"Wow, Maroon 5 used to be a decent band but they've been totally Maroon 5ing themselves since 'Songs about Jane'"

Get the maroon 5ing mug.They are a band. They used to be amazing, making songs like "Sunday Morning", "This Love", "She Will be Loved", and all of the other songs on their first album "Songs about Jane". Now they are shit, making songs like "Moves like Jagger".

Mr. God means Mr= Maroon. G=Gang O=Or D=Die. Maroon gang or die.

Get the The Maroochydore Track mug.The stage after browning when a woman's blob juice infuses with the stale stagnant brown crust of the anus, resulting in a sloppy rich maroon coloured splendour between the snatch and crack (formally known as humber bridge).
Not the best day for Tilly to do a marathon, she had been marooning since her period last May.
Rodger: "Finally got Kitty back to mine last night... got more than I bargained for"
Malcom: "No way man! Can't believe she marooned!"
Mundy: "How was the Destiny's Child concert last night?"
Pete: "Was so good Munds, I got so close, I could almost taste Beyonce's maroon."

Get the marooning mug.A band that used to be fantastic.
Maroon 5 actually formed at the camp I used to go to (French Woods Festival) and released a phenomenal first album in Songs About Jane. It's hard to describe exactly how much that album means to me. It was one of my favorite CD's back when I was growing up, and I still love that album! It stands the test of time that well! The songs (with the exception of "Must Get Out" and "She Will Be Loved") were/are very well written both musically and lyrically. The sound on that album is basically like a mix of funk, alternative, and pop-rock. The result: one of the most unique albums of this generation.
However lately, they have been drifting further and further away from that classic sound I know and love to the point where I feel uncomfortable still referring to this band as "Maroon 5". Their songs have become really watered down and stripped from everything I liked about Songs About Jane. I've reached the conclusion that the band needs to break up so singer, Adam Levine can go solo and continue to go down this sell-out route himself. It's not like he NEEDS the name "Maroon 5" for recognition. For fuck's sake, he's the only guy anyone gives a shit about. And he's a judge on The Voice, so he's big enough of a celebrity on his own.

Maroon 5 today is basically an Adam Levine solo project. While I don't mind when "Moves Like Jagger" comes on the radio if by any chance I am even listening (it's actually pretty fuckin' catchy!), this isn't the Maroon 5 that I've been a fan of since elementary school- and am still a fan of to this date.
If you asked me what my favorite Maroon 5 song is, I would say "The Sun". The lyrics are wonderful, I like the tone, I like the beat, and I like whatever amp setting the guitar is played through. Unfortunately, we won't be hearing songs like that from them ever again unless they get their shit together. We'll just be stuck with songs like "Payphone" and "One More Night". Despite my feelings about what this band has done in recent years, nothing will affect my judgement of Songs About Jane, an album in consider to be a classic.
I miss early Maroon 5.
