Kirby Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 My friend (who happens to be a Muse fan) really scared me one time when we were listening to SMBH and she said something like, "Oh, isn't this song from Twilight? In the baseball scene?" I was just like But then she announced that she was kidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namey Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 "I don't like bands that aren't famous" ... But they're famous, they have a lot of fans all over the world. Check their facebook page, they have millions of fans! "Then how come I don't know them?. As I said I don't like bands that aren't famous." aww what a nonsense reason not to like a song. who gives a flying fuck whether they're well-known or not, if they sound great? I feel sorry for her, missing out on some great stuff out there just because of some odd self-image issue (not that I'm not guilty of that sort of thing sometimes yadda yadda). Music is such a raw, emotional experience for me that I can't imagine allowing something so meaningless to get in the way It's almost like...saying you'll only eat certain foods because they're trendy. Seems almost like a violation of something rather personal and sacred imo. coming from a die-hard Britney Spears fan: 'i really dislike them, expecially when i listen to the studio albums. it bugs me when you hear the singer's breath....it's like it sounds SOOOO fake!' like I don't understand. Hearing a singer gasp or draw breath would sound less fake, wouldn't it? I mean, if it doesn't sound completely polished and computerized, it sounds more real, no?

I introduced Muse to lots of people and they all just give out a straight face and say they just don't like them because it's just not their type. But this one really bugged me I hope I don't meet another gal that'll say this or something more weirder. Oh wow, that's really bad Really bad!

weird cOokie Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 LOOOOOOOOL that's hilarious!! U kno, some of these people, whilst funny, are actually quite frightening i'm stil amazed by how stupid she sounded. I don't understand. Hearing a singer gasp or draw breath would sound less fake, wouldn't it? I mean, if it doesn't sound completely polished and computerized, it sounds more real, no? I KNOW i tried to explain it to her, saying usually a song sounds 'fake' when you can't hear the singer's breath, and you can clearly understand the song is just a bunch of electronic devices made up in a studio coughbritneycough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart03 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My friend ( only hearing SMBH on Twilight...nothing else ) said that "the lead singer sang like a girl." I tried to assure her that he didn't always sound like that...and it took me a year to convince her. She listened to Starlight, and she said it was okay. I'm getting closer to converting her. Never let her listen to Showbiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattXXI Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 "His voice is too high and they are just....weird." Though, the person who has said this is slowly becoming a fan. He thinks their a bit weird still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechagodzilla Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Last week, at school, I was showing one of my friends (who I've been trying to get into Muse recently. He mainly listens to Ironmaiden, Slipknot and other heavy metal/hard rock bands) a few videos on my USB stick of Bizarre festival, the Uprising mime and Dom's slipknot impersonation. We were both pissing ourselves laughing at the Slipknot vid, but then he said that he doesn't like Muse because "Matt's weird" However, I made him listen to Execution commentary a while back and he said that he liked the drumming. It's a start! ...I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyWizardx317 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 My sisters: They're too loud. (despite the fact that one of my sisters hum the riff of Stockholm Syndrome) The only song they seemed to like is FAWY and that's all.
