Anyone ever heard stairway to heaven by led backwards? My friend gave me this URL starting from the line ' If there's a bustle...' and it has some sort of satanic message in it.

I thought of trying to play it backwards on my computer but i dont have a mic to record it into the recorder.

I love that song. Dont know if its true.

Any song played backwards sounds like this!

The more you slow it down the deeper the voice....

There might be some artists who put backwards messages in their music, but I think that more often it's just that someone spread a rumor, and once it got started, that's what you hear. We had a discussion about it on another site's forum, about how your brain will make sense of random noise if it is given a reference.

If I listen to my dad and uncle, I'll never get the lyrics to CCR's songs:
"Have you ever seen Lorraine?"
"There is a bathroom on the right!"
That's all I can think of right now.

Yes, it's true. All of us who actually remember vinyl LP's (they're those big black disks that had a spiral groove on each side that your Mom and Dad used to listen to.) and phonographs know this. Here's the fact: it's not a demonic magic trick, just some jackass technician who decided to put a stupid message on the reverse track of the record. It was done first by the Beatles, then by many other artists or practical jokers. Nowadays we have hidden tracks on cd's.

You want to hear it? Get a vinyl copy of Zeppelin 4, play it on a phonograph (record player) and force the record to play backward. No big deal.

I listened to the song backwards by clicking on the site you posted...It just sounds like the song playing backwards...I dont here any message in it.

Even if there was a message what exactly makes it satanic...just wondering...I guess what Im asking is what is the message saying?...Thanks

Spidy,
Just click on th lyric link and the message is posted for you to read along with the track.

I heard if you watch the movie MARY POPPINS in reverse, SATAN himself will reach out of your T.V screen to shake your hand...heheheheheheh LOL

Ok...thanks...I did read the reverse lyrics while the song was playing and I would still say its nothing...It might sound like he is saying some of the words but it doesn't really sound like the words...I think its strethcing it to say its a message of any kind...let alone satanic.

I think its pretty cool backwards but i dont think it means much really! if you go to google and type in stairwaytoheavenbackwards itll show a few song including stairway to heaven. :giggly:

can't make it out backwards, sounds like words backwards and if you spend to much time listening to this I think that you will start to hear anything you want to hear.............
