“Fame never came
quickly to us, we banged
on doors and dropped
demo’s to everyone we
knew. There’s just a
little irony to the
name - that’s
intentional...”
Jared Leto, Shannon Leto
and Tomo Milicevic formed
30 seconds to mars in
LA,California in 1998 the
bands first single didn’t break
into the charts until 2002 the
single itself received some
criticism and did not do well
commercially.
In a quote to fans Jared said
“Fame never came quickly
to us, we banged on doors
and dropped demo’s to
everyone we knew.There’s
just a little irony to the
name - that’s intentional...”.
30 seconds to mars did
not become worldly
recognized until 2005 with
their record a beautiful lie
which received multiple
certifications globally from
this the band has slowly
gained more fans putting
them in one of the top
spots in their industry.
30 seconds to mars
are well known for their
festival acts and stage
performances, and fusing
a wide variety of music
genres to create their
own unique sound. The
bands live energy has been
compared to the energy of
acts such as Pink Floyed,
The cure, Tool and U2
thus attracting a wide
audience, the band is also
a big hit within teenage
culture from their spiritual
and philosophical lyrics.
The band got its name
from a rare manuscript
that had caught Shannons
attention, the reason
Shannon gave for the name
was “that the fact that
we’re so close to something
however yet so physically
so far away” Shannon
related this to the bands
aim in for the spot within
the music industry.
The band has had fame
before their time in the
music industry with
Jared Leto starring as a
Hollywood actor in a
series of films, however the
band did not let this throw
them into the spotlight
and gained success on the
strength of their music.
Jared wrote the majority
of the songs, and the band
started playing small gigs at
various pubs and clubs in
California.This later led to
the band being scouted by
Immortal records, shortly
after this in 1999 virgin
records entered into the
deal giving 30 seconds to
mars the big break they
craved.
On entering the studio it’s easy to see why 30 seconds to mars have made
it so big within their industry, with their presence in the room and their look
it’s clear to see why they are the biggest selling band in their industry. -
