Woods of Epree ?

[FUBAR]

Is this the correct way to pronounce the bands name? silent S right? or is it Woods of epre? or maybe Whypres?

 

[matt schrauben]

Ee-pray is the way to say it.

 

[FUBAR]

Ee-pray is the way to say it.

Aha Cheers

 

[Stretch]

i keep sayin it woods of yip-ray

 

[sdmf2]

haha. I knew how to pronounce it from History class actually. we were studying WW1 and Woods of Ypres is a significant battlefield where Canada fought. though I'm sure a lot of you knew that from the thread about it

 

[flemflames]

Woods of "Eepr"

Having visited Ypres, it seems to vary in how it is pronounced, depending on the speakers elocution. Although generally it is EE-PREZ.

thats how i thought it was until i listened to "dragged across a forest floor"

Woods of "Eepr"

Inderdaad, I have to second that.

Of course the band themselves pronounce it "Ee-pray" so in this case I'll have to go with that. Flemflames is correct regarding the Flemish town, though.

I suppose this is all semantic, due to the various accents we all have. North Americans tend to emphasise the GOW in Glasgow, when native Scot's would use a more OH sound, so I suppose providing we're not calling it Spoongadoolahdahd, then we're all correct

 

[Lionfrost]

Quite right, Derek.
Spoongadoolahdahd sounds like a city in the Middle East, btw.
