Deep breaths, members of the Echelon, passersby and regular ol' Jared Leto fanatics: Here we have a Buzzworthy Blog exclusive video interview with 30 Seconds To Mars. Any chat with 30 Seconds To Mars is pretty awesome, but this one is special since it was the first interview Jared Leto gave after chopping off his Mohawk. I know, right!?

What do VMA winners 30 Seconds To Mars talk about in this Buzzworthy exclusive? What don't they talk about!?

The first subject 30 Seconds To Mars covered is their song "Closer To The Edge." Many Echelon members will consider "Closer To The Edge" a kind of personal anthem, but the song was almost consigned to the dustbin of 30 Seconds To Mars history. According to Jared Leto, the track was "in the trash for about a year," lying around as an instrumental. Even more compelling is the idea of "Closer To The Edge" as a ballad, which was the song's original format.

30 Seconds then cast its own biopic, with pretty funny results. According to Jared Leto, if the 30 Seconds To Mars movie were to be made, the ideal lineup of actors would be Bette Midler, Cyndi Lauper and Crispin Glover. Oh, and the late Gary Coleman. We're already on line for that one.

The band also discusses Jared Leto's hair and suggests we check out ABeautifulLie.Org, which is where the band advocates for the social and environmental issues that are close to their heart.

Watch this funny and engaging video interview with 30 Seconds To Mars, and while you're at it, check out Jared, Shannon and Tomo's video for "Closer To The Edge."
