ibelongtoyou4 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 My reaction exactly. I screamed so loud I think I blew out a few people's ears…and then I was like, WHERE THE FUCK DID MY CAMERA GO HOW DO I TURN THIS ON OMG IT'S CITIZEN FUCKING ERASED WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. I was right on the barrier and even there people were talking through it. I was literally shaking but I managed to get some awesome pictures Again, shame on you (for thinking you're annnn exceeppttioonnn) America.

Chidorifool101 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Again, shame on you (for thinking you're annnn exceeppttioonnn) America. I see that Dead Star reference And yeah, shame on you Americans that don't know any songs and get [usually] the best seats just because you're filthy rich and only know one song!!

JessicaSarahS Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 For the longest time, I did not know how to spell/say Chris's last name, so I'd just say "Chris Whats-his-name". My roommate still says it, thanks to me... But now that I know, I don't know how I mixed it up to begin with! It's so easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsername Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I can't believe people would actually sit down at a Muse concert (the only time I sat down was during the break before the encore, but that's acceptable!) Even my mom, who only likes Uprising and SMBH, was standing and visibly enjoying the show. Back to blonde moments, when I first heard SMBH , I thought the single cover (the one with the naked woman) was the actual BH&R album cover and I thought the band was a bunch of old pervs and I refused to buy the album.That's also kind of the reason I didn't really start listening to the band until about 6 months later.

forevermusic Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Aside from thinking Matt was on the cover of Absolution and thinking Muse were Americans (my Dad thought that until I pointed it out to him on the way back from the O2 gig) I don't think I've really had many of those moments.

BLlSS Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I thought that Hullabaloo was their second album, and OoS their third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goti Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 That happened to me too! Also I only knew Matt's full name. I knew Dom as just "Dom" and Chris as "Chris with the really long last name". Me too!! it took me a while to learn Chris's last name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they just go to drink and stand there! There were people right in front of me too who just danced around to everything and didn't even know the words to songs like SMBH or Uprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sing_For_Absolution Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The first albums I bought were Showbiz (because it was cheap) and BH&R (thinking it was Origin). I thought the guy on the Absolution cover was Matt. For a long time. I thought they were an American band for ages. For some reason, I get the titles/lyrics of Space Dementia and Hyper Music confused. At a concert, there was a lull between songs where it became very quiet. As they played the first notes of their next song, I said "wait... oh my god. OH MY GOD. IT'S FURY." It was Nishe I'm sure I've had more derp moments, but these are the first that jump to mind.

Spectrum IV Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 My blonde moment would be that I thought Muse were the men on the front of the BHAR cover. This. But it gets better... I thought the guy on the Absolution cover was Matt. For a long time. This, too. I thought Matt must've shaved his head between albums or something. Lessee... I thought the lyrics to Overture were "raping my soul." I used to get Map of the Problematique and Map of Your Head confused. All the time. KoC was played on the Triple J Hottest 100 when I had just started listening to the band. My initial reaction: "The fuck is this shit?" Now it's one of my favourites. Um, there's probably more I'm forgetting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tofu Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I used to get Map of the Problematique and Map of Your Head confused. All the time. That's still better than MOTP with Exo-Poliltics, though! And I too was guilty of the BHAR cover thing...even after knowing Muse were a trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Zombie Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 For some stupid reason. I used to confuse Fillip and Yes please a lot. Don't know how that happened... Maybe because I just wanted them to switch titles or something? Oh young muser me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookielover734 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I thought Dom was called Chris and vice versa as well This one is more my sisters but when we bought BHaR, my sister asked me how old Muse were, I told her how old they were at the time, and she said 'well that's a bit young to go bald isn't it?'

muse2503 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Erm #1 Don't think the not-owning of early/demo stuff automatically disqualifies you from being a muser. I don't have everything (but this will be rectified...) I agree with this, I own all the albums but I have no way of getting the b-sides and stuff unless I illegally download them, I still listen to them though. My main blonde moment with Muse is probably just with lyrics, I'm not very good with lyrics for most songs, whatever band it is, I'm usually too busy singing along to the instrumental bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 It took me a few seconds too! I was so convinced it was going to be Eurasia that after the riff started, I was like, "What is this......? Holy shit it's Citizen- OH MY GOD CITIZEN ERASED YESSSSSS :dance:" Ha, I only needed the first "dum-dum" of the drums at Wembley for me to go mental, knowing what was about to happen! That was such a great moment! Same as when Matt was just quietly arpeggiating some chords between songs, and I knew I could recognise them. Then I heard someone else gasped, and it clicked, and I just knew "It's Bliss! :dance:" before it had started. I love when that happens. I'd also agree that it's hardly embarrassing not having the early demos and so on. I'd definitely recommend the b-sides and so on to everyone as there's so much underappreciated stuff in there, but I don't know any of the pre-Showbiz demos myself, and that doesn't particularly bother me really. I might give them a listen at some point, but they're not high on my list of priorities, and I've already gone 7-8 years without trying them out, so I'm not that bothered at the moment XD.

Most Musers here in the States knew the setlist before the show even began(stupid repetitive setlists)! When CE came on, that kinda threw me off track, in an awesome way of course!

I still do sometimes Not Muse specifically but at Wembley before they came on, Jenny Was a Friend of Mine was playing over the PA and i went, "Kasabian!!!" much to the laughter of others around me What! It's a fairly easy mistake to make with the keyboard/synth and all that. I think i thought it was the intro of Club Foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
