Why Do People Even Like Jared Leto?!

- The Kill by Thirty Seconds To Mars is one of those songs that seems to encapsulate a moment in time culturally. It was released in 2006 and was a massive hit, fronted by movie star Jared Leto. This is another one of those big hits that I just don't seem to get, so I'm going to try and understand what the appeal is. Is it the emo style music? Is it the charisma of Jared Leto? Are the fans of Thirty Seconds to Mars actually part of a cult? What's going on? If you know, please enlighten me. Let's do this.

#ThirtySecondsToMars #JaredLeto #TheKill - Zábava
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.
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.
@@feintcircles Omg, i have no words
@@feintcircles Omg wow! That is incredibly sad. That guy has some nerve. He basically looked anorexic through a lot of his career. He acts like he's some magical being. Please...
I saw him in concert in 2011 and he was like 20 to 30 minutes late and didn't even apologize. He's a wacko!
@@feintcircles people keep putting shit on a pedestal .
I used to really like 30STM. I even saw them in concert. But the more I read about Jared Leto, how he kicked various members out of the band, his massive narcissism, how he literally has started a cult, and the numerous allegations of him grooming underage girls...I can't stand to listen to them anymore.
I agree, I just commented saying how I find it interesting that they keep their fan base young. I loved them in my early 20s and now 39. Don’t love them now and would be the oldest at a concert. However I’d feel right at home watching the darkness.
@@SurprisePartyBand "we are the last of our kind" 😉
there is no evidence of underage girls and Jared Leto
Same here. I loved the band during my emo phase and enjoyed some of his earlier movies like Requiem. Now I just wait for him to be finally canceled. Creepy guy
This sucks cause he is sooo gorgeous but if y’all are right which I’m thinking you more than likely are then… it’s just sad… because no one should let their looks go to their head in the first place let alone use it to lure in young girls who are totally blind to the truth of the situation and don’t know what they’re getting themselves into . Geez I’ve ALWAYS been a Jared Leto fan he’s actually my age (I think) I’m 48 I think he is 48/49 ? So anyway I’m still the type of person to have to see it to believe it but who knows and really who cares? 🤣I’ll never meet him . To me he’s just eye candy 🍭🤣✌️
I like how Justin lashes them out without sounding like his doing so. Oh, how I like the good and old British sarcasm.
I am really appreciating the trend of dressing to match the band - long may it continue!
I get a good chuckle from you every day. Thank you, Justin. I am thoroughly enjoying your channel.
There's creepy rumors about him messaging young girls and even has a cult like getaway. There's a clip of him stopping his concert to shame a bloke who hasn't stood up to dance.. Social media is full of creepy stories about how he behaves.
Yup. Some girl overhead him bitching over the phone about being stuck in her small town over night and there’s “fat people everywhere”. He’s a misanthropic vegan that thinks he’s superior to others.
Social media is creepy crap.
He is definitely creepy! He thinks he is God!
you have no evidence that he wrote with young girls
@@cwratten1 Kanye did that
Would love to see you interviewing other musicians.
Me too
Definitely. The added perspective of years of musician life would make it more like a conversation with some questions peppered in.
Yes. With guitars / a bit of jamming on their songs ...... Would be brill.
Yes. 🔥
No. This is perfect. Everyone else can go away, we are happy with Just Justin
This video is a rather obvious nod to the Stanley Kubrick film version of Stephen King's novel "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson. The tuxedos, the hotel, the characterizations, and absolutely the sexual scene with the bear costume. An amazing film.
YESSS!!!! LOVE IT!
So agree with you!
Thank you, Michael. Do you think the video effectively makes its own impression?
Taking a shot at the hotel bar alone (where Nicholsson drinks and talks about how Wendy sucks and is losing his mind), one member being in a room with a bathtub (the scene where the old lady comes out from the bathtub at the green room), the band singing in the dining hall stage where the bar is at the movie. Just the doubles theme are kinda referencing to the twin girls. There is a lot of references thru out.
Justin is like all my coolest high school teachers rolled into one dude with a hefty amount of rock sauce on top
Rock sauce
Mmm…..rock sauce……
@killwill83 read the comment once more
Rock Sauce sounds nice.
Drowning in rock sauce.
Never thought I would see a Carrie by Europe reference... I LOVE IT
I’m surprised you didn’t catch the references to “The Shining” to which this video is essentially an homage, Justin!
Yes blatantly
I guess it’s a sad day for “The Shining” having been inspirational to these angsty bugs. I’m bored.
Danny!
Thank you!
@@crilf5830 Go and have lie down, then.
Love your vids Justin, just discovered them today. They feel natural, organic and unadulterated, keep on keeping on! ✌
I kept singing Justins intro at work today, it's so bloody catchy.
It’s all fun and games until Leto serves up the Kool-Aid 😬
Recently subscribed. Really enjoy the show and your musical insights.
You do realise who this “CZcamsr” is don’t you?
Really enjoying your channel, your so well educated. I absolutely loved your second album back in the day, got it on release. Still think it's an underrated masterpiece! Keep up the good work 👏
I LOVE your videos. Subbed about 15min ago and been going through your videos left and right. "Mmmmh, creepy, and there's weird people in it now." 🤣 I absolutely adore your spontaneity. You pick up your guitar, strum for the right notes, play a few chords, then continue. Big fan now.
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?
I'm so glad I've found your channel!
Immediately fell in love with your look and checked out the video which was also an amazing review. Thought you looked familiar and realized you were the lead singer of the darkness! What a ride, but i’m here to stay! Can’t wait to check out the rest of your content 🖤🍓
Their version of Rihanna's 'Stay' is worth a listen. I have seen them live and thought it was a really good gig. Feel a bit icky about them now though as there are so many rumours about Jared Leto - too many to ignore.
I agree, I am not even a 30stm fan but I love their version of "Stay"
I love the fact that you referenced Europe, the band. That made me laugh! Haha
The last time I really listened to 30 Seconds to Mars was This is War. I just remember it being one of the most massive sounding albums I'd heard at the time. Like they somehow got an entire stadium of people into the studio to sing background vocals.
I believe that’s almost what they did. They had a fan contest to have them sing on the album if I remember correctly. Loved that album. I saw them on that tour and it was borderline pathetic. The venue was half full and was almost entirely prepubescent girls. The band ran a ton of prerecorded tracks and the songs weren’t close to what the album sounded like. I had seen their videos for that album and they looked amazing. Maybe it was just an off show.
Love the way you articulate your views and interpretation of various songs, musicians and their videos. You do appear to have missed the references to Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’ movie though. Hugely entertaining nevertheless.
The video is very reminiscent of The Shining. The hallway, the Bear costume. I can't believe Justin missed that.
I was looking for this comment. I thought I can't be the only one who got that.
Cool little analysis, as usual.🤘🤘 Not really a 30 seconds to Mars fan, But I do like this song.
You are the best my dude, love these podcasts!
Hi, Justin, I loved your Catching Smoke reaction. Did you get around to listen to more King Gizzard songs? I can't stop listening to them, so awesome.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate Justin's incredible dress sense? Every episode he seems to wear something different and he ALWAYS makes it work!! The man has style for days!
Also, saw The Darkness back in 2011 when you played the Savoy in Cork. A small venue but you guys really give it everything. The energy was on par with like a Springsteen concert! Phenomenal gig. Thanks for coming and playing in my little town! Hope you enjoyed it. :)
Oh absolutely. Justin has a fantastic style and this outfit is so chic, loving the glasses 😍
Also, I think you are long overdue for another gig. They are better than ever and the cream of the crop of live gigs to experience. If it is possible, I highly recommend it 🤘 😉🤘
He is the first example I think of in applying the term "fancy lad" as a compliment.
Also saw The Darkness this year in Toronto, and they were absolutely fantastic - nailed their material technically while also bleeding stage presence for days.
@@richiep3520 Thank you for taking the time to reply! I would love to see them again if they came back to Ireland! From what I've heard, they've somehow only gotten better, which I can't even fathom how that's possible. They're still so painfully underrated!
Mr Hawkins. What a fantastic, Down to earth soul you are. Many thanks for your great music Wishing you the very best !
i just discovered this channel and i'm loving it LOL
it's sos intense when jared leto says "relax" got me hahahahahahaha
wit woo very sharp, where do you shop?? Great song and great video, the shining should be proud.
Jared is a great guy. I meet him in 2018 and he was super nice. My 84 year old mom danced with Jared Leto on stage. You can see it on CZcams under grandma Alabama. We are also in his music video for Hail to the Victor. I love him.
how'd you swing that? are you in the echelon?
@@hannahmitchell87 me mom and I signed release papers so he could use our images when we met him in 2018. We never dreamed he'd use them. We are also in the book America. He posts pictures of us every year on the thirty seconds to mars website. He has face timed us twice. He's just a sweet normal dude. Shannon too.
@@hannahmitchell87 the perks of membership
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?
This is absolute solid gold! Justin is living his best life and I’m loving it!
Great show Justin, Europe are some much more than 80's , been releasing many albums since The Final Countdown and just been getting better and better, in fact just toured the UK, as support, to venues like the 02, well worth investigating again, especially 2016 album War of Kings, with the track Nothin to Ya
Justin. Long time listener/watcher of your CZcams genius. PLEASE do a critique of the music of 10CC. I would love to hear your opinion, specifically on one of my favourite songs ever, "Dreadlock Holiday". Thanks for the content, as ever. Rhyl
Justin, you're a LEGEND! One of the last PROPER ROCK STARS left! Love the videos keep getting in there 💪👍
Musician.
Just gotta say, your choice of eyewear is always on point. The JMM Jagger is on my shortlist for pick-ups this year.
I like how "Leto" is pronounced in this video, will start using this now. 😅🤣 Very good video, you always have good things to say about these bands even if their music isn't your cup of tea. Always a fan of 30 Seconds to Mars. And yes, this man can sing.
P.S Another reason why I enjoy watching your videos is coz ot helps me expand my vocabulary, lol. 🤣
Loving those shades you're wearing!!!🤩
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 ❤
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!
@@Weeeeeeeeeg thank you so much for telling me 🤗😁
Sooo good Justin… I never know until the last line where you most likely (?) stand on ‘controversial ‘ groups/individuals. Always entertaining! 💚
I bloody love this channel, boss mate
Regardless of anyone's feelings for the song, the video is a brilliant piece of work with obvious references to the shining and horror in general, and also uses tricks like in fight club by cutting in alternate images from the video (girl covered in blood and some others if I remember correctly) for a very brief frame or two to subliminally make it more horrifying, and does in in time with the drum rolls. Really enjoy the channel keep it up! P.s. my girlfriend thought it was Justin Hawkins: Right Again!
It's about morbin time for this reaction to finally happen.
Good chat there. Maybe talk about Shannon sometime. Very energetic drummer!
Your analysis as always is impeccable.
I saw 30stm about 10 years ago and Jared was one of the best show men I’ve seen. He really got the crowd rocking. I only knew one of their songs. Great live band they literally got about 100 members of the audience up onstage with them until there was no space on stage for anyone else and then they kept rocking with all those people up there. Call them emo or whatever but they are a genuine rock and roll live band
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.
Justin, you're killing me over here! 😆
Man I really dig your show saw the darkness in St. Paul man awhile ago you guys were great
It's good to see J J Lehto got a new career after the motor racing.
Absolutely loved the first 3 albums. Have seen them live a couple of times and Jared truly knows how to control a crowd and have them go on a journey with him. Shannon is a fantastic drummer. But Tomo leaving the band was a huge loss and it has not been the same without him.
Agreed. The only song of the album after tomo left I can actually stomach is remedy
Tomo is still around it’s Matt that left
@@brionyb4007 tomo is still with the band Matt was the one that left
@@michelleschreiber0716 Tomo hasn’t been a part of the band for a few years now. At least not long since America or whatever it was called. He left before / around the time that came out
@@michelleschreiber0716 Tomo left nearly 4.5 years ago
I currently have the coof, your dulcet tones and pleasant demeanor are a balm which soothes better than the drugs I'm currently on. Thanks, Dr. Hawkins
Just a comment about The Darkness: Saw you guys in 2004 and you were so fun and also so musically precise. ❤
When do we start the Justin Hawkins cult? Might not be a Greek island or anything but sure we could take over Great Yarmouth of something 😁
I don’t miss these OTT emo epics. I had Audioslave, QOTSA and the Darkness (might have heard of them) during this era 😎
Saw them once years ago...Jared was vocally unbelievable, he did even a couple acoustic ones...to be honest one of the ten best vocal performance I ever listened live. And I'm 48, trust me when I say I had my share of live music. Not really into their recent production and I do not know how is Leto voice these days, but when I was them in 2009 he was just great.
No denying the dude is talented AF but the music they're writing is whack
Agreed! Saw them at T in the Park and the bugger came on in a kilt!!
@@andrewgarcia3136 You pretty much nailed it. He's got all of the makings of a rock star (the looks, the showmanship, the VOICE) except their catalogue of music is sadly lacking. And I am saying that as someone who actually likes their music.
@@TheMuirie what? 🙄🤣🤣🤣oh my gosh 😝
@@andrewgarcia3136 what are they writing now anyway? I mean I can just go to you tube n see tho 🤣
Insightful as always.
Hahahah true laughs here. I missed you talk about the drum part in the beginning. I played it so many times on guitar hero
Problem with "Method" acting is when you treat the cast and crew around like crap because you refuse to get out of character
The problem with stupid people is that they write stupid comments.
I believe we witnessed a missed opportunity of a cut to Justin smeared in emo black eyeliner whilst wearing head-to-toe Gucci
your best vid yet JH ;o)
Did everyone else LOL at this singing intro - surely one of the best yet? Near perfection!
Has JH ever done a Devin Townsend video... that's would be excellent
Oh wow! How I have not missed the whole emo movement/genre/angst-sessions from the noughties..
LOL! "He's looking into my soul, and saying stuff that's emotional." Brilliant and hilarious in that context.
Oh my gad. Never laughed harder than I did as you pulled Carrie out of that “whoa”.
I met Jared Leto a couple of years back while rock climbing in Yosemite National Park . He was so nice, laid back and easy going. Don't know why so many people dislike him. I'm a women and felt completely comfortable around him. We talked about music, family, nature and meditation. Glad I got the chance to hang with him and his climbing buddies for part of the day. Good times, great memories!!
I mean grooming underage girls and having a cult to name some. How old are you ? And did you drink any shared beverages from him? Kool aid?
their self-titled album from 2002 is great in many ways. unfortunately both Leto and the band became insufferable after their second release, both musically and personally. he's got some singing chops, but his creative choices put me off and i just can't listen to him sing without rolling my eyes.
@@benjamindavis4974 agreed! A Beautiful Lie is a phenomenal record, and This is War is pretty good too. Everything after was trash, and his messiah complex was in full swing by that time.
Right on. The first one was a trippy album I listened to it non-stop when it came out. Second was had some good cuts. The rest are trash.
Yeah This is War was the last good one IMO. After that I lost interest. And the Messiah stuff is just too much.
I agree, the first album is balls to the wall amazing, front to back. Unfortunately the band had decided to go in a different direction. But man is that first album good
Jared Leto isn't even the best Jared in Morbius - Mark Kermode
I saw them when they first toured the UK with this and they were awesome. I got to meet the band afterwards and they were all nice & chatty.
Love your channel Justin 😊 Would love you to do a fashion segment. Maybe an Alessandro Michelle analysis. I love what he’s done with Gucci since becoming CD. Jared Leto is a good looking guy, but I’m not sure how nice he is on the inside ?😮. Loving the Tom Ford ensemble ❤
You should react to Sam Ryder if you haven’t already, insane voice!
I'm not a fan of this track but I do have a soft spot for the 'Closer to the edge'. That's a 30 seconds to mars song, not a book by Bono.
I see what you did there.
Justin you are awesome, man. Can you send me those shades??
🤣 love you Justin 💓 so miss British humor. Counting down to your gig at The Powerstation in Auckland next week 😘
My wife worked as head of promotion for a radio station and had to deal with him on one occasion. She DOES NOT like that guy. Just a pain in the neck diva. Gonna have to wait for Morbius to hit streaming she dislikes that guy so much🤣
6:40 flooorrr uh ahhhsssggg hahahaha i love you man
Oh gosh, 30stm was everything to me when i was younger and then Jared's ego had to destroy it all... But on well, that's growing up: finding out your idols are jerks, that your taste in music can change...
That "Whooaoooaooooh!" is also in Bad Habit by The Offspring, at the first break about a minute and a half in. A bit higher in pitch but the intervals (and "lyrics") are the same.
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.
Never have and never will give this band a chance, I just can’t see past the countless rumours about Jared Leto, ie treating people like shit being a massive diva but most of all the sexual abuse allegations.
Never heard anything about that
Yeah ..there aren't any allegations what are you talking about
@innerbloom 😂
@l.c girls that are 18 and up are legal what allegations as long as they’re legal age it doesn’t matter if they are underage then that’s a totally different story
@l.c exactly it's fanfiction not true.. Dylan is also just jealous and a nobody now
Not going to lie I loved your first album and I only know songs from that one I was at the big day out when you came down here and and were huge in Australia I enjoy your videos if I was to get back into your music what darkness record other than the first one would recommend I start with
Whole Easter is Cancelled LP streaming thing. with Rock and roll deserves to die.
There is nothing funny about being in real cults after you've been in one.
@@violinmke I am not talking about cults
Hi fellow marsupial, they’re all great to be honest, I even like the divisive second album. I’d suggest listening to them in chronological order for more of an overarching band narrative, or cut to the chase and listen to their new release Motorheart, it’s great! If you like it, they’re touring here in October too 🇦🇺
Perfect advice from Luisa! Get yourself caught up to the current fantastic album Motorheart and enjoy the forthcoming tour! Go you good Aussie! 🇦🇺
Come on, Justin. I’m dying for some videos about your favourite clothing items! You’ve got some cracking items and always look great. Talk about them please! Pleeeeease?! Fanx 😁
Looking cool tonight Justin love the look x
Darling, The Shining… have you never seen The Shining? They’re just boy band aping The Shining.
There's an AMAZING feel of LIMINAL SPACE here as they enter this hotel. Just fantastic empty, lonely, and still, unmoving interior imagery that exists when there's not been anyone around for a bit of time. Man, the guys that shot this video ABSOLUTELY nailed the feeling of Liminal Space. On a side note, is Jared theatrical? Yes, and amen. Emo? No, not even close. The only band that has SOMEWHAT recreated the Space Rock theme SINCE 30STM is the band Starset. Different sound for sure, but space theme in the sound and lyrics? Yep. Still prefer 30STM's take though. It's not as obvious in their videos. Or maybe I'm just particular :)
So that Joker fella was in a band before the movies... Lives n learns. Thanks Justin 👍
What Justin said about the abbreviation that's spot on. Couldn't put my finger on it but that's it . Have liked some emo songs but was apprehensive b4 I listened to some things.
This is one of the few times I’ve been relieved a reviewer has interrupted a song so much that I’ve been unable to take in the song
Might make people laugh but I seriously didn't know until today that Jared Leto was the singer for 30 Seconds to Mars. I literally thought they were 2 different guys. lol
And I was there when this band was popular and still didn't know. Interesting.
Probably because I never cared about the band. When their videos came on I stopped paying attention. They just never did anything for me. Back then I was into MCR, Green Day, Alkaline Trio and so forth.
LOVE the “Carrie” reference! Forgot about that gem.
Man, you were spot on with that Europe comparison!
To me Jared Leto comes across as totally unrelatable and unlikable, his success baffles me.
Yes I agree, many people would say the same about Mr. Rogers however I disagree with that
Leto is your prototypical douche. It's the ugly stuff juxtaposed against the pretty stuff about human beings which make us interesting and relatable. The same applies to music and art.
His acting is meh. His music sucks, totally empty, flavorless drivel with melodramatic lyrics and pitched and pocketed/quantized everything. Perfectly tuned, melodramatic garbage. Completely uninteresting, predictable, by the numbers pre adolescent trash.
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
Nah yer wrong mate. The song is vapid, childish drivel. I mean that in a bad way.
"Relevant"
Looking sharp Justin 😎👌🏻
Ahhh.. I remember that tune.. catchy!
Looks like a shot from the movie Midsommar 🤔 They should have just called themselves The Cult 😭
I think the 80s band The Cult would probably take issue with that
You're really good at spotting melodies.. haha
I’d join the cult of J Hawk!
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!
campo pequeno or pavilhao atlantico?
I saw them live and they were awesome. really awesome.
Did I just a see the most incognito flex & troll at about 9:12 mark ? If yes … I loved it !
