Tesseract Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 i almost clothes-lined this lady for calling them that. then i remembered she was my mom. :LOL: And ANOTHER one with my dad... my mom bought me this cute shirt and I went to try it on and walked downstairs to show my parents. My dad said that I looked like Muse, whatever the hell that means. I'm definitely going to start using that for all my compliments from now on. "Wow, you're looking very Muse today!" "Sweet shoes, they really bring out the Muse in you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamafish164 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have a friend who borrowed all my Muse CD's for his iPod, but then he told me Showbiz was crap (sharp intake of breath).

Just thought i would share that with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigapoodle Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Actually, I had a funny interaction the other day. I have a lot of gamer friends, and one of them popped over and picked up my HAARP cd: Him: Muse? What band is this? Me: (film references work the easiest for me) You know that Watchmen song you like? Him: Oh, that sweet trailer song. Me: Yea, they're good. Do you want to listen to some? Him: No, no, I'm not into Euro-Disco. Me: [Turns on PS3, inserts Rock Band 2, hands him guitar, lines up Hysteria] Him: [Furiously playing on Hard setting] Me: Remember this? Him: Awesome. I love this song. This is Muse? Me: Yep. [switches to Guitar Hero 5, brings up the Matthew Bellamy character, has him do the guitar while I do the bass, and lines up Plug In Baby] Him: OMG, I love this song. Me: Yep, they're good. Now, do you want to listen to some? Him: Give me all your cds. Converting one non-muser at a time. A winner is YOU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I remember watching the video for Invincible with a mate of mine: Mate: Huh, is this Muse's new song? Me: Yah, it's Invincible Mate: The singer's ugly Me: However, whenever my Mum wants to get past me in the kitchen she says 'Musein' Mama, coming through!'

Screenaged Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 And I know that because I used to be a huge McFly fan Happy I grew out of it I dare not say this, but I'm still a McFly fan. I think it's fun music, and it's way better than the pop we've got stuck with here in America. McFly>The Jonas Brothers. Anyway, those non-Musers...

Originally_Symmetrical Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 My friend and I were in a guitar store, just looking around, and I walk up to one of the workers and ask if there's any Mansons (I wanted to drool over one. ) Worker: What, like a Muse guitar? Me: Yea, a Muse guitar. Worker: No, we don't have any. I wish we did. Did you listen to their new album yet? Me: I just got it today. I'm excited. Worker: Yea, its epic. Me: Really? Good, 'cause I love Muse. I'm almost obsessed. Worker: Really? Awesome. (Looks down at my shoes, which I wrote Muse on). I guess you are obsessed, since you have them on your shoes. Me: ... And I found this on Muse's Biography on YouTube: Muse's fusion of progressive rock, glam, electronica, and Radiohead-influenced experimentation is crafted by guitarist/vocalist Matthew Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenholme, and drummer Dominic Howard.

ORmusic Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Well actually in my family no-one's really a Muser apart from me and my mother . My sister only loves Michael Jackson (she's completely crazy about him) and my father listens to classical music (he's a composer of contemporary classical music). My mother likes Michael Jackson and the music that I listen to (Muse, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode...). A year ago she noticed two concerts on a commercial TV station here in Holland. She saw "A Seaside Rendezvous" from Muse and "U2-BBC". She went like "Oh, that looks cool, shall I record them" (they were broadcasted in New Year's Night). I was like ":D". In the weekend my mother and me watched "A Seaside Rendezvous", I was enjoying the concert and my mother was sitting there with a big smile on her face . When the concert was finished she said "Wow, that was an awesome concert. I was enjoying it very much!" . So my mother is completely enthusiasic about Muse now. But... on a holiday I was playing Sounds Of The Universe by Depeche Mode. The first song (In Chains) was just playing as my father said "So that's Muse?". I thought ":facepalm:, come on. Muse and Depeche Mode are two completely different bands!" I was also annoyed because I allready played a few albums by Depeche Mode to him, so he should know the diffence between DM and Muse.

_pluginbaby Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 One of my friends claims to hate Muse even though she's never listened to them. It drives me mad! The other day I was walking along the road with her and I just spontaneously shoved my earphone in her ear during Plug In Baby. She actually said: "Hmm... It's okay... but not as good as Justin Bieber! Nobody can top him!" We don't talk to each other any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
