i took this pic yesterday while i was there, during john mayer's set.

Awesome! Glad to see George's gear out and about...is that Mayer's own amp or one of his band member's?

one of his band members

That's Mayer's guitar player's amp (David Ryan Harris?) Mayer's too big a sissy to play that much amp yet himself.

I still can't believe he's playing sideman with Mayer...DRH is such a wicked writer/player/singer on his own. I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do to pay the rent.

That's OK, even Jimi played side to Little Richard!

I'm with you Andy, I tried to give him the benefit but I just don't care for Mayer. At least he's making a living off music (that's more than I can say for myself...)

Yeah but the difference is he had a career way before Mayer so it'd be more like Hendrix after becoming famous, going back and being a sideman to Little Richard!

I know.....it's not that the guy can't play either (despite being overly Hendrix/SRV derivative) but it's the package he chooses to wrap it in.......I guess he probably gets the little girlies in the sack and that's what matters, right? More than you can say for me, as you put it Chief.......

Never did work that much for me but there was that one time the band I was in opened for Ian Hunter at the Ritz in Manhattan...whew what a weekend!!

Well I guess a couple of times I came out on top (and bottom and sideways and upside down...

I understand maybe his song writing not to your taste but you dont like even when he rips one out on the guitar ? I dont know he has his moments. Kind of a funkster bluesy choppy guy. whatever. to each their own. i wouldnt run out and buy his album though ill say that. I respect his music though.

Me too! I've always liked SRV, Curtis Mayfield, and Dave Matthews. I'd respect him more if he'd play a Metro amp.

Yeah if Mayer had a Metro it just wouldnt look right with a set of training wheels on it

he doesn't need to use a metro amp, he uses two-rock's and dumble's

Well then, obviously it's not the amp that is annoying....
