I'm watching 30 seconds to mars digital summit. Its where they got their fans to participate in singing parts of the album. Instead of using a choir or background singers, they got their fans involved. How amazing is that? Its like if you participated you'll feel that you're part of the album. I think its completely mind-blowing.
I dont doubt why they have so gained so many fans, all of whom are so dedicated that when the album leaked out on youtube before its release, it got removed the next day because the fans were making so much noise about it. They are an incredible band with nothing but love for music and love for fans. They make the most epic sounding kind of music and they have one of the best ever lead vocals to front their band. There is no denying the charm and talent that Jared has.
Echeleon is what they call their fan base, and I'm part of it. For those who visit their website for the first time, it might seem a little intense and scary because there are symbols and all sorts of things but once you get used to it, you;re fine. I got intimidated at first when I got to their website. I thought it was some occult group but hey, its amazing how much love there is between the band and their fans. Vice versa.
So kudos to great music, great singing, great lyrics, great talent, great hearts and great 30 seconds to mars :D
