30 Seconds To Mars Save Souls In ‘Closer To The Edge’ Video

‘Yes, this is a cult,’ says video that aims to capture fans’ perspective of the live 30STM experience. By James Montgomery 30 Seconds to Mars’ “Closer to the Edge” Photo: EMI With their brand new “Closer to the Edge” video — which premiered on Monday (August 16) — 30 Seconds to Mars have joined a special fraternity. For about as long as there have been rock videos, there have also been “road videos,” grand testaments to the highs and lows, the triumphs and tragedies, the sheer excitement and terrifying monotony that comes with being a touring rock-and-roll band. Documenting your life on the bus is as much a rite of passage as getting your first platinum plaque (or bedding your first groupie), and as such, basically every rock act worth their salt has, at some point, released a road video … and then released it again on the “Live” DVD. Though, in keeping with pretty much everything they do, 30STM have taken the concept to dizzying, unabashedly all-encompassing heights. Though road videos feature plenty of live footage (as does “Edge”), they are rarely — if ever — about the live experience. Rather, they are about the band themselves, the three or four dudes who sleep on bunks, sign autographs, eat at all-night diners and gaze longingly out the window of their bus. The fans are just part of the background … the occasional slow-motion shot or the supportive arms that keep the lead singer aloft when he crowd surfs. “Closer to the Edge” is different because it is darn-near 100 percent about the fans themselves: their lives and loves and fears, and how all of those things motivated them to attend a 30STM show in the first place. They are the stars, they are the main attraction. The members of the band are basically secondary characters in the thing. Even Jared Leto’s foot-high pink Mohawk. The video — directed by Leto, under the nom-de-film Bartholomew Cubbins — opens with testimonials from sad-eyed 30STM fans, espousing their views on life (“My philosophy is: Don’t regret anything you do … because in the end, it makes you who you are”). Each of them is alone in their own particular way, it would seem, though, through the music of 30 Seconds to Mars, they find a space in which they can coexist with others just like them. They may be outcasts in their high schools or towns, but at a 30STM show, they are anything but. They are, as a title card in the video puts it, part of “The Family.” And that message of inclusion is driven home in a series of stats the video throws at us (“27 Countries. 89 Cities. 1 Band. And All 1,363,930 of You”) and the message, “Yes, This Is a Cult.” Provided you are not curdled with cynicism, it’s a rather amazing idea. 30 Seconds to Mars are less of a touring rock band than they are a barnstorming ministry. They aim to uplift, to inspire, to save, and “Closer to the Edge” is their document of that mission. Sure, there are moments that sort of make you snicker — the sheer bombast of the entire thing, the fact that this is a “film … presented by 30 Seconds to Mars,” the image of Leto’s pink Mohawk peering contemplatively over the Grand Canyon — but there’s no denying the power of seeing tens of thousands of fans finding a simultaneous salvation, of a crowd of individuals becoming one. It’s what rock and roll is supposed to be about, really: inclusion. What do you think of the new 30 Seconds to Mars video? Share your own reviews in the comments below.

Lloyd Says Polow Da Don ‘Brings Out The Best Of Me’

King of Hearts ‘is gonna be my best work to date,’ R&B heartthrob tells MTV News of his first-ever Polow-helmed LP. By Shaheem Reid Lloyd Photo: MTV News It’s official now: Young Goldie and Awesome Jones are down together. Former Murder Inc. singer Lloyd announced last year he was leaving his original label home and, several weeks ago, he finalized a new deal at Interscope. On Monday (August 16) it was announced that he inked a deal to release his next LP, The King of Hearts, via a joint deal with the Zone 4 imprint belonging to producer Polow Da Don a.k.a. Awesome Jones. “I’m the King of Hearts, you know,” Lloyd said recently when we visited the New Jersey set of Lloyd Banks’ “Any Girl” video. “And at the album release, we gonna be drinking Ace of Spades,” he laughed. “Me and Polow Da Don have been working hard,” he added. “I got a lot of surprises. I think that a lot of people haven’t heard me sound like this, haven’t heard me sing like this. It’s gonna be a new look, it’s gonna be like I’m back for the first time. It should be anticipated. The album is gonna be my best work to date, King of Hearts.” The R&B heartthrob just released the single “Lay It Down,” and the tumble-in-the-sheets single is just the first hint of what’s to come from the Po and Lloyd collaboration. Lloyd’s last LP was 2008’s Lessons in Love, which spawned the hit “Girls Around the World” featuring Lil Wayne. Of course, Lloyd, a.k.a. Young Goldie, was also heard on the Young Money blockbuster “Bedrock.” Lloyd and his connection to Cash Money/ Young Money is so strong that the singer nearly became an official Young Money member, but wanted to bolt entirely from Universal, where his last two albums were released through The Inc. and which serves as the distribution home for Young Money projects. Instead, he’ll be over at the house that Jimmy Iovine built working with a fellow ATL music staple, producer/songwriter Polow. “He’s dedicated,” Lloyd co-signed of the hitmaker. “The greatest thing about Polow is there’s no amount of time that’s unnecessary when it comes to making something the best, whether it takes two days or two months for one track. I’ve seen Polow sit with one song for six days and perfect it. You can hear the difference in the quality against someone else’s music. It sounds completely different. “Working with Polow, he brings the best out of me,” Lloyd continued. “He pushes me to be a better artist. And I really feel like I found a home, I found a good home at Interscope. They believe in me as a star. I’m really looking forward to the future.” Lloyd’s first album, Southside, was released in 2004, and he hit another milestone when his 2007 sophomore LP, Street Love, debuted at #2 on the Billboard albums chart. Now, he’s ready to take a fresh direction for his fourth effort. Polow will be handling most of the album’s production, which Lloyd says is a much-welcome change of pace. “I don’t wanna bounce around too much. When an artist bounces around, you lose the consistency and the continuity in the sound,” he said. “For me, working with Polow has been all that and more. He’s given me a lot of different sounds, but at the same time, it’s a complete thought, so it’s not like we’re recording the same songs over and over again. Having that one creative partner in a producer is something I’ve never really had and I’m enjoying a lot not having to bounce around … just me and Po for the most part.” What do you think of Lloyd’s new single? Should we get the R&B crown ready for him? Tell us in the commments! Related Artists Lloyd
