How to pronounce bands properly!

[Chris]

Just a singer or a band.. and tell US HOW you pronounce it?
It can be so tricky... :(

Edit: Wrong forum, please move it to the lounge. ;)

[jrgen]

That's not how you pronounce Björk.

[Meat Puppet]

Tell him how to, then.

[Dr.K]

I thought you pronounced it 'Be-york', which is, unless senility has come on prematurely, how I heard Chris say it.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I canst pronunciate Nearvarner!

[Rye]

I thought you pronounced it 'Be-york', which is, unless senility has come on prematurely, how I heard Chris say it.

I pronounce it Be-york too.

B-jerk without the "'d' in the 'j'".
Like Byerk or something.

The 'ö' or 'ø' is pronounced like 'i' in 'dirt', 'e' in 'jerk' or 'u' in 'murder'.
The 'j' is pronounced like the english 'y'.

[I Don't Need A Name]

I canst pronunciate Nearvarner!
You pronaounce it Ne-Var-Na (spelt Nirvana)

[Aurey]

I never knew how to pronounce µ-Ziq for a long time. I think I was calling something like q-zeek or something stupid like that. :P I found out that it's really pronounced mew-zeek. Yay.

[eestlinc]

byerk is right

nur-vahn-uh, or just crap-pee if you prefer (i do)

[Meat Puppet]

[I Don't Need A Name]
