Thank you's on ABL cd

2008-09-15T15:47:35Z

Hi, new member here!

I finally got my very own copy of ABL. I'm probably the last one *grin*

I have a question about the thank you's Jared gives in the booklet of ABL. I assume some of them are meant to be funny, like dr.Suess. In it he also thanks L.Ron Hubbard. So, I was wondering if this was meant to be a joke or if he really is a member of Scientology? ~~(I hope it's a joke)~~ No disrespect to anyone who is, btw.

Thanks to whomever answers this question.

Can anyone tell me if Shannon throws his drumsticks after they're done with the set?

If the answer is 'yes', can you also tell me if he does it consistently or only on occasion?

I really do need to know this. It's for fic research, so any help would be appreciated.

So...

I have an odd question, but I just have to ask:

Does anyone know if there are any pictures out there of Shannon when he was a kid? I've seen a picture of Jared as a child, but never come across any of Shannon and my curiosity is starting to gnaw at me. If anyone knows, I'd really appreciate it.

Also, I have no idea how to tag this, so I'm going to leave it empty. Mods, feel free to tell me or go back and do them for me if that's what you'd prefer.

Thanks. :D

ABL DVD

2008-07-16T04:01:34Z

On the ABL DVD that WalMart sells in a special package with the CD, are there any hidden tracks? If so, how does one access them? Hammer? Tongs? Bomb? Magic wand? Same on the CD.
Thanks!

Fic fodder: Jared's The Point and Purple Roofs

2008-07-08T21:35:17Z

This isn't so much going to be a little 'facts sheet', as some stuff for you writers to play with. You know that Jared in his thank-words on the ABL albums (in the different versions) mentions a "Nelsons The Point", don't you? A couple of hypotheses have been formulated about this obscure reference. Personally, the theory I preferred was the one about Harry Nilsson's 'The Point' (little post on the boards if you're interested). People have also tried to connect a geographical location to the term. If you google it, you'll come out with some place, different places even in South-Africa, more specifically in the Cape Town region. And of course, that's a much liked theory ("Four continents/five countries" yeah!!). There's a Nelson's Guest House in Sea Point, there is Cape Nelson with a Cape Nelson's Guest House, there is a place called Cape Point, and perhaps some more.

In fact, Jared once revealed the exact location where he stayed when he was in South Africa on location for 'Lord of War': in an old radio interview that someone re-posted here not so long ago. It's a place called Camps Bay. Here's a map of the Cape Town region if you're starting to feel a little disoriented. Now we know he has been wandering around in the region, hiking, so this doesn't really dismiss any of the above theories.

Personally, I think Jared's Nelson is the other chap: admiral Horation Nelson and we're far from done questing for this 'Point' but that's not the reason why I'm posting here. It's one of the Cape Town locations that I thought might sparkle some interested out of the Mars fic writers in this fandom. I got this little pearl from someone else, whom I hereby thank (*waves*).

Here we go. Nelson's Guest House in Sea Point: their home page. You're asking me: what's the big deal? Wait! They have another website: right here. Isn't it marvelous? Just begging to be used as a background for a good Jared fic, LOW or 30STM wise if you ask (me *g*).

Random as hell, but does anyone know where/when the fangirl-eating-Jared's-saliva-off-the-ground incident occured, and how Mr. Leto was dressed? (would like a pic or two of him, please)

Kind of a geeky, techy kind of question...

2008-06-27T15:02:52Z

I'm trying to finish up an assignment for college about the band and I just need one thing to finish:

Have any members of the band ever done interviews where they've talked about their equipment...like Shannon's drums and the amps and stuff Tomo, Jared and Tim use?

I know there is a list on the forum, but apparently I need to be able to put it in a research portfolio and a forum post isn't acceptable research material...but all I can find on 'proper websites' is Shannon's tiny interview about drumsticks and the part in a making of or something where he says that he took a picture and had the company wrap the image round his kit as an overlay...

Buck

2008-06-26T04:06:53Z

A question for y'all.

1. When did Buck come onto the scene? Was it on the Forever Night Never Day tour, or had he been with them before?

the kill video question

2008-06-23T20:33:17Z

Hey
yeehaa i have a question for the experts :P
You all know the video of the kill and the bear / tomo scene, don't need to explain that but today one of my friends said she thought shannon was in the bearsuit, while i thought it was one of the roadies
But we both can't find proof haha (i know it's somewhere on the 30stmboards but thats hard to find)
Does anyone here know for sure who was in it? or where to find the proof?
thnxx!

Closer?

2008-06-22T13:04:37Z

Hey,

I was wondering does anyone know when 30 started singing 'Closer' in with 'The Fantasy'? Partly for my own personal interest and partly because I wanna write a story about it.

Thank you ^^

eta: And I have no idea what to tag this so any help there would be awesome as well lol

ABL Video Shoot

2008-06-22T12:06:36Z

Hello all,

it's me again :D

While preparing the plot for a new story, I realized that I don't know for sure/forgot when the guys were off to Greenland to shoot the ABL video. It would be good to have the somewhat accurate timeframe, lol. So, my question is, does anyone know (doesn't have to be the exact date or anything) when they were off to shoot the video? I know it was last year, but I can't remember if it was after their first round across Europe in Spring or after the second in summer, or if Jared briefly left the "Nobody" set for the video shoot.

Can anyone help me out? ^^

Thanks in advance!

2008-06-21T22:39:47Z

After breatherepeat's entry here, I said I'd upload what I still have. Here's what I've collected over the course of being in this fandom. I might have mis-dated some. I could only guess from what year they were by looking up the date the file was created, so hopefully I sorted them all right and you don't have anything twice in there. If you catch anything named wrong or something's double (I hope that's not the case), please let me know so I can edit.

For the LoveLine interviews as well as some more interviews of those three years not listed here, please check out the post mentioned above and the comments to it.

Enjoy! Hope it's helpful and the one or other finds something they didn't have in their collection yet.

Some of those interviews, I recorded myself, others I've downloaded from various websites/the message board in the past. If anyone here actually recognizes their record, please let me know so I can give credit.

I'm sure I've got some more but I really, REALLY couldn't place some into the right year or find out which radio station it was. If I get any smarter about them, I shall upload those as well.

Loveline

2008-06-21T04:44:40Z

Some of the funniest moments in 30 Seconds to Mars' history have been through radio interviews. Behind the mic, they all seem free to say whatever they wish.

I would like to ask people to post the radio interviews that they have. I have seen a lot of interviews, but some were expired before I was able to find them.

In trade, I offer the Loveline series. Jared should add sex counselor onto his list of jobs.

Old School 30 Seconds to Mars

2008-06-21T02:37:55Z

Since I was uploading this for someone else, I thought I'd share the link here, as well. As far as I know, it's the only video interview including Solon. And it seems to have been pulled from youTube. Hate that.

It's the MTV 3 Question interview where the guys are standing in front of a wall of license plates. Questions are (1) "Favorite music video", (2) "if you could reunite one band living or dead", and (3) "Sex, Drugs, or Rock 'n Roll"? Matt gets a lot of ribbing for his musical tastes. *g*

http://www.sendspace.com/file/vm6a3h

Anyone else have any videos with Solon in them, beyond "Capricorn" and the video montage that is included on the self-titled album?

-----

Just a reminder: this community was intended to answer your questions. Feel free to ask anything. No question is too silly. Some of the people who have been following the band for awhile would love to share their treasures, but they don't know what you want to know, see, or hear.

The Leak

2008-06-20T08:18:12Z

Hello. Someone recently asked me for a link to the radio interview that the boys were doing when the leaking of 'A Beautiful Lie' album was made known.

I stole the originals off of the boards somewhere, but I figured that some people would like to listen to them and don't brave the boards.

Both interviews are very entertaining and informative.

The first one is where Jared gets the phone call and goes off on the record company people (off the air, unfortunately) and does a mean Christopher Walken impression. Plus, the radio guy asks if Shannon ever thought about doing something like "The Bachelor."

The Second Interview, talks about the incident at the radio station and what came of the leak.

I thought that this was a really good idea for a community, so I hope it is okay if I try to revive it.

30StM video costs

2008-04-25T20:43:54Z

Since some lovely people have already posted the recent/upcoming Rock Sound interview (#109), I have a question:

In the interview it was stated that Jared has never paid his own money to get their music videos done.

For some reason, my brain tries to tell me that I've heard the opposite somewhere else - that he has put a great deal of money into their projects.

So, do I just mistake something, or is the new interview innacurate?

Mod post: Welcome!

2008-04-25T20:39:10Z

On behalf of myself (and I believe mlady_rebecca agrees with me), we welcome everyone to 30 Seconds to Mars TidbiT.

No big speeches needed, I assume. All I ask is that you go and read over the rules, spread the word - if you want to be promoted in return (communities and websites) send me a message or leave a word in comments here.

Other than that... I don't think there's a lot else to say. Let's see how things start working from here. (I know I'm going to start the game by posting a question after this, since I have one :P)

Good luck, good night (it's almost midnight here right now...).
