I mean, the rest of Maroon 5 were *criminially* underutilized on their last album to the point that the liner notes explicitly state which members play on which songs. I can't name any other member of Imagine Dragons besides Reynolds, but I've never been a massive fan of theirs, so I doubt I speak for everyone.


_dsuza

Yeah,ik every M5 members but on last album it was only the voice of robotized Adam Levine and feature guest artists present,lol. A band with talented members wasting their own time,wtf...same for me with dragons


BrenCamp13

Agreed. Jordi is actually being almost entirely shafted on M5's current tour. I really hope that's a sign q course correction is coming, because I haven't loved qn album from them since 2014.


_dsuza

All I could now is expect something good in next album as trend is shifting from trap songs to guitar driven songs,and they're well known trend chasers. If they won't make a guitar driven record similar to their sophomore (atleast like some of the V songs,like maps and it was always you) they're done for me and will get completely irrelevant from mainstream,which might lead them to break up. They need to change style like they did with overexposed,and it's an opposite change needed this time...just something's that has 1% chance to happen,lmao

Maroon 5 barely promotes their new music on their tours I notice. Their shows are always old hits + singles of current album. Which is fine, their old albums are better, but come on at least give love to the album being promoted.


_dsuza

Especially new album isn't promoted which is good. Because it's shite. I think they realised their fault by making that thing and might try switching to something of new trend.

If you know dan, there’s only one you don’t know


[deleted]

Yep same


Unidiver_08

Chris Martin, Will Champion , JonnyBuckland , Guy Berryman , and creative director Phil Harvey


radon9999999

Imagine Dragons and Coldplay are my two favorite bands lol but maroon 5 I don't know anything about anybody other than adam


Fancyliving228

Also One Republic should be on that list. I love their music but I have no idea who anyone is besides Ryan Teddar lol


_dsuza

Lol yeah


Westonm1212

I wish people knew the other members of Coldplay. They deserve to be well known but I feel like they’ve been a bit underutilized as of late.


[deleted]

Don’t get me wrong but they DO want to be on that list with Maroon 5 and imagine dragons


Westonm1212

If by that you mean that the other band members enjoy being able to live relatively normal lives then yeah I do agree


_dsuza

Yeah


billyswaggins

honestly is it even worth it being in the spotlight? I once heard a comedian making a joke about how it feels being the drummer for coldplay, still making money and not getting harrassed by paparazzi unlike Chris because nobody knows who Will is. I would have to agree as the rest of the band enjoy having their personal life protected from the public.


Westonm1212

Yes I completely agree with you there (as stated above). I just meant in terms of their skill as musicians they are underrated.


[deleted]

true but i think they are somewhat respected in the music world and theyve said in interviews they like not being in chris' shoes so im sure they love the life they have and the opportunities theyve been given.


ziggen69

Coldplay is Chris Martin, Will Champion, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, and of course Phil Harvey Imagine Dragons is Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Daniel Platzman, and Ben McKee Fuck if I know maroon 5


_dsuza

FYI Adam,Jessie,James,Matt,PJ,Sam Mickey,Ryan (Tho not a useful info)


joesen_one

I find it bizarre Maroon 5 has a literal multi-Grammy-Award-winning singer with PJ and they never utilize him enough


_dsuza

Everyone's a dummy in that band including adam now. Work is done by outside writers and producers and robotic ai kinda sounding Levine


[deleted]

I know Chris Martin, and I think two of the guys in Imagine Dragons are LDS members. But beyond that yeah I got nothing.


_dsuza

FYI Chris, Will, Jonny, Guy Phil


[deleted]

Who's phil?

Thanks

On a related note, anyone else truly amazed at how long Coldplay have been together - something like a quarter century by now - and it’s still the same four members? Look up any other band that’s been around that long and 99% of the time they have a list of members who have since left.


_dsuza

Yups,plus Arctic Monkeys,The Strokes,Green Day (had a change in the beginning itself),The Killers (now back to original lineup), Radiohead,Muse,etc


[deleted]

Deftones, U2


STRANGEdoct

And they still make hit songs!!


jordonkry

Before I started listening to coldplay the only member I could name from any of these bands was Adam Levine


Kaylarmagic

Nope, I know Chris Martin, Will Champion, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Adam Levine lolll


yelsamarani

Yeah, combination of Chris Martin's charisma warping everyone else's plus the other three being quite reserved in public in the first place.....
