10 Rock Songs That Killed Bands' Career
10. Walk on Water - 30 Seconds to Mars
It seems a bit odd giving a song that's a career killer to something that's not even all that old yet. As far as the test of time is concerned, a song like Walk on Water by 30 Seconds to Mars needs a little more time to sink in before anyone starts calling it a fall from grace or anything. Given where Jared Leto has gone in his professional life though, it's probably safe that we call this one while it's still fresh.
Ever since A Beautiful Lie, Jared has tended to put 30 Seconds to Mars on the backburner to his acting career, and for good reason. There's no chance that he could have made an impression in something like Dallas Buyers Club if he had to juggle a tour around the same time. On Walk On Water though, this sounds like a jock jam that Jared just threw together in a couple of hours on his laptop in between scenes from Bladerunner 2049.
From the singalong chorus to the weird vocal manipulations going on halfway through, this feels closer to an Imagine Dragons song than the guy who gave you those amazing screams on songs like From Yesterday. If this is what we should expecting from his music career going forward, maybe Jared is better suited to just focus on acting at this point.
