@kichae Motörhead are British, so I assume very similar to you. But the diacritics in the name are pure stylistic choice. A German trying to pronounce it would basically go Motuuuhrhead.
(Mind you, the word Motor exists in German as well, but without umlaut)

@kyonshi@dice.camp Yeah, I mean, my German classes are 20 years behind me now, but ö really isn’t that alien of a sound in this context for us. It would just sound like we were playing up a rural French-Canadian accent or something. Which… maybe makes the whole British band getting weirded out thing make more sense, now that I think about it.
