about

Muse are a three-piece rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, England, formed in 1994. The band consists of Matt Bellamy on vocals, guitar, and piano, Dom Howard on drums, and Chris Wolstenholme on bass. Since 1999, they've released 9 studio albums and 3 live albums, one of which was also a compilation of early b-sides. Muse are often referred to as "the greatest live act in the world".

I've been a fan since 2007 and I've had a crush on Matt since 2010.

I met Muse after their Houston show in 2010 (sister redacted for privacy). I won a radio statio contest to play Guitar Hero 5 with them. I played with Dom and Chris while Matt paced around and provided commentary on my gameplay.

This is the only photo I've ever taken during a Muse concert. This was at Austin City Limits 2010, during Plug In Baby, taken with a Sony Ericsson W300i.
