Sir Christopher Lee and metal?

I learned of that a few minutes ago, he came into metal after running into Black Sabbath, I read.

Is this well known, or I have been living a big rock (small rock right now)?

Too late today, but I want to hear some tomorrow.

Written as quite a gentleman as well.

Didnt know that either; pretty cool.

Yeah, I've known about that for a while. Long before he died. Never listened to any of his stuff, though... I kinda forgot about it until now.

Makes sense. Who's more heavy metal than him?

Craziest shit this month.
Was he really this bad ass or are these just chuck Norris stories.

Yeah, he was pretty badass.. I don't know about all of those items listed, but I know most of them are true. He did work for British Intelligence, and had quite an interesting background. I don't know about literal Nazi hunting, but I wouldn't doubt it.

[edit]

Just listened to that song... It's kinda "meh", but I give him props for being like 90 years old at the time.

I thought Lee was also in the famous cybernauts avengers episode. Turns out it was Peter cushing.
Lee was in a different avengers episode where they had robots. More bad ass

Then there was this. The man was hard core.

"According to the video, Jackson was blocking a scene in which Wormtongue (Brad Dourif) stabs Saruman (Lee) in the back. Jackson goes into a long explanation about how he wants Lee to react and Lee says, 'Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody’s stabbed in the back? Because I do.'"
