No so much rock and metal, but how do you pronounce !!! ?

Any syllable of your choice repeated three times (normally chk chk chk but it could be bam bam bam or dig dig dig or ping ping ping or John John John).

COH is easy to make a mistake on, he writes his name in Cryllic so it's pronounced Sun!

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

I have a few I need solved!

The song ZZYZX RD. by STONE SOUR
Do you say Z-Z-Y-Z-X Road or what?


Augustana?
Is it august-ana or august-ayna?

Help!:D

- bo -

Zzyzx is pronounced "Zizx" (like you say the last z and x together fast). Also when he mentions it he doesnt mention the Rd. part, just Zzyzx.

How do I know? from meeting the man himself Corey Taylor a couple of months ago



Also, Chimaira? Not into them or anything, just curious. Ive always called them "Chih-mai-ra". But I heard a couple of people abroad recently call them something like "Kye-maira"

Smegball

I find U2 tough to pronounce personally

Het-Field

Queensryche

LightofDarkness

Like "Queen's Reich (a la the 3rd reich)". And yes, it's Bo-dum.

I always pronounced it queen syrche, because i never actually bothered to properly read the name

Delorentos
Is it De-lor-entos or Delore-entos?

It's del-er-n-toes.. well I think it is anyway!

Numina

partial bump, partial random thought.

for anybody wondering Mortiis is just pronounced mortis, not Morteese. He had a pen pal who always signed off with "Mortiis", thought it was cool, and used it as the name of his project, then 3 years into the "Mortiis" project, he realised that he had been spelling it wrong the entire time.

Yeah same here, I always said Queen Sryche until a few months ago when I was talking to a big queensryche fan and he enlightened me

Corruptedmorals

I've pronounced Anathema wrong for years...Anna-thema instead of Anath-ema. I prefer my way though

I pronounce Xasthur as "zass-thoor" but I don't know if that's right or not.

I've never heard it any way.

Also, to the poster about Chimera, either way is technically correct afaik.

Agreed, I find myself still saying that, then correcting myself. If only....

Just call them what we want, they will eventually succumb to our will.
