my only problem is, if i refund the tickets, i might not be getting the seats i have chosen. baka pag dating ng  concert, kung san lupalop nako makaupo o ipwesto. nakakainis lang, parang nakaparada nga pera ko sa Fearless Productions. so i think i'll be keeping the tickets nalang.

rednas is right, pero it's Fearless Prod who's nakalibre sa lending, kainis noh?:

same here. Imagine, if the good seats weren't actually returned for refund tapos you gave up yours then the bad seats are the ones available come sept or oct.

John Mayer: famous girlfriend blues




John Mayer would prefer to talk about his guitar-playing, but what everyone really wants to know is how he's treating his woman, Jennifer Aniston. 'I've never cheated on anybody,' he assures Angus Batey. Portrait by Richard Phibbs

John Mayer, his 6ft 3in frame crumpled into a utilitarian office chair in a side room off a warehouse-like rehearsal space in Burbank, California, sighs, half-smiles and briefly stops speaking. The 30-year-old guitarist, songwriter, singer, designer, sometime stand-up comedian and prolific blogger is taking a break from putting his band through their paces for their European and American tour, and is happy to talk about music, songwriting and the eclectic nature of his own creativity. But his recent elevation to paparazzi-stalked A-list celebrity status - and the main reason for it: his relationship with the actress Jennifer Aniston - hangs heavy in the air.
 
'It's a very interesting thing, man,' he says, fidgeting as he locates what he hopes are the right words. 'I never really think about money, to be honest with you. I've never done things for money.' He pauses briefly, then corrects himself. 'Er, very few things have I done for money.' Another pause - this one more the deliberate timing of a comedian. 'I've never done things solely for money,' he grins. 'I think that's what I wanna say. But the idea that there would be any advantage...?' The pause this time is almost imperceptible, as he quickly contemplates the possibility that others may perceive the choices he has made in his love life as being part of a publicity stunt.

'The moment I completed the circuit of having thought about it is the moment I feel dirty from the inside,' he says, with the merest hint of a glower. 'I've never thought like that. The one thing I'll take with me to my grave, hopefully, is that I've never made a decision based on anything other than my heart. I wonder what would happen if I, like, thwarted a bank robbery?' he says. 'Would everyone be, like, "Well, everyone knows you're a musician, now"?

'This is one of the hardest lifestyles to live, socially, because there's so many ways that it can go dirty. And I'm just trying to live as suburban a life inside of what I guess is a much larger persona now than I've ever had. That's why I'm so happy to go back out on tour - but the thing is, even I'm less interested in talking about music than I am in talking about this stuff?! It's not even the elephant in the room, it's like the room is inside the elephant. We're talking inside the elephant's ass right now!'

The coverage Aniston has been getting in the celebrity/gossip press since her marriage to Brad Pitt ended could best be characterised as protective. Men who come into her orbit are put under fearsome scrutiny, the slightest indication of anything less than a flawlessly chivalric character taken as evidence that they're going to break her heart. Although he and Aniston have not been seeing one another for long, it is already happening to Mayer, whose past relationships have been pored over in an attempt to portray him as a womaniser. An old blog, in which he transcribed some song ideas designed to show the contrary nature of love, was widely - and erroneously - reported as a public get-out-of-my-life message to an unnamed former lover; his explanatory follow-up was ignored. Suddenly, he is in the firing line. Even if Mayer and Aniston were to marry, have children and sell the pictures of their ruby wedding anniversary party to 2050's version of Hello!, you feel that there will still be some people waiting for him to do the dirty on her. But even to consider that such thoughts could affect affairs of the heart is an affront to the humanity and sensitivity of his music; and to suggest such a notion is to crawl ever farther up that elephant's rear end.

'I've never cheated on anybody, so you won't have anybody coming out the woodwork saying that I have,' he says. 'Instead of worrying about career damage, I've dated women. All I've ever done was decided that I fancied somebody, and said, "Would you like to go out and get a meal somewhere?" And done so in a social setting, where other people can see you. And then maybe "Would you like to go have another meal?" Maybe did that a few times. And then, when I realised that I didn't wanna wrong anybody by continuing, said, "I'd rather be a great friend to you than a bad boyfriend." I swear to God, I have a really good track record!'

He has never discussed girlfriends or exes in interviews, and though it is known that he briefly dated Jennifer Love Hewitt and has been linked, with varying degrees of accuracy, to Cameron Diaz and Heidi Klum. But the only public comment Mayer has ever made about the women in his life was when, on the red carpet at an awards ceremony, the American Idol host Ryan Seacrest asked him about his then girlfriend, Jessica Simpson. His one-sentence answer was delivered in fluent Japanese.

The winner of five Grammy awards, Mayer has sold more than 10 million copies of his three studio albums, and been acclaimed as one of the leading guitarists of his generation. His stand-up gigs led to a one-off television show; he designs his own record sleeves and limited-edition electric guitars; he has written a regular column for American Esquire, and maintains a few entertaining blogs. As an astute and often very funny inside observer of the workings of the fame game, Mayer has few equals (in the past, he's treated the world to hilarious but largely unprintable riffs on the likes of Paris Hilton and, ahem, Brad Pitt). And while he acknowledges some frustration at his present public profile - the photos of him and Aniston frolicking in a pool, or having dinner - he is phlegmatic about it.

'I'd rather not have people following me all the time, but I don't think it's advantageous just to sort of flail your arms around about it,' he says. 'This is the new way. People are always saying, "Oh, this is overshadowing the music." But the tabloid industry makes more money in a week than music makes in a year, so of course it's skewed. Of course you have more questions about that; of course there are more photographs of me now exiting a vehicle than of me playing music on stage, because there are more people buying these magazines than buying music.'

Mayer and Aniston were introduced by a mutual friend, the singer Sheryl Crow, so without the music, none of the rest of this would be happening. The root of his musical career is his guitar-playing: ask him whether he considers himself first and foremost a guitarist, songwriter or singer, and he says, 'To me, it's like you've just said "guitarist" three times.' His infatuation with the instrument began at home in Bridgeport, Connecticut, at age 13, with a rented instrument; he worked at a petrol station to save up to buy his first Fender Stratocaster, which he still uses today, even though he now owns so many guitars he has had to start 'finding them better homes'.

He had three formative influences. The first was Marty McFly, the character played by Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. At the film's climax, McFly saves the day by playing an outrageous guitar solo. 'It's a really heroic moment,' Mayer says, 'so that informed the heroic side of guitar-playing.' He has described a need to win the approval of his schoolteacher parents, who felt that his hobby should remain just that. But it was his accidental exposure to the work of the blues-rock guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan that led the teenage Mayer to discover the giants of the genre, from Albert King and Buddy Guy via Jimi Hendrix and on to Eric Clapton.

Today, he counts Clapton as a friend (they will share a stage at Hyde Park on Saturday). Slowhand even invited the young pretender to stay at his London home. 'Visiting and spending time with him was very important,' Mayer says. 'I don't have enough good things to say about him. The thing that was passed on was, "You don't need any of what I went through: you can have where I'm at right now." Isn't that great? That maybe history doesn't have to repeat itself: that if you put our two lives together, only one of us had to go through the dark stuff? It's an incredible gift: "The first day I got sober is where you can live the rest of your life." I went home completely high on wanting to be like Eric Clapton.'

He may not have the drink and drugs stories (these days Mayer allows himself only a daily shot of single malt - 'notice I said "a Scotch", singular,' he says. 'Drugs ain't my drug! I got enough glands secreting weirdness through my blood'), but his career took a decisive turn after a near-death experience. At 17, he was hospitalised with an irregular heartbeat. The condition was soon treated, but not before he had been told that a possible solution would be to induce a cardiac arrest. It was a profound shock: that same night, he wrote his first song.

Against his parents' wishes, Mayer poured his energies into playing, and won a place at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. After two years, he had had enough of what he felt was a stifling concentration on technique, and headed to Atlanta with a college friend, playing bars and clubs, looking for a band to join. Instead, he wound up becoming a singer-songwriter, and an independently released disc was picked up by the Sony-owned Columbia Records.

'Room for Squares' was a promising debut. Mayer won the first of his Grammys and the album sold more than four million copies. The next, 2005's 'Heavier Things', beefed up the sound and pushed his writing forward: among his two Grammys this time was one for Song of the Year. More multi-million sales followed, but still, as one of the song titles had it, there was Something Missing.

Mayer found it in 2005. Unhappily pigeonholed as either a singer-songwriter or a pretty-boy pop star, he returned to his roots as a blues guitarist, forming a trio with bass player Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan. He toured with them, playing a mixture of new songs and covers with a stripped-down, slicked-back intensity. A live album, 'Try!', captured the essence of the band, but it wasn't quite a masterpiece. That came next.

The song Gravity on Mayer's brilliant 2006 album, 'Continuum', was the track on which everything came together. A slow, sparse blues, ostensibly about a guy wrestling with the fallibility of relationships, it appears on 'Try!' as a silky breeze of a track, a laid-back, resigned moan. By the time he recorded it for 'Continuum' - the first album he produced himself - Mayer was fully in charge of his craft and his material: this time, the performance is pitched right at the point where simmer becomes burn. His vocal is pushed up-front in the mix, with a minimum of reverb: listening on headphones is like having him half-sing, half-whisper straight into your ears. The rest of the record followed suit, the production meticulous, the playing understated, the songs allowed plenty of breathing room.

'Gravity was the proof that less is more is a really safe approach,' he says. 'It happens on the record, but I'm still fighting the over-playing on stage. I can still hear where I wanna get to: I'm getting closer, I think. This is where the pop side of me comes in: the blues side listens to the pop side and goes, "Er, not expressive enough", and the pop side listens to the blues side and says, "Too repetitive". It's a matter of finding the middle ground. If I can do it, which I've done on a couple songs, then I really feel like I have a place in music: if I can't, then I'm just lucky still to have a gig.'

There is a new record on the way, but Mayer is in no hurry. In today's rehearsal, he is working on cover versions to pep up the tour set. He and his formidable band experiment with a reading of John Coltrane's Naima; a pummelling version of Robert Johnson's Crossroads is patterned on the arrangement by Clapton's short-lived pre-Cream supergroup, the Powerhouse; and, after 10 minutes sitting cross-legged on the floor with the lyrics, a pen, his guitar and an iPod, he has come up with a sizzling blues treatment of the Welsh singer Duffy's Number One hit, Mercy.

He can come across as nerdy - he collects wristwatches, he obsesses over fonts - and his attempts to make himself accessible to and involved with his fans are ambitious and sometimes bizarre. Last February he took hundreds of fans on a four-day cruise on a chartered liner that was temporarily renamed the 'Mayercraft Carrier'. He played gigs and was photographed dressed only in a lurid green Borat-style 'mankini'). In print, some of the things he says are baffling. But when you are with him and he comes out with, 'I'd like to know how to fly a helicopter. I'd like to know how to crack a safe. When I die, I want somebody to say, "That's a lot of information that's gone: the universe's hard-drive space just went up by a gig," it doesn't seem like eccentricity or affectation, but the entertaining musings of an unusually engaged personality. His voracious appetite for new ideas feels like just the logical outcome of giving a smart, self-motivated guy the time and money to immerse himself in the things he cares about.

'I think I'm a good beer-buddy,' he says. 'The only people I rub up wrong are the people who think I shouldn't be having this good a time: the people who go, "No one man should be that happy." "Not fair," is what you should have the world screaming to you. That is how you should be pissin' people off.'

There's something else there, too, hidden most of the time beneath the surface. Not insecurity, exactly, or a need to be loved, but maybe an anxiety about how he is perceived. As the rehearsal ends for the day and he heads out to his car, his parting words are: 'Be nice to me!' Maybe he thinks he's been too open, maybe he is starting to feel that press interest in him is now more likely to be hostile. Or maybe he just thinks about all this stuff a bit more than the average rock star.
