Jared Leto Reveals His Dream Date For The VMAs

Sounds like Thirty Seconds to Mars might be bringing a zebra to the 2013 VMAs on August 25.

Earlier this week, Jared Leto bemoaned his lack of a summer vacation, a fact due in no small part to his job as director on Thirty Seconds to Mars' "Do or Die" music video.

But, as it turns out, he can't put all the blame on that clip. After all, as is often the case with him, Leto was actually pulling double duty during the filming of "Do or Die," shooting a second Mars music video ... this one for the track "City of Angels." And, from the sound of things, this one's gonna be epic.

"I'm making two videos at once. I've been working on 'City of Angels' while I was shooting 'Do Or Die,' " he said. "It's our new single here in the States, it's a very important song, a very personal song.

"It's also a longer song, and while I'm still figuring out what [the video] needs, it will certainly feature a couple of pieces of music, minimum," he continued. "So, yes, it's going to be another Thirty Seconds to Mars short film; it's going to be powerful and emotional and definitely something special."

And for a guy whose past credits include shooting a mini-movie for "From Yesterday" in China, pushing boundaries with the hyper-sexualized "Hurricane" and employing an army of extras and animals for "Up in the Air," that's saying something.

What Leto wouldn't say was just when "City of Angels" would be finished — "sooner rather than later," was about as specific as he'd get — but he did let MTV News in on his band's plans for the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, where they're up for three Moonmen, including Best Rock Video. And it probably won't surprise you to learn they're going to try and top their arrival at the 2010 show, when they stormed the red carpet with a bevy of bikers.

"Well I would like to maybe replicate the 'Up in the Air' artwork," he laughed. "Wouldn't it be great if we showed up with a zebra? It could be pretty amazing."

A zebra would be pretty amazing indeed. Just don't try to ride it, Jared.

30 Seconds To Mars, 2012-08-07 - MTV, How Jared Leto Spent His Summer Vacation: Making Mars' 'Do Or Die'

How Jared Leto Spent His Summer Vacation: Making Mars' 'Do Or Die'

Thirty Seconds To Mars' latest video is a love-letter to the band's fans, and a document of life on the road.

Jared Leto had plans for a summer vacation. Instead, he ended up making a music video.

"It was going to be the first-ever planned summer vacation of my entire adult life. I blacked out the time and said I was going to do it, and then, lo and behold, it went from an overzealous three weeks, to two weeks, then a week, then five days, then nothing," he laughed. "But, in exchange, I have this beautiful little film. I got these experiences with these people I'll never forget, so it's a fine trade-off for me."

That "beautiful little film" is Thirty Seconds To Mars' "Do Or Die," the spiritual sequel to their stirring 2010 live clip for "Closer to the Edge." It was filmed during the band's globe-spanning summer tour, and, like "Closer," features heart-wrenching interviews with members of the Echelon.

So, in a sense, it is a love-letter to Mars' fans ... but, as is often the case with this band, "Do Or Die" is also something more.

"So much has changed about us, about our audience, about our shows, so I wanted that to be a part of it, also. Most of the interviews, I did myself, so they're really intimate. It's me, it's them, and it's the camera," Leto explained. "What I've found is, that if you talk to everybody long enough, you find an incredible story. Every single person has a moment in their life, something that they've found a solution for, a story to tell. Some are funny, some are really intriguing, and if you ask the right questions, you get interesting answers."

One of the most touching moments comes at the very beginning of the video, where Leto speaks with a German fan he'd previously met in Berlin, who told him that his father had recently passed away ... and he'd played a Thirty Seconds To Mars song at his funeral.

Weeks later, almost by chance, Leto ran into him once again, at a Mars show in Austria. And, on a whim, he decided to have him tell his story once again, this time on camera. And though he'd interview hundreds of fans at Mars' shows over the next few months, this story stuck with him throughout. Which is why he chose it to lead off the new video.

"At the show in Austria, where there were tens of thousands of people, and I ran into him and interviewed him; he was the first interview of the summer, and he shared this story about losing his father, and what it taught him, it was really an organic and serendipitous and beautiful way to begin," Leto said. "He shared a really personal part of himself and we're really grateful to him, and that continued throughout all the interviews ... this is basically a document to how we spent our summer; not just us, but all of our amazing fans."

30 Seconds To Mars, 2012-08-06 - MTV, New Video: Thirty Seconds To Mars, 'Do Or Die'

http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/08/06/thirty-seconds-to-mars-do-or-die-video/


Watch 30 Seconds To Mars' "Do Or Die" video.

Thirty Seconds To Mars pay heartfelt homage to their fans in their "Do Or Die" video.

After watching Thirty Seconds To Mars talk about sex (baby) and battle the elements in their truly epic "Conquistador" lyric video, it is with GREAT pleasure that we announce Thirty Seconds To Mars' brand-new "Do Or Die" video, which is also the band's follow-up to their "Up In The Air" video, which was nominated for three VMAs including Best Rock Video. And just as you've come to expect from the trio, "Do Or Die," which clocks in at a whopping seven minutes, leaves no visual stone left unturned.

Watch Thirty Seconds To Mars' "Do Or Die" video after the jump.

The second single from their album, Love, Lust, Faith And Dreams album, "Do Or Die" chronicles the band's backstage and onstage antics as they work to break a world record for the number of live shows (300!) performed during a single album cycle. This new clip is basically a love letter to the Echelon, and the explosive exchange of energy that takes place whenever they perform for them. Also to Leto's piercing blue eyes. And flowing hair. And... oh, right, we're back!

Watch Thirty Seconds To Mars' new video for "Do Or Die."

The love between Thirty Seconds To Mars and their fans is STRONG.

Filmed live abroad in Europe, the
Jared Leto, er, Bartholomew Cubbins-directed clip opens on a young man describing the pain of his father's unexpected death, how he dealt with the loss, how he continues to do so, and the role that music has played throughout the entire grieving process. More confessionals are added to the mix, claiming that music is everything from a drug to the reason why they're even alive. Then, the video cuts to high-quality live performance footage, only occasionally swapping in scenes of the band helming a gigantic sailing ship. (Unless that's the tour bus...?)

Watch Thirty Seconds To Mars' new video "Do Or Die."

Thirty Seconds To Mars are really pirates? We believe it.

Additional interviewees interject at a few more key points in the video, declaring everything form "I believe in music -- it's everything to me" to "the one thing that has never left me is music." Throughout cancer scares, divorce, job loss, death, and nearly anything else you could think of, music has helped these individuals persevere and continue to enjoy life. Likewise, Thirty Seconds To Mars seem so moved by the audience's emotions every time they perform live, "Do Or Die"'s concept seems to be that they want to return the favor.
GAH, this is so sweet. #ASingleTragicTearDrop. Oh, and did we mention that the band's NEXT VIDEO, "City Of Angels," is supposed to surface very, VERY soon?!?! #ALLTHETEARS

I’m sitting in the dark writing this having just finished this little film and although I don’t feel quite done yet it’s time to let it go.

This is a story about an incredible adventure that we all shared together this summer. A summer that we will never forget. It’s also a reminder (for myself as well) to LIVE LIFE NO MATTER WHAT. But ultimately it’s a love letter to you all. The believers.

Even before I started shooting I thought of it as a companion piece to Closer To The Edge, a sequel of sorts, the next chapter. I knew it had to be special as Closer is held in such high regard by you all. So we worked hard. And then worked even harder. Sharing this journey with you all has been the gift of a lifetime and I hope you can see and feel that in this piece…our gratitude. It was difficult to surrender this one. I wanted to keep filming, continue the interviews, discover more, learn more and stay on the journey. But it was time and here it is. I hope it speaks to all of you and lets you know how much you mean to us.

30 Seconds To Mars - Do Or Die

This is the amazing new video of "30 Seconds To Mars" shot all over Europe (Summer 2013). Like a "Closer To The Edge" Part 2.
Has some images from Marés Vivas, Vila Nova De Gaia, Portugal. 1mn29 and 2mn51. Freezing the image I appear on the right side of Jared Leto. On the first shot in 1mn29 Jared jumps to the crowd (in Marés Vivas).

Thirty Seconds To Mars - Do Or Die



Hope you will love this awesome lyric.

Thirty Seconds To Mars - Do Or Die

In the middle of the night.
When the angels scream.
I don't want to live a lie, that I believe.
Time to do or die.

I will never forget the moment, the moment.
I will never forget the moment.

And the story goes on!
On!
On!
That's how the story goes.
That's how the story goes.

You and I will never die.
It's a dark embrace.
In the beginning was a life, a dawning age.
Time to be alive.

I will never forget the moment, the moment.
I will never forget this night.
We sing, We sing...
On!
On!
On!
That's how the story goes.

Fate is coming , that I know.
Time is running, got to go.
Fate is coming, that I know
Let it go.

Here and now.
Under the banner of heaven,
we dream out loud.

Do or die...and the story goes...
on.......
on.......
on.......

And the story goes...
On!
On!
On!

(This is the story)
Fate is coming that I know
(This is the story)
Time is running got to go.
(This is the story)
Fate is coming that I know.
(This is the story)
Let it go.
Here and now.
Under the banner of heaven,
we dream out loud.
Dream out loud.

Fate is coming, that I know.
(Time to do and die)
Time is running out.
(Time to do and die)
Fate is coming, that I know
(Time to do and die)
Let it go.

30 Seconds To Mars - Video with my Photos, Marés Vivas, PT, 2013-07-19,20,21 (PedroSSM)

Saw the amazing "30 Seconds To Mars" last Saturday/Sunday July 20th, 21st on Marés Vivas Festival, Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal.
It was my 4th 30 STM live show and this for me was the best.
Amazing memories of the concert that will stay forever.
Made this video with my best photos of the 3 days I was there (July 19, 20 and 21). Have some photos with my friends on the 19th and 20th and then the amazing photos of 30 Seconds To Mars. Made the video with 3 songs: "Birth", "City Of Angels" and "Do Or Die".
I hope you will love this.
