I am a new fan and in 3 days I think I have listened to the new album dozens of times! I can't get over how good it is! Plus Jared is an actor which makes it that much sweeter. I was wondering how everyone started to like the band. I came across them watching a muchmusic segment on him dating lohen, lol, anyway I was like "i like him!" and no way he is in a band, checked it out and now I am obsessed!!!! He and the band are my new favorite thing!!!!

its kind of a weird story. i was watching much music when they were on...it wasnt love at first sight though. i watched the video Attack but i didnt pay attention. a few days later that tune in the beginning came to mind. i couldnt stop thinking about it. i downloaded the song and Capricorn. downloaded a few more songs from their first and second albums. then i decided to buy ABL...

I killed Jared's parents but before that they were all "Did you know my son's in a band?"  and then I shot them in the face.

laugh.gif I saw that thing on Much. Of course the stupid VJ calls him Jared Leeto but whatever. That little thing was retarded, even though they did have Attack playing and clips from both that video and the interview. Ick that its connected to Lohan, though.

Anywho. I actually came to the band through a thing I found about Shannon. Then I realised he was related to Jared and that 30 was their band and lo and behold, I've made it here. I got the s/t a couple years back and then really started listening to them again when ABL came out.

Well. At least Much is good for something! Welcome to the universe!

Okay so I briefly heard about 'Jared Leto's band' and totally overlooked it. Another actor turned singer? *sigh*

Then last year my Canadian friend told me they were really good and to check them out.. Now by far my favorite band! Love at first listen? <3

Because my best friend's totally obsessed with Jared Leto.
Well, yeah but I came to her house one day and she was playing Edge of the Earth and I kind of passed it off. Then one day I was bored with all the music on my computer and tried to find something new, their name came to mind. Then I came across some music and got hooked.

Funny thing is she didn't listen to any of their other music until I wouldn't shut up about them. I was all, "ZOMG! I found <insert 30STM related thing> today!"

I also completely forgot that Jared was an actor until like, yesterday. My friend would destroy me if she knew that...

It's good to hear even though MuchMusic barely plays 30STM, they have helped a few new fans find the band. Now every one needs to request their damn video!

My daughter and I had gone to see the movie The Core. At the end during the credit roll we heard the song Echelon and fell in love with it. We stayed to see who the song was by went home and looked them on the net and so now here we are.

This crazy mothafucka,
He dragged me into his truck,
I thought I was done,
A stab to the back,
The base of the skull,
Sever my spinal cord bitch,
Or let me go 'n suck my dick,
But no, he put on this band,
And they were good,
what happened to that fool,
I don't know,
But I think he's got money,
I'mma find him and shank him,
Because he was such a fuckin' cunny.
But thanks for the cool tunes,
You crazy motha'fuckin' foo.

My friend kept telling me how excited she was about seeing them in concert, and was counting down the days and all that jazz. So i finally said "okay-let me hear them" and the rest is history.

and Welcome to the Universe Jambee!! Glad you like their music! Don't forget to check out their first album (self-titled). If you have any questions check out the thread for newbies.

I was in my 9th grade year and my science teacher had us watch the crap-ass movie "The Core" and Echelon played during the credits and I liked the song so I looked it up and found 30STM.\m/

I am new to the forum and am a fairly new fan - but I'm beyond impressed on many levels and am hooked.

I came across 30STM when I was looking for information about Gavin Rossdale's new band Institute.  When I was on Yahoo Music, 30STM was listed as one of the bands with similar music.  I knew that Jared Leto was in a band, but I must admit that I probably discredited the band based on other actors-turned-singers feeble attempts that are almost embarrassing.  (Sincerest apologies to Jared sad.gif )  But once I listened to the music - it was clear that there was more to this band than some lark of vanity.  I couldn't get enough of it, and found myself searching for anything that I could about the band - I even stumbled upon a great podcast interview!  The musicianship, song writing, and haunting/powerful vocals really impressed me, but the obvious passion that exists for the music as well as the interest and dedication that the band demonstrates to their fans is unparalled - at least in my experience.  That is what has led me to register as an Echelon member and learn as much as I can about the band so that I can do what I can to help spread the word.  I can't wait until tour dates are released so that I can see 30STM play live.  My only regret is that I didn't discover the band sooner - certainly my loss.
