John Mayer?? Worst guest yet.

Outstanding clip although I'd say worst on this tour not ever.

This is pay per view so they are going for the commercial angle and his fans who will buy this just to see him but he's really awful. I don't understand all this raving about his guitar playing. Technically he might play some good things, but it's so incredibly boring and copied. No personality to his playing.

They always seem to invite the newer acts which is fine but why not someone like Raphael Saadiq who sounded really good with Mick at the Grammys. Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, Timbershite, it's just embarrassing.

But tonight's not a PPV. Mayer won't be on Saturday's show. Thankfully.

John Mayer's guitar playing may be derivative, but whose isnt to some degree? I think a lot of hatred directed towards him stems from the commercialisation of his music to play him up as a heartthrob for female fans. But he was against this and if any of you listen to his new album you'll notice that his musical take on it is a lot purer. I think he's a great musician, even if you can hear the stolen licks in his solos

Then it's even worse. I hope he doesn't mangle Wild Horses. There is still probably the commercial angle of getting new fans, which is fine, but I just can't stand his playing or singing.

He'll probably do I'm Goin Down. He's still recovering from throat surgery and can't sing.
