The forthcoming \"Tron: Ares\" star said music videos are \"kind of a dying art\" but represent \"one of the few places that you can really do whatever the hell you want to do.\"

\"It's also a chance to kind of either interpret the song or reinterpret the song or change the way that people might think about a certain song,\" he explained. \"For me, the identities of the songs are so tied to the videos of the song.\"

Leto said each music video brings back a specific memory. For \"A Beautiful Lie\" it's the Arctic, while \"From Yesterday\" is all about China. Of \"Stuck,\" the lead single off their latest album, Leto spoke of shooting the music video in France as \"kind of my love letter to Paris and these photographers that influenced me so much.\"

Time to reintroduce themselves

Leto announced Thirty Seconds to Mars' Seasons World Tour in November in an unexpected way: climbing New York City's famous Empire State Building.

Reflecting on the headline-making feat, the rocker said it was his way of \"put[ting] a little showmanship into something that would normally be a press release.\"

\"It's like, why can't we dream a little bit bigger?\" he added.

Following their dates in Europe, Thirty Seconds to Mars will head back home to the United States later this summer -- the first time they've toured in the U.S. in six years.

The band's Seasons World Tour is part of Live Nation's Concert Week program, which runs through May 14 and gives fans access to $25 tickets to over 5,000 shows from hundreds of artists, happening all year long. Tickets for select shows are available while supplies last.

\"It's been a long time and we're excited to kind of get back out there and, you know, reintroduce ourselves,\" Leto said. \"We're still here.\"

\"It's incredible to be able to do this -- and especially share it with my brother Shannon for this long and to tour the world,\" he added. \"We feel super, super, super lucky. So grateful to be able to do this.\"
