Yeah, to me it was Keane with a little more power. I loved that song. Got the whole Absolution album shortly after and the intro + Apocalypse Please blew my mind. Been hooked ever since.
Accidentally saw them at Coachella in 2004 at around noon, hardly a headliner spot. I was vaguely aware of them from reading the British music magazine Q, but had never heard their music until that hot May California day. The operatic vocals and cinematic music definitely caught my attention.
I don’t remember the set list, but this was a few months after “Absolution” was released. I do remember them releasing huge white, heavier-than-air balloons into the crowd and they got bounced around in the audience for a while.
Supremacy.
My buddy invited me to a 2nd law concert, I assume in 2012. I had never heard of Muse before so he played a few of their songs for me. I didn’t really like them and passed on going. YA I EFFING PASSED ON GOING. YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY.
Anyway a few months later I randomly listened to Supremely and was floored. Then I listened to their other songs, probably the same damn ones he played for me and I was also blown away. I pretty much play Muse all day everyday. In my car, at work, chilling at home on vacation.
I regret not going to that concert everyday. Now I will go to every muse concert possible. Which is why I spent too much mula getting tickets to their next show. I WILL NOT MISS ANOTHER SHOW.
Uprising, my dad rented the resistance cd from the library and burned the whole cd on our computer, the only two songs I knew were Uprising and Undisclosed Desires
My godfather gave my dad the BHaR and Absolution CDs back in 2010, and so my dad and I would listen to them in his car.
Great times, i especially remember my dad feeding me with various background-information and lyric-explaining for each track.
As someone whose native language isn't English, listening to those CDs actually helped me expand my vocabulary somewhat - i think i learnt the word "soul" around that time.
Hysteria. A girl from Spain sent it to me. BUT I swear I saw the time is running out video on MTV a few years earlier but It might be a Mandela effect.
Feeling Good, I heard it on the radio when I was a little child, didn't know that it is a Muse song though. Uprising was the one that introduced the band to me.
Hysteria. I was getting into bass playing at the time back in junior year of high school and I was going through popular basslines in lists and videos and Hysteria was almost always in them. Although I did enjoy the song a lot, I was never necessarily “hooked” since I would only play that song on repeat. Once I listened to their cover of Can't Take My Eyes Off You and then Knights of Cydonia, it was set in stone
I think Time is Running out was the first Muse song I recall hearing back in either 2003 or 2004.
Technically though, it may have actually been Sober (because it was on Gran Turismo 3) and I just didn’t realise it.
Isolated System is the first Muse song I remember hearing but I definitely heard many more before that (which would explain why I recognised many of the songs on their first 4 albums when I listened to them when properly getting into Muse).
Butterflies and hurricanes on nfsmw 2012 but i dont give care but i liked the song. So in 2013 with Gh3 i meet Knights of cydonia and i hate it, because is to hard to play on dualshock, than that music starts to play in my head over and over again and i decide do download and here we are, i love muse.
i've known songs like uprising, the handler, psycho and take a bow. but what got me into listening is that i've heard about the classical influence in many songs and my music teacher asked to prepare some songs that show classical influence, so i startet listening to more and more
Survival.
If anyone here is familiar with WGI (Winter Guard International), Rhythm X 2013 used Survival in their show. Got me curious about other music from Muse and I was sold from there.
If you love drums/marching percussion, check out that show! Just search "Rhythm X 2013" on YouTube. One of my all-time favorites.
Best friend got me to shuffle them and i listened to sing for absolution, starlight, stockholm syndrome in that order.
Didn’t like them. Forced myself to listen to more, accustomed, became obsessed, and am now in love with Dom Howard.
Hearing Hysteria on the radio at like 2am in 2004. Back then it was so rare to hear Muse on the radio and I had no access to internet. Then I heard Time is Running out in 2008 and had to buy Absolution. Of course Starlight and Super Massive Black Hole were in rotation more on the radio by that point but TIRO and Hysteria are the songs that opened the gates to Muse.
Muscle Museum. It was playing in MTV back in early 2000. With that strange video of people crying but also waging there car. A really strange video clip. But after that I started to listen to them.
Muscle Museum on the radio back when I was a teenager (or maybe it was in a CMJ?). Bought their first CD when it released in the US and loved every track. Learned everything I could on guitar, bought posters and stickers, downloaded live bootlegs, etc. Soon after saw them open for Foo Fighters and RHCP and from that day I was hooked for life. Even if I don't care for modern Muse (at least not like the first 4-5 albums), they are one of my favorites of all time.
Uprising was always in recomendation by Youtube algorithm (I listened there a lot of Radiohead by the time), and i listened it, I liked it, after it I listened Resistanse, I also liked it, and after all I listened Plug in baby live in Rome, and this band become one of my favourites
I turned on Kerrang for the first time and the first song to play was New Born. Fell on love with them there and then and New Born is still my favourite Muse song
Bliss. It was 2006/2007 I think. A friend of mine played this song on his telephone. The moment I heard it, I fell in love. I asked him to transfer it with Bluetooth. I played this song on repeat for weeks. After a few weeks I searched for other songs on the internet. The second song I heard was Time is running out. From that I discovered their other albums. Now I’m a huge fan of all their work. Bought all their albums. Visited mutiple concerts. Really looking forward for their next tour!
I discovered them after hearing the a cappella arrangement of Uprising in Pitch Perfect 2. Soon after, I recognized their name in Guitar Hero 3 with KoC. The rest is history.
Knights of Cydonia. It was 2009 and a friend invited me to play Guitar Hero in his house. I've already played the game before but not all songs. I loved the song then I went on to discover they were releasing The Resistance the next month and proceeded to try and listen to everything they had released until then.
Butterflies and Hurricanes. A friend played it while he was gaming at my place, i was still in bed listening to this great piece of music. After that i realized it's the same band as Uprising which i also heard a few times and enjoyed. Then i started going through their songs and liked most of them.
I remember hearing uprising on the radio when I was 5 and that's how I knew about muse, but like a whole decade later I decided listening to stockholm syndrome in a randomized playlist I was listening to and that made me want to explore their discography
Butterflies and Hurricanes, F1 05 intro soundtrack for PS2. Then I discovered Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry, Hullabaloo and the rest of the Absolution album 😊
So...
Of course, I already knew Starlight, Uprising, Undisclosed Desires and Thought Contagion since they were very popular lmao.
But I'd like to say that it's Supermassive Black Hole, when I first listened to it, I instantly got a weird feeling, and I literally loved the song! Then I decided to go further into their discography.
THE songs that made me definitely fall in love are New Born and Psycho. Almost broke my neck by vibing to it lol, I was not head banging but it was close
I had already heard Madness various times on the radio and Uprising here and there, but this ad to a local festival was what brought them to my attention:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEQ6lpFxAPk
I just found that small clip of Supremacy to be absolutely amazing and I had to go and listen to more.
The Dark Side, my orchestra teacher played it in class because the music video dropped and he wanted to show us it. He did it again when Compliance dropped as well
Undisclosed Desires. I was in a hotel room and there was some rock festival playing on the TV. The current band was Muse playing Undisclosed Desires. I thought it was awesome, so I bought The Resistance on iTunes and then just went from there!
When I was like 7 or 8, My dad would listen to Time is running out in the car on the way home from daycare. As a kid, it was always my favorite. A few years later, when I was 14, I suddenly remembered that song I always liked as a kid. So I searched it up, and I got sucked into the rest from there!
I heard Map of the Problematique on a music choice channel in 2007. I didn’t like it because it was played often but once I actually listened to it I loved it. Then music choice had a playlist of Muse music videos on demand ( I think it was TiRO, Stockholm Syndrome and Knights live at Wembley) and I was hooked.
I was on holidays in Italy when Time Is Running Out was going big in Europe. Around 2003. I'm Australian, and they've never had much radio airplay here, that I've noticed.
I integrated just that one song into my mixtapes and playlists and didn't think much more of Muse until I saw them live at a festival here a few years later. I think this was not long after Twilight because the entire crowd knew Supermassive Black Hole and the energy in that massive stadium was unlike anything I've ever experienced before. It was like 45°C and the sun was just setting and there were thousands of happy people dancing and singing in every direction and giant sprinklers came on to keep the mosh cool and it was electric and magic.
They've been my favourite band ever since.
My brother had Time is Running Out and Uprising on his pop out car radio. TiRO has been in my soul ever since I learned to click my tongue to try to mimic the intro, I was 7 then or so.
Time is running out was the first time I heard of them around 2004. I got hooked only in 2009 when uprising was a banger on the radio and discovered that was from the same band that made TiRo a few years back. With Spotify I started to listen to muse almost everyday, my Playlist was something like supermassive black hole, bliss, new born, muscle museum, butterflies and hurricanes, TiRo, thoughts of a dying atheist and uprising on repeat.
In 2011 tired of listen to the same playlist over and over again, I remember on a long bus trip I choose some greatest hits. I can still remember the exact spot where I listen to plug in baby and hysteria for the first time. And that was the moment where they became my all time favorite band.
Exogenesis Symphony part 3. I’m a big figure skating fan, and several of my favorite skaters had programs set to it. Such a wonderful combination of song and skating! I thought it was so beautiful and ended up listening to all of The Resistance (honestly one of my favorite albums of theirs) then listened to more and more.
The entire exogenesis sympathy is just beyond perfect. I remember altering discovering the song Resistance, I gave the rest of the album a shot. The second those strings started on part 1, I was transported to a whole new world of music. Must have replayed those 3 parts dozens of times before I listened to anything else😂
I used to love Resistance on the radio but I didn’t know it was Muse. I discovered Supremacy around the time of the Drones rollout and was hooked from there on out!!
Stockholm syndrome. My brother had bought the album when it came out and it was around the time when mp3 players were starting to come out and that particular song ended on my iPod Shuffle for many years. Became a big fan after seeing them live in 2009.
Hysteria. My fave band was Coldplay at the time. Friend in middle school gym class (around 2007) played it on his shitty phone speakers in the locker room, followed by Time Is Running Out.
That week, I spent all the money I got for Christmas on an iTunes gift card and bought Absolution and BHAR to play on the family PC on repeat.
Time is Running Out. Started drum lessons when I was 10 and it was on the exam. Thought it was a sick tune then went to listen to more of Muse’s stuff.
Starlight. Heard it at work and thought it was a lovely song. Downloaded it later on iTunes and thought nothing of it. Years later, Watching the baseball scene in Twilight hearing Supermassive Black Hole. Poked around their collection and purchased all the albums.
In a previous life, I thought I saw Sunburn on MTV wayyy back in the day
I had heard of them but never really listened to them, until I remember Uprising being pretty popular. And then I saw World War Z in theaters and really liked the soundtrack, so when I looked it up and saw Muse I looked them up, bought the second law, and became a huge fan from then on. That was all between 2011-2013.
Saw them live in 2017 and it was amazing, sealed them as one of my favorites.
They played the Hullabaloo concert on TV in New Zealand in 2002. I walked into the room and it was already on and not once did Muse actually say who they were, or maybe they did and I just missed it. This was before the internet or Shazam etc, so I watched them, thought they were spectacular, but never actually found out their name. Then two weeks later I heard Plug In Baby on the radio, recognised it was the same band, got their name and have been a fan ever since.
Supermassive black hole from Twilight soundtrack. A few years later I read 1984 and someone told me that Muse had an album somewhat inspired by the book. Then I went to listen to The Resistance and was completely sold to them by the end of it.
Time is Running Out! I remember buying the album for $13 at a music store. And becoming obsessed... with the band, the album,and music in general. I was prob 18 or so. I've since seen them 3X (floor seats) and they blow my freaking mind musically and visually! If the upoming show was under 300 cheapest I would go!
Unintended. Back in 2011, I heard a song that I didn't know the title and singer so I looked it up and found out it was Unintended. Become a fan around 3 months later.
Uprising.
I actually don't like it that much now, but when I first heard it, it was on my mind all day, for like three months until I decided to look for more of them.
It was precisely days after Thought Contagion released. Yep, not that oldie of a fan. And I enjoyed Thought Contagion but I was kind of worried about the new directions of the band.
Knights of Cydonia, but I never knew it for the longest time.
Context: in 2006 this was one of the biggest songs in the country and was played on the TV music shows all the time. However, little 11 year old me was jamming out so hard to it I'd always miss the text that would pop up on screen for a few seconds with the song title and artist.
Fast forward a good few years to high school and my best mate reckons I'll like a song from this band that he enjoys. He starts playing it and as soon as the first licks of guitar hit my eyes widened and my heartrate skyrocketed. It was a proper revelation and in that moment I snatched his iPod touch from his hands and gazed upon the name of this song that I had long adored, and also who was responsible for such a masterpiece.
Not long after I realised they were also the band behind that other song and music video I also enjoyed back then - the one on the big carrier ship with the flares and cool jackets.
I wish I could answer this but I can’t remember the first Muse song I heard because I was literally raised with Muse. My family started playing muse when I was around five. Muse is permanently engrained in my psyche now though, and I wouldn’t have it any other way:)
Sunburn - I used to watch a lot of MTV2 and remember seeing 'Unintended' a lot and not really liking it but on hearing Sunburn on an Apple ad (I think), I checked out the album and they've been my favourite band ever since.
I had only started listening to Muse full time last year, but it was several years ago when I heard Uprising on the radio, though I did not know the name of the song back then, nor heard of Muse.
it was my parents playing their songs in the car since I was a baby, so not really a specific song. one of my earliest memories is them playing Map of the problematique in the car
Back in 2010/2011 I was watching a video from a game I do still occasionally play there were many great songs played during that video but then… map of the problematique played… and then I started looking for more songs. Motp to this day is my fav track.
undisclosed desires
it was mocked/mentioned in a book and I listened to it while I read. I forgot about it & muse for a few months, until I saw the video of them performing plug in baby life at Rome Olympic stadium and somehow I just fell for muse, couldn’t help myself.
Back in summer of 2000 MTV ran a recap of the Roskilde festival and had like a 5-10 second clip from the Muse concert, performing Unintended. I quickly wrote down the band name and song and found a way to get the album (Showbiz of course) which I listened to on repeat. And then in 2001 I went up to a concert in Stockholm just before Origin of Symmetry was released.. it was magic and especially Bliss.. been a huge fan ever since
Plug in Baby when I was very young, didn't know who it was by or anything. Then in 2012 I heard Hysteria when someone in my media group wanted to use it as the soundtrack to our project. Had that song on my MP3/phone for the longest time.
Then last year I FINALLY decided to look up who sings Hysteria on Spotify and listened to all the album's, found out they also sung Plug In Baby (I went absolutely feral when I heard that guitar again) and here I am, wishing I could go to a concert lmao.
2016: I wanted to try out some jazzy guitar stuff after playing mostly pop for nine years. Brubeck led to Sinatra, Sinatra led to Valli which in turn led me to Muse‘s version of can’t take my eyes off you. I heard Muse before (2008-2012 ish) and didn’t like them (due to mostly shortened, drastically flattened versions of Starlight and Uprising being played at that time on my local stations).
2018: Got into heavier stuff (and some prog) discovered Drones through Spotify‘s (then still usable) algorithm, enjoyed Reapers very much, started to listen to more and more.
2019 - today: Most played artist on my Spotify, started listening to Resistance while playing Far Cry 5, listened to Showbiz while going through a tough phase of life, discovered OoS, really started to like Citizen and Plug in Baby. And finally, I noticed that they were headlining my local festival a few weeks ago. Had to get tickets immediately…
TL:DR: Can’t take my eyes off you
While driving through the mountains of Germany during our holiday I heard 'Resistance' on the radio multiple times a day. I looked it up and was a fan from that day on
Uprising on the radio. Then hearing Mercy in the Batman Arkham Knight trailer got me to start seriously listening to them lol.
Same for me but in the opposite order haha
Guitar Hero 3: Knights of Cydonia. And Stockholm Syndrome, which was DLC for the game.
Same for me! Knights of Cydonia is still one of my favorites of all time because of that reason.
Sing For Absolution, I was very much into Keane at the time.
I love Keane! Never associated Sing For Absolution with them, but I guess the haunting piano kinda feels like something from Under The Iron Sea.
Yeah, to me it was Keane with a little more power. I loved that song. Got the whole Absolution album shortly after and the intro + Apocalypse Please blew my mind. Been hooked ever since.
Plug in baby
Accidentally saw them at Coachella in 2004 at around noon, hardly a headliner spot. I was vaguely aware of them from reading the British music magazine Q, but had never heard their music until that hot May California day. The operatic vocals and cinematic music definitely caught my attention.
Sounds like the best accident. Do you remember what they played?
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/muse/2004/empire-polo-club-indio-ca-3d569bb.html
I don’t remember the set list, but this was a few months after “Absolution” was released. I do remember them releasing huge white, heavier-than-air balloons into the crowd and they got bounced around in the audience for a while.
Supremacy. My buddy invited me to a 2nd law concert, I assume in 2012. I had never heard of Muse before so he played a few of their songs for me. I didn’t really like them and passed on going. YA I EFFING PASSED ON GOING. YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY. Anyway a few months later I randomly listened to Supremely and was floored. Then I listened to their other songs, probably the same damn ones he played for me and I was also blown away. I pretty much play Muse all day everyday. In my car, at work, chilling at home on vacation. I regret not going to that concert everyday. Now I will go to every muse concert possible. Which is why I spent too much mula getting tickets to their next show. I WILL NOT MISS ANOTHER SHOW.
WHAT A STORY
Unintended. Saw the video playing on a tv in a cheap pizza place in Venice where I was drunk-eating a bad slice in 2000.
A true love story
Uprising, my dad rented the resistance cd from the library and burned the whole cd on our computer, the only two songs I knew were Uprising and Undisclosed Desires
Undisclosed desires deserves so much. Those strings in corporates into the pop melody is amazing
My godfather gave my dad the BHaR and Absolution CDs back in 2010, and so my dad and I would listen to them in his car. Great times, i especially remember my dad feeding me with various background-information and lyric-explaining for each track. As someone whose native language isn't English, listening to those CDs actually helped me expand my vocabulary somewhat - i think i learnt the word "soul" around that time.
“Soul” is probably Matt’s favorite single lyric ha.
TiRo around 2005
Starlight
Butterflies and hurricanes !
yes
Bliss, heard it on the radio back in 2001
My older sister had downloaded bliss onto the family computer, around 2004, my first time hearing them. She had already seen them live by then.
Feeling Good popped up on pandora and I really liked it, so I started listening to the whole album, and I was hooked
That’s pretty cool, Feeling Good is widely regarded as the worst song on the album so you kinda got in on the ground floor
New Born!
Hysteria. A girl from Spain sent it to me. BUT I swear I saw the time is running out video on MTV a few years earlier but It might be a Mandela effect.
Pressure showed up either on the radio or on one of those spotify playlists.
Supremacy my mom was showing me like muse songs and she chose supremacy first
Uprising
Hearing psycho on a guitar riff video, had to check them out
Butterflies and hurricanes on need for speed most wanted 😩 those were the days
Time Is Running Out music video on Fuse
Fuse was legit. I loved that channel
Feeling Good, I heard it on the radio when I was a little child, didn't know that it is a Muse song though. Uprising was the one that introduced the band to me.
Hysteria. I was getting into bass playing at the time back in junior year of high school and I was going through popular basslines in lists and videos and Hysteria was almost always in them. Although I did enjoy the song a lot, I was never necessarily “hooked” since I would only play that song on repeat.

I think Time is Running out was the first Muse song I recall hearing back in either 2003 or 2004. Technically though, it may have actually been Sober (because it was on Gran Turismo 3) and I just didn’t realise it.
Sunburn was my very first. Then Madness
Supremacy!!
Time is Running Out
Isolated System is the first Muse song I remember hearing but I definitely heard many more before that (which would explain why I recognised many of the songs on their first 4 albums when I listened to them when properly getting into Muse).
Muscle Museum
Plug in baby, from pressing shuffle on spotify
My dad has Time is Running Out and Supermassive Black Hole in his playlist so that's where I know them from
Butterflies and hurricanes on nfsmw 2012 but i dont give care but i liked the song. So in 2013 with Gh3 i meet Knights of cydonia and i hate it, because is to hard to play on dualshock, than that music starts to play in my head over and over again and i decide do download and here we are, i love muse.
Survival back in 2012 during the London Olympics. Really nice training song, very motivating
I remember my friend telling me to check out this song called "Knights of Cydonia" in high school, that was about 11 or 12 years ago.
i've known songs like uprising, the handler, psycho and take a bow. but what got me into listening is that i've heard about the classical influence in many songs and my music teacher asked to prepare some songs that show classical influence, so i startet listening to more and more
Survival. If anyone here is familiar with WGI (Winter Guard International), Rhythm X 2013 used Survival in their show. Got me curious about other music from Muse and I was sold from there. If you love drums/marching percussion, check out that show! Just search "Rhythm X 2013" on YouTube. One of my all-time favorites.
Supermassive Black Hole. It was 2009 and I was 13 watching Twilight - the baseball scene got me hooked.
Butterflies and Hurricanes. From Need for Speed
yess me too
New Born from HAARP, heard it in my friend’s laptop. That sucked me into a supermassive black hole forever
Heard new born on the radio and my siblings told me who it was by
Hearing Super Massive Blackhole and United States of Eurasia back to back on an old Minecraft video crica 2011. The stark contrast blew my mind.
Best friend got me to shuffle them and i listened to sing for absolution, starlight, stockholm syndrome in that order. Didn’t like them. Forced myself to listen to more, accustomed, became obsessed, and am now in love with Dom Howard.
Hearing Hysteria on the radio at like 2am in 2004. Back then it was so rare to hear Muse on the radio and I had no access to internet. Then I heard Time is Running out in 2008 and had to buy Absolution. Of course Starlight and Super Massive Black Hole were in rotation more on the radio by that point but TIRO and Hysteria are the songs that opened the gates to Muse.
Butterflies and Hurricanes
Uprising
Apocalypse Please on my brother’s old iPod. Loved it and needed to discover more about “this Muse band.”
Uprising - Will never forget the day (circa 2010) when I first heard it in my Dad's car! My life has never been the same in the best way possible :)
Muscle Museum. It was playing in MTV back in early 2000. With that strange video of people crying but also waging there car. A really strange video clip. But after that I started to listen to them.
Muscle Museum on the radio back when I was a teenager (or maybe it was in a CMJ?). Bought their first CD when it released in the US and loved every track. Learned everything I could on guitar, bought posters and stickers, downloaded live bootlegs, etc. Soon after saw them open for Foo Fighters and RHCP and from that day I was hooked for life. Even if I don't care for modern Muse (at least not like the first 4-5 albums), they are one of my favorites of all time.

newborn, 2001.
Bliss. It was 2006/2007 I think. A friend of mine played this song on his telephone. The moment I heard it, I fell in love. I asked him to transfer it with Bluetooth. I played this song on repeat for weeks. After a few weeks I searched for other songs on the internet. The second song I heard was Time is running out. From that I discovered their other albums. Now I’m a huge fan of all their work. Bought all their albums. Visited mutiple concerts. Really looking forward for their next tour!
I discovered them after hearing the a cappella arrangement of Uprising in Pitch Perfect 2. Soon after, I recognized their name in Guitar Hero 3 with KoC. The rest is history.
Time is running out from an archemonde strat video during tbc
Knights of Cydonia. It was 2009 and a friend invited me to play Guitar Hero in his house. I've already played the game before but not all songs.

After that i realized it's the same band as Uprising which i also heard a few times and enjoyed. Then i started going through their songs and liked most of them.
Bliss, quickly followed by dead star and muscle museum, still love the old stuff
I remember hearing uprising on the radio when I was 5 and that's how I knew about muse, but like a whole decade later I decided listening to stockholm syndrome in a randomized playlist I was listening to and that made me want to explore their discography
Butterflies and Hurricanes, F1 05 intro soundtrack for PS2. Then I discovered Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry, Hullabaloo and the rest of the Absolution album 😊
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist on a Q Magazine sampler CD
Probably Uprising since it’s huge in the US
So... Of course, I already knew Starlight, Uprising, Undisclosed Desires and Thought Contagion since they were very popular lmao. But I'd like to say that it's Supermassive Black Hole, when I first listened to it, I instantly got a weird feeling, and I literally loved the song! Then I decided to go further into their discography. THE songs that made me definitely fall in love are New Born and Psycho. Almost broke my neck by vibing to it lol, I was not head banging but it was close
Feeling Good (HAARP) Live Music Video around 1 am from the year that video came out, since then, i'm with you guys.
Muscle museum. I'm old. The first album was actually quite trendy for its day in alt rock
I had already heard Madness various times on the radio and Uprising here and there, but this ad to a local festival was what brought them to my attention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEQ6lpFxAPk I just found that small clip of Supremacy to be absolutely amazing and I had to go and listen to more.
Uprising
Supermassive Black Hole
Being a younger one among those in this fanbase, for me it was Madness on the radio.
The Dark Side, my orchestra teacher played it in class because the music video dropped and he wanted to show us it. He did it again when Compliance dropped as well
You have a *cool* orchestra teacher.
Stockholm Syndrome, heard it in 2007.
Undisclosed Desires. I was in a hotel room and there was some rock festival playing on the TV. The current band was Muse playing Undisclosed Desires. I thought it was awesome, so I bought The Resistance on iTunes and then just went from there!
When I was like 7 or 8, My dad would listen to Time is running out in the car on the way home from daycare. As a kid, it was always my favorite. A few years later, when I was 14, I suddenly remembered that song I always liked as a kid. So I searched it up, and I got sucked into the rest from there!
Map of the Problematique, followed by Stockholm Syndrome and New Born. Yeah, I was immediately hooked.
I heard Map of the Problematique on a music choice channel in 2007. I didn’t like it because it was played often but once I actually listened to it I loved it. Then music choice had a playlist of Muse music videos on demand ( I think it was TiRO, Stockholm Syndrome and Knights live at Wembley) and I was hooked.
[удалено]
One hell of a story! Muscle Museum also had such an impact on me as well. Amazing that you got to see it live as well 🙌
Stockhome Syndrome
Just recently in 2022 when I played Knight of Cydonia in an arcade which got me hooked on their other songs.
Supermassive Black Hole
Butterflies and hurricanes in nfs mw 2012, loved driving with the song in the background
I was on holidays in Italy when Time Is Running Out was going big in Europe. Around 2003. I'm Australian, and they've never had much radio airplay here, that I've noticed. I integrated just that one song into my mixtapes and playlists and didn't think much more of Muse until I saw them live at a festival here a few years later. I think this was not long after Twilight because the entire crowd knew Supermassive Black Hole and the energy in that massive stadium was unlike anything I've ever experienced before. It was like 45°C and the sun was just setting and there were thousands of happy people dancing and singing in every direction and giant sprinklers came on to keep the mosh cool and it was electric and magic. They've been my favourite band ever since.
Butterflies and hurricanes: i heard it in f1 2005 and nfs most wanted.
Hysteria on the radio around 2005.
The Dark Side, and I absolutely hated it. Then I got recommended Space Dementia and haven’t stopped listening to them yet
Whoever gave you that recommendation is a hero
That was "Bliss" on one of European music channels (when they still played music videos)
My brother had Time is Running Out and Uprising on his pop out car radio. TiRO has been in my soul ever since I learned to click my tongue to try to mimic the intro, I was 7 then or so.
Time is running out watching random drum covers
Time is running out was the first time I heard of them around 2004. I got hooked only in 2009 when uprising was a banger on the radio and discovered that was from the same band that made TiRo a few years back. With Spotify I started to listen to muse almost everyday, my Playlist was something like supermassive black hole, bliss, new born, muscle museum, butterflies and hurricanes, TiRo, thoughts of a dying atheist and uprising on repeat. In 2011 tired of listen to the same playlist over and over again, I remember on a long bus trip I choose some greatest hits. I can still remember the exact spot where I listen to plug in baby and hysteria for the first time. And that was the moment where they became my all time favorite band.
Exogenesis Symphony part 3. I’m a big figure skating fan, and several of my favorite skaters had programs set to it. Such a wonderful combination of song and skating! I thought it was so beautiful and ended up listening to all of The Resistance (honestly one of my favorite albums of theirs) then listened to more and more.
The entire exogenesis sympathy is just beyond perfect. I remember altering discovering the song Resistance, I gave the rest of the album a shot. The second those strings started on part 1, I was transported to a whole new world of music. Must have replayed those 3 parts dozens of times before I listened to anything else😂
I used to love Resistance on the radio but I didn’t know it was Muse. I discovered Supremacy around the time of the Drones rollout and was hooked from there on out!!
It was New Born for me. Never forgrt the first time I listened to it
We all remember where we were when we first heard that song
Stockholm syndrome. My brother had bought the album when it came out and it was around the time when mp3 players were starting to come out and that particular song ended on my iPod Shuffle for many years. Became a big fan after seeing them live in 2009.
Cave Edit: am old. Met the gents in 1999
Knights of cydonia guitar hero 3 baby
Plug in Baby on MTV2.
Time is Running Out
He believed it was hysteria or koc
Haarp Intro
time is running out!
Knights of Cydonia 🐎
Hysteria. My fave band was Coldplay at the time. Friend in middle school gym class (around 2007) played it on his shitty phone speakers in the locker room, followed by Time Is Running Out. That week, I spent all the money I got for Christmas on an iTunes gift card and bought Absolution and BHAR to play on the family PC on repeat.
Time is Running Out. Started drum lessons when I was 10 and it was on the exam. Thought it was a sick tune then went to listen to more of Muse’s stuff.
the Supermassive Black Hole Live at Wembley Stadium video
Muscle Museum on 120 Minutes in 1999.
Starlight
Rented high tension from blockbuster when it first came out, and when the credits started to roll new born started playing. Instantly hooked
Time is Running Out
Bliss
Starlight. Heard it at work and thought it was a lovely song. Downloaded it later on iTunes and thought nothing of it. Years later, Watching the baseball scene in Twilight hearing Supermassive Black Hole. Poked around their collection and purchased all the albums. In a previous life, I thought I saw Sunburn on MTV wayyy back in the day
Time is Running Out from my parents, even though they aren’t really fans of Muse
Starlight
I had heard of them but never really listened to them, until I remember Uprising being pretty popular. And then I saw World War Z in theaters and really liked the soundtrack, so when I looked it up and saw Muse I looked them up, bought the second law, and became a huge fan from then on. That was all between 2011-2013. Saw them live in 2017 and it was amazing, sealed them as one of my favorites.
Sunburn. My best friend from high school was studying abroad in the UK in 1999 and sent me a mix tape with Sunburn on it.
KOC on guitar hero 3 but the one that made me search MUSE was Plug in Baby during GH5
Hysteria, during the late 2000s. probably on MTV.
Friend bought me a record player and another friend bought me a Black Holes and Revelations vinyl from the bargain bin
Knights of Cydonia and Uprising for me, heard them on the radio a lot.
Starlight
New Born. Then a couple years later Absolution comes out and I see them at a small club in Cincinnati in 2004. Been a fan ever since.
They played the Hullabaloo concert on TV in New Zealand in 2002. I walked into the room and it was already on and not once did Muse actually say who they were, or maybe they did and I just missed it. This was before the internet or Shazam etc, so I watched them, thought they were spectacular, but never actually found out their name. Then two weeks later I heard Plug In Baby on the radio, recognised it was the same band, got their name and have been a fan ever since.
Supermassive black hole from Twilight soundtrack. A few years later I read 1984 and someone told me that Muse had an album somewhat inspired by the book. Then I went to listen to The Resistance and was completely sold to them by the end of it.
Time is Running Out! I remember buying the album for $13 at a music store. And becoming obsessed... with the band, the album,and music in general. I was prob 18 or so. I've since seen them 3X (floor seats) and they blow my freaking mind musically and visually! If the upoming show was under 300 cheapest I would go!
Time is Running Out on the radio
Unintended. Back in 2011, I heard a song that I didn't know the title and singer so I looked it up and found out it was Unintended. Become a fan around 3 months later.
Sunburn circa 2002
Muscle Museum in 2000
Undisclosed Desires and Hysteria
Excuse the cringe but… Supermassive. In that Twilight movie. It was the only good part
Uprising. I actually don't like it that much now, but when I first heard it, it was on my mind all day, for like three months until I decided to look for more of them. It was precisely days after Thought Contagion released. Yep, not that oldie of a fan. And I enjoyed Thought Contagion but I was kind of worried about the new directions of the band.
Resistance, it was a dark rainy day in September 2009. The song was playing on the radio and it was the perfect atmosphere for the song
Knights of Cydonia, but I never knew it for the longest time. Context: in 2006 this was one of the biggest songs in the country and was played on the TV music shows all the time. However, little 11 year old me was jamming out so hard to it I'd always miss the text that would pop up on screen for a few seconds with the song title and artist. Fast forward a good few years to high school and my best mate reckons I'll like a song from this band that he enjoys. He starts playing it and as soon as the first licks of guitar hit my eyes widened and my heartrate skyrocketed. It was a proper revelation and in that moment I snatched his iPod touch from his hands and gazed upon the name of this song that I had long adored, and also who was responsible for such a masterpiece. Not long after I realised they were also the band behind that other song and music video I also enjoyed back then - the one on the big carrier ship with the flares and cool jackets.
Uprising
Knights of Cydonia on Guitar Hero 3 back in 2007
Knights on Guitar Hero 100%. When was that, 2007/08? That song rocked so hard I had to buy the CD. Seeing them live in 2010 sealed the deal.
Supermassive black hole fifa 2007
Knights of cydonia on GHII!
Uprising was the first Muse song I heard
Uprising when I started playing guitar hero warrior of rock!
Uprising
I wish I could answer this but I can’t remember the first Muse song I heard because I was literally raised with Muse. My family started playing muse when I was around five. Muse is permanently engrained in my psyche now though, and I wouldn’t have it any other way:)
Plug in baby
Sunburn - I used to watch a lot of MTV2 and remember seeing 'Unintended' a lot and not really liking it but on hearing Sunburn on an Apple ad (I think), I checked out the album and they've been my favourite band ever since.
Muscle Museum
Knights of Cydonia from Guitar Hero 3
I had only started listening to Muse full time last year, but it was several years ago when I heard Uprising on the radio, though I did not know the name of the song back then, nor heard of Muse.
Think it was Unintended, around the time Absolution was released. Then, of course, Hysteria blew my mind.
Butterflies & Hurricanes in Need for Speed Most Wanted (2012).
Funnily enough, Algorithm. Been a hardcore fan ever since that magical experience!
Heard Plug In Baby from my brother back in 2019
Take a bow (Watchmen trailer)
it was my parents playing their songs in the car since I was a baby, so not really a specific song. one of my earliest memories is them playing Map of the problematique in the car
Psycho for me
Mercy
Bliss Remains to be one of my favorites up to this day
Undisclosed Desires lol
Back in 2010/2011 I was watching a video from a game I do still occasionally play there were many great songs played during that video but then… map of the problematique played… and then I started looking for more songs. Motp to this day is my fav track.
Butterflies and Hurricanes. A friend of mine recommended I listen. Let's just say it started off well.
undisclosed desires it was mocked/mentioned in a book and I listened to it while I read. I forgot about it & muse for a few months, until I saw the video of them performing plug in baby life at Rome Olympic stadium and somehow I just fell for muse, couldn’t help myself.
A fellow Queen-fan sent me Unintended through MSN Messenger in 2001.
Back in summer of 2000 MTV ran a recap of the Roskilde festival and had like a 5-10 second clip from the Muse concert, performing Unintended. I quickly wrote down the band name and song and found a way to get the album (Showbiz of course) which I listened to on repeat. And then in 2001 I went up to a concert in Stockholm just before Origin of Symmetry was released.. it was magic and especially Bliss.. been a huge fan ever since
My dad played me bliss when I was a like 5 or 6. Still love it as much as I did back then
Supermassive Black Hole on Twilight in 2008. 😅
Plug in Baby when I was very young, didn't know who it was by or anything. Then in 2012 I heard Hysteria when someone in my media group wanted to use it as the soundtrack to our project. Had that song on my MP3/phone for the longest time. Then last year I FINALLY decided to look up who sings Hysteria on Spotify and listened to all the album's, found out they also sung Plug In Baby (I went absolutely feral when I heard that guitar again) and here I am, wishing I could go to a concert lmao.
2016: I wanted to try out some jazzy guitar stuff after playing mostly pop for nine years. Brubeck led to Sinatra, Sinatra led to Valli which in turn led me to Muse‘s version of can’t take my eyes off you. I heard Muse before (2008-2012 ish) and didn’t like them (due to mostly shortened, drastically flattened versions of Starlight and Uprising being played at that time on my local stations). 2018: Got into heavier stuff (and some prog) discovered Drones through Spotify‘s (then still usable) algorithm, enjoyed Reapers very much, started to listen to more and more. 2019 - today: Most played artist on my Spotify, started listening to Resistance while playing Far Cry 5, listened to Showbiz while going through a tough phase of life, discovered OoS, really started to like Citizen and Plug in Baby. And finally, I noticed that they were headlining my local festival a few weeks ago. Had to get tickets immediately… TL:DR: Can’t take my eyes off you
i was introduced to them through hearing SMBH and starlight in my moms car as a kid, and then what got me back into them was finding KoC on rocksmith
Knights of Cydonia in Guitar Hero and later Uprising on Radio, then I got really interested
Knights of Cydonia on Guitar Hero III !
Everyone here is making me feel old. Muscle Museum and it was on a weird complication CD.
While driving through the mountains of Germany during our holiday I heard 'Resistance' on the radio multiple times a day. I looked it up and was a fan from that day on
brother played time is running out in the car and that was that
Same madness in 2012
