Trivia

The band's 3rd album titled This is war because of EMI. Most of the songs from this period inspired Leto to perform Closer To The Edge with a lyric containing "birth of song death of a dream", because the record label was trying to destroy them in every facet of their art and take their dream away.

I lost all my words to describe
1 September 2013 | by hip-hop-danceSee all my reviews

I've seen the documentary last night and it was beautiful. These man fight for their own rights and I will support them with everything I can. They made their dreams come true and not one thing could stop them. I have to learn things from them to do the same things. To follow my dreams like they did. I cried when I got the ticket as a gift to attend the premiere. It was f*cking incredible. This is their story behind This Is War, a rough road. I fight to the end and conquer. Without them I wouldn't be the person I am now. Thanks to their music, their road to become who they are, their story behind it all. You can start without having anything and become so big. With words coming straight out of my heart I truly can say with all honesty I love these guys. Thirty Seconds To Mars are the true leaders of the Echelon, and I'm proud to be a part of it!
