Muse and Parents

[Saracene]

My Mum LOVES Muse, almost as much as she loves Pink Floyd who are gods as far as she's concerned. Which surprised me a lot at the time because I can't think of any rock band from the last, gosh, thirty years that she loves as much as Beatles, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple etc. She says that they're everything she wants in a rock band. At the moment she's trying hard to remember Matt's name because usually she's hopeless with names and always asks me,

 

My Dad hasn't heard much of them so I've no idea what he'd think, but I was shocked to find out the other day that my Dad's partner, who doesn't listen to rock music *at all*, actually knows who they are.

my dad thinks they are great, and that Matt plays good guitar. my mom get headache of most of the songs, but she likes all the love and slow songs

[Irisa]

My dad only likes country or maybe a little Golden Earring or Status Quo.

But then he also likes Queen... and still... when I put Muse on he says it's just noise

 

And my mum yeah well... can't say that she has a really good taste in music... And she automatically hates everything with an electric guitar in it, even if she hasn't heard the whole song yet. I think it's stupid but oh well... Some people just don't know what good taste is

 

My brothers are in the whole 'acting tough'-stage and I guess Matt's high voice doesn't fit in that picture. They're more into the whole yelling-like-a-maniac-in-the-microphone-while-headbanging things.

 

Luckily I have friends that DO like Muse. That's why I spend most of my time at their places

[J-man]

My mom has musical taste that goes nowhere near Muse, yet she still seems to not mind them for the most part, and she even likes a few songs. And she came to a gig with me once, to which she responded 'I must admit they put on a good show.' My dad has commented that he really likes Feeling Good, and he's commented on Citizen Erased as well.

My dad hates them and my mom... I think she doesn't really care. Except, she always says she loves "that song" when I play Starlight.

[Liz0_o]

my mom dosnt really listen to my music but my dad does he says his favorite song is startlight:stunned:

 

for the longest time my dad thought they were russian i had BHR in the cd player in the car and he was talking to my mom saying listen to the lyrics there russian:erm:

 

i told him no and he said i swore they were russian from the stuff they sing about................

[I Only Want You]

My dad still hasn't heard Muse. I've made my mom listen to them when I have to drive her anywhere. She only likes 'Starlight', she even put it on her iPod.

[whit014]

my parents like them both. my mom was actually there when I met Dom, but she took our picture, she loves them and goes to every MUSE concert she can! ha

 

and i like your avatar thing oneshotnothing, the picture of brandon boyd! he's lovely

[alyssa_]

My mom likes Blackout.

 

My dad doesn't like it when I listen to their heavier stuff, haha.

[Carrotie]

My dad keeps whistling KoC.

 

Oh, and whenever one of the lads comes up in conversation with someone, he'll say "That's Georgia's future husband you're talking about"

*facepalm*

It's been a tough slog for me, getting the parentals to like Muse and all. Partly because they apparently don't have the time to give them a good listen, but my dad merely 'likes' some of the songs, doesn't give them the credit for pure genius they deserve. My mum likes the piano bits I suppose, but what's really surprising is that my grandparents like Muse the most. Granted, they only like the exceptionally classical-influenced bits, like Feeling Good, piano solo on Butterflies & Hurricanes, Sunburn piano, etc.

really? your grandparents are very cool then

 

In fact, the other day I was watching Haarp with my grandmother and in the middle of Invincible she said "I like this song" and then she said "Well, I don't understand the lyrics (she's spanish), but it's not a problem when the music is beautifull, isn't it?"

I was like wooo yesey: :

[_aure_]

my dad likes their wembley performance and he said feeling good is great and mum, she don't really like ther stuff

[HullaGirl]

My parents don't even know about Muse even though I have been to their concert,have tons of magazines/albums/dvds in my room and a poster next to my bed.

But my brother knows Muse,he doesn't like them(and he has listened to their stuff,trust me) and teases me all the time about Muse.

[plug_in_kelly]

My lovely mummy comes to all the Muse gigs with me (except Oslo, she has other kids) n she got dragged out of Albert Hall exhausted after looking after my little Bro. We are a Muse Family! Can't comment on the dad, don't have one of those!

[Allrightnow]

I watched Hullabaloo a few days ago and my mum made me turn it off. I guess it's too progressive for her old heart

 

But she likes Map of your head!

[Maria Way]

my mum's a fanatic!! :eek:

she loves them so much :LOL:

 

my dad doesn't like them

[WutDaFucksy]

Mum loves Knights of Cydonia

Dad went to Wembley with me

About Muse and my parents: My mother didn't live with me but she visited over my house on my birthday june 21(she just died june 27) and I played the HAARP dvd for her and my dad, who was there also. I noticed that she wasn't paying it much attention until b&h came on and she kinda started watching it. By the time Unintended was playing she absolutely loved it and almost brought her to tears. And said they reminded her of her fav band the Eagles. I felt good that I made another Muse fan (lol). My dad had a slightly different reaction: first he asked if they were gay ... and said they should duet with Eltin John. Then he complimented Matt for being such a great musician and then started talking about his fav Hungarian singer. My friend was there too and I introduced her to Muse and she likes them now. Anyway, sorry for such a long post. It was a good memory of my mom.

My mum is listening to SMBH out of her own free will right now, i feel so proud

[Nuuuk]

Mah mum doesn't complain about me listening to muse and if there's a song on tv or radio she'll poke me and say "Hey it's Muse!", but I think my dad doesn't really like them..

He sometimes says "What crap is this, is it dat MYOOOOOZZZEEEE again" and then starts listening to ZZ-top or something, just to annoy me, I think. :S

[Rockette147]

My mum wouldn't know a Muse song if it bit her on the ass. She calls them 'The Muse' and if she sees pictures of a band on as my desktop (whether or not it's Muse) she says "Is that the Muse then? Which is the one Shannon (my Matt-crazed friend) fancies?"

 

My Dad however has been a Muse fan longer than more, but never mentioned it. When I started getting into them he casually announced that he owns all their albums and thinks BHAR is an amazing album. He tells me off if I talk over Invincible if we listen to Muse together in the car, and he wants to come with me next time I see them live.

[Contrad!ction.]

My mum said Megalomania was scary... =))

[Ahkmed]

My mom likes a few of their songs but my dad really likes them. He even told me "oo..I like these guys!" and he says matt is a genius and that no one should have that much talent.

[f96pt]

My parents like muse:)

My mom loves starlight and my dad too!
