Band Fight....

[tooloudalex]

Ok not a fight per say but a major dissagreement... Drummer + bassist vs Guitars, with a singer feeding the fire

How do you pronouce "Tour"

its it more like Tore

or Too Er


This should be fun... Let chaos ensue!

 

[Invisible_Sun]

I pronounce it like the dictionary tells you how to pronounce it.

The Canadian dictionary that is.

That'd make it too-ur

 

[alfaBAT9]

As long as bass isn't siding with guitar(d)s, the outcome isn't important.

 

[JMac- Wiskerface Designs]

No holds barred Dumpster Match!

 

[Woofer]

Sounds like "Tore", rhymes with "Door."

 

[Staccato]

Too-er. This is the standard american pronounciation. There, you have it!

 

[tooloudalex]

the drummer and i are on the Too ur side, the guitarists are on the Tore rhymes with door side, the vocalist is just throwing out comments to piss people off because he likes to watch us fight haha

 

[JamcoPasamerson]

According to Websters and Cambridge dictionaries as well as dictionary.com it is pronounced with an "oo" sound not an "oh" sound. Whoever said Too-er was correct. I checked five different dictionaries (hard copy and internet) and they all say the same thing.

Here is a link to the Cambridge online dictionary definition with audio samples (American and British) of the correct pronunciation,.

P.S. I am an American born and raised and I have been touring for 25 + years now all over the world. In all my travels I have never heard anyone anywhere refer to it as a "tore". Must be a regional dialect thing.

Since when? Haven't been to Indiana but no one on the east coast says it that way... interesting.

Correction, Brits with a pole up their **** trying to sound better educated than the next oik might say tore, but not the Queen. She goes on tour like everyone else.

 

[St Drogo]

Don't call it a tour, call it a campaign. "Cam-pain"

 

[Rob22315]

Grew up outside Philly - tour rhymes with door.

 

[thesilence]

Tor rhyming with door floor core rock bore nor or for more

 

[StuFordBass]

definitely to-ur. and if anyone disagrees, set them on fire and quit the band because they arent worth your time.

 

[thesilence]

Don't call it a tour, call it a campaign. "Cam-pain"

off topic but I saw this and going to Auburn University I immediately thought you were talking about Cam Newton's heisman Cam-pain so of course I have to chime in with Tour rhyming with war as in War Eagle

 

[KevInDaBassment]

tomato, tomatoe...let's call the whole thing off =)
