Saruman digs heavy metal (aka Christopher Lee releases metal mini-album for his b-day) Can't Post

Sir Lee, you are one uber cool dude (to this metalhead) Smile

Heavy metal birthday: Christopher Lee marks turning 92 with mini-album


(If this is in the wrong forum, apologies. I've kept to the Hobbit forum mostly and find navigating the other forums a bit overwhelming.)


Fan of both books and movies. Oh, and it seems I have severely misnamed myself... for the moment.

Thanks Lurker [In reply to] Can't Post

This is awesome - I'm not a metalhead, but who can resist this? Someone was just wondering if he would post a video for his birthday (there's a Happy Birthday thread on Off Topic).


You should dip your toes into some of the other forums, they're fun too. There's a Halt and Catch Fire thread going in Off Topic, that should help ease you in. Wink

Apparently, that video is from a few years ago... [In reply to] Can't Post

... or so one of the YouTube comments says.

I just read the Christopher Lee is a distant cousin of Robert E Lee [In reply to] Can't Post

...I always thought he looked a bit like the old general:

"Lee is a step-cousin of Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond spy novels, and a distant relative of Robert E. Lee and the astronomer John Lee.[4]"

I thought he was going to do a Charlemagne trilogy [In reply to] Can't Post

You should check out the first 2 albums he did, based on the character of Charlemagne. The man is just too Epic.Smile
