John Mayer Covers Rolling Stone
John Mayer is on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time” issue.
Well, not exactly the cover. He’s on the inside flap of the cover.
This is the second year in a row Rolling Stone has featured Mayer on the cover of their now annual “Guitar” issue. Both May 2008’s “Living Guitar Legends” issue and February 2007’s “Guitar Heroes” round-up have paired Mayer with peers and icons alike.
Also on this cover and pictured below: Kirk Hammett, Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, B.B. King and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.
For the behind-the-scenes video of the cover shoot, check out RollingStone.com.

Lmao
I am so not tired of him
Rolling Stone cover? Not bad at all!
I LOVE HIM!
It be great to see a female as one of the best guitarists one day.
Maybe is i push my self i can get my self on there one day.
I’m tired of there not being many respected female guitarists
BUT I LOVE JOHN MAYER!!!!!!
alright i’m out
Rolling Stone has no cred anymore they put reality stars on their cover instead of real musicians wft is up with that. John Mayer is is NOT one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
WTF! The more I see this fool the more I get irritated…he always has an idiotic look on his face so disgusting.
Didn’t they put Slash, Dave Mustain on the cover?
Obviously ANdrea has not seen him live
Legend, hero, god…RS has got it right.
One thing though, John Clayton Mayer, shame on you! Sneaking into Hawai’i without so much as a squeak. I expect a concert stop here in the future. NOT a private set like this time. HI fans need some love too! We need the Mayer here!
i wouldn’t waist my money to see john mayer(just go to you-tube to see his boringness)…i agree they could have put slash instead of this fool.
John Mayer should not be in this group with those other guys.
Rolling Stone has jump the shark
OMG I’m thrilled for him.
He’s turning into one of the greatest guitarists ever.
Go John….love ya!
JJ put his picture because his fuciing thatt jenny woman who made her carrier off of divorce’
Where is Jennypoo? Never so many posts of peeboy before jennypoo. Timing for pics of Jenmayer surface around the time of a Brangie birthing announcement????
He’s ******* Lance Bass.
He’s ’sexing’ Lance Bass…
Cutie-pie!
Waaaaay Too much jealousy in here petaining to a very classy women who was not sexing ur husband, not breaking up your home, and only minding her own freakin’ business!
John and Jen make a fine couple, whether you approve or not!
Cutie pie!
oh, always a cutie John. his talent put him on the cover
jonny-pee-boy is not goodlooking. he is ugly. although, he has a great voice. i see he got rid of his baggage! TheChin was too clingy and needy. he isn’t a one woman kind of guy. their pictures were “the real” PR stunt. bet they are going to make jon into the bad guy now. as TheChin will cry to everyone, again. and some poor innocent woman will be labeled “homewrecker.” lol, and again, there wasn’t even a home to wreck (snicker.) do we see a pattern playing out?
don’t be fooled by rolling stone AKA joke of the last five years
and also
don’t underestimate the power of huvaniston. ;)
handsome? I see much better looking guys on the streets of brooklyn.
talented? I listen to much better subway musicians in union square.
pee boy got lucky only AFTER he dated jessica simpson.
WTF he made the list? Just like last month’s cover of The Hills, proof that Rolling Stones has lost quite a bit of credibility.
John and Jen broke up already? We knew it that after Cannes festival they won’t be a couple anymore. That was very predictable. What a sorry life. Aniston needs to grow the **** up.
MATT BELAMY FROM MUSE DESERVE TO BE THERE!
HE’S AMAZING GUITAR PLAYER!!!
He looks like the love-child of Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp!
where do you get those shirts?! miley and nick jonas wear them and i want one!!!!
OMG!! He has no business standing up there with the likes of Santana and and BB King! Metallica’s Hammet can play cirlces around Mayer in his sleep, and Eddie Van Halen has more innovation in his big toe than Mayer has in his whole body. Led Zep’s Jimmy Page is a MASTER of soundscapes and a musical virtuoso, and Mayer should be happy he is even allowed to share air space with him. Mayer cannot hang with these Priests of Rock, period. He sticks out like a boil on the azz of rock and roll. He should be lanced so he can go away and pee on Jennifer Aniston some more. Those of you praising him need to brush up on your rock history if you don’t know who these other guys are, then you will see how misplaced your admiration is. His talent is microscopic compared to these guys.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rolling Stone you suck!!! There is no reason to put John Mayer on the cover. They are trying to go after the younger demo…oh please!!
What about Jeff BecK?
What about The Edge?
What about Eric Clapton?
I am sorry, John Mayer is an ass and I hope nobody buys this magazine!
I agree with a few of the comments above. John Mayer is okay-ish, but he is NOT A PATCH on the greatness of people like Santana. Maybe one day, but not with his repertoire as at present…..definitely misplaced. And probably just there because of his ‘celebrity’ status, rather than sheer, raw talent.
aww i love him :]
He’s so gross looking. Like one of those guys who never bathes.
Mayer is such a phony and hyped up. He does not belong next to someone like BB King, Buddy Guy, Santana Those who have walk the walk and paid their dues.
John Mayer brought his way in with money and manipulation. Mayer is a fake. It’s time to hype him up because he needs to sell his summer tour tickets and push his merchandise. Plus puff himself up to Jennifer Aniston and her people. Due to what ever mental illness JA has she is looking for a man with a big career-it could be any man but this so call someone has to be bigger than life and he is trying to fake it now. So disappointed in that article. It shows John Mayer can buy his way in and thats an insult to the others
His web sites are setup to brainwash people into thinking he is more than he really is.
Mystupidmouth and Tryjm have comments but you are not allowed to say anything that is not kissing up to Mayer. Totally phony
So obvious that the posters making comments have been on MSM for just about the duration of his career-they sure post like paid employees put there to hype up his career to new fans.
They say things like “I can’t wait go get tickets to all his stops” to push fans to buy lots of tickets. Mayer’s whole image is so overrated.
People need to see him for what he is “a very weak man” with money floating to hype him up more than he needs to be. I think Jennifer Aniston sure brought into his game.
IF he was all that he would let his career stand on it’s own without all the malnipulation.
The song “say” is a very stupid song but I believe stations are paid to play that dumb song.
Heres to hoping karma bits Jennifer and John in the behind.
This douche bag go get a tattoo, hook up with lame chicks pay for a spot next to the greatest guys in the universe and this jerk thinks he belongs. Just because he is flairing up to some hobag. Oh he l l no!. I call foul this stinks! it’s an outrage.
I’m so writing rolling stone they have become such a joke.
This is so Pathetic. I will give him alright player but nothing amazine. NO WAY that cat belong there. He is not worthy.
The Rolling Stones are a big joke like this clown. Jenny and her peeps can buy this garbage all they want but the rest of the world know better and are laughing at this jerk. Come on Mayer can’t be that delusional. These are the symptons of a too big ego with money to spend.
wow. i’m totally in the minority. i totally LOVE john mayer <3<3<3
Mayer is a douche bag that can fool women and aparently Rolling stone.
He is the king of manipulation. I don’t feel sorry for the people he trick. These days people need to due some research and stop relying on this phony jerk to bluff his way in.
Jennifer has all the information in front of her, his past is no secret. She thinks she can change him well she get what she get. I’m not going to feel sorry for her.
Ye this the man, He is young and consider to be the greatest with the all this amazing and accomplished people. It is a big thing. that is jen man.
the funny thing is the the person who post at first is the one who is tired of him. that is one delutional person.
I do feel sorry for Buddy Guy because John is trying to ride his coat tail all the way up the ladder.
bet @ 05/31/2008 at 12:28 pm
that is jen man.
***********************************
LOL you still think so? Jen is another notch on his bed post. He’s looking around for her replacement already.
Time to get the paid workers up. Got to hype-hype-hype.
ew ew ew. he’s gross.
I heard the parting of the ways are already in the works.
I think Jen was smart this time.
That tattoo is so ugly and why on 1 arm. So stupid.
TheChin didn’t break-up with Jon-pee-boy, LOL! Jon-pee-boy left TheChin (snicker.) In all the PR pictures, TheChin was clinging to an indifferent Jon-pee-boy. DUH #46!
That shows desperation on Jens part. Jessica Simpson does that to. Cling to men for fear that they can’t get a better one. Surprise how no one said any thing about how the airbrushed his face to hide the real fugly mug.
Whatever John does in his private life,has nothing to do with the fact that he is a gifted guitarist! Eric Clapton invited John to play in Eric”s
“Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007″ It was a great concert.
What, John isn’t supposed to be with these gifted guitarists because he is young? They ALL started out when they were young.
I like John’s music and wish him well. Jimmy Page has always been special to me,too.
Just because some has the ability to manipulate their way into a circle don’t mean they belong there. He is not gifted he plays ok. So many millions can do the same thing he does. It’s nothing special. Just massive brainwashing thats going on.
John Mayer is a tool and douche bag. Greatest guitarist ever? WHATEVER!
I have always wondered why he could not pull someone like a Megan Fox. That chick is so hot. Maybe Rianna.
john mayer is such a douche bag sell out. first, he blogs about his gay man crush for pete wentz and how he’s so talented. now, tell that to ******* jimmy page or eddie van halen and they will laugh in your face and lets see how fast he fights to retract those words. there are so many young guitarists that get no recognition that will smoke this blue-wanna-be. not creative in anyway. everyone else belong there EXCEPT mayer. why not derek trucks? why not joe bonamassa? why not kenny wayne shepard or jonny lang? guitarist that have put out more then one “guitar” album. douche.

That shows desperation on Jens part.
***********************************************
Not to worry. Huvane will pay some other guy to pose as Jen’s new man and the tabs will be full of JEN’S! HOT! NEW! LOVE! as soon as Brangelina’s twins are born.
Dating and relationship expert Matt Titus sees this kind of behavior as an ego trip.
“I think John likes to conquer the current ‘It girl,’” he said. “I think he has a very egotistical freak in him that’s masked by that pretty-boy artist-who-doesn’t-care vibe. He aims for the ‘It girl’ to make him the big guy in Hollywood, the guy on all the magazine covers alongside Jennifer Aniston. Mission accomplished.”
^^^^
This says it all.

It’s called hit it and quit it. It’s been going on since the caveman days.
Stud here is not that great he plays certain people to pull strings. All the while trying to climb up the ladder on their backs. Any one that know guitar knows that. He is trying to pay for media attention right before his summer tour. How else will he fill the tour.
No body wants to here no such thing or your f–king body is a wonderland and waiting on the world to change is ****joke.
What are we waiting for you to change Hollywood hos again.. I would puke if I had to here crappy “say” his blues crap sucks to. All that continuum junk sucks. There is his concert-no use in bothering.
It stop being about music long time ago. Now it’s about paying PR people to get you where you need to go.
Nice to see John up there with these legends.
John, if you’re reading this–
Don’t let what these people are saying bother you. The only people who take the time to make such negative and hateful comments are those who are jealous, bored, and unhappy in their own lives. For every hater on here, there are hundreds who love you; they just aren’t searching for dirt on you on the internet, and therefore don’t usually comment in these forums. Your success speaks for itself. You absolutely deserve to be on that cover.
wow. john mayer standing next to some real musicians (and eddie van halen). i guess they needed to find someone of regular looks to desaturate the ugly on the cover.
i just dont get the mayer thing, his music is superlative in its mediocrity and it just bores me to tears. he’s ok looking but nothing special. are we, like, short on quality man beef or something?
Truly overrated !
Wow, seriously where did all the John Mayer haters come from?
Somebody must’ve made somebody mad or the pr push/hype machine is broken.?
John deserves to be there as much as anyone else that’s pictured. Have you given him a chance, have you even been to one of his concerts and watched him perform?
True, lately he hasn’t lived up to what he always said he wanted to be (or not to be), is that what’s pissed you off? I hated the whole “don’t believe the hype” deal and now this publicity/maniston crap. He just needs to go back to being who he is. Be John Mayer.
John’s got it all, maybe that is what you hate.
Talent, talent, and even more talent than you’ll ever know.
Plus, he should have made the true cover, not the flap!
Besides, he’s on the cover for “100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time”, not greatest guitar player, dumbasses!
He became a “Guitar God” a long time ago….
According to Ok Magazine, John and Jen were spotted have a romantic dinner the other day. I think it was last night.
Sorry, I meant to say they were spotted having dinner, not have.
Dear god, some people need to learn how to separate their opinions about his private life from his professional life. You may not like his music (I’m not particularly an Eric Clapton fan, although he’s amazing) but he is inarguably an incredibly talented musician. If you disagree, go apply at Rolling Stone and maybe you can have a say next year.
I have to say that when I saw the cover of this magazine I almost threw up. John Mayer next to these amazing guitarists is hard to swallow. The only people who think he belongs on the cover are his little girl fans who wouldnt know a good guitar player if one was shoved up their asses. So many amazing young guitarist out there who are probably steaming right now. **** i would have preferred they dig up jimmy hendrix’s corpse and placed that in the cover shoot.
Its just ridiculous when there’s 7 great guitarists up there and then John Mayer. Everyone knows hes about his image more than his musicality, so it just tells us all a little something about what rolling stone really values in music.
P.S. He looks like a ******* racoon.
