30 Seconds To Mars In Alternative Press Magazine

Finally received my copy of the new Alternative Press featuring 30 Seconds to Mars. Their feature story was really well written and encompassed their entire history.

What was particularly poigiant and made me admire this band even more (if that is even possible) was this bit:

"[Miličević] finds it laughable that anyone thinks anyone in the band is rich. "It's not like because Jared Leto is the singer of the band that we're all flying first-class, eating sushi and staying in five-star hotels. We don't stay in hotels. We sleep on the bus-Jared included. I have friends who are like, "Dude, you're in fuckin' 30 Seconds to Mars. You gotta have money now." But that's not the case. Me and Shannon are the same, and yeah, Jared is doing okay, but it's not like he lives in some mansion. We play these big shows, and I go home to my 200-square-foot studio apartment that I share with my girlfriend and brother and eat ramen noodles."

Some may find this surprising. I think a lot of people assume that with the kind of success that bands like 30 Seconds to Mars have accomplished that they are suddenly sitting pretty in life when nothing could be further from the truth. It makes one appreciate what these guys are willing to sacrifice all to be able to create and share their music with the masses.
