Fu< the slide solos, fu<k the rest of the band, fu< the pluged in stuff. Just Listen to this one guy and his acoustic guitar, the hole cd. and then say you dont like it. the truth is it wont happen...... the truth is it won't.
I actually find disc two of live at mars to be pretty boring.
Disc 1 is better than disc 2 for sure. Not that I dont like disc 2. But most of the time its just TOO mellow and simple (for 60 minutes worth of music, anyway.)
I concur.

I voted for Ben. Lyrically, he is far superior (in my opinion). His voice is also very good... different but good. Plus, I like the way Ben just lets go and screams/chants, or whatever the hell that is that he does. I also really like the sound he gets from those Weissborn(sp?) guitars.

John's voice is a bit too monitone for me. I like what he does with the guitar, but his lyrics are a little immature.... like he's catering to the young junior high girls that follow him around. This could change though. With his musical talent, he could really go places if he could get some solid lyrics down.

yeah I agree, Mayer's voice is not that great... but his songs are somehow not as catchy as those of Ben... a major plus for Ben..

Ben harper is unbelievable. I have seen in concert twice and he phenomenal solo. Mayer is a talent but he got alot to of songs to go before he can catch Harper. And the guy who thinks Eddie Vedder is awesome is so right. I have been trying to find a colloboration between Dave and Eddie but they all suck, somebody help me out
