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. A Beautiful Lie has some really incredible songs (the title track, The Kill, and From Yesterday), but I honestly am not a huge fan of a lot of the songs on that album.

Your voice gets lower if you don't use it properly, as the most of the singers do unfortunatly.

Gotta say I am a metal fan and did enjoy this album though. I do think Jared is immensely talented and seems unfair to have all of that!! Lol. Didn’t really care for the music after this album though! Not sure where it went to! I also did not know about this cult thing that is going on!! A little creepy I’d say! But worth checking out to see if it is true or just stories!! Anyway, love the channel!! I have a great respect for your opinions and talent!!! Keep pushing forward!!

Jeffery Epstein exists, nothing surprises me anymore with these rich people.

The longer this video goes, I've realized that you do in fact have that massive movie star head you were speaking of earlier in the video, strong jaw line and a hairdo like a crooked lawyer. You could pass as a movie star or rock star, which ever you fancy. Nice video, you seem very intelligent.

[@jsteelester]

This is a wildly stupid question, but I’m a wildly silly man. Would you ever consider reviewing an unsigned artist, if one was to submit a song, or indeed album?

[@walterreynoldsmusic]

Great question. Honestly nobody famous does this it would be a great thing if somebody did.

[@TT-df9hp]

It wouldn't get many views but he might do it if you throw some money his way on Patreon.

[@connorllewellyn4382]

@@walterreynoldsmusic it’s generally down to not wanting to be the one who gave a d*ckhead artist exposure and that’s always a risk

[@GizzyDillespee]

​@@connorllewellyn4382 You folks are probably right... maybe he should throw some money on patreon and do something that would prove he's not a dickhead. Rescue a kitten from up a tree, while someone records it, and then have a little girl run up screaming "THIEF! THIS MAN IS STEALING MY KITTEN!"

[@officialWWM]

That’s a great idea. I’d like to hear your music!

[@john_air]

i just discovered this channel and i'm loving it LOL it's sos intense when jared leto says "relax" got me hahahahahahaha

Hi Justin, I'm a huge fan of yours from south America (Chile). Question: What was your inspiration for "Love is only a feeling" and also Where was the video recorded? Thank you for being a wonderful musician ❤

[@Weeeeeeeeeg]

Hola mi amiga 👋 video was filmed in the blue mountains in my home country, Australia. Have no idea how they got all that gear up so high!

[@egem84]

@@Weeeeeeeeeg thank you so much for telling me 🤗😁

[@Existentialnausea]

The guy in the backseat with him, Matt... he was the nicest band member. I ran into him out in Detroit & he was so humble.

[@draglinesilk5229]

Justin! you are killing me! Talking about his eyes and a speculative cult island. 😂 I accidentally saw 30 seconds to Mars in Charlotte North Carolina because they were the opener for Muse. Muse was rained out but we did see 30 seconds. I am not a fan of the emo 2000’s genre but have a few songs that I really like. The kill is one of them. My husband and I were joking that this wasn’t the real Jared Leto, A list movie actor in Charlotte North Carolina? And My husband and I were joking the entire time because we thought possibly he may have hired a stand in because he had a huge beard and heavy heavy heavy heavy huge sunglasses! But I will say that his crowd interaction was beautiful, He really knows how to engage the people in a performance and at the end of their show he pulled up at least 40 people onto the stage to dance with them. In Charlotte North Carolina? It sort of blew us away! Also, his vocal performance is superb. Wish I had his range and ability. And I am a paid Vocalist. Ha ha Shame on anyone who would ever try to tear him apart for being a performing musician or say that his vocal ability is not what people think.

[@andreahayward7169]

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

[@TomTom-kv5nf]

Hi Justin, there’s a Gibson SJ200 attributed as Dan’s old guitar on a well known bidding site for £25,000. What are your thoughts? There must be a lucrative career for you going round music stores and strumming guitars and getting a share of the markups! 🙂

[@joshgato282]

John Norum Rips! I think the last time I heard Carrie was at the roller rink during couple's skate. Nice!

[@kJ922-h3j]

You should react to Sam Ryder if you haven’t already, insane voice!

[@thomasstangl9937]

I hope you end up reviewing some Translating the Name era Saosin, Some Tell All Your Friends era Taking Back Sunday, Some self titled The used era stuff Maybe some Juturna era Circa Survive And Let it Enfold you Senses Fail. My favourite Emo bands for sure..

[@MrJosten72]

Went to see 30STM in Manchester after A Beautiful Lie came out, simply to accompany my partner, who really fancied JL. They were actually great live, really impressed me. Met him afterwards & he was pleasant enough, if a bit wary. The rest of the band were lovely. Saw them again a little later in a Edinburgh and they were really good then too; met the band again, same experience as before. However the last time I saw them, after the next album came out, his voice was shot and he got the audience to sing most of the songs. Haven’t seen them since and I do get the impression JL takes himself somewhat too seriously - and the cult thing def sounds a bit weird. FWIW though, if AURORA starts a cult I’m definitely in, 110%. 😉😁

[@j800r_aswell]

I've never been much of one for "emo" music, but one thing I always appreciated about this track is the indisputable fact Jared has chops for days.

[@mrbungle3310]

As much as people hate him,and i personally do now...their first album and the kill are amazing...the kill is one of those songs,that even if its from 00s its still relevant and well written

[@TrevorParsnips]

Nah yer wrong mate. The song is vapid, childish drivel. I mean that in a bad way.

[@skepticalbadger]

"Relevant"

[@kennedypage9128]

That song sucks, the band is unoriginal and Leto is a creepy douchebag

[@sonortubelug3853]

The 'woahs' are also similar to the bits in Miss the Misery by the Foo fighters and Final Countdown by Europe. (although I've just started the video again and you mentioned the Europe thing) Cheers.

[@DavidSchilter]

Europe and 30STM are quite different musically. But for sure they both have charismatic and talented pretty boys up front (and I don't mean that in a disparaging way). What could be more rock-and-roll than calling yourself Joey Tempest, right?

[@celluloidboypictures245]

searching for Jared Leto Cult videos now. Thank you
