This is Life on Mars

Interview with Shannon Leto.

“If I could ask a fan a question, I would ask them… ooh that’s a good one. I have to think about it to make it good. If I could ask a fan a question…mho. It’s a funny because we talk to our fans so much so it’s not that uncommon for us to ask them any question at all. I would ask them why. Why are you here? What brings you here? What is it about all of this that is so special to you? That’s what I’d be interested in.”

Musically we are always trying to do something original, different. We don’t use our influences the way other bands might. We try to make the music sound like it stands on its own feet, instead of using other bands as a template. We’ll never make the same records twice, as this one is worlds apart from the first album. A lot of bands are scared to change the formula, but you change and aren’t always the same person. We make music that we love and that we want to hear, if others like it, it’s ok, that’s the beauty of music. If you don’t like it you don’t have to listen to it, if you do, that’s ok, too. 

He persists through everything, and I learn a lot constantly with him in day-to-day. He’s very funny. We definetly have a good relationship.

Definitely, there are lots of battles and fights, where the people have to fight for what they believe.

Having complete no talent is an art.
