Despite rumors to the contrary, 30 Seconds to Mars is NOT calling it quits. We are incredibly happy, healthy and very much together here, in Los Angeles, recording our new record. Besides this ridiculously overblown lawsuit (courtesy of Virgin/EMI), we are having one of the most inspiring, wonderful and exciting times that we've experienced to date. (More on that later...)

Beyond this distraction, we are so incredibly grateful to all of you around the world that have supported us so passionately. We would never consider stopping this just yet. These past few phenomenal years have been beyond imaginable and we owe every single bit of it to you. Thank you all for that!

So, as you may have heard we are being sued by our former record company for the ridiculously oversized, totally unrealistic and pretty silly (but slightly clever) sum of $30,000,000. Insane? Yea that's what we said too.

A little history...

We had been signed to our record contract for 9 years. Basically, under California law, where we live and signed our deal, one cannot be bound to a contract for more than 7 years. This is widely known by all the record companies and has been for years. In fact, so aware of it are they that they desperately try to make deals outside of California whenever possible. It is a law that protects people from lengthy, unfair, career-spanning contracts. This law also gave us the legal right to explore other possible opportunities.

Yes we have been sued by EMI. But NOT for failing to deliver music or for 'quitting'. We have been sued by the corporation quite simply because roughly 45 days ago we exercised our legal right to terminate our old, out of date contract, which, according to the law is null and void.

We terminated for a number of reasons, which we won't go into here (we'd rather not air any dirty laundry) but basically our representatives could not get EMI to agree to make a fair and reasonable deal.

A few things to note...

If you think the fact that we have sold in excess of 2 million records and have never been paid a penny is pretty unbelievable, well, so do we. And the fact that EMI informed us that not only aren't they going to pay us AT ALL but that we are still 1.4 million dollars in debt to them is even crazier. That the next record we make will be used to pay off that old supposed debt just makes you start wondering what is going on. Shouldn't a record company be able to turn a profit from selling that many records? Or, at the very least, break even? We think so.

That, and other issues, like the new regime at EMI firing most of the people we know and love, wanting to place advertisements on our website, EMI owning 100 percent of the masters of our record...forever, and basically having a revolving door of regimes at the company made it easy to not want to continue as is.

As the result of this takeover - and the firing of over 2000 employees - we have lost many of the people that were near and dear to us at Virgin/EMI and crucial to the success of 30 Seconds to Mars. A few of the great ones are still there, but it is hardly the same company we have known. After more than 5 regime changes in 9 years you'd think we would be used to the inconsistency, but the team that took the journey together for A Beautiful Lie was a very very special group of people and it's a huge loss that so many of them are gone. (Quick fact: There is not a single employee at Virgin Records who was working at the company when we signed.)

FYI Virgin/EMI was not required to make this lawsuit public or to list such an egregiously and stupendously large amount of mullah. In fact, they were not required to set any price even close to this. We did not want to take this public, but we felt it best to explain our point of view to you, our
friends and fans, in hope that you can better understand our point of view.

We would always do our best to avoid a fight, but sometimes it's important to stand up for what you believe in. We hope that by doing what's right we can help to change things for the better, for ourselves and possibly others.

P.S. We will always remain grateful to the people at Virgin/EMI who were so integral to our success. And we hope that, above all, we can find a resolution to this in as civil and kind a way as possible.

There are certainly more important things out there in the world to spend time and energy on.

To be continued...

Sourced
  • My coolest job was when I was 12 and I was a dishwasher at the Three Pigs Bar-B-Que for $2.50 an hour. All the fleabags and stoners worked there, so that's where I wanted to be.
    • Detour, November 1996.
  • I always had an understanding and a connection and a good relationship with gay men and women. And I don't want to censor myself about the fucking subject because I don't have a problem with gay or straight or any of that."
    • OUT, 2004
  • All of my roles have had their own unique set of challenges, and I enjoy that in some perverse, masochistic way. I'm always dying though! Maybe I have some kind of fetish.
    • Nylon Guys, 2005
  • I thought the dolls' pussies were really beautiful tonight. Um. *gives head a small shake* I mean... Uh. You know what I mean.
    • EMAs, 2005
  • No one shakes their bon-bon like I do, except Ricky [Martin].
    • Interview with Ink19, November 2005
  • It's your country, I don't make the rules. I'm just...visiting. Jesus.
    • Lisbon, Pavilhão Atlântico, 2008

Unsourced

  • For us, things like make-up are just for the stage. I'm not sitting here right now at the interview wearing lipstick or something, or eyeliner, or you know, or a bra for that matter.
  • The idea that I would ever end up on David Letterman or Jay Leno is horrifying. I am such a freak in comparison to most other twenty-five-year-old guys. I have no idea what other people are thinking. I'm not really in touch.
  • We made a record over the past three years, we worked on this album called, "A Beautiful Lie," and it's really just a collection, during the past three years. It's a really personal record, it's brutally honest. It's about what it is to be human and to love, and live- life, death and everything in between.
  • The first record [self-titled] was my brother and I, and this record [A Beautiful Lie] has changed because Tomo and Matt are part of the band, part of the experience, and we are happy to be sharing IT with them.
  • Well, my brother and I have been playing music since we were kids together, and in a sense it has always been 30 Seconds to Mars. We've always wanted to do something that was different, creative and unique as possible. It was kind of a... different take on things musically. We wanted to stand alone, as strongly as we could. And Matt we've been playing with for about... not literally--[band giggles]--but we've been playing with for about 3 1/2 years [Shannon looks at Matt- "I can't believe it's been three years."] or longer, and Tomo has been with us for a couple years.
  • Uh, we are 30 Seconds To Mars and it is our...ungodly pleasure, and privilege - we're grateful beyond believe - to be the "Artists of the Day." Thank you so much. (Tomo, Shannon, Matt -"Thank you")
  • I feel fortunate just to do different things, you know. We were born in Bossier City, Louisiana, grew up very poor. And to be able to come out and to make films & to make music, it's just a tremendous opportunity. I'm just grateful to do both.
  • This is a song... called "The Kill." But don't be scared, it's a nice song. About losing your mind.
  • "It's your radio station. Not theirs." I think that should be your tag line.
  • I heard you could meet really hot girls there. But I don't know! I don't go on. But I did have a guy that was squatting & pretending to be me. And I had thought I gotten him kicked off, but I heard at the last count that there were about 30-something people pretending to be me on MySpace. So all those guys, you are sick, you need help, and get a therapist or something.
  • I wouldn't call us "emo." I mean, call us whatever you want. But I'd rather be called "polka."
  • Dem Franchize Boyz. I know who Franchize Boyz are, but who's Dem? Dem? Which one is Dem?
  • Hold on, dude. It's Britney Spears. (puts on phone headset and pretends to talk to Spears) Britney--Britney? Don't have time for you right now, I'm busy. Stop calling me. Jeez.
  • I want you to repeat after me! War [crowd repeats] ! Peace [crowd repeats] ! Poverty [crowd repeats] ! Charity [crowd repeats] ! George Bush! [crowd starts booing because of George Bush's name being mentioned] It's a good thing that tonight, there's an alternative. Here it is. (points at screen displaying nominees)
    • 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards in Portugal
  • I don't think is for children, but I think if you went home and looked at the video games that your kids are playing, you'd be much more shocked.
    • About the movie "Requiem for a Dream"
  • I showed up in L.A. with $500 and a backpack and I stayed at a shelter, so nobody handed me anything. I worked for every single thing that I have.
  • High school is a dark place; I hung out with freaks.
  • It's not like I'm hanging out at shopping malls or going to celebrity golf tournaments. I'm so in my own little world. I got my dog, my music, my brother, a couple of friends.
  • I could care less about anybody knowing who I am, but I realize this is part of the game. Maybe if I really hated this whole public thing, I would go do plays in Hoboken.
  • All those reports that I sleep in my closet. I don't know how people get that. People are so obsessed with what you do at home.
  • You know you're really famous when there's rumors about you being gay.
  • Put it on Wikipedia.
  • Teens are always shown as one dimensional. They're stereotyped. When I was in high school, I cared about more than getting a date or making the team.
  • If I was ever a teen idol, I'd kill myself.
  • I don't like onions, but I like onion rings. What's up with that?
  • I knew what I was walking into, and I knew that I was going to get my ass kicked, and it would have been much easier to just continue making films, but I've been making music since I was a kid and I certainly wasn't going to let that stop me from pursuing my dreams...
  • I never look at myself as a closet actor wanting to make music or a closet musician wanting to act -- I'm very proud to do both and I don't put one above the other, I'm very grateful and excited by both opportunities -- it's really a unique opportunity to do both.
  • I wanted to be a visual artist because I grew up around a lot of painters and photographers and had a very artistic upbringing. And I fantasized about being a drug-dealer when I was a kid. I thought it would be a good opportunity; I knew that the market would be strong. Is that bizarre?
  • I was very much in my own world, never the popular kid. But I had a great family, a great brother and mother.
  • As artists, it's our job to delve into the uncomfortable, the difficult and the challenging.
  • I'm pretty masochistic. I kill myself for my craft - Literally
  • I stole a lot when I was a kid, but I wouldn't steal one candy; I'd take the whole carton. I also used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house.
  • One memory I have is there were a lot of dogs at this one place and my brother got in a horrific fight with a dog and the dog bit his toe off. They became fast friends after that. He lost a toe and gained a friend.
  • I take computers practically apart and put them back together. I have a supercomputer I built over the years out of different computers.
  • Years ago, there was a rumor going around that I was dead because I was working in Ireland. Once I got back, people who seemed very upset would come up to me and say, "We thought you were dead!"
  • I was never interested in 'Teen Beat' like roles. I just wanted to work.
  • That's what the problem is with the Internet, this great escape that we have, everything automatically becomes fact!
  • I spent some time in prison. Just the normal stuff. Listen, I've had so much edge in my life, I don't need to contrive any. I'm not gonna front like Mr Angst.
  • I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theatre. Just having the art-communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn't a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression. We didn't try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth.
  • I've always had a very strong interest in Asian culture, It always struck a deep chord in me, and some of my favorite films are Kurosawa's 'Kagemusha' and 'Ran,' and Bertolucci's 'The Last Emperor.' And I thought that the passion of the people, the history and the culture would be a really strong foundation for the song ["From Yesterday"].
  • Um... I have a wolf. And his name is none of your business. He doesn't like the press.
  • I've always liked Saturn. But I also have some sympathy for Pluto because I heard it's been downgraded from a planet, and I think it should remain a planet. Once you've given something planetary status it's kind of mean to take it away.
  • She thinks I'm Davey Havok! (a random girl comes up and starts hugging Jared and says something to the affect "AFI is such a great band! I can't believe I'm actually hugging the lead singer".)
  • You know, we got the family...and then obviously, we have some fucking stepchildren or some shit.
