FACE THE MUSIC: Virgin/EMI group Thirty Seconds to Mars is taking the concept of micro-marketing to a new level with the cover of their upcoming album, This Is War,
which comes out Dec. 8. The first run of the disc will be a limited
edition run featuring the faces sent in by fans selected in an on-line
“Faces of Mars” contest for the top 2,000 entries. There are also a
number of celebs and industry ringers in the batch, including Irving Azoff and Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta as well as label execs Ron Werre, Greg Thompson, Angelica Cob-Baehler, Colin Finklestein and Bob Semanovich. Which means fans have to actually go into record stores to see if their album cover is being carried. Ingenious, right? (12/4p)

MARS LANDING IN U.K.: Virgin/EMI group Thirty Seconds to Mars score a rare U.K. hat trick for the band’s new album, This Is War, which comes out Dec. 8. The release hit the #1 pre-order spot this week at the country’s three main online retailers, Amazon, Play and HMV. That’s the first time the feat’s been accomplished over the pond since Florence + the Machine did it last June. (12/4a)

30 Seconds To Mars Waging A New Kind of War words by: Kristie Bertucci

It’s been a long four years for 30 Seconds to Mars fans, but their yearning for some new tunes is finally over with the release of the bands third studio album, This Is War. During their absence in the music world, the band and their surroundings changed quite a bit. “A new president, being sued for $30 million, personal challenges, an economic fallout…all that contributed a great deal to the outcome of the album,” drummer Shannon Leto explains. “It’s really all of our experiences that contributed to making of the album—good and bad. If we didn’t go though those things, we wouldn’t have the album we made today.” The biggest tribulation the band faced throughout that time was their lawsuit with Virgin Records, in which the label filed a $30 million lawsuit, claiming the band refused to deliver three albums as required by its contract back in August 2008. “It was a pain in the ass,” Shannon describes. “My brother dealt with it much more closely, but for me personally, it was painful. It didn’t really hinder the recoding process, but I think it would be a different sounding album if we didn’t go through the experience. The lawsuit was later annulled in April of this year, which allowed the band to fully focus on their This Is War. Working with producers like Flood (who’ve produced for the likes of U2, Depeche Mode, and Nine Inch nails) and Steve Lillywhite, 30STM have really evolved with this new album, allowing fans to get a deeper understanding of who the band is. Best described by Shannon as “raw,” the album’s first single “Kings and Queens” really sets the tone for the rest of the album with its tidal wave of woah vocals, galloping strings and a chorus that will shake you to the core. “We wanted to greatly express the raw, honest feelings we’ve had and share them with fans,” Shannon says. “We wanted to capture just the brutal truth and I think we accomplished that by encapsulating our everyday lives.” The album is so honest that the guys used literally shared the world around them in various songs. In one song, the sound of someone washing dishes can be heard, while another one features the sound of a hawk that really lived above Shannon’s house. To get even more personal, they mobilized their fan community at the Avalon Club back in April so they’d be featured on the album. The devoted fans, which are known as The Echelon, showed up in the hundreds for an impromptu recording session dubbed “The Summit.” Fans had the chance to contribute vocals and percussion to the new record and, because the experience was so successful, the band decided to host, though not attend, eight more summits over the summer months in countries around the world, including Australia, Italy and Mexico and many more. “The Summit was my brother’s idea,” Shannon says. “We wanted to have fans participate in the album and be a part of us since we always feel strongly about incorporating their thoughts into the our music. Their clapping, chanting and vocals were just as important as our instruments for the album. We decided to take it international after my brother got Tweets from fans around the world wanting to be involved, too. It was pretty amazing in the end.” Besides fans, the new album also features Tibetan monks chanting on one sing, as well as a single with Kanye West. But the fans involvement doesn’t stop at merely their participation via the Summit; the band also wanted them to interpret the album’s title for themselves. “It can mean many things: being at war with yourself, being at war with people around you, being at war companies or what have you,” Shannon explains. “Really, it’s left up to our listeners’ interpretation while they’re listening to the record, and I think that when you’re going through change and trying to discard old ways of doing things, you can be at war of sorts with yourself; think people can relate to that. But in the end, it’s really important for people to interpret it themselves.” While he hopes fans love each and every song off the album, Shannon says his current favorites are “Night of the Hunter” for its sexiness” and “Alibi” since it’s “so stripped down and real,” but admits his favorites change all the time. Founded in 1998 by Shannon and his brother Jared, 30 STM first started as a small family project, but has now evolved into phenomenal act with massive followings. “I would have never thought our songs would be on the radio,” Shannon says about the band’s success. “I was just compelled to make music and doing it just because. When people start gravitating toward your music, it’s an amazing that that can’t really be described. It’s such a great feeling when you play in front of people and you see their faces as they sing back the songs to you and you feel their energy—there’s nothing else that really compares to that.” Focused on This Is War and its world tour next year, Shannon isn’t sure when the next 30STM album will come out, but knows that his holds a lot more opportunities of sharing his and the band’s experiences with the world and their devoted Echelon fans.

Live review: 30 Seconds to Mars @ the Ogden Theatre







Jared Leto and 30 Seconds to Mars played a fan-centric show at the Ogden Theatre on Wednesday. Photo by Jennifer Cohen.
Two days into their first American tour in over two years, 30 Seconds to Mars took fans on a fantastic journey through their three-album history, playing to a sold-out crowd at the Ogden
last night. Four years after “A Beautiful Lie,” their sophomore album,
went multi-platinum, 30 STM is back on tour to support their upcoming
album, “This is War,” set to drop on December 8.
View a full photo gallery of this concert here.
Opening the night with “A Beautiful
Lie,” 30 Seconds to Mars’ Jared Leto, (vocals, guitar), Shannon Leto,
(drums) and Tomo Milicevic, (guitar), treated fans to an energetic
performance, belting out songs from their self-titled debut album, as
well as “A Beautiful Lie,” and two from their soon-to-be released
album, “This is War.”
Singing crowd favorites, “Attack,” “From Yesterday” and “Battle of
One,” the emotive singer didn’t disappoint. Leto’s vocals were clean
and strong, reaching impressive ranges effortlessly.
Referring to Colorado, Leto fired up the crowd saying, “Colorado is
one of my favorite places on the planet… this place is the f***in’
s**t!” He bravely entered the pool of screaming fans, shouting, “Scream
your f***in’ asses off!” They did, and suddenly Leto hovered above the
crowd as if lifted by its’ collective energy.
Despite their apparent dire thirst, “My god, is it always this dry
in Denver? You never have spit or snot!” the band played a tireless
show, and there was no lack of energy as Milicevic continuously jumped
around the stage.
Giving Milicevic and brother Shannon a water break, Leto took down
the lights, and sat down for a mellow acoustic version of “Capricorn.”
He then went into a ballad-esque rendition of “The Kill,” only to stop
half way, rousing the crowds’ energy and curiosity. The rest of the
band came back, adequately hydrated, and stepped up “The Kill” with the
hard-driving riffs we’re used to hearing.
I have to take a moment here to address what Death Cab for Cutie
singer Ben Gibbard recently said about 30 STM, that “Leto is a
professional actor, and is therefore acting the part of a singer, and
that’s what people embrace.” Indeed, Leto is a professional actor. He
has found success in more than one arena. It’s called talent. Embrace
that, DCC.
Anyway: from their inception, 30 STM has always been generous with
their fans, providing a meet and greet after every concert. Wednesday
was no exception. Every person who lined up was met with actual eye
contact and a sincere thank you. The respect between the fans and the
band was palpable.
If the two tracks they played tonight are indicators of what is to
come on Dec. 8, “This is War” will secure the already stable home among
fans and critics alike.

Merci Bou.
J'ai regardé les photos, elles sont belles. J'adore les 21, 22 et 23 car on y voit en gros plan la batterie de Shannon
Sur la grosse caisse, j'y vois des photos. Ce sont les portraits d'Echelons?

De rien (:

Une interview de Tomo ! :

SOURCE

Citation :

It’s attempted several times to contact 30 Seconds To Mars guitarist Tomo Milicevic for our interview, while on the other end the epic sound of This Is War being rehearsed for a run of live shows completely drowns the ringing.

“Sorry for keeping you waiting,” he finally apologises. “I left my
phone on the top of my amp and with how loud we are, it made it
impossible to hear it. I even set an alarm for myself.”

30 Seconds to Mars have a hell of a challenge in front of them. “We
don’t make live albums; we make studio albums and then we play them
live,” Milicevic laughs. “This record we really went for it. To play it
live, it’s going to be a lot of work. But that’s okay, we’re not afraid
of that. We haven’t played live in years. So we’re rehearsing like
crazy now and getting back into that rhythm.”

With a talent like Jared Leto fronting the band,
there really is nothing to fear. Or is there? “I didn’t really want to
release this information…but he’s actually an alien,” Milicevic laughs.
“That’s why he’s so damn good at everything! He’s not a human being!”

The short-film like clip for lead single From Yesterday saw 30 Seconds to Mars become the first ever American band to make a music video-clip in the People’s Republic of China.

“I don’t want to sound like a cocky prick but our videos really are
beautiful,” says Milicevic. “I love watching them. That’s hats off to
Jared and his big thinking and ability to pull that stuff off. He’s
obviously very talented on the film side of things, does really great
work and doesn’t do bullshit movies. I think that’s a testament to his
artistic side. He has so many opportunities to make so much money and
he passes that up for art.”

But what fans might not know is Jared’s brother and bandmate
Shannon, according to Milicevic, is just as gifted in making melody.

“He’s the drummer, so people never think about the drummer being a
melodic person. But those two guys have this unbelievable knack for
creative melody. When you’re writing a song, everything, everything
comes second to the melody.

“There’s a song on the album called L490 that Shannon wrote
and played all the instruments on. A lot of people don’t know that he
can do that. We don’t really showcase that stuff live. The good think
about 30 Seconds to Mars is that nobody will fight for ego. The best
piece of music wins.”

And that music has been reaching far and wide. “We’re building this
family of friends and weirdos that come to our shows. We have the
coolest and equally weirdest audience. So we wanted to capture that
spirit and energy that we have at our performances on the album.”

Enter ‘The Summit’ – another idea made possible by Leto. “We booked
this venue in LA called the Avalon Club – which is a 12,000-14,000 seat
venue – and we decided to turn that place into a giant recording
studio. People turned up from all over the world. Jared was basically
conducting the crowd like an orchestra. It was a pretty magical
experience to be a part of.”

They then went on to conduct global summits around the world, which
still wasn’t enough. “People from countries who didn’t get to
participate were Twittering. I think Jared got this Twitter from a guy
in Iran. He was like, ‘Man, I really wish I could have participated in
The Summit but I live in Iran and there wasn’t a way for me to do it.’
That’s when the digital summit came to life.”

“The thing that is really cool is every single piece of audio that
was submitted, literally every single piece, is on the album,” he
continues. “So to anyone who participated in any form of The Summit,
just know that you are on the album.”

Not many artists can boast the voice of the world as their
instrument. It sounds well worth the effort. “We work 20 hours a day,
seven days a week. I personally believe that’s the only way that you
can achieve anything that’s great. Again, I don’t want to sound like
I’m tooting my own horn or our own horn, but I know we’ve put a lot of
time into this and I hope that it shows in the music.”

J'ai commencé la traduction de cet article je terminerai plus tard dans la journée normalement:

Hurricane :

Tomo: Jared a écrit Hurricane à Berlin en 2007 et je pense que ca
représente bien un autre côté de son écriture et de ce qu’on peut faire en tant
que groupe.
C’est sombre et il n’y a pas beaucoup de guitare dedans, si ce n’est un peu d’acoustique
au début et un peu dans le refrain. Mise à part ca tout est du synthé. Mais c’est
cool. Nous ne sommes pas le genre de groupe qui veut éblouir tout le monde avec
nos compétences. Nous voulons juste faire ce qui bon pour la chanson.
En plus, on a Kanye West sur la chanson, et son chant est vraiment cool. Les
gens vont être surpris d’entendre à quel point il chante bien. Enfin peut être
pas – ils savent déjà qu’il est énorme.
Disons ca comme ca : nous sonnons bien avec lui.

Search and Destroy :

Jared: En fait, on aller jeter cette chanson mais on a décidé de la
gardée. Elle était dure à mixer, ca nous a vraiment fait au cul, mais je suis
content qu’elle soit dans l’album car je pense qu’elle se marrie bien avec la structure complète de l’album.
Cette chanson est une mission, une aventure qu’il vous transporte dans un
voyage. Peut être que c’est pourquoi elle nous a causé tant de problème :
nous avons du partir à l’aventure en tant que groupe pour obtenir un bon résultat.
Certaines chanson viennent très facilement et d’autres se débattent/ vous
demande de vous battre contre elle.
Souvent, celles qui vous causent le plus
de problème deviennent les meilleurs, c’en est un bon exemple.

Alibi :

Shannon était vraiment inflexible pour enregistrer cette
chanson en live. Flood nous a, lui aussi, vraiment encouragé a enregistrer le
plus de choses si possible en live.
Alors sur cette chanson il y a très peu de microphone, moi au piano, Shannon à
la basse et Tomo à la guitare. Pas plus de pistes.
Flood était pour que 30STM sonne comme lorsque c’est juste 3 gars dans une
chambre et jouant ensemble, et je pense qu’il vraiment capturé cela. C’était
génial. Nous ferons définitivement plus de chose comme ca dans le futur.

Stranger in a strange land:

Jared: C’est le côté gauche de mon cerveau, moi dans le coin
sombre de mon âme. C’est également une chanson très sexuelle, ce qui une partie de moi dans laquelle je ne
vais pas fouiller normalement.
Quand vous voulez raconter une histoire, vous voulez explorer toutes les
avenues et les angles. Je ressentais que j’avais besoin de révéler plus de moi.
C’était dur, mais ca devrait être surprenant pour pas mal de gens.
C’est une chanson électronique, et nous avons construit tous les sons à partir
de rien. Nous n’avons rien utilisé de pré programmé. Je pense que c’est assez
unique.
