Hello! I go by the terribly unimaginative handle Mnero as my name is Maria Nero. You may know me on Instagram as Muse Historical Society Feel free to follow me!!!

or on Twitter as Muse Historical Society Follow me there too!!

If you're still into Facebook, I'm at Muse Historical Society

I also have a snazzy YouTube Channel featuring, of course, Muse Videos! However, due to the constant harassment from YouTube's copyright algorithms, I've started to relocate my videos to the Internet Archive. You can see my channel here.

AND DID I MENTION MATT BELLAMY WISHED ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY?? Still can't get over it. What a sweetheart.

AND I just managed to get hold of Matt's 2007 Stadium Tour AAA Pass! Yay!

And Matt liked my post wishing him Happy 42nd Birthday - the man never likes anything on IG!

Muse's producer from the 1st EPs and early albums agreed to answer a few questions for me! He was so nice. You can read the interview HERE

I am also the admin for the Murph the Robot IG account as well as the Dogs of Muse IG account.

Also, if I can share a secret - When Matt released Cryosleep for RSD not one store near me carried it. So guess who sent me a copy?

Either way, Muse is my passion and Muse History is my specialty. I'm always on the web and social media looking for Muse related info. I'm very responsive to questions and many look to me for answers to Muse related questions and also provide me with inside information to add to the Musewiki.

Muse is life.

I've only just begun....

UPDATE: Time constraints have caused me to slow down a bit but I am still on the lookout for gig info.
In fact: I just found a XFM live studio recording from 9/24/2003 that wasn't even listed on the gig page.

Muse Live

Times I've seen Muse live and in the flesh, and each time was magic!

Feb 1, 2016 at Verizon Center, Washington DC
Aug 1, 2017 at KeyBank Pavilion, Burgettstown, PA
Apr 2, 2019 at Capital One Arena, Washington DC - Met with Kara Paulus the Production Coordinator (and the PowerGlove on Instagram) and OMG I WAS RIGHT UP FRONT - See my YouTube Channel for the videos. Did the Enhanced Experience too - those games were awesome.
Apr 7, 2019 at Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia PA - Had a lovely conversation with Caris Wolstenholme. She is so cute and tiny. Talked with Marc Carolan too; and he saved me a setlist. Such a sweetheart!
