Maroon 5

[Ballet Gurl]

That was awesome! I think I missed you talking Holly but I watched it on the webcam and streamed it.. such cute boys.

*kisses tickets for the 11/22 show*

And Tricia in reply to page two.. yes I got to talk to all of them.. hopefully next show too!

[Holly]

he didnt put me on the air talking to them, lol, i guess my cold voice wasnt cool enough to be on the radio. but the whole think about getting hit by a truck was funny... he shoulda played that part.
after talking to them tonight and seeing how truly nice, funny, down to earth and sweet these guys are i love them 10x as much!

lmao... Adam said f*&^ a couple times, that part was hilarious

i can try to type out the transcript if i have time... but i didnt record some parts, so it may not all be there

[Holly]

(i'm going to do this in sections! and it may take me awhile to get all of it! exuse the grammer and spelling! lol)
(when i say M5 it's either all the members together or i'm not sure which member, cause i only know Adam's voice since he was basically the only one talking)

JoJo: dude, last night was the first night i ever saw your show and i had heard so much about you guys from like the last, probably, two years! i heard about you guys in an untraditional type way. Normally when i hear about a group its a record lable, or its a publicist, or its a manager, or somebody along those lines. ive been hearing about you guys from fans of your group. ive been hearing about other artists who have bumped into you or done shows with you or seen you guys play. and you guys have created this sort of a frenzy.

Adam: like which artists jojo? *laughter in background*
 
JJ: uh, well, me and micheal jackson where having this chat...

M5: (in MJ impression) hey JoJo!

JoJo: no actually one dude who comes to mind was, you know the group otown? Jacob, i guess he did some shows with you guys. or did he see you?

Adam: no, i think they just popped up as fans of the band.

JJ: that was about a year ago, maybe 2 years ago and i'm like 'alright lets check these dudes out' and one thing leads to another and here you guys are. what is it about you guys that has got the world in such a frenzy? i can only speak of LA, but whats the deal?

Adam: well, asides the fact that we're very good looking...

JJ: aside from the fact that these guys...

M5: *sings* cause they like my gansta walk... they like my gansta talk... yeah yeah dog! uh huh!

Adam: i, i dont know! whatever it is its wonderful cause people are really starting to dig the record. so thats really exciting!

JJ: is it crazy to be sort of underground for so long and all of a sudden its mtv and a sort of mass exposure as opposed the the grass roots kinda thing?

Adam: yeah we did the grass roots thing for quite awhile and now we just want to be a gigantic famous band so we're on MTV

JJ: and chicks dig your gansta walk dude?
*laughter*

Adam: we're all gansta basically

JJ: all right! get your calls in, we're gonna find out about these dudes in a couple of seconds. do it quick though because they're off to do another show at the HOB. this is like the 3rd night?

Adam: third night in a row!

JJ: totally sold out HOB! give them some love!

Adam: we cant talk about that man.

JJ: really?

Adam: we took a blood oath...

JJ: shut up

M5: in the conception of the band we said we will never talk about this under any circumstances. you could hold a gun to my head right now and i would tell you...

*sound of gunshot*
*laughter*

JJ: i knew that was coming! sorry... we had to kill Maroon5... they're all gone! alright, this track, harder to breath, is uh, can we talk about that or do i have to get the gun out again?

Adam: we actually took a blood oath

JJ: get the gun dude, get the gun

Adam: come on! shoot me! shoot me baby! shoot me!

*sound of gunshot again*

M5: get the gun! shoot! shoot!

JJ: now we're down to Maroon3 now! who's left?
*laughter*

Adam: yeah, we're all dead. um, well harder to breath... it's not that interesting of a story i guess, but it was just about, uh, it's not about Jane! which i'm glad you havent asked me about

JJ: naw, not gonna go there

Adam: i kinda inflict that on myself everytime, i know its coming

JJ: let me just put you in the misery... So, is it about Jane?
*laughter*

Adam: no, no, anyway, um, Harder to Breath is just about...

JJ: Jane.

Adam: is about Jane

JJ: Ok

Adam: thankyou!

JJ: no, go ahead

Adam: it's ok, i dont want to talk about it anymore...
*laughter*

JJ: oh come on dude! come on!

Adam: naw it's cool, i talk about it too much, let's just talk about your hair anyways
*sound of gunshot*

JJ: i have a toe fetish? what about that?

Adam: do you really?

JJ: yeah

Adam: i'm so not into feet

JJ: aw dude, your missing out dude!
*sound of throwing up*

Adam: well, i dont mind feet.

JJ: you like to have them on your...

Adam: i like feet, i like to use them

JJ: you like to walk

Adam: but i'm not obsessed about them, no

JJ: i'm starting to like these guys already. Maroon5, in the studio! alright is there anything i should say before i jump into harder to breath? from Maroon3 since we killed two of you already...

Adam: i want you to say what your thinking  deep down in the depths of your soul right now

JJ: i'm thinking i should of brought the booze in because i promised you guys vodka and red bull last time at the club
*sound of burping*
and i didnt do that, thats whats on my mind. i feel like i let you down...

Adam: you did actually, you let all of us down
*sound of awwwws from  the audience*
i'll tell you what, can we dedicate this song to some of our LA band friends?

JJ: you certainly can

M5: this one goes out to Phantom Planet, Rilo Kyli, The Like, Rooney, Big City Rock

PART 3
lol... does anyone care that i'm doing this or want me to contunue? i thought it was a cool interview... so i wanted to share, but its a lot of work

JJ: Yo, ladies and gentlemen, in the studio, Maroon5!!

M5: yeah yeah yeah!

Adam: thank you very much everyone, thankyou

JJ: Maroon5 is known for their fans and I guess we need to talk to some of the fans because Maroon5 loves their fans

Adam: yes we do, well said

JJ: or some crazy crap like that.. hey uh, Allison! are you there?

Allison: omg i love you guys so much i can't even explain

Adam: explain, please explain

Allison's sister: i'm one of your number 1 fans!

M5: wow

Allison: that's my sister!

JJ: can you explain?

Adam: if you love us so much you have to explain!

Allison: I *laughs* you guys are seriously awesome! my sister told me about you guys and i listened you your songs and i listen to your cd every single day since i heard of you guys. i went to your concert, i went to John Mayer's concert for you guys on July 18th at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. You guys are SO awesome!

Adam: good answer! good answer!

M5: very detailed!

Adam: thankyou sooo much! you absolutely pass with flying colors! thankyou!

Allison: thankyou!

JJ: for some people who...

Allison's sister: you guys are the greatest!!!

JJ: what the?! for some people who have just been exposed to you for the first time... how long have you guys been together?

Adam: we've been playing music together for almost 10 years, since we were 15 years old and James joined about 3 years ago and it hasnt been the same since... but in a good way!
*laughter*

JJ: i got it! now when you guys first started off, were you like awesome from the very beginning? or did you guys just suck at the very beginning?

Adam: we were awesome from the very beginning!

JJ: right on!

Adam: from the first note it was gold!

JJ: at what point did you guys realise that this is really going to go places and that it's not just a hobby? that was like...

M5: yesterday
*laughter*

Adam: yeah, really its a good questions because i think that we definatly struggled for a long time and didnt know what the hell was gonna happen. is hell ok? i'm sorry

JJ: no, it's all good

Adam: and...

JJ: you've said worse

Adam: o, ok, like fuck?
*laughter and oooooo's*

JJ: oh! oh! oh! oh!

***kiis fm would like to apologogize, JoJo has f*cked up again, please stand by *music*. we apologize for this inconvinience, and now, JoJo on the radio***

JJ: Maroon5 ya'll! Maroon5!
*cheering*

Adam: i promise i won't curse anymore! are we done?

JJ: no, we're cool! we're still rolling

Adam: i'm really sorry! but can i just talk about curse words for one more second?

JJ: yeah, go ahead

Adam: i'm sorry that i said that and i wont say it again so you dont have to be nervous.

JJ: i'm all good!

Adam: but, uh,

JJ: is the sweat drippin off my forehead?

Adam: everyone's heard the word, you know what i mean?

JJ: i dont understand why the big hesitation about certain words on the radio, because yeah, everyones heard everything

Adam: you know that word! and if you say it... it better not be... if its used in the wrong way it can be very offensive

JJ: but if its used in a certain way it's like... whatever!

M5: whatever, i mean it's just a word! ya know?

M5: especially radio edits of songs, does anybody not know whats being said when it's cut out?

Adam: i dont know!

JJ: i dont know... thats a good point, it's like everything is *makes sound*...
*sound of fog horn*
ouch! or even that thing right there...

M5: it depends how you were raised

JJ: what have we not talked about or learned about Maroon5 so far today? our brief visit.

Adam: we were telling the story... but i forgot where we left off

JJ: oh yeah! you guys started off...

Producer Tony: before he said the F word!

JJ: before you said the F word... how did you know when it was like from a hobby and turned into the real deal and that something big is gonna happen?

Adam: o! i remember that! ok, i was in the middle of answering that. i think that we struggled for a long time and honestly, i would say, when we started the write these songs we started to get the feeling that maybe this could be a big deal. personally, i think over the last couple months we've been so surprised with everything happening so quickly. well it seemed like alot really quickly but it was actually over the last couple years and i think that we're really, genually shocked about whats going on right now. and i think very recently, probably within the past few months, maybe?

M5: thats right!

Adam: and we are just so grateful and so happy. on a sincere note! i know we've been kind of... been a bit fresh with you

JJ: naw, i'm getting kinda a funky, crazy, like your getting down the business kinda vibe here! last night on stage, like when i go to your show, i'm watching you guys, this is the first time i've seen you and i'm watching the audience as well. and a large portion, atleast the ones i see, that my eyes kinda went to, the chicks were flashing up shirts... you know!

M5: that sounds worse then it is

JJ: they knew every word of your song, like all of them! and the cd is, well i guess some of them have had it for a long time, but for the mass public, somewhat of a new band.

Adam: Well the cool... thats the cool thing is that what the past couple years have done for us, we've made real fans out of people who love the music and sing every word to every song on the record. i think that alot of bands miss that, cause of the way that things work. i dont wanna bore you with industry talk
*laughter*
um,. but you know what i mean, i just think it's great that we have real fans that are with us the whole time. it's very emotional, its really great

JJ: do you really like my hair or not?

Adam: i genually love your hair!

JJ: is the toe fettish thing...

Adam: the toe fettish thing is a little creepy actually...

JJ: really?

Adam: but i love you!

JJ: i love you dude

Adam: you know you got to love the crust of a person!
*laughter*

JJ: i love this guy! you guys swear right now your going to come back soon, alright?

M5: i dont swear...
*laughter*

JJ: dont swear! alright! Maroon5 live on kiis fm ya'll!
*cheering*

[tricia]

Adam cusses alot

[Holly]

JJ: Maroon5 ya'll!
*cheering*

M5: my fellow americans... (in a presidential voice)

JJ: alright, how did your first interview on kiis fm go? did i do good for you guys or not?

Adam: can i give you another sincere note?

JJ: go ahead dude!

Adam: i think this was the coolest, most fun time, we've ever had doing any radio interview ever!

*accomplished trumpet sound*

JJ: whoa! theres weird sounds... are some interviews... i'm curious about this, are some interviews when you go to different station, not comparing other LA stations, i dont wanna get in that trouble, but around the country, is it weird expiriences and all? or what happened?

Adam: bizare! so weird! i mean alot of them are really good. i think that theres a couple things, the elements all need to be there. first, we like you, which is great!

M5: good hair!
*laughter*

JJ: ok

Adam: and second of all... its not 6 in the morning, we usually have early stuff, and thats kind of akward and we're kind of disheveled and all nasty and it's kind of weird and i feel like everyones kinda punching the clock a bit more, but you just seem like your genually enthusiastic about doing this, so thats cool! and uh...

JJ: right on

Adam: and also we have these amazing people here with us! so...
*cheers from instudio audience*
and uh, we're just genually in good spirits because the HOB shows have been so amazing. we're all just kind of...

JJ: tell you what, if you guys havent seen them in concert you're missing out! whens the next time after, i know tonights sold out, after tonights show at the HOB whens the next time your playing in Southern Cali?

Adam: god... probably not for a little while...

M5: anaheim!

Adam: anaheim! well yeah, anaheim and then we're playing... anaheim and then i think, i dont know if it's confirmed yet we're gonna do the wiltern around december, around christmas, with the counting crows

JJ: you guys, you have to come back here and hang out, i swear!

Adam: o! absolutely!

*cheering*

Maroon5: NO WAY!!!

JJ: dude!!

THE END OF THE INTERVIEW!!!!  

[Holly]

lol, i just wanna say something....

the great thing about jojo is that he is unlike other DJs... he just totally has this crazy relaxed feel when he interviews people rather than this rigid "you have to answer these questions now!!" kinda thing. jojo's interviews are fun and i think thats why artists (even Vanessa!) love being interviewed by him and become friends with him! it may seem a bit silly to those of you who dont listen to him, but i love his style! very entertaining to listen to... you never know whats going to happen!!

and the kiis knome... that is a great honor! i love that lil knome! i have seen that thing on the kiis cam so many times! it is well known to kiis fans and i have seen it and played around with it everytime i've gone down there for a jojo instudio or to hang out with Todd ( i miss those days!) i'm gonna miss the knome! but it has a good home now with the Maroon 5 dudes! lol, and the bracelet!

[musicalness]

hey =)

do you know where I can find a site with sound clips?

their official site doesnt seem to have much

[eclv]

those of you hugging your tickets how much were they?

cause I just looked up the HOB Orlando show and they are $7 plus like 4.65 for all the charges, but serious $7, that is crazy cheap...  not that I mind or anything.
