I'M VERY SORRY FOR MISTAKES, i'm Belgian, if you can help me to make a better translate contact me : david@universeofechelons.com - Thx you !! 00:01:12,430 thay like people to make their own designs,
they like crowd interactions,
and they like the tatoos (of the fans) and the passion.
And the band has as much passion for their fans
as the fans have for the band!
They formed in 1998 by Jared Leto .
The drummer is his brother, Shannon Leto .
And finally the lead guitarist, Tomo.
Jared is also an actor .
He basically is the one that composes the music,
he plays the guitar and he sings
Jared appears to me to be is a very disturbing
very intelligent,
very creative
and I think everything he undertakes will be a success !
He wants his band to be known for his band and not for him;
at the start of his career,
they used to tour in bars,
and if someone was using his fame as an actor,
and said "this is Jared Leto's band"
they did not cam to perform!
So, in fact he wants to be recognized as a musician,
and to separate his two careers.
Now Shannon,
there is nothing to say about him, really ...
he is he who gives the pace to the whole band,
WITHOUT HIM, THE BAND would not "BEAT" !
Fans nickname him "Shanimal",
because of his playing which is pretty tribal.
In fact it is a mixture between the small MUPPETS drummer,
which is very "ROARRRRR" very exhuberatn with his hair in the air,
and Shannon, who is very talented on the drums,
he makes us dream and he makes us think of that little Muppet.
The guitarist, bassist, keyboard player,
finally one that makes everything else, Tomo.
Tomo I love him because he is very close to people,
[translation not understood] and also he sometimes behaves like a child.
The first album, which was released in 2002, was a unique sounded album,
It's nothing like you've ever heard,
The sound is different and the lyrics are also very "cerebral" ...
... how can i put it ...?... emotionnal but "cerebral".
It was their beginning, they were doing what they like, they were testing new things,
is one who has the most striking personality and I think
a sound and relatively specific
pretty unique compared to what we heard in "A Beautiful Lie" or "This is War"
The second, "A Beautiful Lie" which was released in 2005 I think,
that the album was a more commited,
where they really wanted to defend their opinions on their world view.
a total different album from the first one,
and that's when they gather, the most ... 00:04:19,710 --> 00:04:23,590 Echelon's. That's when really the mouvement took off.
"A Beautiful Lie" was more about the environement
and to how to protect the environement.
And it was more alternative ... and this one is ...
EVERYTHING !
And then there was the album "This Is War" which was released in November 2009,
"This Is War" what it means to the band, to the echelon
it was really a battle against the economy,
a battle between the band and their label,
a fight to get the record out.
So when it was complete,
it was like completing a war.
It's a message of peace, happiness and hope !
That you can,
if you believe in yourself, if you believe in others,
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE !
And i think that is why "This is war" is so ...
"BIG" with people today,
because people need to here that message.
And they change it a short "mentality",
in every album they slightly change style and you can feel it.
They ... they have been touring for two years for "This is war",
and they are now in December 2011, reaching 300 shows in one tour ...
which is a GUINESS RECORD !
The band "U2" that have a greatest seeling tour of all time,
only had 110 shows ...
So these guys (Jared, Shannon and Tomo) are AWESOME ...
This are the TRUE ROCKSTARS !!
