Not Hearing Accents In Classic Rock

[PinkFloyd]

To me it all sounds like American English most of the time.

Scorpions (German)
Pink Floyd (British)
AC/DC (Australian)

They all sound American to me! Can anyone relate or am I losing it.

from what i know they watch alot of american tv and can do some voice acting....like muse and andrew Lincoln from the walking dead i think he english

[Synyster Shadows]

Yeah, that's true. A lot of them do use American accents when they perform. You're not going totally crazy

youre all good totally normal but listen to some better rock like Dire Straights, supertramp, styx, led zeppelin etc

I have noticed that too for the most part.
Although to me Pink Floyd sounds very British in The Wall.
Sting almost sounds French to me for some reason.
I thought one old song called Brand (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvex2NjzTwM)y was being sung
by a heavyset black guy and found out it was a skinny white guy.
It's not always easy to tell from the voice alone.

I don't listen to only those 3 I listed :rolleyes:

For fucks sake, Immigrant Song and Money for nothing are awesome! In fact, I think Money for nothing has one of the best riffs of all time. I'll listen to Renegade occasionally.

Okay, you're right about the Wall. "Hey You" ispretty British.

It's because when you sing, you use your mouth differently than when you normally speak. When singing, you relax the muscles in your mouth (typically) and open up in order to make an echo chamber so you project your voice further. This relaxed form is pretty similar to Northern-American dialect.

I kinda figured something like that happens. Thanks for the clarification.
