问: 当今美国最红的摇滚乐团是哪个?
答: Linkin Park 联合公园 错!
应该是Maroon 5 魔力红乐队!!!!!!!!
可能很多人都没有听过Maroon 5这支乐队,因为目前他们的专辑没有在大陆地区引进;可能有很多人没有听过Maroon 5这支乐队,因为他们不是Linkin Park那种一出来就有卖点的热门乐队.但是就是这么一支乐队让大陆无数地下摇滚乐手和摇滚乐迷啧啧称赞并翘首期盼,到底是什么原因让他们如此受宠呢?
他们的中文名字叫魔力红乐队,我个人更愿意叫他们Superb Maroon 5(超级魔力红乐队). 因为他们的第一张专辑Songs About Jane 珍.情歌在制作和概念上的确可以称得上无懈可击,他们的超完美表现使得我一次又一次地为他们的音乐而感到折服,他们的风格定位飘忽,任何曲风在他们专辑的曲目中都有体现,这张专辑也是我觉得今年最好的一张摇滚专辑,并且居然出版了三个不同版本.

乐队英文Bio自传:
Sometimes Plan B can put Plan A to shame. Singer/guitarist Adam Levine, guitarist Jesse Carmichael, bass player Mickey Madden and drummer Ryan Dusick would second that emotion, seeing as how their first shot at the big time got them some rave notices, but not much else. Now, their second shot, in the form of neo-soul rock outfit Maroon 5, thanks to 2 songs, arder To Breathe?and his Love?has the LA-based Maroon 5 looking like the Cinderella story for 2004.
Released as a single way back in the summer of 2002, seventeen months later arder To Breathe?hit #4 at top 40 radio. Over 500 live shows, including opening stints for John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Train, and Counting Crows, and now a consistent headline act in its own right, has helped to underscore a list of reasons why Maroon 5 debut CD, Songs About Jane, had already sold more than 1,900,000 records and gotten the guys on the Tonight Show twice, The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly and the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. The next single, his Love?was #1 at top 40, VH1 and MTV, simultaneously! It was also the first song ever to be certified as a platinum download.
But perhaps wee getting ahead of ourselves. What about Plan A?
Known as Kara Flowers, Levine, Carmichael and Madden were the toast of their West LA high school (Dusick, who known Levine since they were nine and seven, respectively, had already graduated). Here they were, 17 years old and making a CD with legendary producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, Michelle Branch). Life was grand.
This is where the good news ends. Following a disappointing run with their debut, The Fourth World, Kara Flowers were granted their release from the label. Plan A had gone awry, leaving the quartet to consider their future. e were like, kay, what do we do now??recalls Levine. o we ran away to college to figure it out.? Leaving Dusick and Madden behind to study at UCLA, Levine and Carmichael ran smack dab into Plan B in the dorms at the State University of New York.
he halls would be blasting Gospel music and people would be listening to stuff that we never actually listened to, like Biggie Smalls, Missy Elliot and Jay-Z. The Aaliyah record had come out around then, and we were just blown away. When I think of songwriting, I think of The Beatles, Dylan, Simon & Garfunkelhe stuff that I grew up onut then I was like, want to do this.? Stevie Wonder came into my life at that point,?Levine mentions, nd I just found a knack for doing it.
started singing differently,?he told VH1, nd Jesse started playing keyboards; that what changed it.? When the duo hooked back up with Madden and Dusick in LA they were summarily reinvigorated by adding an R&B, groove-based tint to their explosive rock & roll. With the new musical frame-of-mind came a new name?B>Maroon 5nd a fifth member: guitarist James Valentine. ames came along right as we were deciding on the name,?says Levine. e clearly weren Kara Flowers anymore, with the addition of James and an entirely new approach to music. Also, if you name a band when youe 15, by the time youe 23 youe probably not gonna like it very much.?
Fortified with a new attitude, a new sound and a new name, Maroon 5 quickly attracted attention from labels. Octone Records, a new independent label based in New York (Octone is a marketing co-venture partner of J Records / RCA Music Group), signed the group, and in 2001 Maroon 5 entered the studio with producer Matt Wallace (The Replacements, Faith No More, Blues Traveler). was all about making a hardcore, straight-up, funk R&B record,?Levine remembers. have to give the people at Octone credit because they were really trying to push us to do this. Matt Wallace also thought we had so much chemistry as a rock & roll band that it would be a shame to lose that element. We went back and recorded live drums over loops, and wound up making more of a rock record, which I think makes it stand out way better.?
The resulting album, Songs About Jane, was released in June 2002. Funky rhythms and classic soul melodies co-habiting with searing guitars and a powerful rock bottom end. On top of it all, Levine expressive voice belts out tale after tale of an ex-girlfriend. You can probably guess her name.
arder To Breathe,?a powerhouse guitar workout, is ironically not a song about Jane. here was a lot of pressure to write,?Levine offers. just want to make music when I feel like making music, and when I feel forced it kind of frustrating. Granted, I don have much to complain about, but I thought that I was done with the album. It turned out to be for the best because it pissed me off so much I wrote his Love?and arder To Breathe,?which are the first two songs on the record.?
Plan B? Who says you don get a second chance to make a first impression?
