the lord of the rings is in fact a ring.
It controls other rings.

There's a shitty theory that Gandalf intended to do just that.

When Gandalf the Grey falls after the Belrog he says something along the lines of "fly you fools" hoping that one of the members of the fellowship would understand but they don't.

Nah, the "Lord" is explicitly Sauron. At the end of novel, one of the possible titles given by Frodo for the Redbook is "The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings".

found it:
>"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

Nope, Sauron is the lord of the rings as a result of his use of the One Ring; the Ring is a tool. One wouldn't call a gun a murderer for being used to kill someone.
