Info
Well, my real name is Haritz, i'm from a city called Pamplona/Iruña, in Navarre, northern Spain. Fun fact, the photography used for the cover art of Black Holes and Revelations was made in my province (in the "Bardenas Reales"), that's the only Muse related thing happened here (apart from the concerts done in the Basque Country). I preffer to identify myself as Basque (but to avoid political controversies... Spanish) meh, nevermind.

When I edit or create some page, I surely make some mistakes. English isn't my mother tongue, so if there are some, be comprehensive, I'm trying my best. But you all are free to correct them, even in this page x)
My Muse history
The first time I listened to Muse was on september/october of 2006. The song Supermassive Black Hole, appearing in FIFA07 videogame. Months later I listened to the second Muse song, and it was surprisingly Easily. Due to a coincidence, I was searching a Red Hot Chili Peppers song with same name, and et voilà.
Years later, in 2009 my father recomended me the Absolution album. I fell in love with the first listening, specially with Apocalypse Please, Sing for Absolution, Stockholm Syndrome and Butterflies & Hurricanes. He knew I liked it a lot, so I had a special christmas present, the Muse new album that year, The Resistance
I've been listening non-stop both The Resistance and Absolution through 2010, and in 2011 I decided to listen more songs and albums from Muse. That year made me becoming a great Muse fan. I also fell in love with whole Origin of Symmetry and some Showbiz songs (speacially Sunburn, Muscle Museum, Showbiz and Unintended). And more lately Black Holes and Revelations and the ton of b-sides. Ironically the last album I discover from them is the album where's the first song I listen to (lol).
In 2012 The 2nd Law went out, making the decission of 'I need to see this band live'. And that dream comes true in 2013. I was so lucky, I win the tickets in a lottery only a week before the show. And after that I started hardly in the fanbase (more likely in later 2013 and 2014), and until now. With Drones out I've seen them 4 TIMES in one year! (seen 4, hear 1 xD).
Finally, I've seen them twice in the Simulation Theory era, in Bilbao 2018 and Madrid 2019.

- The 2nd gig from Madrid I was outside the arena, only listening to it.
- My favourite concert was (without any doubt) the Bilbao 2015 one. But the 2013 one was probably more emotive (due being my first Muse concert)
- The gigs that I was about to go but I don't go in the end are those that appear crossed out.

| 4 | Stockholm Syndrome | Pinkpop Festival | 2004 | Another of my favourite Muse videos ever, crazy outro. |

BLACK HOLES & REVELATIONS
| # | Song | Performance | Year | Info |

| 2 | Starlight | Shepherds Bush | 2006 | One of the first performances, with the guitar making the piano notes. |
| 3 | Supermassive Black Hole | Shepherds Bush | 2006 | Same concert, awesome screaming SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOOOOLE. |
| 4 | Map of the Problematique | Glastonbury Festival | 2010 | This is one of the first Muse live videos I watched so long ago, it has a special touch for me. |
| 5 | Soldier's Poem | Wembley Stadium | 2007 | Why complicate things, HAARP was a great live DVD. |
| 6 | Invincible | Teatro Gran Rex | 2008 | First time it was played a half step lower, better touch. |

| 9 | City of Delusion | Greek Theater | 2006 | He nailed that 4A, still doubting between this or the Mexico 2008 one (last to date). |
| 10 | Hoodoo | Tokyo Forum | 2007 | Quiet and calm performance of a very underrated and emotive song. |

THE RESISTANCE

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Uprising | Live Lounge | 2012 | Great bass sound and outro riff, and that falsetto ending! |
| 2 | Resistance | Oxegen Festival | 2010 | Another of the first Muse live videos I've seen to many years ago. Loved that intro. |

| 4 | United States of Eurasia | Teignmouth | 2009 | First performance, at hometown. Extended intro and emotive vocals. |
| 5 | Guiding Light | Rome Olympic Stadium | 2013 | Never been a fan of this one, to be honest. So I don't care to much. |
| 6 | Unnatural Selection | Nashville | 2013 | On the other hand, to many good performances of this amazing song. But this Agitated + Freedom outro won. |
| 7 | MK Ultra | Rock am Ring | 2010 | Another song that needs a comeback. What an amazing performance with School outro. |
| 8 | I Belong To You | Stade de France | 2010 | This was hard to choose... just kidding. Only played 5 times. |
| 9 | Exogenesis Part I | Moscow | 2011 | Personally love this song, and vocals were on point. |
| 10 | Exogenesis Part II | Studio | 2009 | Never played live, but here you got Matt playing the piano section. |
| 11 | Exogenesis Part III | Saitama Arena | 2013 | This was even harder to choose than IBTY. Nah, it needs more performances! |
THE 2ND LAW
| # | Song | Performance | Year | Info |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Supremacy | Cologne E-Werk | 2012 | This was the first time ever I listened the song, before T2L went out, and I still love this performance. |
| 2 | Madness | Skavlan Stockholm | 2012 | This first performance was, by far, the best (and only version I like) of Madness live. |
| 3 | Panic Station | Tokyo Zepp | 2013 | Not my favourite song live, but at least here it was a funny moment. |
| 4 | Prelude | Barclaycard Center | 2016 | Nothing special, almost everyone sounds the same. |
| 5 | Survival | L'Olympia Paris | 2012 | One of the few performances where Matt nailed the last note. Survival deserved to stay on the setlists, but... |
| 6 | Follow Me | Cologne E-Werk | 2012 | Follow Me with guitar, and one of the first performances again, being the best one. |
| 7 | Animals | GreenFest | 2015 | Other The 2nd Law song that deserves a comeback, and one of my favs. |
| 8 | Explorers | Rome Olympic | 2013 | Not my favouirte song live neither, at least I preffer it than the 2nd coming one. |
| 9 | Big Freeze | Alternative Version | 2012 | The Never played live song of the album. So, here you got the alternative intro version. |
| 10 | Save Me | Cologne E-Werk | 2012 | Sorry Chris, this is my least favourite Muse song ever, but I love Liquid State instead. |
| 11 | Liquid State | AAC Dallas | 2013 | If Matt needs a vocal rest on today shows, come on, let Chris play this song! |
| 12 | Unsustainable | Bilbao MTV World | 2018 | The first performance with vocals, and I was there! (Thanks for the video) (; |
| 13 | Isolated System | Reading Festival | 2017 | This was special, it was used as an intro to Showbiz, and it fits. |
DRONES
| # | Song | Performance | Year | Info |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dead Inside | Yokohama Arena | 2017 | One of the latest performances until today, sandwiched between Who Knows Who riffs. |
| 2 | [Drill Sergeant] | Buenos Aires | 2019 | It's just a kinda cringy intro, but with the voice effect of the Simulation Theory tour sounds little less awful. |
| 3 | Psycho | Later… with Jools Holland | 2015 | One of the first performances here, powerful and with that scream. |
| 4 | Mercy | Gurtenfestival | 2016 | I'm not a huge fan of this song neither, but this performance feels more energetic, idk why. |
| 5 | Reapers | Big Weekend | 2015 | One of my favourite performances out of the Drones era, probably. Bass tone/mixing on point. |
| 6 | The Handler | Rio de Janeiro | 2015 | This was one of the few gigs were Matt does both the solo variation and that last epic falsetto. |
| 7 | [JFK] | New York City | 2007 | Just an intro, posting a random 2007 version just for the anachronism. |
| 8 | Defector | AB Brussels | 2015 | So requested song in Drones era, but now it didn't grew on me very well. It's not a bad song btw. |
| 9 | Revolt | Paris | 2016 | At least I liked Defector, but I'd never liked Revolt, sorry not sorry. Just putting a random performance again. |
| 10 | Aftermath | Berlin 7sec soundcheck | 2016 | Another case of a Never played live song, I wish they played this instead of Revolt. |
| 11 | The Globalist | Glastonbury | 2016 | On the other hand, this is probably my fav video from the Drones era. |
| 12 | Drones | Barclaycard Center | 2016 | And this is just an outro, every one sounds the same, so... |
