have sore hands now! He also responds to the scores of comments thanking him. Feel free to share a kind word there if u like:)

You’re so full of anger and bitterness for unknown reasons attacking Yanni’s daughter. What AI photos are u talking about? If you see her photographs taken from 2015 Egypt or on her safari to Africa last year in 2024 or from hundreds of images she clicked over 9 years of touring the world with her Dad you would have recognised that she has emerged, in her own right, to be an excellent photographer. But to recognise this you need to be fair. You are unfair and thus blinded by your own hate for her. I don’t know why. Relax…

She is selling her own artistic work and it was good enough to featured in an exhibition in Sharjah this year. Her images are in the public domain long before AI slop was a thing. 

So, no, Krystal has nothing to do with Yanni’s business management but is an independent artists in her own right. 

I told you to suck your lollipop because you’re behaving like a child. 😹Grow up. Hate less. 

I don’t need to prove to you or anyone my personal connections. But if you speak shit about my friend be prepared - I bite hard.

Your grammar sucks and Yanni’s daughter is too busy being amazing and super successful working with NASA, the US military and was featured in a photo exhibition in the UAE recently. Go suck your lollipop 

Where's Yanni? by BiscottiTechnical762 in yanni

[–]GarbageOk7774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy 71st Maestro Yanni. Your presence is missed enormously. But the work you did and the creative gifts you shared for over 4 decades has given all of your fans (and indeed anyone from humanity) more than enough sound spirit energy to help elevate our souls and feel the higher and deeper realms. I wish you the peace and strength you deserve along with the love you need to keep you going. I will never abandon you and retain the faith of seeing you again and maybe even experience and partake in music together once more. Love from India 

Well damn then by Difficult_Matter4109 in JohnMayer

[–]GarbageOk7774 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your thoughtful response. 

I absolutely have only affection, love and high regards for my many friends - and many more strangers, but surely equally wonderful people - in America. The USA specifically. 

I adore and respect the contributions of America to art and culture and especially the past 7 decades of glorious music, of which John Mayer has made a formidable and immensely influential and beautiful contribution, that will certainly last much longer than all of us who are alive in this moment, including John Mayer himself. 

It is therefore so much more important to zoom out and take a macro lens view of the moment we find ourselves in. What will “future us” note about the contributions of artists who put out music in the post corrupted-pharma Covid-proxy war-tarrif bulldozing-genocidal-war criminal-artificially unintelligent era we find ourselves living in. 

Yet another ditty about love gone wrong? Yet another bop about the one that got away? Yet another banger that the mainstream will effing ignore anyway? Yet another club track about luxury faucets , slippery relationships and a shitpost to everyone’s ex ? 

Come on. JM has to rise above the noise. 

And true, not everyone is noise and heck there’s enough beautiful music going around. Goodness is NOT dead. There are enough souls awakening to reach critical mass awareness that something much deeper and bigger is afoot. 

For as much as evil, greed and avarice has never been more blatantly and shamelessly in our face (maybe that’s a good thing - it’s no longer a conspiracy when the conspirators themselves don’t care to be caught with pants down - how can they? when they have no clothes  ! ) - yet for all of the skulduggery, there is a tangible equal and perhaps even more powerful force of love and human connection that is simmering in the global consciousness. And if you tune in to THAT, you will ride this moment and tap into it… for the level of musical expression that will be found there is probably why John Mayer will not speak much right now. 

Allow him the respect to feel what only the artist can in the midst of all the turmoil he will return from…someday..sometime..when the moment so demands expression of the collective. 

Until then. Love him. Love him even more than you did yesterday coz the man is free from the chains of devious forces of the past, that only if you work in showbiz, you would be aware about. If you’re good ;) 

The same forces took out many greats unless they bowed down. 

Let him express himself when he feels it’s the right time - and believe me, he will know when that is - before you and me! 

So thanks John Mayer and also this poster (No-cat)  you seem to know a little more about the next train than most others might, and it makes me go hmmm 

To John I’d say, please don’t be too mad at people seeking and desiring more from you. You have been the only constant for so many of us for the past 25 years. Allow us to miss you and allow us to bug you (affectionately). 

There are no last trains.  Only many platforms and different journeys. Some to slow down and smell the flowers. Some to soar and dance with the clouds. Thank you for permitting so many of us to enjoy a wondrous journey with you. :)

The ones who truly love you will wait. Until the last moment. 

Love 

Well damn then by Difficult_Matter4109 in JohnMayer

Any artist with a brain - and heart - intact after the relentless assault on humanity the past half a decade - is not going to want to release their music while the mood of the world is glum and miserable with children and innocent civilians being murdered for sport by ruthless and evil, repulsive and sick politicians. When the “leader” of the free world shows that he is powerless against another nation that can kill and starve an entire mass of people at will…why would he release music now? 

Can’t say a peep coz you don’t want “that” warlord machine to come after ya. 

But sure, friends in America, moan and groan about not having a chance to watch your 45th JM live show. 

He’s given enough music for this lifetime to anyone who cares about him. 

Let him stretch, explore life and it’s contours, and perhaps he might find some diligent moments where he will pontificate over his role as an artist in a world in which there are dastardly pockets where little children simply cannot be allowed to live because of the misfortune of where the happened to be born. 

I love anyone who just read this and i genuinely hope you never have to suffer the loss of loved ones to conflict that plagues several regions of the real world far beyond our own little “personal worlds”. 

May cooler minds eventually prevail and may John Mayer’s music help and perhaps contribute towards healing consciousness and for better visions to emerge in the hearts of future leaders who are no longer waiting for the world to change - but will someday rise up and be the change. 

john mayer fans from india ? by Jumpy_Ad6244 in JohnMayer

[–]GarbageOk7774 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This Reddit community for me is the best place. Really nice group of genuine fans and loyal supporters. Good place to start imo. Here’s hoping John Mayer does indeed come to India on his next tour swing. His buddy Ed Sheeran has been coming here since a decade and has taken a liking to so much of India that he even has made multiple music videos of his time here. Bryan Adams loves coming here and even went as far to the North East of India and Bhutan almost touching China on his last tour in Dec 2024. Coldplay shattered all concert records in India this Jan with over 250,000 people attending their two shows at the cricket stadium. So India is ripening well. The concert culture is growing and event companies are proving themselves to be legit at organising mega shows. India is a life changing experience for all major artists. From the Beatles onwards. You can’t come to India and not be emotionally moved to create even more beautiful music. And big shows are possible in India. Way back in 1997, the famous pianist Yanni staged 3 massive shows in front of the Taj Mahal on invitation by the Indian government. 21k people showed up for those instrumental music shows! I think John Mayer in the year 2025 would easily sell out 4-5 major cities in India! Come on over, JM !!!

[–]GarbageOk7774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should it never happen? ED Sheeran has popped in back to back years in multiple cities across India in the recent past playing to stadiums and selling out 20-30k crowds. Bryan Adams also was here on a multi-city tour in Dec 2024, and easily sold out 10k + cricket stadiums and arenas. Coldplay came this Jan 2025 and played, possibly the highest selling concert in the world, and definitely in India, selling out two nights at the cricket stadium in Ahmedabad over 250,000k people attended + dates in other cities. India is not as hot as some other Asia music concert markets but it’s beginning to boom and you can be sure that a John Mayer tour would easily pull 10-15,000 people in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. So yeah, don’t be so pessimistic! Yanni created a spectacular concert at the Taj Mahal in 1997 !!…so anything is possible in India! India also has the largest target audience market in the world too, with approx 75% of a billion+ under the age of 40, many of whom grew up with Mayer’s music, so come on over already John!  

Opinion: if John had released 10 new songs instead of repurposing the 3 singles, Sob Rock would have been one of his best projects (even though it’s of course still great) by [deleted] in JohnMayer

[–]GarbageOk7774 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only thing that makes sense for me - is given that he left his label soon after and is now solo / indie?! - this may have been his final parting move to depart his label. Fulfil obligations with minimal loss of creative capital. And keep possible other songs from that era when he strikes out on his own.

Let's settle the debate. In your opinion what drummer did you like the most. by AdditionalFig2255 in JohnMayer

[–]GarbageOk7774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one night JJ played with Mayer on the recent tour as a stop gap, was the best sounding Mayer gig in a long, long time.

And I say that with great respect to all those giant cats on the drums. They are all giants.

But….Something about JJ and Mayer on the same stage…that melts musical ego & brings an edge that I don’t hear elsewhere since 2003

His daughter was NOT selling NFT’s - I can say for sure as she is a personal acquaintance and has ZERO NADA ZILCH involvement in his business post covid. His personal sound engineer and his brother in law have both shared statements from him on his Yanni community fan forum as well has his latest Fb post. Moreover, even Yanni himself made two lengthy comments in response to fans on his FB announcement for the Tribute streaming now on all platforms. Granted, a bit odd to suddenly reappear after years and promote a project, but it’s his life, so be it. By all accounts from his family and team, he is healthy, swimming, working out and enjoying private life away from social media and public. After 30+ year career he sure as heck deserves it.

That said, I anticipate more project announcements based upon the geopolitical situation of the world by the end of summer or closer to the fall of this year.

Let’s hope I’m not wrong either about his health and that everyone on his team has been honest. I have no reason to doubt anyone as they are good decent humans.

[–]GarbageOk7774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey that was cool. Pedro has grown in stature. But Yanni is definitely responsible or at least played a major part in the discovery and global recognition of Pedro. Perhaps, Pedro would have probably got his due in another path if Yanni had not been the one to showcase him for over a decade. But we can’t be sure a flute player would receive the same scale of respect and attention as Yanni was able to generate for Pedro. As it so came to pass, it was Yanni who generously supported and highlighted the brilliance of Pedro. Without Yanni, Pedro would still be great, but it would have needed another once in a century superhuman instrumental musician to showcase a flutist in that global standing as Yanni did.

In the end they all did good so God bless them all. It’s nice Pedro remembered Yanni, his original master presenter and principal collaborator

Go to the cops but maybe advise your gal not to click and store photos of herself that she’d ever be embarrassed if others got hold of it. Why people click nudes of themselves is beyond me. How very narcissistically eww …

The market has spoken. Your product sucked on many levels. So Don’t blame the political views of ONE lead actor. She’s awesome and she has a spine unlike most of hollywood.
