Maroon 5 at Global Green USA Pre-Oscar Celebration to Benefit Global Warming held at Avalon. Hollywood, California - 21.02.07

While some bands' lead singers may be in charge, Levine insists life in Maroon 5 in an equal partnership and his wishes are not always fulfilled.

He says, "If I had things my way, we'd have a smaller drum kit and (guitarist) James (Valentine) would have only one effects pedal.

"But it's not a solo project. It's a band.

"There are tensions and differences, just as with any band."
