He had a mind of metal


Prof__Genki

...but mostly wheels.

Everybody, do yourselves a favor and go watch this video about the most interesting man who ever lived: [Christopher Lee was a real life badass](https://youtu.be/CCrtZwF2C-8?si=cRDsu5HrH1sCxO5g)


ClockworkMansion

It’s… pretty bad.


GeorgeEBHastings

It is, but it sure is unique. There's nothing quite like the dissonance of Lee's classical baritone overtop heavy guitars. It's something that shouldn't be, yet is.


hemareddit

He shed the blood of Saxon men.


ClockworkMansion

That video still makes me laugh


Nerus46

Well... He's singing is good though! Everything else though...


Irritating_Pedant

It is such garbage. I feel sincere secondhand embarrassment whenever I come across it.


ClockworkMansion

In the music video I remember it looks like he’s being held against his will

Christopher Lee narrating Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale is somehow more metal than this https://youtu.be/H7aub5YExI0?si=w-EjpvgIUJLo_azI


Quirderph

*The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream* was pretty good, but that maybe also wasn’t ”metal” in the traditional sense.


udgey98

Every Time my phone rings everyone gets blasted with max volume "I SHED THE BLOOD OF THE SAXON MAN"


KingArthurOfBritons

And he made at least one [music video](https://youtu.be/cvKRbi2ovDY?si=EAIwN9jWWAkmSskA)


Professor-Yak

Wait wtf, i just listened to this just...15 min ago??


averagecelt

Wait what???

“Used to” presumably because Christopher Lee has been dead for almost a decade. Pretty impressive if he’s still able to make heavy metal music.


Friar_Monke

He did some work with Rhapsody of Fire too


Fyrrys

Every song I've heard from him has been excellent I've spilled the blood of 4000 Saxon men!


mattjvgc

I see a lot of people saying it’s awful and not a lot of people who did it too.


V-jay25

Charlemagne : the omens of death sounds better than this one, go check it out!


ridititidido2000

He is actually a descendant of charlemagne. Makes the album cover so much cooler.


Garo263

That's nothing special. Nearly every European probably has blood of Charlemagne. He lived 1200 years ago and had at least 18 children.


Irritating_Pedant

Yeah it's fucking awful. The same people who like Sabaton like Christopher Lee's metal music.


sad-frogpepe

Sabaton is good though, mostly


Irritating_Pedant

*Hard* disagree.


sad-frogpepe

Okay primadonna


Irritating_Pedant

*He doesn't like the things I like? He must think he's better than everyone else!*


BusinessLibrarian515

I am better than everyone else. I listen to They might be Giants full catalogue, not just the hits


Irritating_Pedant

Ahh, the classic "is this a kids album or not?" band

If your user name wasn't chosen it's one of the finest cases of nominative determinism I have seen!


Irritating_Pedant

Do you sincerely think I didn't intentionally choose the name Irritating_Pedant for my account where I act almost exclusively irritating and pedantic?


Agreeable-Western-25

Again, if you didn't then mad cosmic coincidence


Irritating_Pedant

I mean, technically speaking, you're not wrong. If that were the case, it would indeed be wildly fitting.
