Favourite Metallica abbreviations?

[SLAYER85]

Metlarzica

 

[Hell Mike]

Note that while telking about the TRUE MetallicA (The only MetallicA I talk about) they are always referred to (Spoken or written) as MetallicA. Pronounced kinda like in 'whiplash' but with a shorter first 'a'.

Someone here on UM (I think it was Raistlin1980 but I'm not sure) once said "fruitallica"

Ya lost me there.. How can "metallica," a four-syllable word, be pronounced similarly to "whiplash," a two-syllable word? [besides that, I just haven't known anyone to bother capitalizing the last "A", though I can kind of understand it as a distinction based on the logo]

Oh, do forgive me, I should have made the last 'a' a capital.



That's stupid IMO - just because a band has a particular logo, it doesn't mean you have to try and replicate it when you're typing.

It's like when people write 'KoRn' - what's the point?

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I dunno, I never realized I type KoRn automatically. But I never type PanterA. Hmmm...

It's not only meant to look like the logo, there's a bid fucking difference between MetallicA and metallica, fruitallica or whatever you may like the best. And I won't explain that whiplash crap I said, if you don't get it, you don't get it.

 

[Niklas]

METASSLICKER!

Certainly.. It's obvious that yours isn't intended to poke fun at a band that takes themselves way more seriously than anyone else can, while the others do just that.

And I won't explain that whiplash crap I said, if you don't get it, you don't get it.

Very helpful.. I figured it was some "clicque"ish thing, and obviously, I don't belong therein. And I'm happy not to "get" something that noone is interested in explaining. Of course, I suspect it has more to do with the fact that there can be no suitable explanation, because it has no basis as is.

 

[Hell Mike]

It's about the pronouncation, I could give you a .wav if you're so fucking interested.

And no, mine isn't supposed to 'poke fun' at MetallicA, they are fucking awesome. metallica, though, suck.

*sigh* listen to the metallica song "whiplash", and one of the lyrics that he sings in the song is the word metallica. i think thats the pronounciation that sorath is talking about..how he says the word in the song whiplash.

But we will never stop
We will never quit
cause we are Metallica

Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

there ya go

 

[Hell Mike]

Not quite what I mean, but I'm fucking pissed of at the moment so I won't explain any better either.

 

[skeptik]

Haha, it's not hard to figure out, he fucking saying, to pronounce the band name "Metallica," the first 'a' in Metallica is pronounced like the 'a' in the word "whiplash." Basically, what he's saying he when you pronounce the name "Metallica," the emphasis is as follows: Me - 'tall - i - ca; No, I'm not saying you pronounce it as 'Me tall I kuh,' I'm saying that the 'a' in the 'tall' syllable is stressed, as in the word 'whiplash.' If you can correctly pronounce 'whiplash,' you should be able to manage 'Metallica.'

*sigh* listen to the metallica song "whiplash"...

Thankee kindly.. I hereby apologize for my earlier snippiness... Of course, I don't suppose that will saitisfy anyone.. [and it seems Sorath doesn't quite agree with the explanation anyway..]

Back to my audio editting..

I certainly don't get this meaning from what was said earlier, but I've never been as savvy with reading comprehension as with math.. It's pretty easy to say, "place the accent on the second syllable," but that wasn't said...

 

[The Real Moonchild]

Garthallica when Mama Said got out.

 

[Hell Mike]

Dodens Grav seems to have it all figured out and properly explained.
