"Maroon 5 is band you're going to be hearing a lot of for many years to come!"

I believe he's since been outsted.

And all these bands, even the Maroon 5, are better than Third Eye Bland.

Agreed.

I think this is Maroon 5's 2nd single. We got some sampler from the album at the college radio station like 2 years ago...its always odd how these sorts of bands catch on (or whatever they do). I think VH1 just played the shit out of their video, much like Jason Mrzrzasa (I don't know if radio was doing this or not). Suddenly there is all these 'funky' white guys and I would like a murder weapon to murder them with.

I checked allmusic and Maroon Five were entitled Kara's Flowers before this with an album under that moniker. Which begs the question which name is more terrible? (x-postish)

Also I am always bothered by allmusic's lack of balls to rip into shitty ass shit like this. Though the review of the last Limp Bizkit album was pretty classic.

Video Hits played the video every week... their album can regularly be sighted in cut-out bins.

Anyway, it's not like a small label can't buy its way up the chart, but it can be a little harder. And Maroon 5, once they got going and found some traction, were able to get onto top 40 radio, where PP and Rooney haven't (although I think Rooney might). Will you be hearing a lot of them for many years to come? Eh. The rest of the album is consistent, they seem to write a decent song, and I hear they're good live. That's how Matchbox 20 started off.

"Octone Records is a NY-based independent record label distributed by BMG Entertainment. The label specializes in developing lifestyle-oriented alternative and rock artists. After initial release, marketing and promotion on Octone, select artists are upstreamed to J Records as part of an exclusive artist development co-venture between J Records and Octone."

Yep, sounds pretty indie to me.

Given PP's 180-degree turn from anything sounding like "California" on their newest album, I think they're aiming for obscurity a la Harvey Danger or the Toadies. Or they're trying to ape Yes New York.

I felt bad because I don't. I didn't tell her that. The worst part was she was trying to do air-guitar. Oh Lord! Awful! She was holding the 'guitar' like a baby!!! I wanted to burst out laughing. I just walked out of the class room and into the hall and headed twords the stairs to reccess instead.

Distro, maybe, but development? Anyway, I find it hard to believe that Maroon 5 made it onto MTV, VH1, radio, etc., without a big, big push ($$$) from a major label. The question is, if their ghost-underwriter dropped out, would they still do as well? I mean, Ruster Root still tours, as do a host of other like-minded bands, but their profile has dropped precipitously. So will I be hearing Maroon 5 for many years to come? Not likely, unless they stay as high-profile as they currently are, which means major label moo-lah.

I begged and pleaded for my mom to change the station when their song came on. BUT FOR SOME REASON< SHE WOULDN'T!!!

What the Hell!!!

I was pissed. I laid down on the backseat of the car and tried to think of something to get my attention away from the god awful song!

I thought you already knew?

What on earth does this mean?

lol

my man stans for skin care AND adderall? covering all his bases I suppose

Yes

first post in this thread is pretty funny now

Adam Levine looks like the kind of guy who brings tofu dogs to a barbecue.

he looks like my hero?

At arm’s length: are tattoos finally becoming uncool?

The mostly negative response to Levine’s artwork may be partly because so much of it looks new. The lines are too crisp, the ink too dark. It’s also a bit too on-point. It’s all tigers and roses: a look that prompted one Twitter user to muse that Levine “is tattooed like he’s the main character in Memento but the mystery is where he left his Juul [e-cigarette]”.

There were two significant moments in the tattooing world last week.

How could they overlook Ariana Grande getting the Japanese characters for "little barbecue grill" tattooed on her hand?!

Oh, wait, they mentioned it. That's a bigger boo-boo than whatever Bieber apparently did and I did not hear about.

where does this rate on the Ben Affleck scale

Adam Levine looks like the kind of guy who gets the words "Little Barbeque Grill" tattooed in Japanese above his butt.

otm

Adam Levine looks like the kind of guy who gets A-D-A-M L-E-V-I-N-E tattooed across his knuckles.

A D A M L E V N

unless he does some between the knuck work.

Thumb tat, yo.

Adam Levine looks like the kind of guy who doesn't take his Men's Health magazines into the bathroom because he wants to keep them in good condition.

Rereading the beginning of this thread is funny.

is Levine's face packed with dry ice or

are levine's shorts packed with dry ice or

Adam Levine looks like the kind of guy whose shorts are packed with dry ice.

Adam Levine looks like the kind of guy who always refers to guacamole as 'gwak'.

new song with megan is terrible

Maybe he just means that he's run out of musicians who will be in Maroon 5?

Maroon 5 blows but he's also not exactly wrong in that the last 10 years of American guitar bands also blow

yes, it blows my mind anyone's upset with this and it's some fun reading

idk the evolution from "shitty band with a hot singer" to "Adam Levine Super Bowl Halftime Show" maybe has something to do with it

new song with megan is terrible

It's kind of anonymously inoffsensive and thereby offensive as a result, but then the line "she's naked in my bed" reminds you that Levine is singing this.

What are we Adam Levine? CATS?!?!?

I saw a tiktok of someone saying Adam Levine looks like a chipotle bag and I can’t stop thinking about it. pic.twitter.com/mKeiMNpp4m

One thing I’ve learned from these leaked text messages is that he definitely writes all his own lyrics

xp Twitter cliches like “can’t stop thinking about/and it’s everything/i’m dead” about as egregious as dude’s tattoos at the point.

tell me my display name isn't poetry

OP seems p ironic at this point.

this twitter thread p much covers the grossness of him & unsurprising nature of the “breaking news”

look if Adam Levine wasn't cheating on his supermodel wife with a Model Mayhem girl then I'd be worried

Once w/in a 6 mnth period I ran into Adam 3 x’s. Each time he told me the story of how we went on a date when we were 10. Didn’t I remember? He was in love w me. I never called him again apparently. It destroyed him. I didn’t remember. I still don’t.

— Katharine Towne (@KatharineTowne) September 20, 2022

Yet each time he told it to me again w more fervor. So excited. Desperate. Until finally the 3rd time at the Rosevelt after saying again I just didn’t recall & leaving him to his models, he walked past me & said,” why do you act like you’re better than everyone.” & flitted away

— Katharine Towne (@KatharineTowne) September 20, 2022

It’s always stuck w me as it was intended to. Teach me not to forget a narcissist. Him and jake both the Jewish American princesses of Brentwood. Mean girls.

OP got a shout out in the latest Your Favorite Band Sucks pod on Maroon 5...

Syphilis hasn't killed him yet?!

My favorite messageboard sucks.

I seriously doubt that Maroon 5 are Anyone's Favourite Band.

I remember this thread, great revive

The 13-year-old poster from early on is probably now 31

People who say "I wish I'd been wrong" ?
