‘THE KILL’ WILL NEVER DIE:


30 SECONDS TO MARS

SETS MODERN ROCK RADIO RECORD



Certified Platinum

Virgin Record’s Album ‘A BEAUTIFUL LIE’

Rolls On With Video/Radio Hit ‘From Yesterday’



Band Co-Headline ‘Taste Of Chaos’ Tour 2007

NEW YORK – With a record-setting run of 50 weeks on the Billboard Modern Rock airplay chart and counting, “The Kill,” by Virgin Records platinum rock quartet 30 SECONDS TO MARS is now the longest-running hit in the history of the Modern Rock chart, which first started monitoring in 1988.

“The Kill,” was the second single from the certified platinum release A BEAUTIFUL LIE, the band’s second album, which came out on August 30, 2005. Combining a passionate performance and imagery that paid homage to the Stephen King / Stanley Kubrick film classic The Shining, the video clip of “The Kill” won the band a series of awards and nominations from MTV, FUSE, mtvU, and Billboard. The smash hit peaked at No. 3 on the Modern Rock chart.

Having been touring since before the albums release, making stops on Warped, Bamboozle, Lollapalooza and headlining the MTV2 $2 Bill Welcome To The Universe Tour, it should be no surprise that 30 SECONDS TO MARS is marking this new career milestone when they co-headline the Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour, which will take them coast-to-coast through the United States and Canada through early April.

The current single by 30 SECONDS TO MARS, “From Yesterday,” maintains its dominant position in the Modern Rock Top 10 and is continuing to climb the charts. The Fourteen-minute epic short film / video of “From Yesterday,” was the first American music video shot entirely in the People’s Republic of China. “From Yesterday” was, like “The Kill,” directed by reclusive Bartholomew Cubbins, framing a cast of hundreds of warriors, acrobats, eunuchs, and even fireworks in a massive, expressive display of art, culture and storytelling.

The Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour kicks off February 15th in Everett, WA. They will also be doing other headlining shows throughout the country. See dates below.

[S9Dallasoz]

Had been curios just how long it had been on the chart...1 More week and it'll be a full year.
Love it.

[thatwasamoment]

thats a shame

[ShervonEsf]

im over them....ESPECIALLY LIVE BLAAHHH
would be cool if he sang instead of making the crowd sing the entire set, especially during The Kill.

i wanna hear how many albums people are thinking The Used will sell first week.

[domesticyeti]

what a terrible band to set this record

[pwnership]

what a terrible band to set this record

Watch out, dude. Leto will choke your ass out.

30stm sucks.

[fluke182]

How is this possible that that song ended up setting any sort of record? Decent song, very strange that it got that though. Surprised it wasn't Nickelback.

[konstantine94]

I threw up a little bit in my mouth when I got this press release in my inbox. Is Jared going to punch me for saying that?!

[redsand62]

:tophat:

[Roboman]

Well I remember when I was pumped to get their self-titled back in 2002 or 3 and then being pumped for A Beautiful Lie, so I don't have any foul words for 30StM. Congratulations.

[mybreakingpoint]

proves how pointless radio is when bands like this become record setters for it

[Boo Radley]

Thats a shame.

[StrictlyBiznas]

what a terrible band to set this record

Hater.

[ShervonEsf]

It's aaaaalll because of his looks.

[S9Dallasoz]

Deserving song damn it.

[PlusDanny]

They're a really hard-working band who tours non-stop, they care a lot about their fans, and both of their albums are solid efforts and better than most radio rock out there. True, Jared Leto does seem to have quite a bad temper and it is pretty damaging to their image from my perspective (although one of my friends posted a MySpace bulletin about how much he kicked ass for jumping after Elijah Wood, so what do I know?), but the musicians have some interesting material and put on a great live show. Like another member pointed out above, I do wish Jared would sing more of the songs instead of just letting the audience take over. He has that rock star presence on stage, but he need not let it go to his head.

[TheBestBet]

thats a shame

[S9Dallasoz]

So Leto can be a douche...
Shouldn't let that take away from this distinction.

[Tony Pascarella]

That's pretty cool that they've come so far. Props.

[lalalalovely]

How is this possible that that song ended up setting any sort of record? Decent song, very strange that it got that though. Surprised it wasn't Nickelback.

haha, agreed.
I'll admit that I'm a 30TM fan, but i never really saw them getting this big for some reason

[Tony Pascarella]

proves how pointless radio is when bands like this become record setters for itWould you rather Nickelback or Three Days Grace does it? Come on, be realistic. At least 30STM were on Immortal at one point.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

I actually really enjoyed their performance @ Bamboozle Left. That was awesome how he went up the rafters and everything like that. Really solid set, and afterwards went over and bought the cd. Good stuff.

[S9Dallasoz]

30STM >>>> Dogstar

[Chemical Love]

The Kill? Really? Well, anyways congrats to them. They have worked hard.

[Ancora]

as much as i hate leto, black eyeliner, and girl jeans on dudes, the cd is pretty damn good. now, im not saying that because im afriad of being jumped by leto, in fact, i would love to give him a reality check beat down, but the guy has serious talent....go find him covering bjork's "hunter"....

[lightcollapse]

this band makes very solid music for their style and people on this site only dislike them because they're popular. fact.

[oasis_njdevils]

I was so suprised by how Great Jared sounds live...sounds as good as on the CD.
This is just compared to some artists i've heard, compared to their record

anyone notice?

[thisismyname]

proves how pointless radio is when bands like this become record setters for it


What radio have you been listening to? I live in SW Virginia. AKA Hillbilly/Fallwell country. Here, People consider Nickleback to be Modern/and or Alternative Rock. Yet Even I have heard this song on the Radio alot.

[Rohan Kohli]

Dude can sing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwAkAiLJZFE

[xerovision1]

gonna have to agree with half the posts on here... what a shame.

[Rock]

Would you rather Nickelback or Three Days Grace does it? Come on, be realistic. At least 30STM were on Immortal at one point.
hey, nickelback doesn't receive nearly as many accolades as they deserve.

[MightCatchFire]

thats a shame
well said, my thoughts as well.

[Ender217]

framing a cast of hundreds of warriors, acrobats, eunuchs,and even fireworks in a massive, expressive display of art, culture and storytelling.

Ummm isn't a eunuch a man that had his balls cut off?

[Ender217]

1 More week and it'll be a full year.

50+1 /= 52 weeks in a year

[Tony Pascarella]

The majority of the people in this thread wouldn't know musical talent if it ran them over with a truck.

Like it or not, Jared Leto and 30 Seconds to Mars have talent and mass appeal.

[xrateddream]

I'm really happy for them! I wouldnt consider myself a die hard fan, but you gotta wish them sucess. I'd rather them go platinum then fall out boy.

[NationalProduct]

i really like this record, congrats boys

[ShervonEsf]

Dude can sing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwAkAiLJZFE


yeah he can sing, but he doesnt sng in concert, the crowd does.

[Kgod]

Congrats.

Love this band.

[ShervonEsf]

I actually really enjoyed their performance @ Bamboozle Left. That was awesome how he went up the rafters and everything like that. Really solid set, and afterwards went over and bought the cd. Good stuff.
What was solid about it?
You mean how he climbed it all bad ass rock star style but didnt jump like a real rockstar would do?
Or do you mean how he made the crowd sing most the set?
Or do you mean how he said if he could play in So Cal every single night he would?
Or do you mean how I watched him do all three of those things a week prior in AZ and say the same statement to fans in AZ?

Im just bitter because he doesnt sing, because i do think he has one hell of voice when he actually does sing.

also, i think the first 3 songs on the CD give you false impression about the rest of the CD.

[thewk]

the 30 seconds to mars album 'a beautiful lie' has also been confirmed shitty, according to this critic.

[Freeride]

Are you serious? he actually says that the town that he plays in that night is his favorite even though the night before that the other town was................................ ...........that has never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever been done before. I hate to break it to you but i bet more then 1 of your bands have done the same thing, just a quick tip : they do it to get the crowd going........and it works.

by the way, he also lets the crowd sing the song to include them, it may not be good if your watching a live video but its good if your there.

IMO they deserve for the shit they have to go through with jared leto being a lead singer and an actor. way to much haters and way to less of people who know what they are talking about.

[thewk]

The majority of the people in this thread wouldn't know musical talent if it ran them over with a truck.

i might agree with you, but as a staff member, show some class.

[singlexsorrow]

congrats 30 seconds to mars!

Hmm most bands i know will flat out say their hometown is there favorite. Or theyll say the town theyre from sucks because theres not much of a music scene there. either way if i was an artist i wouldnt lie to my fans.

And there a HUGE difference between singing WITH the crowd and just sticking your mic out towards the crowd, HUGE.

[superjerk]

I think it was Adam Lazzara who said "People think I pass the mic too much - if you want to hear me sing, buy the record."

[ShervonEsf]

I think it was Adam Lazzara who said "People think I pass the mic too much - if you want to hear me sing, buy the record."

yeah and thats why they're my least favorite live band.
If I'm paying to see a show, i wanna hear the singer sing.
If that wasn't the case, hell why doesn't the singer stay home as the rest of the band tours [Sarcasm]

[ilovebsb]

I THINK THIS BAND IS TERRIBLE! its pretty digusting to hear that they're breaking records.

this band sucks. i can't figure out the hype, and why everybody buys into them. jarod leto scuks anyways

[xcandynecklacex]

I THINK THIS BAND IS TERRIBLE! its pretty digusting to hear that they're breaking records.

you've ovibously never seen them live then.
they deserve it, they've worked really hard.
jared never he used his fame to promote the band, sometimes he wouldn't even play at some venues cuz of it.
their albums are solid at the least, if not better.
and the music and music videos are deep unlike a lot of bands are the radio.

[Roboman]

this band sucks. i can't figure out the hype, and why everybody buys into them. jarod leto scuks anyways

And you had to quote the entire press release to make those worthless statements?

[PaintMeBlue]

well...that's quite a streak. i won't say anything mean about them...

i will say, though, that there are many more deserving bands than them to get this

[S9Dallasoz]

50+1 /= 52 weeks in a year
Radioandrecords.com has it at 51 weeks.

[blimpcityhero11]

And Jared Leto is certifiably insane... hiyoooooo!!!!

No, really... Congrats guys.

[Tony Pascarella]

i might agree with you, but as a staff member, show some class.Musical talent and whether or not someone personally likes a band are two different things. No one seems to grasp that.

The Mars Volta have musical talent. I don't like them. That doesn't necessarily make them shitty.

Thus goes 30 Seconds to Mars. Jared has a great voice and a capable band backing him up. They are excellent performers, and appeal to a lot of fans. The fact that all these people are coming in here just to claim how shitty they are shows the amount of ignorance here. The fact that Leto would pretty much give up his acting career to do this says something about the guy; he's doing what he wants and loves. Instead of pulling in seven figures acting in movies, he's out busting his ass with a band that has now sold over a million copies of their latest album. :shrug:

Nothing I say will change anybody's mind. But perhaps some of these people talking shit should go ahead and tell us how many times their albums have gone platinum.

[animmortalsoul]

Elijah Wood will be shocked.

That said, good band to do it, and good song to do it with.

[thesewalls]

I like this song.

you guys are just all jealous.

[Co and Ca]

Yes, this band has talent. Any band that plays instruments has talent. But just because they have the ability to play their instruments doesnt mean the band is good. This band is better than half of the shit played on the radio/mtv, but they still suck. But congratulations to them anyways. Now they should take off that make-up and buy bigger pants so they can have babies one day.

[suedeshoes]

im pretty surprised 30 STM are the ones who set this record, but i'd definitely rather have them achieve it than Nickelback or Hoobastank

[KevInept]

Big Congrats to these guys, they've been touring nonstop since this record came out.

Big congrats to 30stm!

YA!
Sparta >> Mars Volta
anyway.

[Of Machines]

YA!
Sparta >> Mars Volta
anyway.

ew no way.

congrats to 30STM.

[Throwback]

Whoever said their videos are deep is a jackass. That From Yesterday video that I have to see every day at the college cafeteria is an atrocity and proves how much of a vain, egomanical jackass Leto is. I love the dude in movies (he's amazing in Requiem and Lord of War) but this band is shit. A good voice does not a good band make.

[xxnfg05xx]

I think they are an ok band. they dont suck, they aren't the best.i do think "from yesterday" is a good song. and really, who cares. it's just the modern rock singles chart. whoever says they dont deserve it, why not? they've toured, worked hard. why not?

[chronomic]

talent =/= heart.


their songs just sound so empty to me. he can sing pretty well, but i cant take actors seriously with things..how can u tell if they are sincere? plus his band broke out right on time to when this type of music is trendy. its just too hollow for me.

[hxchairstylist]

This band deserves it. I remember seeing them play 4 years ago in a small venue in San Diego, to hardly ANY kids. After the show, Jared was the only one who stuck around and hung out. Their set was great, he sang the WHOLE thing, and sounded as good on stage as he does on record. And, that was singing to the first album's songs, which are arguaby even more massive sounding than the 2nd record. The band can play, and the dude can sing.

[Moral_Orel]

A beautiful lie is that this band would be anything if he wasn't Jordan Castelano or the gay guy in Alexander

[booyah]

Nothing I say will change anybody's mind. But perhaps some of these people talking shit should go ahead and tell us how many times their albums have gone platinum.

Stupidest comeback ever.

I suppose you must never say anything negative about any bands since I doubt you've sold any records. Or is it just platinum artists you don't negatively criticize?

[dontfront]

thats a shame

what a terrible band to set this record

Thats a shame.

thats a shame

gonna have to agree with half the posts on here... what a shame.

quintuple "word"

exactly. more people need to realize this.

[Beloved Broken]

Wow. Congrats to the 30STM boys, that's enormous.

[Perfect Teeth]

Radio died at the end of 90s.

[N8IVIin0rity]

this song is on a mix cd i just made...

[astaticskyline]

And you had to quote the entire press release to make those worthless statements?


nope,

dumb mistake on my part. :/

[AshtonThomas]

what a terrible band to set this record




Couldnt Agree More!!!

[nerdvglc]

i love this band, album, and song so much....i ams o glad for them

[Dr. Acula]

Meh...I never quite understood the hype behind this band. What they've been doing has already been done to death by other bands years before them and much better I may add. Oh well...I guess Im in the minority if the song is that popular. congrats.

[GoodbyeBlueSky]

This is disgusting...how do people fall for this shit?

[mybreakingpoint]

Would you rather Nickelback or Three Days Grace does it? Come on, be realistic. At least 30STM were on Immortal at one point.

i personally wouldn't want either of those bands or 30STM to have that record. i'd rather have a, i don't know, GOOD band holding it? i would've rather seen JEW's "the middle" in that slot. or even "swing, swing" by the AAR. but not this song lol.

[mybreakingpoint]

What radio have you been listening to? I live in SW Virginia. AKA Hillbilly/Fallwell country. Here, People consider Nickleback to be Modern/and or Alternative Rock. Yet Even I have heard this song on the Radio alot.

hearing the song has nothing to do with what i said.

the fact that THIS song is popular on the radio and setting records, instead of one of the hundreds of thousands of songs in existance that blow this song away, shows how pointless, not to mention irrelevant, the radio has become.

when 30stm are setting records like this, and not bands like, say, Jimmy Eat World, well, like i said, just proves how worthless radio is haha

[mybreakingpoint]

The majority of the people in this thread wouldn't know musical talent if it ran them over with a truck.

Like it or not, Jared Leto and 30 Seconds to Mars have talent and mass appeal.

talent and mass appeal or not

fact: there are countless other bands out there making better music that are not winning this award.

bands who are better musicians.

bands who, if they were on the radio, would have even more mass appeal than 30stm.

[xtinaface]

very impressive

[funKie]

The song sucks T_T;

What the world has come to?!?!

[Ultragrrrl]

Jared Leto is such a raging douche bag who is the epitome of douchebaggery and gives my fagina douche chills. if a douche could walk, talk, and mimic gerard way, it would be jarad leto.

If the arcade fire record doesnt do better than this album, i will possibly shoot myself.

[Matt_Dizzle]

yess

[asmolitor]

is it me, or did anyone else seem really surprised by this? not in the sense they don't deserve it (debatable) but that it really didn't surface much? i guess not listening to rock radio or watching mtv in the morning is why, but still... i honestly didn't know the single/band was doing this well.
