He is definitely a cocky bastard for sure. I've watched way to many videos and heard too many songs to notice this. Pretty much the polar opposite of Dave's gratitude.

I think john is a good guy, i mean if you listen to his interviews (the sincere ones) he seems very thankful for where he is.

you have to be a little cocky if you want to be as good at guitar as him

that's bullshit
just look at Tommy Emmanuel or Tim Reynolds. Both trump Mayer and are no where near as full of themselves as he is.

i'd say he's pretty close to Clapton now, and i'm sure Clapton is pretty damn cocky

I'm a big Clapton fan, and somehow I always thought he would be kinda down to earth...

That's what I've heard as well. I'm guessing that's an assumption you made, klondy?

Yeah, that's an assumption. He (and his music) doesn't seem, at least in my mind, to lend itself to anything but a down to earth type of guy

oh yeah. Back in 99, he just finished up the Pilgrim record and he was living in a rented house in the Hollywood Hills. He called up my company to get some cat 5 ran into his make shift studio cause he loved to surf the net. I got to talk to him for a really long while cause it was just him and me. He was telling me about the days when he used to hang with the Beatles and doing all sorts of illicit drugs. He said Jimi Page had the biggest coke habit and smallest cock he'd ever seen on a man. He also said that his internet addiction forced the album to be delayed. Apparently he's a big fan of the site ratemypoo.com. Dude's a fecalphiliac. He gave me cash like $400, an autographed guitar and a bag of weed for like 30 mins of work and 3 hours of bull shitting.

Wow, that is absolutely fucking amazing! What a story. Sounds like a really chilled out, down to earth dude. That really is too cool! I knew Clapton was sweet :thumbsup:
