Hayley Williams And Jared Leto Celebrate Lady Gaga’s Birthday With “Bad Romance” Covers

Mon Mar 29 2010 by Becky Bain
Birthday girl Lady Gaga must be really feeling the love this week, especially since other musicians are sending their personal b-day presents to the singer in the form of covering her biggest hits. (Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, after all.) Paramore's Hayley Williams uploaded a twitvid of her singing "Bad Romance", accompanying herself on piano, and 30 Seconds to Mars recorded a darker rock version of the hit song at BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. Listen to both covers after the jump, and we'll prepare you by saying that one is the perfect b-day gift to bring joy to Gaga's heart, and the other one should come with a return receipt. More »

Kerrang! Awards Prove That At Least A Few People Who Aren’t EMI’s Lawyers Still Care About 30 Seconds To Mars

Fri Aug 22 2008 by Maura

Last night, the troubled British rock magazine Kerrang! held its annual awards show, and the slate of nominees and winners represented something of a slight stylistic shift for the mag, which has probably noticed the circulation gains experienced by Metal Hammer and adjusted its coverage accordingly. Out go My Chemical Romance and 30 Seconds To Mars; in come the Dillinger Escape Plan and, um, 30 Seconds To Mars, which was the “big” winner on the evening because it won two awards (Best International Band and Best Single). Full list of winners after the jump.

Jared Leto To EMI: F U, Pay Me (And Those Other Dudes In The Band)

Mon Aug 18 2008 by Maura

Late Friday, EMI announced that it was suing the Jared Leto-led outfit 30 Seconds To Mars, whose last album for the label’s Virgin subsidiary came out in 2005, for $30 million dollars because of breach of contract issues. While the exact amount of damages sought was probably the result of “cuteness” more than anything, EMI’s grievance seemed somewhat solid–after all, the band “repudiated” its contract, on which it had one album left, last month. In response to the suit, the former Jordan Catalano penned an open letter to his fans, his band’s former label, and any other parties who might be interested.

Jared Leto Finally Acting A Bit Like Jordan Catalano Again

Thu Apr 3 2008 by anthonyjmiccio

When heartbroken friends sigh about the transformation of Jared Leto from TV dreamboat to emo assclown, my natural reaction is to laugh long and hard, for reasons jealous and Brian Krakow-like in nature. But when I read that Leto tried to yank some posters off the walls at CBGB during its demolition, I smiled a little.
