God I love that interview from Blender upthread. He must have been humping the chair.

"a sea of sheets"

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish I had a 19-pound bag of pot from Amsterdam.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:46 (twenty-one years ago)

You could do tricep extensions with it.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Thursday, 13 January 2005 00:49 (twenty-one years ago)

My sister is at college. She says all her friends play this of a Sunday morning. I guess that's 'lifestyle-oriented rock' for you.

― Miles Finch, Thursday, 13 January 2005 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Hm, I'd say Maroon 5's was the decent-est track on that hapless Spider-Man 2 'soundtrack' CD. So yeah, there wasn't much competition there anyway, but those few songs by them I've heard afterwards have sounded rather worse to my ears.

"She Will Be Loved" is outstanding.

I hate to say it, but it is.

for me to poop on

― billstevejim, Thursday, 13 January 2005 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I bet you liked Five for Fighting too.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 13 January 2005 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

FFF is too slow

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

FFF is more of a Train thing. Maroon 5 benefits from not having lost "the fire" (see upthread)

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

-- Alex in NYC (vassife...), January 13th, 2005.

See, this is why I said "I hate to say it." I don't like Five for Fighting; I don't even like any other Maroon 5 songs. But "She Will Be Loved" - until I see it in like a commercial for a Freddie Prinze Jr. movie or something, what can I say?

― Rick Massimo (Rick Massimo), Thursday, 13 January 2005 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Five For Fighting were boring.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 13 January 2005 18:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Five For Fighting were boring.

They're not boring, they're EVIL (and not in an interesting Aleister Crowley sorta way). Five for Fighting -- much like Maroon 5 -- are the sonic equivalent of Soylent Green. Soulless product.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 13 January 2005 18:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Five For Fighting are much more analogous to the lesser output of John Mayer.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 13 January 2005 19:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, I retract that. That's a bit harsh. Maroon 5 are no great shakes, but they're certainly not as bad as Five for Fighting.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 13 January 2005 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Five For Fighting are much more analogous to the lesser output of John Mayer.

Agreed.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 13 January 2005 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

"This Love" was close to being my least favorite song of 2004. Nothing about that fucking song worked, nothing in it meshed, especially the frustratingly bad chorus. The biggest problem with Maroon 5 is the lead singer, not just for his stupid goat voice, but just because he can't sing, so he has to sing it like "THIS! (gasp) LOVE! (gasp) HAS! (gasp)..." It's just choppy and irritating. Fuck, do I hate this song.

"Sunday Morning" and "She Will Be Loved" are both good, though. They really need to embrace their inner soft-rockers rather than fight them.

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Thursday, 13 January 2005 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

The Maroon 5 guy's delivery style has the cadence of Stevie Wonder without any of Stevie's passion or quality of tone. It's as close as you can get to humping a corpse when the corpse in question is still technically alive.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Thursday, 13 January 2005 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan I thought you might dig FFF's opera background!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 January 2005 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't mind "This Love" too much until we got the new Singstar disc for Xmas. It has to be said though, that all 3 of my children can now sing it better than that bot in Maroon 5.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 13 January 2005 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Nope: his voice, lyrics, and the Jamiroquai-style music

The correct answer would be Thicke.

AnyHOW, I like it Maroon 5 in a masochistic kinda way. I know as soon as the song has finished, it'll be in my head for the next five frigging days. Which either means it's got a good hook. Or a good hook.

(SCENE: La Scala, Milan.)

OPERA DIRECTOR: "Cominci, signore"

THE FIVE FOR FIGHTING GOOFBALL: (to the tune of the famous "Rigoletto" leitmotif)

Non posso levarsi in piedi!
Per volarlo non sono!
Che ingenuo sono giusto fuori!
Trovarmi la parte migliore!

OPERA DIRECTOR: "Bastardo! Partite e mai non ritornate, ladro della tomba! Li ucciderò io stesso se li vedo ancora!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 January 2005 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the way the Maroon 5 guys says "pretending" in "This Love."

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Jamiroquai lacks the lyrical depth of Maroon 5

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

But they also lack the lyrical depth of Lipps, Inc.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

But they have hats!

― mike h. (mike h.), Thursday, 13 January 2005 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

this is true

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 13 January 2005 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Britney, Christina and Justin have all been great hosts. They've been bred to be total entertainers since they were little kids, and it totally shows. They all have surprisingly strong comedic chops. I'd be happy to see any of them host again.

Britney Spears is probably the worst actor I've ever seen.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 13 January 2005 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

The Maroon 5 guy sounds worst saying "beautiful" on "She Will Be Loved".

― C0L1N B--KETT, Friday, 14 January 2005 05:12 (twenty-one years ago)

my roommate is listening to this right now. i think i'm going to kill myself.

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Friday, 14 January 2005 06:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't kill yourself, silly, KILL YOUR ROOMMATE!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 14 January 2005 06:35 (twenty-one years ago)

― evolshti, Friday, 14 January 2005 06:46 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

Well, it's almost been a year! Are we still hearing about them? Almost one down, many more to go! Alright!

I keep seeing them mentioned on Arab blogs.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Monday, 6 March 2006 13:44 (twenty years ago)

Favorably?

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Monday, 6 March 2006 14:26 (twenty years ago)

Uh huh.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Monday, 6 March 2006 14:36 (twenty years ago)

I always thought "She Will Be Loved" was by that James Blunt guy.
We heard "This Love" on top 40 radio while driving back from New Orleans, like in the middle of Alabama. Which means that it still gets played somewhere. Catchy song.

― js (honestengine), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:03 (twenty years ago)

I like their album
and the live one even more,
much potential here

'Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine has ditched tennis babe Maria Sharapova because she is a "terrible lover" who refused to move or moan during sex, WENN reports. Levine told Russian magazine Exile "She wouldn't make any noise during sex. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I really thought, like a lot of guys, that she'd be the loud screaming type. But instead, she just lay there like a dead frog. She even got angry if I started to moan, said it 'ruined her concentration.' It was so disillusioning that I went on Paxil (an antidepressant) for a month afterwards. Really, it was much more of a shock than when I found out there's no such thing as the Easter Bunny." '

chivalry.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 12:23 (eighteen years ago)

I find that story rather implausible.

― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 12:28 (eighteen years ago)

i assumed it was from 'the onion' or something. but no.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 12:31 (eighteen years ago)

fwiw both Levine and Sharapova appear to be denying that he ever said those quotes.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 12:49 (eighteen years ago)

We're assuming the worst after seeing the video for "Wake Up Call."

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 12:53 (eighteen years ago)

lol the exile

― gff, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 13:08 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, he's a class act.

Although, color my face red. I started this thread in 2004 -- and holy crow, look at the time, it's late 2007 and we're still talking about them.

― Alex in NYC, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 13:48 (eighteen years ago)

"It was so disillusioning that I went on Paxil (an antidepressant) for a month afterwards"

I'm not in the habit of defending Adam Levine but I think someone's been had re: this quote

― DJ Mencap, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 14:08 (eighteen years ago)

The videos on the making of "Makes Me Wonder" are interesting.
