Photos from Fun Facts About Maroon 5

In high school, the band was originally called Kara's Flowers before they became Maroon 5. The inspiration? They all had a crush on the same girl and her name was, you guessed it, Kara. At the time, the band members were Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick. Around the time guitarist James Valentine came into the group (in 2001), they changed the band name to Maroon 5.
