  1. Hello Tabina!

    I don't know where to begin.. Muse were just WOW! Massive, incredible, amazing, stunning, mind-blowing... I'm running out of adjectives :LOL: The crowd was awesome as well, people who live near the stadium were complaining about the noise - not the music. :chuckle: I am so so happy that I could be part of this bombastic audience, I'm so proud of us!

    Okay, so let's start at the beginning... My trip started at 7 AM in Ljubljana where me and my friend joined the other Musers on the bus. I was like "Wow, two buses full of Musers! :eek:" You don't see something like this every day, especially not around here! A very long ride was in front of us, Milan is about 400km away from our capital. Then, when we were 140km apart from our destination we got stuck in a traffic jam and were moving really slowly. I was close to pulling my hair out, I was so afraid I'm going to miss the gate opening at 4 PM. ...And I did. I mentioned that we were with two buses.. The other one got lost, so we stopped at a gas station to wait for them. Fortunately they arrived and continued our ride to Milan. I arrived there at around 4:30 PM. When I saw the stadium, I almost went crazy, it is so beautiful! There were lots of huge posters saying that Muse were going to play the venue that evening. We finally found a place to park, I got my ticket and started to run towards San Siro. I entered at gate number 10 (I didn't have to queue up because everyone was already inside - there were still people waiting in front of the gates for the sitting places though) and then I couldn't find the entrance to the parterre! :facepalm: I ran around for about one minute and then decided to ask a security guy for help. Yeah, but he didn't understand English, only Italian. Fortunately I found someone who could tell me where the entrance is (it was actually right in front of my nose, but I was too anxious to find it :facepalm:) and I ran to the pit. When I saw the stage, I went "Holy cow!!" It was incredible! The fans had already been either sitting or stading there, but there weren't as many as I thought there would be. I called an Italian Muser (I know her from the board) and when we finally found eachother, I tried to fight my way through to her. I only waited to be punched for trying to get to the front, but this didn't happen, thank God.

    The first support band, who were called Calibro 35, came on at 6 PM. Friendly Fires and Kasabian followed and then at 9:15 PM MUSE at last!! I can not describe the feeling I had when I saw Chris, then Dom and at the end Matt. Before they had come on stage, protesters came on with flags and signs, so they distracted us a little. When the first tunes of Uprising reached my ear, I thought I am going to die right there and then. I felt so euphoric, I couldn't believe I was there! Oh I forgot to tell you where I was standing. I've drawn an arrow to the place where me and my Italian friend were standing. Click!

    Guess what - I did sing the cheesy lyrics of NSC! :LOL: But the song is great live, I hope they'll play it at Wembley too! I didn't care about the lyrics, there is no cheese for me at a Muse gig. We planned to sing Matt happy birthday and had brought many balloons - the singing should have happened during the 1st encore, but no one really wanted to sing then. :LOL: (MuseWiki says it happened during the first, but that was kind of lame - the REAL singing was during the second) Matt came on with that light up suit you have mentioned and as soon as I saw him, I bursted out into laugh. He looked so funny wearing that :LOL: They played Take a Bow which made me very happy, I wanted to hear this song live since I first watched HAARP. :happy: I sang my heart out on Tuesday for Muse.

    Oh, have you heard the MK Jam? It is amazing, I am totally in love with it! During that jam that mini stage came forward with Dom and Chris on it and they were practically right in front of me! Seeing their faces properly made me stunned for several seconds. :stunned: I kept telling myself "Holy shit, they are here! I am seeing Muse again after 7 months of waiting!" Dom introducing Nic Cester was another surprise: I thought Back In Black was only part of the Big Day Out tour! :D

    After Resistance Dom said: "This is a song you can clap your hands to." and I screamed "STARLIGHT!" Some people looked strange at me, but I was proud of myself that moment. :D

    I didn't get to touch any of the balloons that were released during Plug In Baby, but I was happy we got some - we didn't get any last year in Bologna. When KOC came on, I thought "Okay, this is the last song, sing as much as you can now, you won't hear it live for quite a while!" We were jumping, singing, screaming, clapping, everything! At the end (as usually) Dom came to say goodbye and something funny happened. The fan that was placed beside the mic rolled his shirt up (click!) and we got a glimpse of his belly. Everyone started to scream even more that moment, I couldn't stop laughing :LOL:

    Muse disappeared and me and my Italian friend started to move towards the exit. But then all of the sudden she said "Come back,", so I followed her. The next moment I looked up there was Tom Kirk standing in front of us!!! I didn't realize it was him in the first two seconds, it was so unreal! He was wearing a pass from the BDO 2010 with his photo on it and was walking through the crowd like it was the most normal thing to do. I was staring at him like a loon, I hope he didn't think that I am an idiot. :LOL: We also wanted to ask for a photo, but the memory card was full! :mad:

    Ah it was such an amazing night, I will never forget it! I know that this is impossible, but I love Muse even more now! <3
