Greg Rose from Virgin Music sat down with 30 Seconds To Mars to find out about life on mars, living (or not) in Brazil, and helping their fans give birth. Read on to find out everything Jared Leto and co had to say.

Jared Leto: You have to say action

Greg Rose: Action

JL: Felt good didn’t it

GR: So good. So you've just got back into London. You played here a while ago, what's it like to be back?

JL: It's like coming full circle, the old auro borus. We not only played London but Nottingham, Manchester, Bournemouth, Cardiff.

Shannon Leto: It's weird you saying 'a while ago', because it feels like a week, but it's been a month.

GR: What is your favourite place to play?

JL: We've been to pretty amazing places. We went to St Petersburg, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Paris, Italy, Germany. It was the best run of shows we've ever done. They were the most fun, it was out of control, it was great. But it's nice to come back to London at the end, it puts some closure on the European leg.

GR: When you're away from Europe, are you conscious of how big 30 Seconds To Mars are over here?

JL: No, not at all. You play these shows and suddenly you think 'there's a lot of people in front of us at Wembley Arena right now!' It's definitely humbling. We're really grateful for it, it's incredible. We never thought in a million years that we would be able to come to the UK and tour like this. We never thought we could do this, so we're pretty happy.

GR: You guys all live in LA now…

30 Seconds To Mars Interview (for Maximum Ink Music Magazine)

By Jenn Dohner My first introduction to 30 Seconds to Mars, was in 2005 when they opened for Audioslave in Seattle. Had no clue who they were, or the fact that the front man was an established actor. My first reaction was, "Who the hell is this band? They're ripping it up!!". During the intermission , the band signed stuff for their existing fans as well as the newly acquired ones. Every person in line was given their turn. Every last one. I was impressed.

Biography

Created in 1998 in Los Angeles, California, United States by Jared Leto and his brother, Shannon, 30 Seconds to Mars initially began as a small family project. Matt Wachter later joined the band as bassist and keyboard player. After working with a number of guitarists (including Kevin Drake and Solon Bixler), the three auditioned Tomo Miličević to round out the band’s official roster. After Wachter’s departure from the band in 2006, the Leto brothers and Miličević continue on as a trio with additional touring members, including Tim Kelleher on bass.


The band have released three albums.
