LuketheXjesse Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 You know, the guy who played Saruman in Lord of the Rings? Apparently he's doing a Symphonic Metal album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar of Justice Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 This is the same man who was a secret agent in World War 2. During filming of LotR, when Saruman was stabbed in the back by Grima Wormtounge, Peter Jackson was displeased with the gurgling noise Lee made and told him to change it to something else. Lee informed him that the sound Jackson was making was not the sound a man stabbed in the back made. I am pre-ordering this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooray for two discs of bonus features! The concept of this album is really kinda cool too. It's the story of Charlemange, and it turns out Christopher Lee is actually related to him. That's so badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm gonna guess that recording for Rhapsody of Fire is what got him to do this - cool man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuketheXjesse Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 probably inspired him, like Bahamut said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC2151 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I already knew Christopher Lee was awesome, but this makes him even cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Lee#Involvement_in_World_War_II Jesus fucking christ, I now fear that man. I will send him the heads of his enemies to appease him, just as a precaution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Already saw that on the Helloween messageboard. Christopher Lee is a great actor. I'll take a listen to it when it'll come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Wasn't he also Count Dookie? He's a badass. Looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Count Dookie? Is that some distant relative to Tre Cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battousai Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Didn't he already sing for an italian orchestral metal band called Rhapsody or something? This shouldn't surprise anybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XZero Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm kind of speechless .... Christopher Lee is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Didn't he already sing for an italian orchestral metal band called Rhapsody or something? This shouldn't surprise anybody! They're Rhapsody of Fire now, and he didn't really sing so much as recite the history of the story being told in the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Biznut Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I really don't even think I care. Just kidding, this is the coolest thing I have read in a while! I think that the story of Charlemagne is worthy of this type of retelling, I'll be happy to give it a listen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenner Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Christopher Lee was the man that made Ian McKellan gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 They're Rhapsody of Fire now, and he didn't really sing so much as recite the history of the story being told in the album. I think he actually did sing in one song on the Symphony of Enchanted Lands II album, The Magic of the Wizard's Dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
