Maroon 5 inspired by 80s rockers Journey

Washington - Maroon 5 has revealed that they want to chart the career path of the American rock band Journey. The ‘Payphone’ band want to be like the 80s rockers, who’s track ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ was a minor hit when originally released in 1981, but a huge worldwide hit when it was re-released in 2008 after being used in TV shows. “We’re counting on the cultural feedback loop to pull a Journey on us. Journey wasn’t cool,” Contactmusic quoted Adam Levine as telling Details magazine. “Now I can’t go out one night without somebody screaming the words to that song. That’s what we’re banking on. We’ll play Coachella festival in 15 years,” he said. The 33-year-old singer is aware that many people don’t perceive his band as cool, or groundbreaking, but they have their own sound, which is different to other bands. “Everybody wanted to be the Strokes, and I wanted to sound like Michael Jackson and write pop songs.
