John Mayer – Who Says (Video)
by Staff, October 15, 2009
John Mayer presents the Anthony Mandler directed visuals to his new single “Who Says” off his new album “Battle Studies”. Fans that have been eagerly waiting for new material won’t be disappointed by his latest offering. The smooth melody and its laid back lyrics are properly represented by a cleverly conceptualized video. In reference to the song’s opening line, Mayer makes a clear statement: “When I sing it, I do not think about marijuana – I think about walking around your house naked with a guitar.” In general: “It’s about being in control of the pleasure in your life,” On that note check out for his new “Battle Studies” to be released on November 17.
John Mayer is down with the Harajuku brands fools. Maybe he should put Hiroshi Fujiwara in the video so you can respect him? Dude has been collecting rolexes and wearing NBHD/Visvim/Fragment collabs since before you heard of them.
John mayer is pepto bismol, like coldplay…goes down easy, boring as fuck…why do you have to focus on easy listening rock like this?…his biggest fans are 13 year old girls and your parents…..
John is possibly one of this generations Triple Crown Threats, He is amazingly talented, Very marketable, and the key ingredient “Respected by his PEERS” The most talented artists of this day and age have never seen a muscician encompass the ability to “Really play the blues”. Obviously not many people that read this blog have a musical bone in there body, let alone Good Musical Taste. I myself can go from early MOBB DEEP to Radiohead to Soundgarden to Eightball and MJG to Bon Iver to Benoit Pioulard to J – Dilla to Deerhunter to Coltrane to Poor Righteous Teachers……It’s called Eclectic Musical Taste You Rat Bastards. Go Enlight Yourselves, Life Is Short!
@hds nah, the next big thing will be mika. he’s gonna have yoshitomo nara do his artwork and it’s gonna explode.
@haters do your homework. bob dylan wrote the song that john mayer’s trying to lift from. instead it just comes off as sophomoric. dang ol, still ignorant, man? never liked dang ol soulja boy, man. ol coltrane, though, whoooooooooowhee!
Jay-Z & John Mayer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMBMpg5Y_KY

Just kidding. I love john mayer. I want him to play with me in my pink dress and tickle me like elmo. OMG im such a pansy.
What the fuck is this? This is not cool, or is it? I don’t know what kids consider ‘cool’ anymore.
Why is this on here? Hardly the Hypebeast demographic is it? What’s next, a Hypebeast article on James Blunt?!?!?
boomhaur you ignorant idiot. how u gonna hate on someone as talented as john mayer, who else do you know that went on tour with a bunch of blues artists including eric clapton, played on stage with the police, and rocked out with jay z at the garden. he is an amazing guitar player and song writer.stop hating you miserable f%$#@
John Mayer on Hypebeast? WTF is going on?

Please, you are not making this world any better with your ignorance and negativity. What satisfaction do you gain from the negativity that you emanate?

Boomhaur, You’re an ignorant clown.
Go back to your Soulja Boy playlist on your mp3 player bought from Walgreens.
Anyone else think the guitar in this song sounds a little bit like “Stop This Train”?
Either way, good stuff Mr. Mayer. Lookin forward to the new album.
Not a fan of John Mayer’s music… just not really my thing, but I heard about this song from a friend of mine so I checked it out. I think the video is actually really well done and I mean, who can’t get down with this line?
“Who says I can’t get stoned? Turn off the lights and the telephone, me in my house alone. Who says I can’t get stoned?”
dang ol garbage, man. just plain trash.
i’m starting to think y’all are trying to see what kind of stupid shit kids are gonna keep jumping on. either that or y’all think this dude is worth posting about b/c he was on chappele’s show. it damn sure isn’t because his music is good, though.
John Mayer is amazing.
