30 Seconds to Mars Get Up Close and Personal With New York Fans
Posted on Apr 22nd 2010 12:00PM by Emily Tan



It's no secret that 30 Seconds to Mars have an extremely loyal fan base, and the band's show at New York City's Roseland Ballroom on Wednesday night showed just how devoted they were. With the audience jumping and crowd surfing on command and singing every lyric as loud as they possibly can, it felt like 30 Seconds to Mars was rallying up an army.

"You people are just like me," 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto, who sported a bright red mohawk, yelled to the crowd. "You're out of your f---ing minds. Thanks to you, now I look like one of the village people. But it's New York City. You party with your tits out."

30 Seconds to Mars filled their set with a mix of old and new tracks, and Leto made sure to keep everyone entertained, talking to the crowd as if he were addressing his close friends. To Leto, everyone in the room was more than just a fan. "Welcome to the family," he said. "We f---ing love you more than life itself."

Complete with an intense laser light show and a backup rhythm section care of masked punk drummers Street Drum Corp, 30 Seconds to Mars were ready to give their fans a show they wouldn't forget. Radio host Matt Pinfield, who introduced the band's set, announced that the band had surprises that would only happen during this New York show, and he was right. When Shannon Leto traded his drum sticks for an acoustic guitar to play 'L490,' the other Leto caused a stir in the back as he quickly made his way to the soundbooth where the band's first special feature would take place.

After Shannon's solo, attention zeroed in on Jared in the back of the venue where he jumped onto a small platform with his guitar. Surrounded by a sea of people, Leto performed an acoustic medley of tunes including 'Hurricane,' 'Capricorn' and 'Revenge' -- a song he said "his grandpappy taught him" -- as well as a cover of Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance.' Leto then started off 'The Kill' by himself only to be joined by his bandmates on the main stage who continued playing as the lead singer jumped into the crowd and ran as quickly as he could back to the front of the venue.

Although the night seemed to go fairly smoothly, Leto did almost stumble during 'The Fantasy' and the set also experienced tiny feedback issues, which he reassured everyone by saying, "That's just the subway passing through."

Despite the issues, the band kept the energy high and going up until the encore. Before going into their last song for the night, Leto made sure to keep his Twitter followers happy, posting photos from the show. Excitement erupted when Leto started inviting people onstage for 'Kings and Queens' as people scrambled and even crowd-surfed their way to the already packed stage.

If the 30 Seconds to Mars army didn't get enough of their favorite rockers, the band promised everyone they weren't going to party that night and instead stay after the show to meet and sign autographs for anyone who wanted one. If you weren't lucky enough to get tickets, check out a video of Leto performing from the crowd below.

30 Seconds to Mars Perth concert review

IT has been a long-time coming for fans of 30 Seconds to Mars, who opted out of attending On the Bright Side festival to listen to the rocking trio.



The alternative music group finally made their mark on Perth, and boy was it worth the wait.


Lead singer and sometimes actor Jared Leto has clearly backed away from his pretty boy image, virtually unrecognisable with a peroxide blonde Mohawk and a strut that gave Tim Curry's, in Rocky Horror Picture Show, a run for its money.


He jumped into Night of the Hunter and End of the Beginning with such veracity, the crowd were helpless to his charisma. This concert was certainly not one for children as every second word out of Leto's mouth was an expletive. No one was complaining though.

The crowd engagement was superb as Leto moved around the stage, kept throwing water bottles to the audience and kept repeating how much he loved Australia and wanted everyone to"get crazy". He would stop the show regularly to make sure the punters were having a good time and stated that it was not a "sit down concert, so to stand up and if anyone tries to make you sit down to let him know". That sentence alone sums up how high-energy their set was.



Vocally, Leto was strong throughout the show, hitting all the high notes. The one gripe was how he kept getting the crowd to sing and sometimes they just didn't know the words. It would have been better if he had just sang a song all the way through. While his voice was loud, at times it was drowned out by the instruments, but there was no denying the stage presence of the trio and how good they were at entertaining the masses.


Before he began This is War he encouraged the people in the moshpit to come closer and for those who didn't want to be there to go to the "sleepy section". He restarted a song because he wanted everyone to jump at the same time, needless to say, everyone was happy to oblige, especially after he declared he was going to become an Australian citizen.


Leto's brother Shannon, who is the group's drummer, took to his acoustic guitar for a beautiful instrumental. In the meantime Leto went unnoticed into the crowd and appeared shortly after towards the back of the Challenge Stadium near the sound desk.
Changing his guitar frequently throughout the show, he performed Hurricane followed by From Yesterday and The Kill. The time he spent in the crowd was certainly the highlight of the show as his voice shone over the awe-struck audience. It was quite refreshing that he didn't seem to care about physical contact from the punters, unlike other artists who have five bodyguards around them, despite a number of people trying to jump on him in their excitement. He kept asking "you having fun yet?!" The general consensus was yes, yes we were.


He loved revving up the crowd as he made them repeat the word no as he filmed them for a video the band was creating. He sang Closer to the Edge and made mention of On the Bright Side festival, thanking everyone for coming to their show considering they could have gone to the Esplanade concert, which featured The Strokes, Mumford & Sons and Band of Horses.


Their other notable songs included Beautiful Lie and Alibi, but it was when he began calling people from the crowd to grace him onstage that the show really went into overdrive. People were chomping at the bits to get asked on stage and Leto had to tell people to be safe as they clambered towards it. One of Leto's over-zealous fans nearly knocked him down but he didn't seem to mind. As the group ended the show with Kings & Queens, he stopped the music and said "this is the last chorus of the last song, are you ready to go nuts?" and called on everyone to get up from their seats and go to the moshpit. It was a powerful end to what an outstanding show. Leto promised the band would come back again soon, here's hoping.
