Does anybody know anyone whos met any members of Muse?

[JackAndrews]

discuss!

[Humphrey Goldenbollocks]

my mate has met them.

also my mate who's met them also knows me and i have met them :)

[MrPowell]

My mate, Paula, won a competition on an American radio station to meet them with a mate. Sounded pretty awesome. Chris wasn't there though.

[ultramarine]

I've met them all... except Matt :(

[Arvin]

Guys, what the f*ck do you do to meet them?
I've thought about it quite much, and it's not like I've found anything useful to get to meet them, but then, I would feel weird meeting them as a fan (they've probably met thousands of fans, they wouldn't even remember me I think).

[Liron]

a. Wrong board ;) Should be moved to Other Muse Topics I suppose or Gigs and Tours...



b. Met them a few thousand times lol.. kidding.. but too much anyway.

[RustySlide]

My friends cousin goes to school with Chris' son... do i win?

[Nimpo46]

I spoke to the cousin of Chris's son on myspace once.... i lost touch with her though... if your on here add me again! :LOL:


oh and i've talked to their old guitar tech... that's the closest :(


(Despite having been no more than 5 feet from matt)

[*OoS*]

I met Matt!!! :D

I'm sure most of you know the story from the CPH gig... I ranted about it often enough :LOL:

:D Best night of my life. Definitely.

[Helen T]

I've met them a few times now. Mostly outside venues after gigs (Belfast, Aberdeen, Luxemburg and Oslo). I also met Matt at an airport. We had been on the same flight!

There have been other occassions where I could have met them but it hasnt been an appropriate time. Either they were in a rush so I stood back to let others meet them who havent met them before (Monaco and Copenhagen), They have just stepped off of a 10 hour flight (San Francisco, I had been on the same flight but didnt know) or I didnt want to look like a stalker so I ran away (The reception of a hotel in London last year)

They all seem lovely by the way, even though I'm really shy and have never said anything other than 'Hi, How are you?/Can you sign this please?/Can I have a photo please? Thanks. Bye' to them! :LOL:

[solorbell]

I have met all three. Nice blokes. It is almost impossible to meet them at large gigs as security starts kicking you out before the last notes fade. I met them after a smaller gig, had to wait patiently for 3 hours, but their security had promised to bring the guys out, so we waited. If you are in a group of screaming girls, you may as well leave, that seems to turn them off. We waited patiently by the bus.

[Tr00jg]

Sooo... how would you go about meeting them? It must be one of the following I guess:

1) Win some competition (ie radio)

2) After gigs

3) Know people in the right places

4) Randomly

5) Somehow motivate Muse to want to meet me?

kidnap their pet? :)

That could work. cue *evil laugh*.

[~screenager~]

Matt didn't speak though! :LOL: Did you hang around to meet Dom? Most of my crowd had left by then... I was the one who borderline-harangued Chris; I always seem cross when I'm really cold. :p

[ADAM]

Ive met them all - inc. kirkeh :D

I usually just meet them after gigs.. I suppose I can say 3 as well cos I was given backstage passes ones and also a member of a support band took me to the afterparty another time lol

And 4 happened several times actually too, it tends to happen in the US.

[seregon]

Loads of people have met them. Even partied with them

[Helen T]

No, I left before Dom came out. I was the one who lent out my pen for them to sign with. The funny thing was, Matt used my pen to sign things but didnt get round to signing for me :LOL:

[Nimpo46]

How do people find out their flight info so they meet them at the airport?

[Helen T]

How do people find out their flight info so they meet them at the airport?

I think people just make a guess and sometimes it works out.

I think its totally wrong to hang round an airport to meet them. I would imagine the last thing they would want to do while travelling is be nice to people. Or am I the only one who gets crabby and stressed travelling? :LOL:

they don't seem to mind too much

[emzlilachouse]

My ICT teachers knows Matt as Matts brother is my teachers best mate. He has met the band and tom kirk!
We talk about muse every lesson lmao all i do in his lessons is muse board :$:rolleyes:

[Helen T]

Doesnt make it right though. I think that if you have to go to some effort to find out when and where they will be, you really shouldnt be there. Airports and hotels come into that catigory.

But maybe thats just me.

hmmm maybe

if i were muse, i'd appreciate the fact that they went to a lot of trouble to me us. if they look/act totally mental then i'd perhaps get security over quick! lol but i think if they seem like just retgular fans then a quick photo/autograph isn't too bad... it's a common thing too, meeting at an airport

hotels however, that's going a bit personal. that's really pushing into their private lives, imo that's out of order. but airports they're just passing through anyway.

[eqbrim]

i meet them twice... once at the end of there show at the eletric factory in philli,pa. Then again at agora theater in celveland all last year... had to wait till like 4 in the morning to see them too but hey it was worth it...

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a106/mikebilliejoetre13/mattandme.jpg
this one is after the show in philli

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a106/mikebilliejoetre13/chrisandme.jpg
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a106/mikebilliejoetre13/domandme.jpg

these are the ones after the show in agora...i cant find the other ones with matt and chris and dom from philli....

[kristinapettersson]

you lucky bastards:(

Well, If I would see someone from the band I would probably say: HOLY SHIT! ... and just stare... Maybe faint..

I wouldnt. I'd think how the hell do they know what time we would be here? they must have tracked us down. Must be more careful next time. Or at the very least go away, I've just got off a plane I just want to get where I'm going in peace. I'd sign the autograph/pose for the photo and be nice but It would still irritate me. I'd hate it if someone asked me for a photo just after I'd got off a 10 hour flight or something, which is why I didnt approach Matt or Chris in San Francisco.

I think sometimes people are so wrapped up in getting what they want they dont stop to think how it could be from their point of view. Or maybe I just think too much!

[Nimpo46]

that's a good point... but who cares how muse feel, what have they ever done for us?:stunned:

[SofiaR]

I wouldnt. I'd think how the hell do they know what time we would be here? They travel with a lot of people, many times the crew and other people they work with (locally, just for that certain gig) will volunteer the information without much fuss. And in certain gigs there's not many options.

Personally, I wouldn't do it. I don't value that kind of thing enough to go on purpose to an airport and wait for them, I have more to do :LOL: As for those who do it and how the band feels about it - I think more than the attitude of waiting for them, it's how they are approached that matters.

[Nimpo46]

"oi! oi! sign this for me! cheers, laterz!"

"Excuse me Mr. Bellamy, may I have your autograph please?"

[Tr00jg]

Man, I would love to meet them. Not really as a "OMG" fan!!!11!!, but me as person who really really enjoys their music and would like to just tell them, "thanks for making awesome music."

[Liron]

For those wondering about airport info. It's not that hard to get it, the guys themselves tend to tell you about the flights lol

At Greece when I told Matt we're also going to Serbia to see them he actually got really excited for a second saying 'ooooh we might be on the same flight! :D'
But then I had to correct him and tell him they're doing Romania before lol

Trying to sneak into first class thats for sure

[Liron]

Hey, he seemed more excited about it then I would have been :LOL: I would just be embarrassed probably.. not that you'd really get to see them - sitting in first class and all.

I hate flights, you always come out looking 10 times worse than you did when you went on.

You know you're too obsessed with a band, when you know their tour better than the band themselves. :LOL:

[Helen T]

:LOL:

I was. Twice. The first time I didnt know until we got to San Francisco and I saw them waiting for their cases. The second time, I saw them get on the plane!

[Knight]

I met them in SF.
Nicest band ever!

[Liron]

Agreed...!! I seriously need a life fast (...I need to shag that dude from work!! :()

But anyway yeah, for the record we had to choose which shows to fly to so I knew that first bit of the Eastern Europe tour TOO well.

[VladieShark]

A friend of a friend of mine met them once, while working at Best Buy. He sold them a Robo-Raptor...

[Goya]

I met Kirk in Perth, missed out on meeting Chris.

By the time my good friends who were at the gig DID meet them I had arrived from the three hour drive home. *eye twitches* Oh well, Kirkeh ftw.

And in Melbourne, my friend and I saw them go into Rod Laver. We were the only one's there, and we didn't say anything, we were a bit dumbstruck. But hey, they acknowledged our being there. :LOL: And then those chicks walked past after they'd gone in ages ago saying, "Are you waiting for them?" To which I butted in, "No."

[trouble]

I've met Tom, and Tom's Mum :LOL:

[Black Absolution]

A friend of a friend of mine met them once, while working at Best Buy. He sold them a Robo-Raptor...

had to be Matt then. :LOL:
if i ever met Muse, it would be bad.. especially Matt. i am too shy for my own good to find out what to say. :LOL:

[Greta Garbo Superga]

what I'd really love is to meet them and have a long talk with them, so I could ask how they get the ideas for the music, the lyrics and so on....just like having a chat with friends and having fun...but this is really improbable :(

[Muse24/7]

Ran into Matt in Lugano (Switzerland) on the streets a few years ago. He lives in Como, so that is quite close and he went to the Casino in Lugano. It was just before they went to the famous Chateux in France, he told me, they were going there next week to work on the new album.

Then I met Matt & Dom backstage at a festival in 2006. I talked to each of them for around two minutes, took pics and so on. They were extremely nice :)

I saw them on another occassion, but felt like not bothering them.

:eek: Envy. I've never met Muse, I've only seen them live once (much to my despair), but when I did it was the IOW fest and the woman next to me was saying how many times she met them, it was loads! I think she even spent a whole Razorlight gig with Dom. The envy was strong.

[Mad_Clown]

meeting muse wouldn't be a big deal...I would probably talk to matt and chris about guitars....Cos thats all i really know about them, that matt plays guitar and chris plays bass...And all 3 of them make music..YEAH, i would talk about music..:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

[ElleEctricity]

I have their autographs thanks to my dad but I've never got to meet them :(
I'd love to meet them in person, but I'm always such a douche when I meet bands :erm:
To be able to talk to them properly, about the music and conspiracies and such nonsense would be amazing, but yeah, I don't think that's very likely to happen :unsure:

[Carrotie]

gah, I so want to meet them! I nearly did, once. I went to a gig, and I was planning on hanging around until they came out, but I was with friends, and they wanted to leave. Other people I know did hang around, and got to meet them. I was really pissed off :indiff:

[CountDracula]

I've met matt , dom , chris and tom kirk on the 20th april 2002 ;) long time ago...

[Finlay]

Guys, what the f*ck do you do to meet them?

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard...ever.

[kr4zy4zn]

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard...ever.

I agree :eek:

[abbiemuse]

i sadly havent met muse but is dieing too can anyone get me too although i live right near there home town teingmouth and have been to the place where they first met and where they first playedxxx

[Spy Fox]

Hooray for looking at thread dates!

[Gretterati]

5) Somehow motivate Muse to want to meet me?

This is actually how you do it, haha! Though your best bet is prolly to somehow form a relation with some crew member?

[shadowkay]

Hooray for looking at thread dates!
Its better than starting a new thread

[lily93]

so I could ask how they get the ideas for the music(

Radiohead :awesome:

First learn about to spell teignmouth correctly and then send me £1,000 and I'll arrange a meeting for you...

Any way, I have met Mr. Wolstenholme. I was with my God children and friend at the time and pretty much keeled over as soon as I saw those spray painted skinny jeans. My friend, who loves Muse but wouldn't recognise them, was totally baffled. I ended up chatting to him and got a photo with him which is here.http://twitpic.com/e8vcw

Being from Devon myself I have a fair few friends that have met the band or saw them back before the days of record labels and all that jazz. My colleague actually used to go skinny dipping with Matt and Chris back in the day and her cousin is good mates with the band and often helps out on tour.
