That's kind of insulting, honestly. Americans aren't all drooling morons.

You know Led Zeppelin changed their name so that Americans wouldn't mispronounce it. True story.

I thought their original name was the New Yardbirds? What's hard to pronounce about that?

Well, originally the name was spelt "Lead Zeppelin", but they decided to drop the 'a', incase Americans pronounced it as "Leed". Also, you do realise that the New Yardbirds were a different band? Be it containing Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin.

I think changing their name so Americans wouldn't mispronounce lead--which doesn't even have a spelling difference between British and American English--is probably related more to stupidity on their part.

Also, Def Leppard. What the hell.

The first time I heard that joke (slight variation, albeit) was from Jon Olson, of Wolf Eyes.
Olson (onstage): "Hey guys, I have a joke. What has nine arms and sucks? Def Leppard. Okay, what has six arms and sucks? Wolf Eyes."
