INTO THE WILD BLOG #2 – SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2010

February 25th, 2010 · 26 Comments · Uncategorized

Been truckin around the UK and Wales and the shows have been incredible so far. So grateful to all of you who have come and spent your nights with us. Can’t wait to come back!

I took the train to Manchester on Saturday afternoon.

At night over 11,000 people showed up to make it our biggest show so far. My friend and amazing designer Lina Osterman made these jeans for me which are a LOT more comfortable than they look. :)

And for those of you who missed the show, this is what our set list looked like.

After the show I went in to check out the arena and see what a mess we made but we have an amazing crew and the evidence was gone in no time.

We played some old songs tonight in Cardiff from the very first record. I did Echelon acoustic from the balcony high above everyone on the floor. And then we all played Buddha for Mary from the B stage. It was like seeing long lost friends. Fun.

This Is War has really been one of the high points in the set. This is what it looked like from our soundboard tonight.

It was one of our hard workin gtr techs’ bday…we called him to the dressing room for an “emergency meeting” instead of a “sit down” he got a cake!

Searched high and low to no avail for bday candles but luckily at the last min we found one in our dressing room. Vanilla scented too.

One more day till Wembley!

P.S. We’re en route to London with our camera guy riding in the luggage bay for some reason…long story!

    Hello, I’m admiring you and “30 seconds to Mars”. Your songs are fantastic, I very like it, because they are with so deep meaning and they inspire me. Jared, you so talented, beautiful and unusual person, I wish you to be happy and further write same unforgettable songs and act in good films. Your new album is very good and I hope that “Into the wild” will pass with success for you. Sorry, if I have some mistakes in my massage, because I little know English and thank you, Jared, because you change me…Я люблю тебя!

    I love your music <3

  • Bruce

    How was the show at O2 in Dublin on Friday 16th Feb? Met Shannon in Dublin city center and checked out some of your music, quite nice.

    That was so sweet of you guys, the surprise cake! And I agree with Katherine, I can't wait to hear the story about the Camera guy.

    You guys probably have a lot of stories to tell, don't you? Some that I bet you guys DON'T want the world to hear. Like you hearing about the femme-hawk thing. ;)

    I love seeing how human you guys really are, rather than the Gods that people make you out to be. Or, that if you are Gods, that we can all "come into the pantheon" and have that same status, if only we wanted it. For a while now, on twitter and such, you have just been the stereotypical re-tweet machines that people expect of celebrities that are too damn pleased with themselves. It's good to come here for a refreshing break and see that you exist as your own entity.

    I would love to hear more than you want the entire world to hear one day, but that's not my privilege, it's your right. I'm sure you can find me on twitter or my email though.

    u sink them all – all those people that know and care or just love music more than they love their ego – and urs isnt even real anymore – its based on fake bullshit – dude – so if ur going to have an ego make it real – u sink all of them – and u were told – u knew – and that makes u a pretty big asshole jared – larger than life asshole – and i already went back to my old job – so leave me alone now –

  • Daniela_0501

    Nice of you guys.

  • AsidLake

    It very difficult to show your interest and respect to a famous person and not to look like maniac=) I hope you understand what I’m talking about)
    Though there are so many people from all the world that talk to you and appeal to you and ask, and love and etc. that my shy and modest thoughts can be totally lost among all this thousand words. And actually I’ll talk to myself-)
    I can't confess that it won't suits me. rather strange and illogical choice)))

  • Stasya

    I'm not the cleverest person in the world and can't explain my thoughts completely right or clear, anyway, I'll try. Just want you to know that 30stM affect me and my mind, I like it. Your music helps me to live and believe in my dreams, your music helps me when I feel too sad and lose heart. Every your song helps me to find myself. Don't know what I would do without you.
    Please, don't fade away. Stay the same.
    Love you guys!
