The unstoppable rise of a band that proves that it pays to follow your dreams – no matter what happens.
After four nominations, including for BEST ROCK VIDEO, VIDEO OF THE YEAR, BEST ART DIRECTION BEST DIRECTION for their short film “THE RIDE”, better known as the music video for first single “KINGS AND QUEENS” from their current, third album “THIS IS WAR, “THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS were on 12th September just been awarded the coveted MTV Moonman for Best Rock Video at the MTV VMA’s 2010 in Los Angeles and was honored to win against such strong competition as MUSE, PARAMORE and FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE.
But that’s not enough on Monday, because on 20 September 2010 they earned nominations for this year’s EMA’s, the EUROPEAN MUSIC AWARDS, shine the musician from the land of opportunity right back with three more nominations, such as: BEST VIDEO for “KINGS AND QUEENS” BEST ROCK and BEST WORLD STAGE LIVE PERFORMANCE.
All these nominations owes this grandiose, American band, with a strong taste for Europe, their growing family of friends and fans, and the Echelon and Mars Army worldwide, Miraculously, are simply not tired, their fingers vote too bloody for your favorite band .
So it is probably also this time again to be a fast-paced head-to-head race for the coveted EMA’s and we can only wonder whether 30 SECONDS TO MARS will conquer Europe again in one place at the top of the music Olympus.
want to, it would be them, because hardly any other rock band had been the brothers Jared and Shannon Leto, the band long before the signing of the record deal in 1998 founded with Virgin Records, now EMI Virgin Records, struggling with similar adversity in the music business.
Starting with the fact that they to Begin its ‘official’ career as a musician, in the countless radio stations in their homeland, more than once the door was slammed in their face because hardly anybody had believed that could be the project THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS more , as the hobby of another, of a bored Hollywood actor, the public, especially the media, in the case of Jared Leto, all too happy to put in the drawer talented pretty boy.
Through perseverance and managed THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS excessive touring it to develop gradually after the first modest successes and hard to capture a fan base, which is probably just as unique in the world, as the band itself with the unusual name
That name, who, as frontman, singer, guitarist and songwriter Jared Leto likes to emphasize again and again in interviews, more questions than answers and thus represents the image of the band perfectly.
After various personnel changes, the band formed in 2007 with lead guitarist and keyboardist Tomo Milicevic to a trio, which is on the current INTO THE WILD TOUR official tour with bassist Tim Kelleher and Braxton Olita added on keyboards.
Since the release of the album A BEAUTIFUL LIE “THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS been almost 500 shows played throughout the world, including festivals such as Lollapalooza in the U.S., Pinkpop in the Netherlands, Download and Give It a Name in the UK, the Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park festivals in Germany and at the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan, to name only a few known variables.
Fortunately for all fans of the band were Jared and Shannon (drums), the music together since their childhood to follow from nothing and no one discouraged their dreams, not even the insane $ 30,000,000 claim their record label in 2008.
They did what they were doing more, they fought together with Tomo, took the third album on their own in their own studio, without knowing whether and how they might publish ever. They moved to say so in the war and they won it, right down the line, as the unexpected success of the album “THIS IS WAR” and in almost every country in the world sold-out concerts proves its current INTO THE WILD RIDE.
Meanwhile, even the harshest critics would not have been unaware that the rise of THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS, can stop.
Both appeared in 2002 debut album, the self titled album, which originally should actually “Welcome To The Universe hot” and the 2005 released, second studio album, A BEAUTIFUL LIE, “and her third, in December 2009 published and most successful album” THIS IS WAR brought “THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS so far not only hits like” CAPRICORN “,” ATTACK “,” THE KILL “,” FROM YESTERDAY “,” A BEAUTIFUL LIE “,” KINGS AND QUEENS “,” THIS IS WAR “and “CLOSER TO THE EDGE” one, but at last, both by various fellow musicians, and the trade media, the well-deserved recognition as a serious rock band.
One rock band ever again by making spectacular videos attention to itself, which if it is considered much more accurate than ordinary music videos.
THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS understand it, than almost any other band, their songs visually set in an almost cinematic way in scene, so the results more short films with soundtracks same as vile video clips.
They range from colorful and visually stunning film “FROM YESTERDAY” which was filmed in the Forbidden City, the People’s Republic of China on the ‘deliberately in black-and-white, film “THE KILL”, a homage to the very talented director Bartholomew Cubbin to The Shinning, on in its simplicity breathtakingly beautiful film “A BEAUTIFUL LIE,” the 200 miles to the north of the Arctic Circle, turned and remembered as a love letter to her hometown of Los Angeles short film “THE RIDE” to “KINGS AND QUEENS “to the current live-concert movie” CLOSER TO THE EDGE “THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS with not only themselves but also their global fan family have set a visual memorial.
It is not surprising that this band is captured piece by piece, the enthusiasm of the world, for they have a unique concept that clearly captures the spirit of the times.
They consciously seek contact and exchange with other people around the world who are willing to engage in it and have no fear of contact, when it comes to the individual band members via Twitter to communicate in person.
Specific actions are characterized the relationship of the band from their audience, such as “THE SUMMIT”, a gigantic audio experiment, which was originally planned as a unique event in Los Angeles to the audience as a kind of live instrument for the then still use in the development phase located new album “THIS IS WAR”.
Surprised by the success of the experiment, THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS, the action set in the “Global Summit” in eight countries worldwide (Australia, Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Japan, Canada and Mexico) and the subsequent on-line versions, the “Digital Summit” on.
The result flowed completely into the album “THIS IS WAR,” heard in the live choirs of tens of thousands members of the Mars family.
It was followed by the “FACES OF MARS” action, which called for the band to thumbnail pictures to send to them, of which adorn the cover of the latest 2000 album “THIS IS WAR”. Meanwhile, there was also a continuation of this action, the result will then be seen on the Deluxe Edition.
Visible evidence for the growing success of the band, in addition to the ever-increasing sales, including the now numerous, won awards, such as two MTV Video Music Awards (2006 for “THE KILL” and up to date in 2010 for “KINGS AND QUEENS”), three MTV EMA’s MTV Latin, Asia and Australia Awards, a Fuse Award, and now KERRANG four! Awards.
Moreover in the U.S. platinum status for album “A BEAUTIFUL LIE,” which, as has just been confirmed by EMI Germany, has achieved together with the current album “THIS IS WAR” now also in Germany gold status.
Congratulations to actually equal to two gold records in Germany, Jared, Shannon and Tomo!
You have earned more than the success, for they have truly worked hard to him, over twelve years in which nothing was paid to them. It was a long and hard way – a fight, how would the members of the band themselves call it probably, though many a one who discovered the band just for himself, falsely assumes that the musicians had just started their career, and so to say overnight success.
But far from it, for 30 SECONDS TO MARS has never been a band of fast success. Their rise was not meteoric overnight, but more slowly, piece by piece, over a period of twelve years.
With their show since the beginning, continuously growing success THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS all those who predicted failure or failure of them have the opposite. This band and most of all its members, Jared, Shannon and Tomo thus show us all that one should follow his dreams, come what may.
These three passionate musician who exemplified us to never give up, no matter what may lay a stone in the life of the road. You have shown us that everything with an idea, a dream begins, and that can make something very great things. If we are only brave enough to follow our dreams and never give up.
Must hope that the wonderful dream that dream, the brothers Jared and Shannon Leto once and her friend and colleague Tomo Milièeviæ now for a long time with them, dreams are for her not to turn into a nightmare in this shark tank that the music business calls.
A highly competitive market in which, unfortunately, the record companies today are increasingly interested in the artistic development of their music than on the amount of money they can do with the artists under contract with them.
Unfortunately, this leads more often to ensure that successful bands and solo artists burned really by their record companies will, in which the tour schedules of the musicians hardly any room for those on long and arduous world tours, in between can be a much-needed regeneration, because mercy date dotted with date, regardless of the artist, whose health is driven by over-exploitation in this way.
So it would be more desirable if it were to take place in the top echelons of the record companies finally a rethink. If would be built in future not only of all short-term, commercial success as possible, stay with the people at issue actually, that the artists, both creative and health on the line, because they are simply burned out at some point.
It does not have any success shaft totgeritten nauseam.
Sometimes less is more – the same goes for the music business!
Since the moment but not the trendy slogan of the hour, THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS, the fans will be the world feat only once on the next single “HURRICANE” in the version. Kayne West looking forward to it will be according to statements by front man Jared Leto again a video.
Assuming that also in this film of the brilliant band’s own to take back the director Bartholomew Cubbin is directed, we may be curious about what he will come up for this short film with soundtrack.
However, each of both the band and the way the director is familiar with some grandiose, already guessed, no, know that the latest cinematic work of art will be back in a different way from the house of Mars than anyone expects.
I personally am opposed, therefore, already quite relaxed and confident in Bartholomew Cubbin back with a smile, knowing that he is the world through this film once again surprise in particular.
However, before that, the fans even more reason to rejoice, because in Great Britain on 25 to October as new single “SEARCH AND DESTROY published.
THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS also bring in November, a deluxe edition of their latest successful album “THIS IS WAR out.
This edition includes, besides the already well-known titles, in addition, the version of “HURRICANE” feat. Kayne West, as well as interpretations of Lady Gaga’s “BAD ROMANCE” and Kayne West’s “STRONGER” which were originally recorded for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in London.
As a little side note is worth mentioning that “STRONGER” was selected in December 2009 by the listeners from more than 500 Live Lounge sessions for BBC Radio1 even Ultimate Live Lounge Cover ranked first
Additionally, the Deluxe Edition DVD, with videos for “KINGS AND QUEENS” and “CLOSER TO THE EDGE” and exclusive behind the scenes footage.
An absolute must, then, THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS for each fan, which will surely find its way on many a Christmas list this year.
Furthermore, Jared Leto have announced plans to bring out the film to the already released single “THIS IS WAR,” ended as soon as he and Bartholomew Cubbin the cut and costly rework.
The postponement of publication of this film was necessary, because the band, led by Jared Leto was not pleased with what has been wacky film material for which an exception was once one other director been employed, as the usually always is exclusively responsible Bartholomew Cubbin.
Let us hope that Mr. Cubbin, despite this small transgression, and as well disposed to receive the band director also remains for future projects.
Especially under the aspect that he in his acceptance speech for the MTV VMA Moonman from apparently totally surprised and agitated frontman Jared Leto has been completely forgotten, so between them, according to Jared’s own tweet currently radio silence reigns, because Mr. Cubbin is still angry about it.
But who knows, maybe Mr. Cubbin can be so calm with a nice apology and a big dose of hot chocolate again, and then jointly, with Jared Leto, the final finishing touches on the documentary “ARTIFACT” continue to accompany the band during the genesis of the album “THIS IS WAR has filmed and hopefully celebrate a standing ovation at its premiere next January on which, once established by Robert Redford, Sundance Film Festival in beautiful Park City, Utah.
Currently it goes for THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS and us fans but once more with the INTO THE WILD TOUR, which the band in the period ending 18 December he returned to the U.S. from Canada, South Africa, for a more nearly sold-out arena tour to England and from there to Italy, Russia, Ukraine, then on to Portugal, Spain and for its first exclusive and completely sold-out arena show on 6 lead Germany in December in which King Pilsner Arena in Oberhausen is.
Next year will be in February and March, the first dates in Australia on the tour schedule the band and it would surprise hardly, if more are added, as Jared, Shannon and Tomo love getting their own information on tours, and you still felt new album “THIS IS WAR” with as many people as possible to share.
I can anyone who has not yet had the pleasure of this great live band once in their element, recommend live on stage, only to be experienced, if the opportunity offers not hesitate, but just once admit, on a breathtaking journey to MARS universe. It is certainly an experience worth it. I promise!
My special thanks go to the team at EMI Germany for easy collaboration
