I played Stairway to Heaven backwards and heard a subliminal message

[secret friend]

Has anyone here ever done that?

It's very easy to reverse a song. I think the default windows sound recorder can do it :)

Look What You're Doing Henry! Your Killin' Everyone Around You!

[CptStern]

nonsense, it's a load of crap




MUSICIAN: By the way, I take it theres no thruth to the backwards-masking charges?

PLANT: (Looks annoyed) I find that it's sort of an American pastime. There is what they call the in America the College Circuit, where people can lecture on Clearasil, AIDS, homosexuality and the like and get paid $5,000 a night. Somebody decided that poor, defenseless band like Styx and E.L.O., who are indefensible anyway, and masters of No Comment like Led Zeppelin would be good, easy meat for a university tour. I think it just goes to show how sad the world is, that people actually allow themselves to become audiences to other people with nothing better to do. To me it's very sad, because "Stairway To Heaven" was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music. It's really sad. the first time I heard it was early in the morning when I was living at home, and I heard it on a news program. I was absolutely drained all day. I walked around, and I couldn't actually believe, I couldn't take people seriously who could come up with sketches like that. There are a lot of people who are making money there, and if that's the way they need to do it, then do it without my lyrics. I cherish them far too much.

I have heard this before. Me and my freind decided to test it so first we took the recording and reversed it ourselves. Then I recored myself singign it and played it backwards. It had the messages when i song it myself so.

Do you dress black cause it makes you "cool"?

[Skaadi]

Hmm, that was kinda creepy. but i think you only hear it if you want to hear it.

[VictimOfScience]

Yeah, there are some weirdo bands that actually plan this sort of this and engineer it into their music, but for the most part, this is almost exclusively crap. Put your time to better use....

[StardogChampion]

The Stairway To Heaven one does sound awesome backwards though.

[secret friend]

umm robert plant ...the guy who sings the song says it's bullshit ...that's good enough for me ..and yes knghenry, I've heard it

is the guy who sings that song also the sound engineer who put together that song?

henry shut up seriously ..why would the sound engineer risk his entire career, possibly face civil lawsuits just so he could insert a message about satan that could only be heard while listening backwards and ONLY if you used your imagination ...again I'll take Robert Plant's word over some freakin nut on the internet

good point

oh and btw is he really henry?

[CptStern]

I suspect everyone :O ...hmmm the name bryan sounds like Henry




(I'm getting really good at spotting him)

[99.vikram]

Why, was Henry banned? What for? :O No one ever tells me on these forums :frown:

[Raeven0]

Reversed music is generally crock. The only reason I would suspect intentional Satanic messages in Stairway To Heaven is that the song is already surreal and incoherent played forward.

[Geogaddi]

The song Backmask by Mindless Self Indulgence.

play that record backwards
here's a message yo for the suckas
play that record backwards
and go **** yourself

play that record backwards
it's a message from aaaaaawwwwww

mutha****a go kill yourself... mutha****a go kill yourself...
mutha****a go kill... yourself

hate and devour the young

[Backwards:]

eat your vegetables
put away your toys
don't sit too close to the TV
get dressed for church

kill yourself because you don't get what you want

[Erestheux]

Wow, I didn't hear jack shit other than a bunch of good music played backwards.

I just noticed the "show backwards lyrics" thing. Its amazing what suggestion can do to a bunch of garbled noise.


Just cuz The Beatles did it doesn't mean that everybody did it :P
