Pronunciation of band names.

JIZZLORD

We've all come across this problem, you read about a band, or you acquire some stuff, but you cant pronounce the bands name and are embarrased to ask.

Well how do you pronounce "Kyuss"
i'd go for something that includes the "eye" sound and the 'oose (as in goose) sounds, am i right?

feylya

I pronounce it K-eye-us. It's probably wrong though.

From Wiki:

Kyuss (pronounced )

christophicus

I'm the same as you Feylya

What about Akercocke?
is aker - cock , for example a silent e

or aker - cock - eh

mp3guy

Aker-cock-eee

But the eee part isn't that long. Thats how its pronounced on the "Words That Go Unspoken" DVD.

Necrophagist is pronounced Necro-fag-ist, according to an interview with Muhammed Suiçmez

For Kyuss, I'd say it as: K-eye-us, just like the second poster. I was gonna ask it anyway.

Pretty much sure it Day-eh-side. Never heard anyone pronounce it any other way!

Sepultura? Well they say 'Say-pull-too-rah' but for years I saud 'Sep-ul-chew-ra'. I think it was a northside thing meself

Mind you, I did once overhear someone talk about 'that band Metal-eeeeka'...

melekalikimaka

i used to make a right boob out of saying INXS - innix

Alter-Ego

Its K-eye-us.

Children of Bodom. Is it Boe-dom, or is the first "o" not stretched out?

projectmayhem

the one everyonei know struggles with is Mnemic, which is pronounced "nee-mik"

All the Brazilians I've met pronounced it like "Seh-pull-too-rah" so that's what I go by.

I'm sure Children of Bodom is "Bow-dom". I used to say "Bod-umm".

Nightwish

Its Bo-dumm according to some Finns I know.

Double C

and I've read from their website that it's pronounced See-gur Rose (but the rose is sort of shortened, think of saying roast but without the t)

the actual pronounciation is See-ur Row-ss, according to their site. the s in the Ros is very pronounced, so its not like "rows", but rowsssss, if that makes sense. imagine it being pronounced by a snake, haha

iFight

Delorentos

evad_lhorg

JIZZLORD
