Wanna see TGP's collective head explode?

[laughingsam]

a shirtless John Mayer playing Van Halen (for real, not one of those shred videos)

 

[Drowned Rabbit]

lol, dude cracks me up.

 

[teleman1]

John does VH, Hendrix & Jerry Garcia very tastefully. Well the hate crew is just around the corner so

 

[Neon Trotsky]

Pfft, do you even lift bro?

 

[loudboy]

In cargo shorts, no less. <g>

 

[Hawx]

That was fun, DRH is great

 

[hotpaul]

Good for him. Dude looks like he is having a blast

 

[NorCal_Val]

Agreed.
But I've heard that tune played by bar bands at a much better level than his rendition.
His rhythm is "off".

 

[rsm]

looks/sounds a little stiff IMO, EVH makes it fluid (as does Jimi well, he would if he played Panama).

Still fun IMO

 

[shane8]

I didn't know Kanye could sing.

Eddie plays better drunk than John does.

John seems like he's more fun to hang out with.

Just. Wow.

I've seen Eddie so drunk he couldn't stand up and proceed to play like f%*^ing god at a private party.
And no, I'm not a "fan".
Guy's just a monster.
Saw him jam on acoustics with Les Paul too and Les was grinning ear to ear.
John does like he's really having fun, thanks for sharing.

One needs to know one's limitations.

 

[Neon Trotsky]

Well it is Ed's song guys, lest we forget.

 

[LoopyBullet]

Well he started with, "Cause it's summertime and I'll take myself seriously in the fall."

I think anyone taking this seriously and actually comparing it to VH is...well, taking themself too seriously. Sounds like a good performance for something that's supposed to be a bit of a fun joke.

 

[monty]

Yep, good on him. Balls too for playing a Frankie while doing it.

 

[traviswalk]

Hard to make that rig distort like that, you can tell he's got his pedals cranked!!

 

[Fatboy666]

Hahahahahaha!!!

That's great! And I am no Mayer fan. Played well enough and with great sense of humor. Shows are supposed to be fun and this delivers

 

[Kentano2000]

John Mayer playing an EVH Frankie through a Dumble. ...and the TGP gods made love.
