Anyway, a friend gave me a link to a video of Christopher Lee (Of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings fame) singing with Italian metal band Rhapsody, and I felt the need to share it with you. He has a suprisingly rich voice, and I'm rather impressed by it.

I think I remember reading somewhere that he's a classically trained singer. When Rhapsody brought Lee in to record the narration for Symphony Of Enchanted Lands 2: The Dark Secret, rumor has it that Lee was dissapointed that the band asked him only to narrate, and not sing, which prompted the re-recording of The Magic Of The Wizard's Dream. And once again Rhapsody proves that they know OTT.
And they recorded it in four languages!

"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

His bio on his official site lists opera amongst his "hobbies".

Oh, yes. They usually do. That's the only reason that I can't listen to them for very long at a timeUraniun235 wrote:Rhapsody definitely counts as a guilty pleasure for me - the music and sound is awesome, but the lyrics sometimes sound like 14 year olds playing D&D.
. Sometimes it drives me up a fucking wall.Plus, and not to be an ass, but in, for instance, "Dragonland's Rivers" you get "see the deer, twolls and wouves, wuvwee kweeeeechurs~~~". I know English pronunciation, especially in song, is difficult... but damn!

Wow, too bad he doesn't sign with the Transiberian Orchestra this winter. I could go see him in person!
