message: I agree with the merging of the 'Kara's Flowers' article with the 'Maroon 5' one, it seems only logical as they are more or less the same band.
I disagree on this issue of merging the pages into one.  Kara's Flowers was a completely different band than Maroon 5, their musical styles are very different.  Kara's Flowers evolved over several years into one of the leading local bands in LA to infuse funk and soul into rock.  I ran a local internet radio station which supported Kara's Flowers from the early days up to thir contract with Octone Records.  We and our listeners could clearly hear and see a difference once the band changed their name and style to what they are now known as, Maroon 5. -Malia
I completely disagree with the merging. This isn't like, say, Jefferson Starship/Jefferson Airplane/Starship.  Kara's Flowers is a completely separate entity.  While Maroon 5 likely wouldn't have existed without it, Kara's Flowers has its own sound, identity, and history... not just a blip on the Maroon 5 timeline.Shuckiduck 13:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: There's no mention of Maroon 5's great rendition of Sly Stone's "Everyday People," the band's contribution to the Sly and the Family Stone tribute project Different Strokes by Different Folks. Misterdoe 03:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I really think it is better article, though I really dislike Maroon 5 :). Nevertheless, this is an article not some shitty mess like the one before. Glad to have been on board.

message: Listening to their stuff the drums are either miced very well or they use a drum machine for the studio albums. any truth to this?? MrM 09:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Drum Machine?

message: The style of the history section doesn't look right. Combining multiple events under one paragraph is the first thing, then adding the years in the titles too... that's just not necessary when you're looking at a history that only goes back 12 years. 
Also, Ryan's problems with his arms started during their first full-length headlining tour. The way it reads now, under the (2006-present) heading make it seem as tho he just started suffering in 2006. 
Lastly, Matt Flynn was also not the only drummer to replace him temporarily, as the article currently implies.  Ryland Steen was his original replacement. Then there was Josh Day who played until Matt took over.
In his section of "Midnight Miles," Dusick explains what happened to him on the road:
:"When we returned from Europe to start our first full-length headlining tour of the States, everything came to a head. ... by the end of the third show, my right arm was shaking so hard I was incapable of signing my own autograph. ... Before I took my first break from touring, I lived with the daily anguish of knowing that it was just a matter of time before my body would give out on me. Every show was a rush of adrenaline and pain, excitement and agony. 
:I finally went home for a week to rest, flying in our good friend, Ryland Steen, to take my place for a few shows. ...
:Halfway through [a college tour of the States], I deteriorated to such a degree that both of my arms were pretty much useless. Josh Day ... was kind enough to sit in for me while I went home to undergo tests and physical therapy, expecting to have to miss a couple months of touring. ... Over the next nine months I underwent every kind of exam and therapy imaginable, all the time thinking about the band performing without me. Matt Flynn ... assumed the drumming duties. No one could get a firm grip on what had gone wrong and how it could be resolved. ... All I knew is that I couldn't play the drums."

thread_title: History & Ryan's injury

message: Quick question re a Trivia entry: it says that the band celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2004, yet the page lists the band to be active since 1997, which would mean that 2007 would be their 10 year anniversary. Any comments on that? K.satirli 20:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They formed as Kara's Flowers in 1994. They celebrated 10 years as a band... they've just changed the name and added a person since. --LaraLoveTalk/Contribs 06:15, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

could we get some sources(other than mtv) stating that maroon five is a rock band. im pretty sure they are a pop group, so pop rock at the most.

thread_title:  Not Powerpop 

message: Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I belive the lyric in the song is "not fit to f--king tread the ground that I am walking on". It says "funking" in the lyric book, but that could be because of not wanting the curse in the book. I am almost sure that it is "f--king", because the radio edit censors this part and at every live performance, Adam puts a pause between the words "to" and "tread".Chick No.16 04:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose it depends on the audience, but at the Aug 25, 2004 concert in Charlotte, North Carolina, he was not censoring lyrics. Nor has he ever censored the lyrics of their cover of Nine Inch Nails, "Closer". I've removed the information and will try to work it back in with better prose. LaraLove 05:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: He doesn't censor his lyrics in concerts. Only on TV, and that's required by the network. Lara❤Love 04:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
