87 year old Christopher Lee is recording a metal album

Christopher Lee is above legend. Nothing will ever be awesome again after Christopher Lee. Maybe not even Dio.

True. Most 87 year olds comtemplate if they'll make it out of bed before they pee.

Metal props to the old guy.

I remember when I was around five years old, my brother took me to the movies to see "Dracula Has Risen From The Grave" with Christopher Lee. At one point during the movie, I literally jumped out of my seat, screamed, and ran out of the theater. I was scared! My brother could not talk me into watching the rest of the movie, so instead, he beat me the whole way home. Ahh... the good ol' days.

Anyway, I've got to check this out. A metal CD from my favorite Dracula. I can't wait to tell my brother.

Have you listened to the sound samples on myspace?

My first thought was KISS "Music From The Elder"

Let's give the guy some kudos for TRYING NEW STUFF AT HIS AGE!

Sure, I give him kudos for trying new stuff.

And I take those kudos back because it sucks.

I don't know why but I find this to be funniest comment I have read on this board in awhile

I can't get excited about anything an 87 years old person would do. Except continue to exist.

Christopher Lee turned 90 on May 27, and he celebrated by recording two new heavy metal songs...

Quote :

‘Let Legend Mark Me As King;’ and ‘The Ultimate Sacrifice,’ arranged by Judas Priest lead guitarist Richie Faulkner, are part of a new album, Charlemagne: The Omens of Death.

And they'll be just as horrible as the other ones.

If everyone would stop saying how awesome it is, maybe he would.

On the bright side, he'll be dead soon.
