Their ever popular frontman Jared Leto may have not been able to make it for our little sit down interview, but lead guitarist Tomo Miličević and drummer-percussionist Shannon Leto do just fine in telling us what Thirty Seconds to Mars is all about. Should we take this with a grain of salt? Only The Echelon will know.
In 10 years you only released three albums. How do you think your music has changed in the last three?
Shannon: I think there’s been a natural progression that has happened for Thirty Seconds to Mars. We’re not interested in repeating ourselves; we’re always pushing to challenge ourselves and to evolve and grow. We do things to support that. So yeah, there’s just been a natural progression.
What do you have to say to some who’ve marked you off as manufactured?
Shannon: We don’t pay attention to any of those things. If we hear it we just dismiss it. I mean you’re always gonna have people who say things about you and all we really care about is what we say about each other.
Tomo: You can’t please everybody.
Any future plans for the band?
Shannon: Right now we’re just focused on touring. We have many more months of touring left. We’ll be touring until the end of the year and there’s a lot that entails in it so that’s really what we’re focused on.
There have been rumours that you guys will be taking a decade off touring. Is that true?
Shannon: No, we’re really gonna take two decades off.
Tomo: Two or three. After this tour (we’ll need) at least 20 years to recover so...
You’re a very well dressed band. Do you have a stylist or do you pick your own clothes?
Shannon: Thank you! No, if we like something we buy it and wear it. It’s very simple. Very simple.
Tomo: Not a whole lot of thought goes into it actually. We just kind of... throw it on.
Shannon: [Points at his rainbow coloured shoes] My shoes are a monstrosity. My shoes are partying right now.
Quite a lot of new songs are popping up online from your live shows. Is this a sign that we’ll be expecting an album soon?
Tomo: You never know...
Shannon: Well, maybe in a decade you might be able to hear a note from one of those songs, you’ll never know...
Even though you’ve once said that the band’s name has very little to do with space and travel, one day would the band like to travel to Mars?
Shannon: I mean who wouldn’t? I’m sure if you had the opportunity you’d want to go check out Mars, see what their local disco is you know? Local cuisine...
You’ve travelled all over the world. Any place you particularly like?
Shannon: There’s been many, so it’s really hard to pick...Read the whole post...
