The Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson recently appeared on the Howard Stern show, where he talked about John Mayer touring with The Grateful Dead. Here's what he had to say:
“Donald Trump is president, John Mayer’s in the Grateful Dead and my brother’s in a Black Crowes tribute band...The Grateful Dead has turned into this giant nipple that everyone sucks off to get money. I’m not a big John Mayer fan. Jerry Garcia is a hero of mine. Everything that Jerry ever talked about or stood for — John Mayer is the antithesis … He knows all the licks, there’s nothing unusual about his playing. Jerry was one of the most unique musicians in the world. Jerry never played anyone else’s licks and now here’s John Mayer playing everyone else’s licks.”
On whether or not he would attend the ceremony if The Black Crowes are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
“I’m not going. Jerry Garcia didn’t go, I’m not going. Let’s get this straight: I don’t like my brother (Rich), I don’t get along with him, I don’t want to be in a room with him, I don’t want to play with those people in that band. I don’t hate anyone. The Rock and Rock Hall of Fame to me is like going to the mall.”
