Merle Haggard is a dead man. The good times really are over

You're mixing things up. German orthography uses 'ch' for two distinct sounds, one being the voiceless velar fricative as in Scottish 'loch', the other being a voiceless palatal fricative, as in German 'ich'. The closest thing English has to that is a 'hj' sound, as in 'huge' when pronounced in Oxford English. It's one of the sounds in German that is the hardest to reproduce by non-native speakers and even a lot of native speakers who speak variant dialects - as you noted, it turns to 'sh' very easily. In fact, more and more native speakers are losing the ability to pronounce it properly, and it will probably completely disappear in a few generations.

Reading this post gives me a feeling of déjà vu.

Feel like I've been here before

I'm sure there's a sloppy seconds joke to be made there...

Piece of cake.

Maybe a part 2? There's plenty of good NWOBHM albums out there. Or maybe a list on US power metal or the New Wave of Tradition Metal?

I did feel wrong leaving off See You in Hell, Welcome to Hell, and a few others from Priest and Maiden. I'm definitely going to be posting a top 10 USPM albums sometimes in June. I think next up I'll be doing a Top Ten 80's Thrash Metal albums, or something similar. I plan to be posting a review every sunday, and either a top ten list or something similar every other Tuesday!

Of course it is easy for you, half your language consists of "ch" sounds

I find I come up with my best soft stuff when I calm down after attempting to take my anger out on my instruments and playing heavy stuff at a rapid pace.

 

[Brigantium]

Music's a great way to get stuff out of your system.

Nothing like coming home from work on Friday, open a beer, turn your guitar amp as high as you dare, and blast out Creeping Death

 

[Black Wizard]

Will you serenade us in June?

 

[Brigantium]

It's only Thursday.

 

[Black Wizard]

I don't think he was suggesting that it is Thursday.He just told us what eh gets up to on Fridays.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

It's only Thursday.

Yeah, so the blasting will have to wait until tomorrow.

I can provide the guitar playing. You have to sing. I should probably give my neighbours a heads up.

I just heard this and it's awesome.

 

[Perun]

That's surprisingly cool.
