Maroon 5 Relax in Monterrey
(Article loosely translated from Spanish)
The members of the group are enthralled with the beauty of the city, said drummer of the group Matt Flynn.
"In the 40 minutes that I've been awake I have been amazed by Monterrey, I haven't seen much but I think it's a beautiful place," said Flynn. "Yesterday we arrived late at the airport and preferred to sleep and rest, we have had almost no chance of seeing anything, I just woke up."
In the company of his manager and an assistant, the musician came down at 2pm for a coffee at the hotel where the band are staying.
With denim jeans, black shirt and sunglasses the artist managed to pass by unnoticed so he could enjoy chatting quietly with his team.
"The most important thing for us at this moment is the show, which is why we are saving our energy and sleeping a lot. We want our first concert in Mexico to go well."
Flynn revealed that he was excited because he has wanted to come to Mexico for a long time.
"We live close to Mexico but we've not managed to come here before; a lot of times we've tried to work in this country, but for one reason or another we didn't make the trip, so we're excited to finally be here."
The drummer said he was surprised by the presence of the press upon his arrival at Mariano Escobedo Airport.
"We imagined a little bit what might happen here, but I really did not know how we would be received."
The drummer also revealed that he was ready to vote in the upcoming elections in the United States.
"I'm voting for Obama. We hope and want a change."
Flynn spent two hours drinking coffee and then visited the Plaza Fiesta San Agustín shopping mall, before returning to the hotel.
Some members of Maroon 5 visited Chipinque National Park, while the rest preferred to stay in the comfort of their room to prepare for the show at the Monterrey Arena.
