good, i want to b a prick. but i originally just asked if this was a problem for anyone else, cuz i think its problem for me. got talked out too much. but i should've expected that from people who have enough time to insert pictures into responses to help prove a point. lol...
YES OMFG INSERTING PICTURES INTO THE POST TOOK ME SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH TIME OMFG!!!!11!!!11!11!
this whole thread fails imo let them pronounce it how they want, if they actually care enough to meet the band then they'll get pwned by the guys and if they don't care enough then they'll probably not even be listening to the fucking music for very long anyway
Yeah this girl i know told me she likes "Children of Bawdom" I was like "aw fuck..." And went back to my room to avoid yelling.
I guy I know who hates metal used to call them Children of the Bedroom in some attempt to be funny. Then I killed him. Yeh. THAT"S WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE IF YOU FUCK UP BODOM'S NAME YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEE!
omfg fetzer, +1. my friend says that and it annoys me. but at least he knows how to say it correctly. heartless name, where do you live? like, country.
Late, me? No... I had kind of same situation when I was in Ruisrock. I was waiting for CoB to start their gig and there was 3 drunken teenagers, girls. And then one of them phoned to somebody and she just kept saying "We are watching Child Of Bodom" and her friends tried to say that its Children of Bodom. Well, at that moment I got a bit pissed off, but now I couldnt care less. It annoys me a little, if I hear somebody talking about Bodom like "Final Countdown is their best cover" etc. If someone in Finland would pronounce name Children of Bodom wrong, I think it would annoy me, but I dont expect that for example the americans could pronounce word "Bodom" correct (or, well, like we finns do)
well,I don't think it depends of where you come from.for example I come from Spain and my friends(not exactly Bodom fans,tbh)are able to say the name ok,even though I must admit that is one of the countries with worst overall level of english,,90% of the poblation at least in my boundaries seem so retarded when they try to speak or write english,hehe(I'll never thank enough my parents,who obliged me to go to an academy when I was 5 so I've got 13 years learning english by now and I think that I can safely say that I don't mess up too much while using the language,).
i think it's not only a prob of the correct pronouncing of the name.. i, for examlpe, come from germany, and right here it sometimes is completely the same -.- about five years ago maybe ten of all metalheads livin here knew the band, right now evry damn faggot is keepin on tellin how kewl CoB is.. i don't wanna say crap like "in the old times", or "the old albums". CoB is a pretty popular metal band right now, and it's okay evrybody knowin them. it just pisses me off that evry stupid little pussyrocker i knew from maybe a year before and always listened to kinda "silent" things like punk rock or just hard rock now tells me they always knew how kewl the CoBguys are, how impressive, and just start buyin shirts or other clothes from them, wearin their patches, but if ya at least ask them for one song, they maybe know two, three if ya got a lucky day ^^ i think u just have to know what yer tellin others, and what kind of music you stand for, if ya don't do that yer not better then all the mainstream-running guys with now own opinion.
I know the feeling...it's fucking annoying! I'd want to tell them off too but then they'd act like they know them better.
