All your questions about WT

What do you mean?

The first format?

There is no such thing as a format for people. Do you mean the original members or something along those lines?

Probably line up or formation

sorry )
I mean the first members )
because I heard that an ex-component of WT made Delain band

^Ok.Here ere the former memebers of Within Temptation:

Ciro Palma: Drums
Dennis Leeflang: Drums
Ivar de Graaf: Drums, guitars and additional vocals (on 'Gothic X-Mas')

What? I had no idea

^^It`s written on the official forum don`t ask me

ok.thanks very much cris

Ivar wrote Gothic Christmas as well.

I have a question. How do you pronounce the names? I mean, I obviously should know but Dutch names are quite hard to pronounce

^All I know is that we pronounce "Sharoon" instead of Sharon.Onno or Emmy,please correct me if i`m wrong

Yes it is Sharoon but that's the only name I know how to pronounce

Ok so right at the end she says Martijn's name.

And I'll go find somewhere that says Jeroen's name

Edit: http://www.withintemptationtube.com/video/16/Lx-Jovem-Interview-2007

He says he's name at the start

So Jeroens name is pronounced Yieroon? And what about Ruuds?

I didn`t knew how ro peounoce Jeroen`s name before.Sounds nice

You don't know how Ruud is pronounced? I think Sharon calls his name about three times on Mother Earth tour/The Silent Force tour.

'Sharoon'? Maybe I don't get your phonetics but that's not how you should say it. It doesn't rhyme with 'maroon', that's for sure.
The difference in Dutch/English pronounciation is in the 'a'. Think about 'fall'/'fell'. It's the first one (and the second syllable is stressed), although she sometimes says the second one in English interviews (stressing the first one)

I think only Stephen is pronounced in the regular English way.

Lol 'marron'
When Cris ment 'Sharoon' I think she ment you say the R heavier than the other letters. But that's how I say it anyway
And how about den Adel. Do you say den Adel or den Adel? Lol, I suck at at names!

The 'A' in 'den Adel' is stressed, so your first option.

EDIT: For who's interested in Sharon's & Martijn's full name:
http://www.withintemptationtube.com/video/45/Sharon-den-Adel--De-Wereld-Draait-Door
0:13 - 0:14 Sharon den Adel
3:43 - 3:46 Martijn Spierenburg

That's what I thought

Yeah I meant with a heavier R
and abour Ruud,yes I remeber:with a heavier U

I kept pronouncing it 'rude' when I first heard of the band

I think I did that at first too.I couldn`t even prounounce Jeroen at that time

Well now we know it's Yieroon

I think their last names are harder to pronounce, like Westerholt or van Haestregt

Westerholt seems fairly simple to me...

I kept saying jeren haha, oh well.
