Symphonic Metal: First Album

We’ll have to agree to disagree here. I think it’s entirely possible that Paul ONCE thought that Rhapsody was Lee’s (back up) band, but there is no way he still thinks that. He is baiting you, and you’re taking it. Even his words make no claim that this video is proof that Rhapsody is Lee’s band, note does he claim that Rhapsody is Lee’s band. You’re reading between the lines to make that inference. Paul often writes in a deliberately vague and ambiguous manner that offers the opportunity for someone to take offence. But the key there is someone is taking offence, rather than Paul being offensive. I’m not suggesting Paul has never been offensive, because he certainly has been, at times. But careful reading shows that he is often not saying exactly what people assume he is saying.

And, of course, I could be wrong. I tend to be naive and like to give people the benefit of the doubt, which is why I continue to engage with people like Paul and David and Pedro, because I don’t think they intend to be malicious or offensive, and they do often have views I agree with, or that I can learn from.

To be fair to Paul, he’s not at all inaccurate here. He says “Christopher Lee performing with Rhapsody”, which is exactly what this is. So I take it as an acknowledgment that he recognises that the two are different artists. Just as you could accurately say “here’s Jon Anderson performing with King Crimson” about Lizard. Neither statement actually says that Rhapsody is Lee’s band, or that Krimson is Anderson’s.

No, it's Rhapsody with guest Christopher Lee. 

Rhapsody - The Magic of the Wizard's Dream is a song from Rhapsody's 2004 album. Symphony Of Enchanted Lands II - The Dark Secret

please comment, since when do you worry I'd get annoyed? 

Christopher Lee was a guest narrator and singer on one (or two possibly) of Rhapsody's albums (or Rhapsody of Fire who knows, there were 4 line-ups at some point ). 

No Rhapsody musicians were in Lee's metal band. So I don't even know where you got the idea that the musicians of Rhapsody were Lee's back up band. 

I don't know how David is with growls, possible he is not into it, but even I dislike a lot o growlers. The other users that posted here are not appalled by growls. 

Paul, you might prefer this...
