I am so important I feel the need to let it be known like a liberal discovering the internets for the first time. Uh hur hur hur. I also wash myself with a rag on a stick.

As I was talking to squak... It seems impossible to have so many lines be satanic concidentally (sp?) or maybe they tried to put it in there, but that's unlikely.







...The world may never know...

Alex Jones: Do you want the puppet on the right or the puppet on the left? What a bunch of garbage; liberal democrat, conservative, republican. It's all there to control you! Two sides of the same coin. Two management teams bidding for control, the CEO job of Slavery, Incorporated! The truth is out there in front of you, but they lay out this buffet of lies. I'm sick of it, and I'm not going to take a bite out of it, do you got me?

I hope and pray you are using the term legit loosely, though I do obviously pull my previously posted Google link. I shall, however, find a better one that succinctly states "get real."

why are you taking this so seriously? I only did this because it sounded interesting. I am not going to fall to my knees and beg the lord led zepplin for forgiveness or start running around saying that led zepplin is associated with the devil. I just find odd coincidences like this amusing, like Pink floyd and the wizard of oz. It's fun.

This one is oooold. Like 30 years or so... (no, I don't mean the song; the backmasking theory).

I wouldn't care so much about Stairway, but you've got to remember that Jimmy Page (the guitarist of the band) had a mania in owning stuff related to Aleister Crowley (some british satanist/black magic guy from the 19:th century). As far as I rememeber the song In My Time Of Dying (that was published on Physical Graffiti) has the lenght of 11:05,something, at least winamp's MPEG file info box tells me the lenght is 666 seconds, wich I hardly can think of accidential... Especially as In My Time Of Dying is an old blues/gospel song that Led Zeppelin sang maybe to make joke of it. Check out the lyrics if you're interested, not exactly what you'd expect from a hard-rock band...
...But i like the song


BTW Maybe this should be moved to the music-forum?

Did you actually listen to the song backwards? It does not sound Satanic at all. OK, it does sound like "the one whose little path would make me sad" but that doesn't make any sense. Just accept the fact that Led Zeppelin lyrics don't make sense in either direction and continue enjoying.

Here's the parts extracted from a fairly low quality Mp3:
The parts are there, but without the text, I wouldn't recognize any of the words. Keep in mind that that human mind is very skilled at seeing/hearing things that arn't there (ever look at a cloud looking for something in particular?); that is, the human mind generally tries to fit things it observes into something understandable...

Odd, considering I found this out last week.

Zepplin's studio engineerer (forget his name now) used to do this all the time on songs. He could somehow take the lyrics and echo them off the guitars and other instruments.

My favorite part of that is the little toolshed part though.

I hear that Sabbath has a TON of backwards messages in their songs though, try searching for those.

True, but I bet there's even more backwards.

Also, Zepplin had the same studio engineerer as Pink Floyd. I've never tried it, but I bet there are some there too.

Deal.

When you play revolution No 9 by the Beatles (White Album), the words "Number 9, Number 9" it sounds like "turn me on Dead Man." IT's just a coincidence. Weird, but true. Also, if they hadn't had the words up on that chart thinger, I wouldn't have been able to find a lot of the meaning.
It's just a curiosity, folks. Nothing more.

I agree that probably some of this is people just interpretting random garbage into coherent monologue. However, I must say that I am much more likely to "interpret" things from listening to backwards-played music than I am to interpret something from, say, music in another language. But wouldn't that be essentially the same thing (at least when I don't know the other language?)

I wouldn't put anything past some of these bands, so why worry about it? Frankly, Britney Spears worries me more. I'd play HER music backward, if I had the stomach for it.

Heh. Didn't know about the rest of it, but I remember ~25 years ago a friend of mine having the vinyl, and by manually playing it backwards you can clearly hear "Here's to my sweet Satan" for the line "you can always change the road you're on".

@nybergh
Page even went as far as buying Crowley's old mansion.
Not sure if he still lives in it though...
