30 SECONDS TO MARS AN ODD TASTE OF CHAOS?

30 Seconds To Mars is touring with the likes of The Used, Senses Fail, Chiodos, Saosin, and Aiden for the Taste Of Chaos, and stylistically they seem like the odd band out to many observers. The group arguably might be the most commercially successful of the bunch, which for some tours could stick another wedge between them and their tour mates.

The band won the respect of Saosin, who says Jared is working hard at the venues way before the band hits stage. Senses Fail singer Buddy was asked about their relationship with bands on the tour and how Jared Leto and crew are fitting in despite seemingly being the most stylistically different band on the tour.

“Good. I mean it’s fine. I mean they are. They’re just….They’re a little different. They come from a different place, and they’re older too. Some of them are almost forty years old, thirty-seven, thirty-five, and we’re all like twelve years old. I’m twenty-three, so I guess they would seem like they’re the odd band out, but it’s not really like that. But yeah, I’m really close with Aiden, and basically all the bands. We’ve made friends with everyone. That’s not a problem for us on tour.”

In previous years, fans who came early stayed for every band, and we asked Buddy if that was the case on this tour.

“Yeah, I think so. Some people leave after 30 Seconds To Mars, but that’s because you know they’ve sold…you know they’re a platinum band. So you’ve got a lot of people just coming to see them, and they don’t know any of the other bands, so they’ll leave after them, well, maybe not a lot of people.”

He said that a majority stick around for all the bands, on the Rockstar Taste Of Chaos 2007. The Rockstar Taste Of Chaos closes shop April 6 in Calgary, Alberta in Canada. Senses Fail return to Europe to play festival and club shows starting later this month in Cologne, Berlin, London, Paris, Amsterdam and other cities. The band is touring in support of their latest album on Vagrant Records, Still Searching. For all the latest check out sensesfail.com.
