Christopher Lee : Charlemagne Musical Probe

January 19, 2010

RevolutionSF Probe consumes nerd-related things, so you can wisely spend time not working. Geek explosion content is reasons you will like it, dork disengagement level is why you won't.

Charlemagne musical

Dork disengagement level: Let's see. Nerd-friendly legendary actor. Heavy metal. Wait, I have one! Maybe you don't like musicals. Maybe you don't like musicals or metal. If that's you, I really think you should examine yourself. Wait, not in public!

Geek explosion content: It's Christopher Lee, Saruman from Lord of the Rings. His voice rules. He pronounces theater as "thyatah." And check out this 16 second concert clip where he proclaims the truth about metal.

Now he's doing a musical about Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor and kind of a badass. And he calls it symphonic metal.

Lee talks all about it in this video. He says it's "just a coincidence," but he found out recently that he's descended from Charlemagne. That rules even harder.

The CD is out in March, but you can hear clips already at the YouTube site.

My favorite clip is from "Bloody Verdict of Verden." He shed the blood of a Saxon man. Damn straight.

Geek explosion level: 950,000 geek parts per million.


RevolutionSF's Joe Crowe rocks almost as hard as Air Supply.
