slave to zep Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 its funny this is being raised, as i wondered too. i always thought he would pronounce it plarnt, as that is the way most UK people would say it. but on one of the early vids on DVD he introduces the band, including himself, and he says plant ( rhyming with ant ) not plarnt ( rhyming with aunt ). hope that helps.

59LesPaul Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) he says plant ( rhyming with ant ) I've always pronounced it this way as well,and I never thought otherwise until now. Must be me being an arrogant American..... Edited for typo Edited October 6, 2008 by 59LesPaul Quote
longdistancewinner Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 If you're from the Midlands, as both Robert and I are (he's from the West and I'm from the East) it's usually pronounced Plant. If you're from the home counties, and surrounding areas, as are Jimmy and JPJ, you'd pronounced it Plarnt. And if you're from the North, it's usually Plant as well. Though people usually say whatever pronunciation they were raised with. There's no right or wrong way. Quote
Aquamarine Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Given that you're from the Czech Republic, SharkyLZ, I don't think it's a stupid question at all. Quote

Nobody in th UK calls him Robert Plarnt. Nobody in the world calls him Robert Plarnt..... And as for aunt, i say tht as ant. Quote
dave2007 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Nobody in th UK calls him Robert Plarnt. Nobody in the world calls him Robert Plarnt..... And as for aunt, i say tht as ant. Nobody....apart from everyone in London and the South of England...including Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. Quote
Olipticle Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Just came home from 12hr night shift.... Plant as in Plant lmfao plant, Shouldnt be pronouced any different then the way it sounds no adding any r's in there?! Quote
wanna be drummer Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I've always pronounced it this way as well,and I never thought otherwise until now. Must be me being an arrogant American..... Edited for typo Same. Just the way we speak no? Quote
Rowan O. Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) I say Plarnt and my mum says Plant (she's from Ireland). That's so odd, I never thought about it before. I was raised around London and have a different accent than my mum and dad. Accents are weird. This is doing my head in Edited October 7, 2008 by Rowan O. Quote
59LesPaul Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Same. Just the way we speak no? Goddamn right....... Quote
Olipticle Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 lol i still dunno where you got the r from... Quote
lzfan715 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I'm just an American but I say Plant, and it rhymes with ant. Quote
Rowan O. Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 lol i still dunno where you got the r from... Not R like in Rrrrobert, R like in 'car'. Pretend you're English and you're saying 'car'. Now pretend you're English and imagine saying 'Plarnt'. You see? It's all very confusing... Quote
longdistancewinner Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Not R like in Rrrrobert, R like in 'car'. Pretend you're English and you're saying 'car'. Now pretend you're English and imagine saying 'Plarnt'. You see? It's all very confusing... It's like when people pronounce grass like grarss or bath like barth. There's no 'r' in it, it's just the phonetic way of spelling how some people pronounce it. Either way, as long as it's spelt Plant, there's no right or wrong way of pronouncing it. Quote
Tangerine68 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Yeah. you pronounce it just like you would a green plant than grows. Quote
Matt Harris Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Just came home from 12hr night shift.... Plant as in Plant Quote
