FIRST ENCOUNTERS: Where did you first hear Muse? What song?

[Mortnil]

I heard Starlight some years ago.

 

"Lame"

 

I Thought

[.Turn.]

About the age of 6 or 7, heard TIRO&NewBorn(pre-overplayed period) at my uncle's in Ireland and thought it sounded like a James Bond soundtrack XD

 

Imagine them doing one though..

 

Didn't listen to them too much for a few years then saw them at Glastonbury with LostProphets and hugely listened, not going a few days without a listen since, almost the only band I don't tire of with time

I was about 12 or something, heard Unintended on MTV. My brothers had just gotten me out me out of the boyband and pop stuff, the stuff I was listening to now was Iron Maiden and Metallica and stuff . So whenever I heard a slow song or something calm I freaked out and thought; that was SRSLY gay. A few years later, about a year ago or something, I heard Supermassive Black Hole and Hysteria, and I thought they were awesome songs. Never bothered to listen to more songs from Muse. Heard KoC but wasn't really blown away the first time I heard it () . But then a friend of mine showed me some pretty cool songs and I really liked the music, so I bought H.A.A.R.P and was really blown away! fucking awesome, and now its my favorite band! Now I love (nearly) every song by them!

[String-Bean-23]

Supermassive black hole when I was 11.

 

"Oh my God, my hairdresser is playing the drums on TV!"

[EasyTiger]

um first song i heard was like years ago! nd it was sunburn nd i was like :O omg awesome song!!! then i found out tht my sister (muse-queen) knew about them 4 ages b4 i was like awww maaan haha

[PocketRockets]

My older brother has always been a massive fan of Muse, he had Showbiz when it first came out. But, bearing in mind I was only 11 back then, I didn't really listen to it properly, just heard it from his room.. I really started to pay attention to what he was listening to in the summer of 2003, aged 14, before Absolution was released.

 

There was a lot of hype going around about Muse putting out a new track on Radio 1 and XFM that evening. So I listened to a highly excited Zane Lowe yell "Coming up this summer, the return of Muse... I've heard 5 tracks, it's incredible... Stockholm Syndrome... LETS GO!!"

 

The next 5 minutes or so completely blew me away, and the rest is history.

[Map of the Derekmatique]

First song I heard was *surprise* "Starlight" on the radio

I thought they weren't bad, but at the time was going through a more "heavy" phase, in which I was liking more heavy bands

 

I didn't realllllyyyy get hooked to Muse until my friend played their CD in her car, and the song that got me addicted was "Map of the Problematique"

 

hooked ever since

[amoremorte616]

...Wow. I can't honestly remember.

I thinik it might have been KOC... but somethings telling me it was Time is running out. Well. Time is running out was the one that made me obsessed anyway.

[hipbones]

I heard Starlight on the radio and had a snoop to find out who sung it - soon after that I heard SMBH and that was me hooked!

[frenziedsilence]

Heh.. mine was Knights of Cydonia, about a year ago. A friend of mine had found the video online or something, and thought I might like the music... the video kind of made me but I thought 'well the music has potential... what a pretty voice!' Got BHAR, loved it, got Absolution, loved it even more, etc. etc. Am now addicted.

 

...*ahem.*

[Muse_Master]

Plug In Baby

 

January 2006:)

[real&alive]

B & H

[forevermusic]

Supermassive Black Hole on FIFA 07 and on Sky TV.

[PaPeRoRPlAsTiC]

I know for a fact mine was Hysteria, and I immediately went home and downloaded it. My second was Butterflies and Hurricanes.

[Veronica_cy]

'Starlight', two years ago. Muse aren't very famous here in Cyprus, but sometimes they play some of their songs on the radio. So when I heard it, I liked it and downloaded it. Later I told my sister to listen to this song and when I told her that it was from a band called Muse, she told me to listen to another song from them, 'Newborn'. I fell in love with it from the first time.

[angel103]

Unintended.

[Kyrill]

Supermassive Black Hole. But I fell in love with them after hearing Butterflies And Hurricanes & Sing For Absolution.

[Lih Molko]

Muscle Museum

still one of my favorites

[Lynam]

Seen the bliss video on the telly and i was like wow, this is good.. Forgot about it for a while, then seen hysteria and was yep! i'm hooked:D

[Courtney_Muse]

Plug in baby! When I first heard it on some video i watched, i thought it was an ok song especially because of Matt's vocals. Then i bought showbiz. The rest is history

[ChasingDreams]

*downloads sing for absolution*

 

Hmm...nice piano...tinkly...

 

*Matt starts singning*

 

WTF?!

 

*guitar solo kicks in*

 

Ahhhh..Amazing.

 

The rest kind of took care of itself ^_^

[flex-mu]

Well the first song I heard was "New Born".

Of course first the piano was great and then I really loved Matt's voice.

The song left me speechless and the rest....history of course

[terryrangel]

I was definately blown away when I heard Muse for the first time, they are truly talented and their music is so inspirational and different in a great way. I saw them live with MCR last year and I fell in love with them and their music all over again, can't wait to see them again!!!

 

{*TERRY*}

[arisfaelle]

The first song I remember hearing from them is “New Born” but didn’t really listen so much at that time (I was 11 then and too distracted of other stuff)

 

Then forward to 2003 and I got to listen to the whole Origin of Symmetry album and it was the SHT right there (it included “New Born” and I got to listen to it properly) the sounds they were giving was epic and I really loved the raging guitar solos. I particularly LOVE “Plug In Baby” and “Citzen Erased” and I remember really getting hyper. HAHA. I got hooked since then and ALWAYS thanked that there's MUSE in this world

[kenita]

i heard a cd from a magazine (a spanish one) in plug in baby was on it, i thought wow this song is good, what band is it? and it was muse
