By now, I think we're all pretty weary of film stars who, by virtue of their success, are allowed and even encouraged to act out their rock star dreams. I won't dignify these folks by listing them here.

Okay, I'll make an exception for Bruce Willis, a fine actor whose "The Sixth Sense" remains one of my favorite movies, but whose 2003 performance fronting a blues band in the Wolf Den still haunts my dreams in ghastly fashion. And I'll make a bigger exception for Keanu Reeves. His portrayal of Johnny Utah in the superbly awful "Point Break" would be the worst thing in the history of the arts — if his participation as the bassist in the band Dogstar didn't blow by his "Point Break" stinkery like a greyhound racing past a cockroach. 

But! Now I learn that Christopher Lee, whom I loved as a kid for his Dracula and Frankenstein roles in the Hammer horror films, was a metal dude! I mean, not only did Lee, who died on June 7 at 93, actively love heavy metal as a fan, he collaborated with bands like Manowar and Rhapsody of Fire, and was a close pal of Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. Even cooler: in 2010, Lee released the first of several of his own metal albums and EPs! 

Here is a list of heavy metal albums. Included are titles of three actual Lee recordings; the rest I made up. Can you guess which ones are real? (Answers below.)

1. "A Heavy Metal Christmas Too"

2. "Never Enough Demons!"

3. "A Choir of Decomposing Children"

4. "Charlemagne: The Omens of Death"

5. "Metal Knight"

6. "Hell Needs a Septic Tank"

If you chose 1, 4 and 5, you're damned good. Celebrate by watching Lee's 1965 classic, "Dracula: Prince of Darkness." Or by listening to "Metal Knight." Sample it here with some commentary by Lee.
