''With sound there's a certain amount of space. It's very easy to fill that sound with noises and sounds, but it's very difficult to keep it empty and still have exciting songs.”
*This is not really Tomo..its a page dedicated to him and thirty seconds to mars...just to save confusion :)*

After a small revolving door of guitarists (as the band's first two guitarists, Kevin Drake and Solon Bixler, left the band due to issues primarily related to touring), the three auditioned Tomo Milicevic to round out the band's roster
The band's name "actually comes from a thesis that [the band] found online [that] was written by a former Harvard professor. And one of the subsections of the thesis was titled 'thirty seconds to mars' and he goes on to talk about the expediential growth of technology that relates to humans and saying that we are quite literally thirty seconds to mars. What it means to us is, we thought it best described our music, in short."
Although Leto is a Hollywood actor, he originally preferred not to use this information to promote the band; in fact, the band used to refuse to play at venues that used his fame to promote shows
30 Seconds to Mars' first, self-titled, album, produced by Bob Ezrin, was in 2002 to mixed reviews and achieved sales of just over 100, 000
The band's second album, A Beautiful Lie, was released on August 30, 2005
For this effort, the band traveled (during the course of three years) to four different continents, including five different countries, to perfect their sound and also to allow for Jared's film career. The album was produced by Josh Abraham, whose producing credits also include Orgy, Velvet Revolver, and Linkin Park
Because A Beautiful Lie was leaked five months before its release, the band decided to include two bonus tracks: "Battle of One" (an original song that was also set to be the album's title track when it was first announced) and "Hunter" (a cover of the Björk song of the same name). To further promote the album, the band also enclosed "golden tickets" in 12 copies, which grant their owners access to any 30 Seconds to Mars concert free of charge, along with backstage access
On August 31, 2006 the band won the MTV2 Award for "The Kill" at the MTV Video Music Awards, one of their two nominations
In October, the band began the "Welcome to the Universe" tour, sponsored by MTV2. They were supported on this tour by Head Automatica, The Receiving End of Sirens, Cobra Starship, and several other bands including The Street Drum Corps
On November 20, MTV2 premiered the video for "From Yesterday"; the video is the first American rock video ever shot in its entirety in the People's Republic of China
As of Spring 2007, the band is supporting The Used as a part of the Taste of Chaos tour and have scheduled a string of dates in Europe supporting Linkin Park. They are also scheduled to play Roskilde, Rock am Ring, Pinkpop, and Download festivals; on April 29 they will perform at the AVMAs for which they have been nominated for three, and will then begin working on their third album
On March 1, 2007, bassist Matt Wachter announced his departure from the band live on stage during the band's El Paso, Texas Taste of Chaos set. This was confirmed the following day with a statement on the band's website.He has since been replaced by Tim Kelleher (not the actor), who has been seen playing at the band's concerts. It is unknown if this is a temporary or permanent change
Logo
The band's phoenix logo (which the band named "Mithra") bears the phrase "Provehito in Altum", the band's motto. Roughly translated from Latin, this means "Launch forth into the deep". The logo was primarily used for promotion of the band's debut, whereas for "A Beautiful Lie", the new Trinity logo was created consisting of three skulls, along with the band's name and motto.

About me: Birth name: Tomislav MilicevicBorn September 3, 1979Origin Sarajevo, Bosnia, former Yugoslavia Plays in the band 30 seconds to marsWas a fan of 30 Seconds to mars before actually joining the bandAlso plays the violinthe younger brother of model Ivana MilicevicHis parents, Tonka and Damir Milicevic decided to move when Tomo was in Grade 3 to Detroit and then on to Seattle, Washington in hopes of a better life in America. He is quoted as saying “...I would be in the army by 16, fighting in the front lines by age 17”.By the time tomo was 18 years of age, his parents had opened a restaurant in LA.Tomo is left handed but plays a right handed guitarTomo practiced to become a concert violinist; he started to play when he was three years old until he turned 19. Then he discovered heavy metal. He told his dad that he wanted to play the guitar, so Tomo and his father made one. His uncle, Bill Milicevic, is a virtuoso violinist and Ph.D from the University of Michigan School of Music. Tomo has been playing guitar professionally for years. He started writing his own music by the age of 17, which has contributed to his unique style of playing.
The guitar that he made with his father was used on the 30 Seconds to Mars sophomore CD titled A Beautiful Lie (2005) in the song Savior.Besides his sister Ivana, Tomo also has a brother named filipTomo Quotes: He really wanted to buy an electric guitar. But they're expensive, so he said, 'Hey, let's make one.' We went and bought all of these tools and books, and the next thing you know, we're building an electric guitar. Fifteen hundred dollars later ? twice the cost of any good electric ? we had it.”Truthfully, every band has their different challenges. I think we have ours, and that would be one of them. But I would take our challenges over other bands' challenges.”For Jared, making music is very personal and cerebral so for him to open up and share the experience is difficult.” “It's never a second thought. Every single band has something they have to prove to the media and the people. We are very committed to winning. All we want is to have our shot.”But we were terrified to play those songs live. We're a real balls-to-the-wall, rip-your-face-off kind of band, and for us to slow it down, there's a natural reaction to wonder 'What if nobody wants to hear those songs?' What if we start playing those songs and our fans are freaking out?”You can't really help touching the person next to you. No matter how much of a germ freak you are, you're exchanging liquids with people.”
