Enjoy and try not to worship Satan too much after hearing it.

I think I heard the word satan. It gave me the creeps man.

I didn't listen to the other songs on there. But, it's weird how words come out when they're reversed.

[Malcolm]

[Slashly]

If you don't believe use Window audio recorder and sing the verse then play it backwards.  I tried it, it works.  Anyhow we all know Page's obsession with the occult so I basically think it was intentional, maybe as a joke or whatnot.

interesting, dont some queen song another one bites the dust i think say something bout smokin weed or something backwards?

[SLCPUNK]

Strange...when I played it backwards, I heard the MACARENA.  

[Chris Misfit]

You can hear what you want to.

This is possibly the stuipest thread yet!

Yeah those stuipest threads will really get you sometimes.  

[Chris Misfit]

I haven't slept in a day. Leave me alone!

[Dot]

The Zeppelin one is creepy and very very very clear....the other ones are just funny, I would like to hear some other reversed songs.

[Walk]

Creepy.

I once found a website that said Stairway to Heaven had many Christian elements in the lyrics. In reverse, it would make sense for it to be Satanic. Well hidden messages or not, that song is genious!  

[Mutherfunker]

I remember many many moons ago someone mentioned that if you play the beginning of patience backwards there's some weird phrase. It was the bit where Duff says 1,2,1,2,3,4. I think it said something like please help me or something like that?

Wouldn't it be 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 1 backwards?  haha i'm just kidding sorry late night humor  

[Danny Top Hat]

Is the Pink Floyd one genuine, or is the website called 'The Funny Farm', or something?  If real, then that is so cool - no question about that being coincidence!

[loretian]

I don't know which Pink Floyd one you're talking about, but there's at least a couple of intentionally placed backwards messages on them.

On Roger Water's Amused to Death (I think it was that album), there's a backwards message where he rips on Frank Lloyd Wright, who PF claims ripped off some of their music to use in one of his operas.

[Mal Brossard]

The Pink Floyd one is genuine.  I had read about it a few years back in a book that talks about whether backward messages really exist.

Another famous one is "Revolution 9" by the Beatles.  Allegedly, John Lennon's saying "Number Nine" repeatedly in the song comes out as "Turn me on dead man" when played backward.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Well I'm not afraid of Satan anymore as I listened too much to Diamond and Danzig, those guys are very creepy, anyway excellent song and now that I've heard it backwards is better yet, I hope people don't be scared of satan or whatever u call it, he's the coolest thing ever  , remeber that's why we sin  

[Lord Blackadder]

On one Pink Floyd song it apparently says 'congratulations, you have discovered the secret message' (that was done on purpose) and one Another One Bites The Dust by Queen it unintensionally says 'Smoke marijuana' or summat like that.

[Lord Blackadder]

Update: In this mag I'm reading it says in Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd, when played backwards you get 'congratulations, you have just discovered the secret message'. And in Baby One More Time by Britney it sounds like it says 'Sleep with me, I'm not too young'. And in Another One Bites The Dust by Queen it sounds like it says 'It's fun to smoke marijuana'. And in Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by Ac/Dc it sounds like it says 'Yeah, I'm the Nazi. Ooh, and I love it! Who the fuck are you?' Plus in I Am Tired by The Beatles it sounds like it says 'Paul is dead now. Miss him, miss him, miss him!' 

[ppbebe]

madam I am adam?? Damn!

[Jesse James]

did u know that at the ending of stairway to heaven, where Plant sings "and she's buyyyying a staiiirway to heaven" if u play it backwards it says "play backwards, hear words sang" ??

 

[Slashly]

Have you ever heard the "If there?s a bustle in your headgrow....."verse backwards??Do you think you can actually hear satanic messeges.I can swear I heard things like:"Oh, here?s my sweet Sata?n" and "He?ll give you 666".It was pretty scary!!




P.S:Here you can aso talk about other songs that if you play them backwards you hear satanc/funny/crazy stuff.

[Izzy]

No, no, no

It says

'if you can hear this you have way to much time on your hands'

and if u listen really, really closely u can hear a sinister voice say over and over again over-rated, over-rated, over-rated.....

[2NaFish]

"listen, if you sit around playing your records backwards, you need look no further. YOU ARE SATAN. And don't go ruining my stereo just to prove a fucking point"

haha
well, It was 4 pm in the morning and sudenly I remembered about somesaying that if you played it backwards you?d hear some satanic message, so I tried it and it really had.
So I did have a lot of time in my hands, and then I had a nightmare involving a cassete running after me and shouting:Ohhh myyy sweet satan!!with a creppy kind-of-old-lady voice.
Man, that was a bad night....

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Thats excellent Last night I had a bad dream King Diamond wanted me to become satanic I said Yes, Im a fucking JUDAS 

[Jim]

Haha, very funny.

But on another point away from shit jokes (which are common from you lot).

I've heard it in context with other thing and...Jesus (Maybe not the most apt word).

Seriously, this isn't the "Satan" or the "Kill" that could vaguely be made out if you played Judas Priest backwards at midnight with a monkey on your back.

Play the verse the above fool mentioned backwards and it is...Incredibly weird. Read a transcription is well.

The weirdest thing is that, if you're reading a transcription of what most people make out, it is very continuos. It isn't like the word 'Satan', then a mess, then the word ' death'.

You can get programs all over the shop with a transcription, and the verses forwards and then backwards in the song.

Google it.

But it's worth checking out, because it is genuinly...Spooky.

[Dave_Rose]

There is a website that plays the song backwards I cant remember but as soon as I'll get it I'll post it then we can settle this

4 pm in the morning?
dude what were you smoking. cides, plant is the farthest thing from anti-christ. its a conicidence that when u play music  backwards then it sounds odd. all music is like that

[Tied-Up]

 

PMRC also suggested that this song is satanic played correctly in the mid-80s

[Slashly]

Oh, btw, I?ve seen a lot of musicians (like steven tyler) talking how they give a shit about PMRC.Now, what the fuck is that?Is some sort of cencorship program??












Baby Slash//

[Tied-Up]

PMRC = Parents Music Resource Center.  It was headed by Tipper Gore and some other lame senator's wife in the mid 80s.  (note: this was before Al Gore became VP and ran for Prez). 

The PMRC's first goal was to get music censored that was "not suitable" for children.  They finally "settled" for labels putting "generic stickers" on the album that says "Parental Advisory, Explicit Lyrics". 

The problem with this is that several music outlets (such as Wal-Mart) won't sell stickered albums.  And since that is where a lot of people buy their music, they aren't able to buy these albums.  The alternative has been making "censored" albums with parts of the lyrics dubbed out.

In an interview, I believe Axl estimated that this cut their album sales by 50%.  I'm not sure it was cut that drastically, but it definitely had an impact. 

[nemo]

ha, i read a story about ozzy and sharon sharing a table at a charity dinner with tipper gore a while back, sharon said she was lovely, kinda ironic seeing as she wanted ozzy jailed for making kids commit suicide in the 80's

Now you?ll see what I?m talking about.....

[N.I.B]

still, it dosnt mean that zeppelin is anti-christ

[GitFuckedUp]

I have an interview where Slash says "Thanks Tipper... bitch." or something very similar. They talk more about the PMRC in there, but I don't remember what was said.

[Slashly]

still, it dosnt mean that zeppelin is anti-christ

When did I say that??I only said that it seemed to haven some satanic message, only that.I love Led Zeppelin, why would I say they are and anti-christ band?

[Genesis]

Weird man, totally weird

[norway]

stairway was creepy,

motley crue's booklet for "shout at the devil" has a warning for backward messages

anyone knows what is says?

Oh, judaspriest wen't to a trial of this accusiations

[Dr. Blutarsky]

When I was in High School (before the internet) I took a casette tape of Stairway To Heaven and cut out the  part we are talking about and taped it in backwards, I heard the same thing, sounds like he says  "my sweet satan". THey probrally figured out how to do this in the studio to create a mystique for the song,  and I`m sure they got a laugh or two watching the christian fundamentalists freak out about it.
