At this point it’s clear you’re trolling.

There's not a chance that John Mayer has an album as good as Abigail under his belt. He's obviously a gifted guitar player, but his original music stinks.

And they didn’t ever get there.

Also, Mayer never wrote a hook as good as “Abigail, you are to be reborn when you die OOOOOH OOOOH OOH OOH”.
King Diamond is not a subpar Metallica follower (like Megadeth for example), he was a contemporary. In fact, his work with Mercyful Fate was very influential in Metalica’s formative years- especially since one of the key innovations they brought to metal was some of the Eurometal sound at the time.
Which was, ironically given their later anti-music sharing stance, chiefly imported via tape trading.

They have a unique sound to be sure but the reason 90% of everyone knows Metallica and Megadeth and Slayer and Pantera (well, there was that murder) and Anthrax and a hundred other bands and not them is that they aren’t super special. I don’t judge Grammys as much but it’s worth noting that MF and KD have been nominated once....and Mayer has 19 nominations and five wins. One might argue that they’re too niche or something but the fact remains that beyond the lead singer’s voice and their interesting lyrics and arrangements, from a technical standpoint, there’s Kim and whatever decent band is behind him. They aren’t John Mayer.
We could argue all day about his songs and whatnot, “mom pop” or whatever, but if you watch him live and see the improvisation and bad ass guitar playing, you would immediately see that he is a man who is, from a skill standpoint, unfuckablewith

Subjectively, yes, I’m sure you feel that way. But there’s tens of millions of people who feel that Drake and the cadre of mumblerappers out there are the bee’s knees.
TLDR: I don’t understand the need to shit on things you don’t like instead of simply saying you don’t like them.

That’s ok when it is subjective, but not when it actually is objectively terrible.

It’s not like he’s comparing John Mayer to prison rape or anything.
