Talk:Týr (band)

message: How does one pronounce Týr anyway? I've been saying 'Tear', but thats probably wrong. Any ideas, and should it be added to the article?  -- GXice 14:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: i'm no good with IPA, but there's an IPA writing of the band's name on one of the other wiki's, i'll add it. ...Patrick (talk, cntrb.) 04:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's pronounced like Toy-er, and the Faroese would flick the R at the end in a short trill. the 'ý' is like 'oy'. --Crescent Armada 14:45, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I am faroese myself, and I can attest that the faroese pronunciation of Týr sounds pretty much like the english pronunciation of Toy'er, with a strong R in the end. But I believe that the correct english pronunciation of Týr sounds exactly the same as the english pronunciation of 'Tir' would sound. Sammi84 (talk) 18:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

: I too wish to know if they're singing in Danish or Faroese. --Burbster 20:47, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They also have a song in norwegian (although they use some older words and the pronounciation is kinda funny); "Sinklars visa" --46.9.12.58 (talk) 18:43, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

text: Death metal? I own the full discography and don't remember a single death metal song. It's all Folk/Progressive, with some power metalesque riffs here and there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.19.118.117 (talk) 19:49, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

message: i saw it on some other pages and thought it could go here. i mean they were formed in denmark. ~~Patrick~~ 18:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Faroes have been an independent region of the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948. The lived in the Faroes when they formed the band so it is not Denmark where the band was started. Dexter prog 15:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  According to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=823xCLZL1BY, they were all living in Copenhagen during the band's founding. However, they are all from the Faeroe islands, so, yeah :P Wikim3 00:11, 01 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Heri is a follower of the Asatru religion but the other members are not. It is fact. Just for reference if someone felt the need to add that to Tyr's wiki.

thread_title:  Asatru 

message: Either a reference must be cited regarding the supposed similarity between Tyr and Dream Theater/Iron Maiden or these references should be removed permanently.  They are essentially irrellevent anyway.  I personally disagree with both of those comparisons and am a fan of all three bands, therefore, I am removing the "opinion" (as it surely is until cited by a band member or publication).  I do realize that some of Joensen's favorite bands are Dream Theater and Iron Maiden, but there are too many influences to simply pick one or two and that information is already stored on Joensen's page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.237.108.32 (talk) 03:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The only relation to Dream Theater is the progressive style. However, there was one (just ONE) song which made me wonder if I had put my player on Shuffle and it had skipped from Týr to Iron Maiden.--190.19.118.117 (talk) 19:50, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Something to consider... if Berliner Institut für Faschismus-Forschung und Antifaschistische Aktion does not merit its own Wikipedia page due to lack of notability, how is their accusation as detailed on this band's page in any way notable?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.101.49.64 (talk) 21:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I fixed up the pronunciation so it's up-to-date with the template (hovering your cursor over each letter of the English pronunciation helps you pronounce the word). I removed the "Toyer" from the infobox, which shouldn't have been there at any rate. However, it turns out that "toyer" and the original pronunciation were not compatible with each other. Since I don't know how to pronounce Týr, someone will have to double check the work and update it as needed. Here is the IPAc-en guide. Currently, the pronuncation is "toyer", which rhymes with boy-er. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 07:09, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The completely arbitrary pronunciation "toyer" was added by 71.123.174.55 on 19 March 2011. I can't see why you kept it, since you weren't sure whether it was correct. I had added the usual English pronunciation of the name of the band on 1 April 2010; see the lede of the article on Týr. --Omnipaedista (talk) 05:34, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah excellent. Thanks for explaining your edit. I didn't check the history to see who added it, and I wouldn't have known what to do with it at any rate. Fair enough! : ) – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 05:37, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
