30 Seconds To Mars – zespół prawie rockowy, założony pewnego dnia przez znudzonego swoim dotychczasowym życiem aktora, byłego modela (i wiele, wiele innych) – Jareda Leto i zawsze pozostającego w cieniu geniuszu i urody swojego brata Shannona Leto. Na początku grali we dwóch, Shannon na perkusji, a Jared na całej reszcie, jednak po jakimś czasie do zespołu dołączył Matt Wachter – odwieczny fan wokalisty. który z racji tego, że nie umiał policzyć strun w zwykłej gitarze (jest ich aż 6!) postanowił grać na basowej, która ma tylko cztery. Lecz problemy wciąż spadały na niczego nie spodziewający się zespół. Pewnego strasznego dnia Jared L. złamał paznokieć, gdy grał na gitarze. Teraz trzeba było znaleźć nowego gitarzystę. Matt postanowił zadzwonić po swojego bardzo bliskiego przyjaciela, który opanował trudną sztukę liczenia do sześciu – Tomo Milicevica. I tym sposobem powstał zespół.Nazwa zespołu
Nikt, nawet najbardziej napalone fanki Jareda Leto nie odgadły jeszcze spod jakiej latarni wzięła się nazwa zespołu. Są pewne podejrzenia, że któryś z członków wymyślił nazwę w drodze po swój ulubiony batonik, będąc świadomym, że droga zajmie mu całe trzydzieści sekund.
W 2007 r. grupę opuścił Matt Wachter. Po tym straszliwym wydarzeniu na stronie zespołu natychmiast pojawiły się podziękowania i podobne brednie, które napisał sam Matt, bo reszta zespołu nawet nie zauważyła, że odszedł, każdy zajęty był sobą. Niepocieszony tym faktem basista wykorzystał starą jak świat śpiewkę o rodzinie i poszedł się upić. Warto zauważyć, że jego nieobecność odkryto dopiero kilka sekund przed koncertem, gdy Jared liczył członków. W pośpiechu wzięto z ulicy pierwszego lepszego przechodnia i wsadzono mu w rękę gitarę. Tak do zespołu dołączył Tim Kelleher.
Tajna sekta założona przez Jareda, która pod przykrywką fanclubu wykorzystuje członków do morderczej pracy przy roznoszeniu ulotek lub robieniu sztucznego tłumu na koncertach. Mówi się, że jej członkowie giną w niewyjaśnionych okolicznościach. Głownie nastolatki uważające, że Jared Leto jest: "Najbardziej hot, sexi, hot and hot na świecie! Ożeni się ze mną i będziemy mieli szesnastkę dzieci!"
