Why Do People Even Like Jared Leto?!

[@CaptPostmod]

My (now ex) wife won a radio contest to meet Jared Leto before a 30 Seconds to Mars show about 10 years ago. She'd had a crush on him since his Jordan Catalano days. We're about a decade younger than Mr. Leto, which makes us far too old for him to be interested in. He hated meeting us even before he had, was wildly standoffish and dismissive, and thoroughly unpleasant. We skipped the concert after-even though we had free tickets-because he was so off-putting.

[@feintcircles]

I had a friend in the early 2000's that got invited backstage after a 30 Sec to Mars show. After hanging out for a bit Jared wanted everyone to get on the tour bus. Right before she climbed on the bus Jared stopped her and told her that she was too fat to hangout on the bus with everyone else. This absolutely destroyed her self confidence for years after, and she was a really attractive young woman. I'll never forgive him for that crap.

I do quite like This Is War, I think partially because it all flows together quite well and just sounded different than anything else I had heard at the time.

Your voice gets lower as you get older. He was singing up to top D's which is ridiculously high for any singer. As you tour your voice gets more and more damaged also. He'll never sing that high again. Doesn't make him any less of a singer though.

[@maxmorelli193]

Your voice gets lower if you don't use it properly, as the most of the singers do unfortunatly. One thing is to be sounding very very good, and another thing is to be sounding good and healthy at same time. He pushed it to far and he didn't menage to be singing properly all the time. Since he was touring and doing this for so long he lost it. That s it. Watch out maestro Angelo Lo Forese, you will see that age, if u sang properly, doesn t mean anything.

🤣 love you Justin 💓 so miss British humor. Counting down to your gig at The Powerstation in Auckland next week 😘

I met Jared Leto once. He was an asshole. The End.

[@deathtilluspart4636]

Can you elaborate? Is it okay if you tell the story?

[@tcrijwanachoudhury]

That can't be the end??! Please tell...

[@navasaband]

30STM was rehearsing at S.I.R. in Los Angeles. I was a stage manager/soundman there. They were wrapping up for the night. Cameron Diaz popped by to say hi to Leto, her boyfriend at the time. She was cool, mildly vapid, but nice. After she left, Leto started being a macho fuck, talking about how much he’s gonna screw around behind her back, dissing her, talking shit, just overall being a complete dick. There ya go. The End.

[@rodmorrison47]

He really has the ability to ruin every movie he's in. Incredible.

[@leroyjenkins3895]

This song is much more appreciated if you watch a live version. Its just one of those songs that has another level when its live. I honestly don't like the studio version so much.

[@bertplus]

That model of sunglasses are called the "Jagger," so Justin has Glasses Like Jagger.

[@frankienamosaki7547]

I've heard you sing that intro god knows how many times, and for some reason, this rendition appears to be the best version I've heard haha, is it just me or did he really hit them notes singing his theme song lol?

[@ollyscanlon]

Love your vids Justin, just discovered them today. They feel natural, organic and unadulterated, keep on keeping on! ✌

[@SurprisePartyBand]

I find it interesting that the average age of their fans seems to be mid 20s and younger. I loved them in my early 20s and I’m now 39. They seem to keep their fan base young 🤔

[@andrewgarcia3136]

Maybe they're vampires 🤔

[@danknight7692]

Leto likes them young.

[@dingis555]

I've been living in hope for a while now for a Gangs of New York style clash between Leto's cult, the Kiss Army, Wu Tang and the Beliebers

[@BrianMaguireMKE]

Hey Justin, what are your favorite songs with parenthetical titles?

[@kellymcphaul2793]

Just a comment about The Darkness: Saw you guys in 2004 and you were so fun and also so musically precise. ❤

[@parcans]

Loved the 1st record. Heavy, melodic, and bits of cool electronic elements. Capricorn, Echelon, and Welcome to the Universe are solid tunes. After that record, they lost me though.

[@TrevorParsnips]

Their entire oeuvre is for young teenagers

[@robertcowan9193]

Echelon is such a banger

[@TrevorParsnips]

Nonsense @@robertcowan9193. Nonsense, hogwash, codswallop, and nonsense. All their music is terrible and soulless.

[@andreahayward7169]

Good chat there. Maybe talk about Shannon sometime. Very energetic drummer!

[@MikeF5]

Justin, saw you in Tampa, Florida and it was the only show I've been to that felt like not only a concert but also a party. Such a fun time. But, quick question...you always seem so chill and happy, I have to ask....what's the angriest you've ever been on stage?

[@imaca6538]

I bloody love this channel, boss mate

[@lazlowoodbine7916]

Saw them live in Lisbon a few years ago. Brilliant gig. He is a great front man with an great voice. Forget he’s an actor, forget Hollywood and he’s really good!

[@alexandrelobo8524]

campo pequeno or pavilhao atlantico?

So that Joker fella was in a band before the movies... Lives n learns. Thanks Justin 👍
