Edit: in hullabaloo concert..... (I skipped the DeadStar (my uncle skipped) :D

[Ollie of Symmetry]

Mine was also Newborn on Kerrang in 2001...then ended up goin to see em a month or so afterwards ;) twas fukin 12 at the time...haha...:p

[JamieK]

cool, cool. yeah i cant really say i dont like any muse song.Microcuts is cool

[rust_relic]

first one i heard was cave on radio 1, bought the single and all of them since then :)

[pedrogzappa]

cool, cool. yeah i cant really say i dont like any muse song.Microcuts is cool

MicroCuts is just the most brutal song MUSE have.... as good as Stockholm Syndrome... but MicroCuts... just astonixing.... I was breathless whwn the music was over!!!

"WOW that as MUSE?!?!"

That evening changed my life!!! :D

[pedrogzappa]

first one i heard was cave on radio 1, bought the single and all of them since then :)

CAve is a really cool song!!!! one of the finest!!!

[Truth n*5]

Muscle Museum on the radio. :D

I remember that at a party in June 2000, when this song came on, everybody began singing it around a massive bonefire, it was really a cool moment. ah, nostalgia! :happy:

[JamieK]

Most of my mates didnt like muse or know who they were so i was pretty much on my own but i agonisily waited for the next album/single/b side and really knew i was a big fan after that and it felt good.

[pedrogzappa]

Muscle is a really cool song!! A love all of them!!! The video is a bit wierd.... nut... that's what's cool!! :LOL:

[Evilduck]

I can't remember too well, but I think it was Bliss or Plug In Baby. I wasn't into them too much in OOS days.

[Emz.]

TIRO on Kerrang is when I started to get into Muse. But I did hear of them before, like New Born & Bliss. But really didnt like them nor took interest, my Dads mate went 'Muse, Muse! What a silly band name' :LOL:

I kinda regret of ignoring New Born & Bliss at the time!

[Aisling]

Sunburn in that iMac advert :D

[Old Man Pigeon]

Sunburn on the radio back in 00
I thought it was Radiohead at first so i listened closely and loved it only to find out it was some band called Muse, honestly!
I ignored them for a bit sticking my nose up at the Radiohead wannabes until i heard Plug In Baby which blew my mind. I bought Showbiz and OOS which also both blew my mind. I never looked back and now Radiohead can go fuck themselves

[peep]

feeling good on some channel 4 studio performance (though i had heard of muse before). i was like "oooo he's singing through a megaphone, hes got red flowers all up his mic stand, and they've named themselves muse....." and i was in love.

other moments which increased my fandom x100000....
when they played the brit awards in 2004 (i think), their performance just stood out so much from the whole rest of the show it really showed they were something else.
and the first time i watched the hullaballo performance, i was just blown away.

[Funguy]

Plug in baby. heard that opening riff and was hooked!

[Requiem1394]

It would be Citizen Erased. It was back in 2002... I like it but never followed the band until Absolution.

[pira]

Blister (in my eye)/Plug in penis/Newpr0n. One of those. :erm:

I think... maybe not.

Anyway, it was on the 2nd of February 2002 (how sad that I remember) I got into them. Heard them before though.

My first Muse song was 'Unintended'

Unintended... ohh Unintended :$ :LOL:

Really good song to listin to with or thinkin or a girl friend (or boy deppending the gender) :D

[Sixer]

Time is running out played on the radio all the time when it was released here in the US and thats what got me hooked on muse. I never even heard of them before TIRO.

[The Akaviri Knight]

Unintended... ohh Unintended :$ :LOL:

Really good song to listin to with or thinkin or a girl friend (or boy deppending the gender) :D

Or wasn't that what you meant?

[pedrogzappa]

Yes, it would be rather silly to call your girlfriend your boyfriend. :erm:

Or wasn't that what you meant?

I was been general.... Mine will be a girl!! And i will call mine not yours :LOL:

Now there can be Gay people around!!! (don't want to arm any one ok!!!) so that i sayd both sides girl or boy!!! :)Ah never mind then. I thought that with 'depending on the gender', you meant or a 'boyfriend if you're a girl'. So I was like, 'omg, what about the gaylords :(?'. But you don't. :)

[paper clip]

my first muse song was hysteria. heard it about a year and a half ago i think. i loved it, then bought absolution, which led to getting every single song i could find...

[zaltakid2000]

Mine was Stockholm Syndrome from Rock Am Ring back in... march of this past year and since then i bought all there albums saw them in concert and have fallen in love. its kind of a funny story how i got into them i was searching for Radiohead videos on google video and that came up so i decided whatever ill check it out. so i downloaded it put it on my ipod and once i saw matt pull the cabinet out and start playing that riff at the end of stockholm on top of it... ive been in love! and also cause chris and dom remind me of the bassist and drummer in my band

Stockholm Syndrome is bombastic!!! Destructive....

The Messege is great...... Listen to the lyrics carefully (the lyrics are the best in MUSE :D)

[abc123aac]

my first muse song i herd was new born from my friend. then i went out and got the cd

[cdtcdtc]

i heard newborn about 4-5 years ago.. when some guy in my school put it on, and then played it on guitar.... thought it was quite cool. so i bought a guitar and learning every single mUse song

[AndiC]

Time is running out.

I'd never heard of muse before absolution, unfortunately :(

[Khalid]

my first muse song i herd was new born from my friend. then i went out and got the cd

Same for me.

[Ritsukakn]

Hyper Music oO'

[<O>]

Mine was when their Feeling Good song was on the Nescafe advert. I thought "that sounds awesome" but i never knew it was Muse. I soon heard New Born and Plug In Baby and fell in love with them.

[Peroxide Pixie]

The first songs I heard were Plug in Baby and New Born years ago. They did not get me hooked, I quite liked both songs but I didn't really pay any attention to Muse until I heard Hysteria and Time is Running Out when I was searching for albums to buy my boyfriend for his birthday, all of his Muse got lost after several moves and lending them to people.... instead of buying him all the albums I bought them all for me :D

[supermassivegirl]

Muscle Museum, then I fell in love..

[Clunge]

Being bombarded by Bliss, Newborn and Plug In Baby on MTV2 at my nan's.

I'd heard the riff to Newborn and loved it but I didn't know it was Newborn. Then it came on starting with the piano and for once, I listened through rather than turning over and WHAM! Riffage and Muse lovage.

Downloaded Newborn and Bliss and I was hooked.

[NATHL10]

i had to learn the drums to muscle museum for a music exam in 2001. i loved the song and they just happened to be releasing OOS at the same time and so i bummed that album and rest is history :p

[Abbilina]

Mine was Dark Shines sometime in 2002 - a friend of mine (who is now my best mate :D) used to have Darkshine Assassin as an online name and I wanted to know where it came from, so they sent me Dark Shines and I got hooked :D

[123bs]

my first ever one was butterflies and hurricanes on the PS2 formula 1 game last year ..i thought it was ok ... and then the next song i heard which was some 8 months later was time is running out .. since then ive been hooked !

[Georgy Drachenkoeter]

Hysteria on the radio, some days before Christmas.
My friend told me she herad something by a band called Muse some weeks ago, and so I stoped what I was doing and listened. But it took 2 more years to become actually addicted and obsessed.

[Muse'R]

Unintended from my mum's computer .. :D

[insane_muser]

New Born :D:D ahhhh good times

[Reevo]

Bliss on kerrang TV liked the video, liked the song, liked the band

[Krazy Cat]

Muscle Museum, then Sunburn. Had to buy them straight away.

[Splinter]

PiB was my first "Muse experience". Loved Bliss and New Born, started buying albums when Abso came out.

[In Muse World]

mine was new born in 2001 (june.. i think)..after was bliss (that i hated..but now is one of my favourite songs..or even my favourite)..feeling good.. hyper music(th one who made me adore muse).. plug in baby.. months later was dead star.. muscle museum.. in your world.. unintended (on a tv program) and for many months later they released stockholm syndrome and bla bla bla bla bla and i`m here listening muse today:D
amen

[In Muse World]

New Born :D:D ahhhh good times


i have the same feelings.. hollidays beginning..you know ;)

[Green Mamba]

I'm pretty sure it was a Showbiz track. I think it was Hate This Or I'll Love You.

[CelticKnight]

Saw the video for Unintended on TV when 'twas in the charts.

[haze015]

Was Muscle Museum I think.

I think bought OOS when it came out, no idea why I did at the time, didn't know who they were or had I even had any knowledge of hearing them, I think I just liked the cover :LOL:
Then found Showbiz in a sale and instantly recognised Muscle Museum, still have no idea where I heard it in the first place though.

[trouble]

I'd made a new friend at school, and she went on and ON about this guy called Matt Bellamy. I was like 'Who the fuck IS he?'
She asked our tutor to put Origin of Symmetry on for us. (Only class with a stereo :D ) And he did. My mate skipped New Born, and we listened to Bliss.

I loved it, she bought me the album about a week later, and I have been a fan ever since. Sadly enough, my school diary was COVERED in pictures of Dom, and all that.

If it hadn't been for my friend, AND the fact our tutor room was the music room, then I may never have been a fan...

[Meep]

Muscle Museum, then PIB on the reading 02 coverage. they're still my favourite live videos :happy:

[supermassivegirl]

my school diary was COVERED in pictures of Dom
I can't believe this! :eek:

[dark_side]

First one I heard was Time Is Running Out video. Didn't really think much of it the first time I heard it.

How wrong I was...

[:James:]

I heard Uno on the radio 1 rock show years and years ago, I must have been about 12, that was the first song I heard

[indierockerdude]

i think this thread is testimony to how far muse have come..

i first heard a muse song when i was still buying shitty pop compilations...id recently got into Manic Street Preachers after being round a friends house and sitting in his brothers room, his walls were plastered in posters of JDB and the band...and he had written on his walls and chest of drawers in a Red Marker a few lyrics...and i thought wow this guy is really passionate about this band and their music..and by reading a few of the lyrics on his walls i realised that unlike the trashy pop id been listening to for so long, this band had its messages, its opinions and they were using its music to put them across..and so i bought a couple of Manic Street Preachers album..got into them and started to listen to a fair bit of indie...

another friend lent me a indie compilation - cant quite remember what it was and it might have been an NME or Q freebie but Muscle Museum was on it...and the first time i heard it i thought - wow this is something else!

My friends asked me if id like to come to the V festival with them - after they heard i liked that muse track, so on the basis that i enjoyed a single muse song i forked out for a day ticket to the sunday in Weston Park in V2001 just to see Muse...then OoS came out not long before it from what i remember, and so i bought that on the day it was released and loved it...

So yeah, Muscle Museum was my first Muse song, and i dont think ive ever looked back since..because who in their right mind listens to crappy Pop compilations?!

[FrozenToucan]

Newborn was the first I heard.. because I was too skint to buy a CD I then went to the library and borrowed the only Muse album there, Showbiz, and really loved it.

Once I actually had some money I invested in OOS and Showbiz, and the rest is history:)

[Copelandia]

Mine was plug in baby, which im listeing to right now in fact. ^_^

My auntie gave me a kerrang mixed CD for christmas when I was eleven and I heard plug in baby and the rest is history. :LOL:

[raininginspace]

Sunburn was my first...basically since it's the first track on Showbiz. Bought Showbiz in 2000 on a whim because Amazon.com recommended it as a "other listeners who bought this album also bought this album"....yes, yes the similar artist was probably Radiohead.....go figure... Loved Showbiz but kind of lost track of Muse when OOS wasn't released in the States.....fast forward to '03 and Hysteria getting a lot of airplay and I got back into Muse.....seeing them live pretty much catapulted them into one of my favs....

[trouble]

Mine was plug in baby, which im listeing to right now in fact. ^_^

My auntie gave me a kerrang mixed CD for christmas when I was eleven and I heard plug in baby and the rest is history. :LOL:

I had that CD! :LOL:

[lady dementia]

actually i heard TIRO first, but i didn't really get into it. then my friend sent me space dementia, but i didn't really like it also. but as i listened to it more, it started to grow on me more and more. so, yeah, space dementia is the first muse song i like. that's why i use my nick as Lady Dementia :p

[david_icke]

Sunburn on the radio.Chiltern 97.6!

[Romanticide]

Plug In Baby when it was released, I remember seeing the video when I was about 12 and thinking "wow is this cool" and completely forgot what it was called. 3 years later I hear New Born and was hooked, but when I saw the video for PIB I was like THE SONG! All is good.

[turkish-MUSEfan]

muscle museum, I had listened it with video clip

[rhinobeetle]

new born

used to think everything my sister listened to was crap, till a mate of mine wanted to borrow OoS, thought id have a listen for fun

been hooked ever since

[trouble]

I can't believe this! :eek:

:LOL: I hated Matt at the time! :eek: Put it down to being a silly 13 year old!

[Man_In_Showbiz]

sunburn off some compilation album my mate did a copy of for me.

sat in mates backgarden having a bbq and the song came on, i asked him who the band was cause i loved the sound of the song. Not long after i saw the video for newborn and that was it!

[Ed-Eleanore]

time is running out i think...

[MUSEicly_Talented]

the very first for me was plug in baby back when it was released, but i didnt know it was muse, and wasnt really listening, it was on the tv and my sister said it was really good to me and then it started, its all a blur to me now but just remember hearing the intro and going, WOW but i never asked who they were, later in 2002 i heard muscle museum, again i didn't know it was muse, and finnaly in 2003 my friend played me the piano solo from B and H and not the rest of the song, and then lent me his copy of absolution, i listened to it from start to finish and was like WOWOWOWOWOW, and i kept playing thoughts of a dying atheist, cause it was just cool, when i bought there albums i was all too delighted to find that they played plug in baby and muscle museum....
so lol...
plug in baby was the first

[destructiveaesthetic]

Sunburn...cos I randomly bought Showbiz many moons ago

[Moss]

I think i first heard Uno, but that was when i didn't really have a taste in music, and then New Bornkicked me into muse!

I saw that awesome video on TV!!!

[Metallix]

I saw the plug in baby video at around 2003 on some music channel and I then strarted buying their albums. I wuv Muse!:D

[Livvy]

i have the absolution poster on the back of my door - dont want to ruin mummy's laura ashley wallpaper!!

my other earls court one is in my studio :)

[No_Biz_Like_Showbiz]

First Muse song i heard was New Born or Plug In Baby, but i wasn't into that stuff at the time! I liked feeling good when it came out but i didn't realise it was them, and bought Absolution when it came out because I liked TIRO. I'm so slow :LOL:

[Livvy]

i have the absolution poster on the back of my door - dont want to ruin mummy's laura ashley wallpaper!!

my other earls court one is in my studio :)
I've got the one with all the covers on it above my bed. My Libertines posters are on my door.

[fairyliquid]

I'm actually the other way round - my mate bought the Origins of Symmetry album and was playing it to us during a game on his Xbox one night (so I spose my first song was "New Born". I thought it was a bit weird, I didn't really like it.

But I'm notorious for loving everything I say I hate after about 2 days... and the rest is history!!!!!!!

[Bloody Excited]

twas muscle museum. my brother turned it on....fun, cos hes never liked em so much. and now he doesnt like em at all.. and hes into some other type of music, so if ppl who know him'd find out its his "fault" they'd get surprised

[matt1il]

mine was plug in baby, well i may have heard some previous, but this was the first my mate played for me at the time of absoltuion and i was like WOW!:)

[Redscum]

TIRO, on "Kerrang!", shortly afterwards they played Hysteria too, so I looked em up, listened to some other songs and loved em from there :D

[Pancake]

im pretty sure it was Unintended or Muscle Museum years ago. I really can't remember which one. Right before I bought Origin of Symmetry when it came out, I realised they were by Muse! :D

[she_had_a_username]

Sunburn in 2000, heard it randomly on the radio although didn't catch who it was by, then saw the video on the tele. I thought they were cool at the time, I wasn't a massive fan but appreciated them I guess. I later found a showbiz cassette in a second hand shop for a couple of quid which I got as I had fuck all money at the time for a cd :LOL: That increased my interest.

I didn't become a big fan until Oos came out, when I heard New Born.

[Muse'R]

a year ago .. Unintended .. in my mum's computer:D

then .. TIRO-New Born-Sunburn ..:D

[FFGamer]

New Born, not sure where I heard it from though.

[ab_oxide]

I definitely remember it was Uno in 2000. It was so unique and sounded like nothing I had heard before that. :happy: Bought Showbiz soon after that. :D

[Knightofcydonia]

Fillip on a free cd from the now defunct SKY magazine. It was the November 2000 issue and instantly I could tell they made sounds I'd be into.

[Caliandra]

and consequently that got you hooked in the first place.Mines was New Born way back in 2001.I then heard Bliss a few days later on a music channel and thought yeah thats damn good too and oh look its the same band.Then the shock took over when i heard plug in baby which i must have missed when it first came out and was hooked for life!!awesome video and i havent loked back since.

Cave. 'twas an accidental download and I'm really glad it happened. Not only that but a good friend of mine had been talking of them, so my curiousity was peaked and I went looking for more..:D

[seen]

i liked linkin park when i was 12

I never liked linkin park ;)

first song I heard was plug in baby, too ... but for some strange reason I didn't really notice that. I liked it, but it didn't quite catch me at that time.
So it was another 5 years 'til a friend of mine gave me "time is running out". and that got me ;)

[valiantly]

"Hysteria." And I stared slackjawed at the television for the full four or five minutes, absolutely stunned, and having a bit of a difficult time comprehending how a band could write music THAT good, and play their instruments THAT well.

[Karita]

My first was Unintended because my Ex made me listen to it during a fight and I still love hima little bit for introducing me to Muse.

[Small Woodland Creature]

Trip to friends in England last year. I thought we had bought my daughters boyfriend's demo disc to listen to, but my daughter announced it was her boyfriends fave band Muse instead. So first song heard was Apocalypse Please very loud while standing in friends kitchen. ( Both of us in our late 40's) After only several seconds I said "Oh Bloody Hell!" My friend said "Good Grief!" I said "That is just totally erotic music" My friend said, breathlessly, "Yes!" And both of us leaned for support against kitchen worktop......... now cannot wait to see them for first time in Dublin!!!!!!!!!

[HelzBelz]

i can't really remember exactly
think it was plug in baby but i'm not to sure!

[StefErased]

Im not to sure. . . i went to see them in there absolution tour and i thought i knew a few songs, ones from absolution, but then i also knew muscle museum, new born and plug in baby but never knew it was from muse so fuck knows!

[the fOol]

Plug In Baby

i didn't actually like it that much at first, the video put me off. but when i wasn't watching the video i loved it.

[GlassNeedles]

plug in baby, for me too. :D

[the truth]

My first Muse song was sunburn, and I hven't looked back since :)

[ADAM]

mine was Muscle Museum on a compliation album around when Showbiz came out.

:D

[Knight_Of_Cydonia16]

I only started listening to them a couple of years ago (back to the days of Absolution)... I'm Canadian, so I was watching the local video channel, MuchMusic. And then the video for Stockholm Syndrome came on. Instantly hooked on them after that.

[Rosti LFC]

Hypermusic, on a Kerrang! compilation CD. I've been hooked ever since.

[San]

My sister came back home one day (in 1999 or 2000 I guess) saying her bf (of the time) gave her a cd from a great band. It was Showbiz. So I guess the first song I heard was Sunburn, as it's track # 1 of the album.

Then I just listen to the singles on the radio, but just liked them without being "a fan", especially that my sister saw them at solidays and had been appalled by their show.
It's when I heard Absolution that I listened more carefully to their 3 first albums and thought "OMG how can I have missed that ?!"
I looked for gig dates on the internet, found the board and voilà ! :LOL:

[Hypervera]

muscle museum!!!!!

[Who am I again?]

Ashamed to say adverts and tv programmes where they played Hysteria (mainly brainiac history abuse when they blew up the caravans). It was love from the first second cept i had no idea who or what it was until my friend got an ipod (last year?) and she was showing it off and it came on. My reaction was something like 'SEND ME THAT SONG' I bought all of their albums and within months i was an obsesee :)

surprisingly muse is the only live band ive seen that has blown my socks off even though I've seen other favourites. It's a sign! :D I found sigur ros that way too

[joelle]

I think that it was muscle museum.I saw the video on mtv and i found it very special,different from the others videos and of course i loved immediatly the band.I asked my brother to find things about this band and i discovered new born and bliss on tv.The next day i bought OOS;what a great album!Since this day,it means since 5years,i adore muse;i can't live without listening their music!
So muscle museum is very special for me as it was "the song" which made me fell like buying origin of symmetryhttp://img474.imageshack.us/img474/5530/tn2139198ly3.jpg (http://imageshack.us),and this song is really sublim and enchanting!i love the intro with the bass guitar and in live it's just amasing!(like new born)http://img474.imageshack.us/img474/5530/tn2139198ly3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[Riggy]

Sunburn I htink on a Brit Awards CD back in 2001 i think. Hooked.

[Esperanza]

Endlessly!! :rolleyes: I liked a lot and I bought "Showbizz"

[Evix]

The first Muse song that I heard [at least, knowing it was them] was New Born when the album first came out and a friend played it for me. I thank my friend on occasion.

[Lali_fantastico]

....Mines was Newborn.. I was flickin through the music channels and saw the vid and thought 'woah'. What a cool band. So I went out and bought the album. woo for me!

[SkE]

first ever Muse song I heard was Apocolypse please, then Bliss ... what a wicked song!!! None of my friends had ever heard of Muse so I was starting to think are they actually a good band or not? Then I heard sunburn and thought ... fuck it! I don't need anyone else to tell me that Muse are a good band!!!

[Mariam]

I think it was Sunburn, last year. Someone sent it to me ^^.

[The Supermassive One]

The first one i heard was Absolution. Bought the CD, and it was like... :pope: :pope: :pope: !!!
Bought the other ones and i still had something like... WOW!!! And 19december i'm gonna see them in 'Het Sportpaleis' in Antwerp in Belgium! That's gonna be the first time i see them in real:D :D :D !

[Glorius]

Damn that's hard.

I think it was Sunburn. That piano line....poetry.

[Electric Rocker]

Mine was New Born

[WirelessVoyager]

Bliss on Origins of Symetry, great song, and just by buying the album it lead me to greater songs, I'm now a huge Muse fan!:D

[IntoTheWhite]

It was actually Unintended, but I don't want that to count, so I'll go with the second song I heard that made me fall in love with them, which was Micro Cuts.

[pubicmage]

It was either New Born or Bliss. I'm not sure which one..

[crazy_buddhist]

Instant Messenger. A friend of mine who was obsessed with Muse at the time played it to me in 2002, but I admit I didn't get round to buying the first two albums until I heard Absolution and became just as obsessed :)

[Jacky Boy]

Mine was Muscle Museum, saw the video on TV when I was about 9...

[Cecily]

hysteria I guess
or Time is running out

[*Staunchino*]

First one i ever heard was Muscle museum i think.

Plug in baby got me hooked

[omermuse]

Muscle Museum ......

[muse-ical]

First Muse song...? Erm, I think I heard Unintended, but didn't know who had done the song. But then it was New Born. Someone brought it in to pay during an English classm and managed to piss the teacher off. She wasn't much of a fan -- although she liked the start and told the guy to turn it up before the riff kicked in.

That was my story! *ahem* I know, VERY unexciting...

[jconeg]

Sunburn, on the iMac commercial... hooked me to Muse instantly.

[the_real_jimmy_kane]

Unintended :happy:

[neteagle]

unintended in 1999 in french tv

[Kya]

Muscle Museum. It was on a compilation I had bought and loved it.

[musegirl27]

Plug In Baby!

xxx

[paraluman]

Either TIRO, Sunburn or Map of Your Head, since I downloaded all of them simultaneously.

[Cogo]

Unintended

[tina_s]

bliss on MTV in 2001 I think.i'm a huge fan since then.

[james90]

New Born.

My friend sent me the New Born live in Werchter 2001 video two years ago, and I became hooked right away...I bought all of the albums the next day :D

[Muse_Maniac]

The first ever Muse song I heard, was 'Time is Running out', and fell in love with Muse at that very moment.

[WuzArt]

Unintended for me. Heard it on the radio whilst waiting to get out of a car park and loved it. Parked the car back up, went to the nearest music shop and bought Showbiz there and then.

[the_chemist]

new born!!! :D

[Raiko]

The first Muse song I ever heard was Sober (American Edit) on Gran Turismo 3. Didn't sound as good without the high pitched screaming but I didn't know that at the time. I just wanted to hear more material.

[Winternova]

Can't remember the first song, but my first Muse experience was live with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Foo Fighters in Minneapolis. Blew my mind completely. Matt had the stage presence of a titan. It wasn't until RHCP had taken the stage, and that random blonde had decided to get friendly with me that I snapped back to reality. The rest is history.

[Shadius]

Plug In Baby or New Born videos, I can't remember which I saw first. I think maybe Plug In baby first.

[Necramonium]

Plug in Baby was my first one,the videoclip rocked :)

[Bchbiker16]

the first time i heard muse and actually knew who they were was when i was buying studio monitors for my computer at guitar center. the salesman put on time is running out in the sample studio on all of the speakers and it blew me away!!!!

[New born starlight]

new born!!! :D

New born was also the first song I heard! I was really amazed. It starts like a little musical box...quiet...and then kind of "swirls" towards a great bombastic, emotional end! I just love it! ;) http://musezone.w.interia.pl/galeria/rocksound_all.jpg

[Landaluce]

New Born in... oh, late 2004, roughly. I met this guy and gave him my Stellastarr* CD, and he gave me Origin of Symmetry.

[stephW]

The first song that I heard from them was Time is Running Out. This song is amazing...and is my ringtone for my cellphone.

[ducksquackmuse]

Muscle Museum...then Tiro...then new born

[Auron]

Back when i was a dj
I bought Paul Okenfold's remix of Newborn on vinyl with two Timo Mass' Remixes of Sunburn on the b side, a very long time ago,

Then, much later when Absolution came out, I bough it, and over the following months I bough Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry and Hullabaloo.

[Shotdown]

First i heard was either Muscle Museum or Uno back in the olde days. Think it was Muscle Museum more so :)

[djdanp]

remember watchin bliss on kerrang with matt fallin down the tube and been hooked ever since

[woteva...muserok]

butterflies and hurricanes or was it hysteria?

[issaidiot]

The first Muse song I heard was Unintended. Then I heard New Born and Bliss and I got hooked :D

[Raiko]

First song I heard was Sober on Gran Turismo 3. Didn't take much notice...
Second song I heard was Bliss on MTV2 and I thought "This is quite pants...".

One week later I couldn't get enough of 'em... :rolleyes:

[flibble_dude]

the first Muse song I ever heard was Bliss because my friend made me and ive been hooked ever since

[scotgal]

first for me was sing for absolution when i got a lift in a friends car - then hysteria so bought absolution. then saw them in dundee quite soon after that and went straight to town and bought oos, showbiz and hullabaloo. haven't looked back since. just fallen in love with the whole muse thing. love the music soooo much.

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Mine was sing for absolution as well. My mate played it to me, and at first i thought it was alright, but then i listened to absolution all the way through, and... yeah. I was in love :LOL:

[mynameisdebbie]

saw the TIRO vid on tv, and downloaded the song off the net. got hooked ever since. :)

[whoyouwere]

Sunburn on TFI Friday (RIP), but I didn't take much notice of who it was at the time :$ .. so probably Plug In Baby

[Britrock]

Sunburn.

Being the first track on Showbiz and all that jazz...

[Dramatic Hammer]

Unintended, back in '99 :D .

[MadameDajy]

Hysteria! I caught the video on Fuse and thought it was fantastic. Shortly after that, I got hooked on TIRO as well. :D

[Ems30]

Think mine was Citizen Erased.. my mate sent me it over msn and I loved it, but I think I'd already heard Hysteria and TIRO beforehand. Loved them songs, bought Absolution and then the rest. :happy:

[Alec Trevelyan]

It was Stockholm Syndrome on Yahoo LaunchCast Radio... and I marked it as "Never Play Again" which I soon would realize was a big mistake. I just had to give these "Swedish guys" a chance.

[Sand]

butterflies and hurricanes sing by a french singer during his concert. Then it was Unintended.

[Georgy Drachenkoeter]

Hysteria.
But I think it must have been 'The Gallery', because when I heard it on Hullabaloo I thought 'I know this Song' but I just can't remember from where.... :confused: I mean 'The Gallery'? Where do you hear 'The Gallery'? I think I'll never know. :(

[Drumlicious]

Well first one i heard was New Born wayyyyy back in the day, was like oooo awesome song, but i dunno i just kinna forgot about it, then few years later heard Time is Running Out, was like ooo havn heard of these guys in AGES, an just downloaded it an a few others an just got addicted from there :p.

[Mari]

Time is Running Out, but now I don't like that song too much. It's a good song but not my tastes, when it comes to Muse... :erm: Do I make any sense?

The problem is, being in Canada, you don't hear Muse very often so there's little chance of hearing them a first time let alone any time :LOL:

[§hannon.]

It feels like forever ago... hah.

But, my first Muse song was 'Muscle Museum'. :)

[Knightofcydonia]

Fillip. November 2000

[binarysonnets]

The first one I remember hearing and thinking "zomg that is the total sex" is butterflies and hurricanes, but I never bought any albums.

I'd still say New Born was the song that got me into them.

[CelticKnight]

First Muse tune I heard was Muscle Museum when it was out as a single. Which would make it November-ish of '99.

[muse_wallaby]

First Muse song... Jebus, I don't think I can remember... I think it was Sunburn... On a Brit Awards album...:$ Sorry, I used to be narrowminded. I think I ignored it at first, only wanting to listen to Britney Spears of somthing :$ Now that is embarrassing... I think it was Brit Awards 2000 or 1999. the first Muse song I enjoyed would have been TIRO, I think. My bro's a bassist (a brill one!) and he was learning the tabs for TIRO. I was into Linkin Park at that stage:LOL: How sad. And I heard it and I thought "This is miles better than Linkin Crap. And so I became a fan.:yesey: THANK YOU SO MUCH ADAM!

[shiro]

I think it may have been Newborn but it seems so long ago now... Then I heard Feeling Good and just flipped and wanted to hear more and more:happy:

[HelzBelz]

First Muse song... Jebus, I don't think I can remember... I think it was Sunburn... On a Brit Awards album...:$ Sorry, I used to be narrowminded.

at least the key word there is USED to be norrowminded :happy: :p

u know see the light hehe

[Electric Rocker]

New Born - 2002/2003 sometime

[Gem]

Muscle Museum (The UK time round) <3 <3 <3

[Reevo]

Bliss in 2002

I might have heard more muse songs before that, but i am certain Bliss was the song that made me a muse fan

[Knightofcydonia]

I had heard Unintended and MM, but didn't know it was Muse. I hated Unintended as soon as I knew it was them LMAO, but I'm about to put it on my iPod, just to hear it for old times sake.

[Cerpin]

Sober. Guess where.

[PhantoM]

Time Is Running Out I think, or possibly Sunburn. I didn't hear them until 3 years ago or so.

[Cloud Cuckoo]

Th real first one I don't remember, that was back in 99/00. All I know is that I hated it. Last year I listened to Muscle Museum and then I was hooked.

[vilandra21]

Either Time is Running Out or Hysteria, I cant remember which.

[Wendigo]

newborn. a good friend I no longer talk to put it on a cd for me. Twas a great cd, I ended up loving all the artists.

[Mozza]

Muscle Museum, but at the time I just thought it was fairground music with some guy with an annoying voice singing over the top of it. New Born was the one that changed my mind.

[greywolf.]

Dead star on Hullabaloo. My brother was showing me the solo.

I hated it.

[11esum]

Uno in 2001 :rolleyes:

Then I heard Bliss in January 2002

[The_Spike]

Starlight:ohmy: It was on the radio, must have been about July and Ive been hooked ever since:D

[EllieBellamy]

Hmmm Stockholm Syndrome I think, havn't stopped listening to Muse since :D x

[Madsickle]

Muscle Museum, I think.

[Subiliminal]

New Born. That - 2001 is when I became a muse-addict!

[Bixer]

I think the first Muse song I heard was Hysteria. It might've been time is running out but I'm not really sure.

but yeah it was definately absolution which got me really into them, then after that started listening to their older stuff.

been hooked since!

[Mozza]

From reading this it seems like New Born will be Muse's signature song in years to come.

Its immense

[teh_pwnerer]

Sober on gran turismo 3 (playstation 2 game)

[fuschiarose]

and consequently that got you hooked in the first place.Mines was New Born way back in 2001.I then heard Bliss a few days later on a music channel and thought yeah thats damn good too and oh look its the same band.Then the shock took over when i heard plug in baby which i must have missed when it first came out and was hooked for life!!awesome video and i havent loked back since.

Almost exactly the same as me!

[coote90]

First muse song ever was hysteria, was a bit of chav back then and didnt think much of it. Musical taste began to change then earlier this year bought bhar and realised that matt is God...
Attended my first muse gig 22nd at wembley and im now very excited about tryina get tickets for another gig!!

| | MUSE | |

[Mingle]

"Plug In Baby" for me. :happy:

[-J-]

Many years ago my brother listened to Stockholm Syndrome but this summer I heard Plug In Baby and I fell in love with it right away! I bought all the albums and then realized that Stockholm Syndrome is the same song that my brother used to listen. ^^

[Hot Burrito]

Muscle Museum on the Jo Whiley show (I think) back in '99.

[The_Sad_Panda]

Mine was Sober :D

[shade8901]

The first that I heard was Unintended six years ago...and I fell in love with Muse!!!

[.:This City of Delusion:.]

hmmm...
'Time is Running Out' Still my favourite song :happy:

[rich2606]

i'd heard newborn and plug in baby on my mates stereo before but never really thought much of it other than bloody hell that voice is annoying, but the first song i listened to properly / got me into them was 'in your world' on the kerrang 'best of 2002' cd, i then learnt to gradually bear, then appreciate matt's (relatively) unique voice, then rock out to them.

[jambo10]

Mines was Feeling Good
and still love it to this day.

[Masteradam]

i first spotted bliss back in 2001 or 2002 i think on kerrang. its been my favourite song ever since!

[wanyin]

butterflies and hurricanes from some muse concert that was shown at insanely weird hours in the morning on mtv.
if i didnt switch on the television i would have probably continued being oblivious to muse cause it's really rare to hear muse on radio in singapore.

[icerose06]

HYSTERIA!!! great song to introduce muse. in fact, it was the US version of the video. not even on the tv. internet. i was looking for some new bands and i let videos just stream. then, muse popped up with a badass bass line and cool visuals :) and i never looked back

[switchbl@d3]

I cant remember what the first muse song i heard was, all i know it was in 1999-2000 and i thought it was a total pile of radioheady wank. But i was quite ignorant back then, and i didnt pay any attention to them, untill my mate came around one day and told me a Muse concert was on tv that night ..... to which i answered "naah dude, ill give it a miss, i dont really like em" I ended up watching anyhow, it was before i got sky so i only had four and a half channels to watch (channel 5 had shit reception hence half a channel) and there was bugger all on them, i soon changed my mind, specially when i saw Matt do that spinning tazmanian devil thingy while playing PIB, i got hooked!

[QuackyTheMagicalDuck]

The first Muse song I ever heard was Sunburn..I heard it on the radio and thought "thats an alright song." The next thing I remember is Bliss.. and that was that :)

[matoran]

Stockholm Syndrome when it debut at #1 on Triple Js Net 50. The announcer said they were Swedish. Wrong. Still I had never heard of Muse until then but only decided to get into Muse when I heard Starlight and Map Of The Problematique.

[Rodwen]

Plug in Baby in 2005

[Mikky]

First Muse song I ever heard was Sunburn, way back in 2000-ish when it was used in a Mac advert on TV with the caption "What does a CD look like when it burns?", that was rather cool. :D I didn't know what the song/band was at the time but I wanted to find out what it was.

Shortly after that I bought the Reloaded 1 and Reloaded 2 albums (indie compilation albums) and one had Muscle Museum on it, which I heard and fell in love with, while the other had Sunburn which I recognised as the song from the Mac ad. So naturally I bought Showbiz and was in awe, not long before Origin was released and I had much more Muse to dribble over. That is how I discovered the band that quickly became the love of my life and has been inspiring me ever since. ^_^

[Vesna]

A little part of Time Is Running out...But I didn't even guess that it was Muse's song.

[Babette]

That has to be Newborn in 2001 when i saw/heard it on tv... it's been love ever since

[blackumbrella]

Unintended, back then.. had no idea it was Muse tho. I was surprised when a friend of mine during her convert-me-into-music-project played it to me and said "you've probably heard it on the radio.." she succeeded:LOL:

[Max Moon]

Uno and Muscle Museum - Fall 99

[Sepiaan]

I listened to Sunburn :eek: and what a shock it was !!! :$
I still enjoy this this song !!! :)

[pimbo]

Bliss.

From then on i'm loving almost every song of them.

[MarkoLE]

I'm the one of the newer fans...Map of The Problematique hooked me on Muse...And I'm grateful on that..:)

[gemmat84]

Deadstar was the first one I heard, got me absolutely hooked. I've never gone out and bought an album by a band I didn't know purely on the basis of hearing one song but glad I did with Muse, have been following the boys ever since.

[729]

Sunburn in '99. I loved that single (but then I also loved Blue-daba-dee at the time :rolleyes:). Hysteria was the tune that really got me into them, at the time I was only just getting a proper interest in music really.

[usagi]

Plug in baby in 2001(just luv that song )my boyfriend made me discover muse and since then i've become complety addicted to them :p

[saphene]

Unintended in 1999. I hunted round Bath for a copy of "the album by this really good band whose name I can't quite remember" (aka: Showbiz). When I listened to it for the first time I also recognised Sunburn (was sooooo pleased when they played that at Birmingham the other week). I've <3ed them ever since.

[MarteeWarree]

Hyper Music on MTV2... and everytime it came on... I TURNED IT OFF, lol... what a fool I was, is one of my favourite songs now.

[~SapphireStar~]

I heard Muse on the Little Nicky OST with Cave back in 2000. Then I notcied them on Kerrang with New Born and Plug In Baby. My first boyfriend was a huge Muse fan and he helped fuel my addiction with them!

[youknowwhoiam]

plug in baby(2001). When i was ten, dad made me discover and i thought that it was amazing!

[mooseymuse]

in 2005 they showed some videos from the past years on mtv. they showed hysteria. immediatly I was bumed.

[evets]

I first encountered the incredible trio when they supported Skunk Anansie at the Barrowlands in Glasgow and the rest is history.
Going to gig on the 16th and staying at hotel across road from Wembley.
Any other muse-o's in similar circumstances?:D

[madzip]

First heard them around the end of 99, maybe even 2000 at my brothers house. HE was playing showbiz and although I liked Muse then I didnt really get into them until Absolution in 2003. OOS completely passes me by (I blame having kids at that time for my lack of musical intellect..... I'm OK now tho.

Going to Wembers on the 16th and 17th and staying over the road too!!

[seregon]

9th August 2003. I only remember the date because it was a few days before my birthday and I was in Cornwall on holiday. I heard them on Radio 1 Jo Whiley played TIRO and I just fell in love with it. Within a month or so I owned the first three albums and was absoloutely obsessed.. just continued from there really...

Also going to "Wembers" both dates but staying in a Hostel in Hendon with 9 other women, should be fun :LOL:

And a few days later Parc des Princes, woop, that was me skint for a month :D

[evets]

Lucky you getting both gigs! mind you seen em at Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Newcastle last year so I wont moan!
Wembley will rock like nothing on earth!! just joined today, well thats a lie I joined ages ago and I cant remember any of the login details! so I have joined with another e-mail addy and a fully functioning memory...I hope! ok am off to see if I can personalise this thing. :D

[pindakaas]

:D well I woke up one morning, looked next to me and found matt AND dom AAAND chris lying beside me so I was asking myself how much I had to drink and...

shud I tell it was a muse poster I had on the ceiling above my bed that fell down over night.... naaaaah :p

[seregon]

:D well I woke up one morning, looked next to me and found matt AND dom AAAND chris lying beside me so I was asking myself how much I had to drink and...


I was sooooooo tempted to write something like that but I was sure there was someone who'd do that for me :LOL:

[i'll burn your horizons]

i was... i think 11/12 at my first muse concert. i got into good music at a young age. no messing around there.

[Ellie.B]

Nov 23rd at around 7:30pm :happy: Actually i tell a lie, i heard SMBH when BH&R was being advertised on telly but just remembered muse had the crazy short man in with the high voice so thought it would be best to stay away :yesey:

[Judderman]

first encounter was when i first experience bliss, when i was a mini mosher. and i fell in love with it and the video. it was hot. and theeeeeeeeeeeeeeen it took me AGES to go see them and it was only at leeds festival 06 that i first did get to see them.

[Hobo]

I'm sure there's a fair few threads on this as well. :p

And to answer the question, just over 7 years ago. :stunned:

[Ellie.B]

I'm sure there's a fair few threads on this as well. :p
