There is some freshman in my photo class who refuses to listen to Led Zeppelin because of the "satanic messages in 'Stairway To Heaven'". Stupid children.

yeah they were NEVER satanic...Jimmy joked about it and played with the idea just to mess with people's heads...but they never really were.
i hate how celebrity gossip is all that some people can talk about. it bugs me...especially when it's not true.
ignorant children of today...gotta love em.

This is my whole take on the "satanic messages".
If someone tells you that you're going to hear something, (even if it's gibberish) your mind will look for it. For example, if someone says if you listen to this song backwards you'll hear people saying hello. When you hear the backwards song your mind will try to find that message, making whatever gibberish you're hearing sound like "hello". If you listened to Stairway to Heaven backwards, without the lyrics, you wouldn't be able to make out the words. It's all in the mind.

Pfft, thats pretty sad, considering the title has "heaven" in it....all I have to put is a quote from Robert: "If it worked, every record would have the backward message 'BUY THIS RECORD' in it!" Heh. I think Led Zeppelin knowingly put something to the effect of Satanic messages in that song, because kiddies say "Well, the song says "heaven" so it must be ok! heh." Thats exactly their reasoning behind doing it, if there is any truth to it. Rumor has it that Yoko Ono (sp?) has a subliminal message that says she is going to shoot john lennon, and in "Another One Bites the Dust", during te chorus it says something to the affect of "I like to smoke marijuana"... There is a website with all these on it, but I dont know the link. Although I'm not sure if the messages are indeed authentic, it is certanly feasible to do so. As for the words in "Stairway to Heaven" being all in your mind, thats not even remotely true. You can hear references to satan in more than 1 way in that song, very cleary. Subliminal messages are everywhere, to be honest with you. In magazine ads to music, it's hard to avoid it. Watch this: www.ebaumsworld.com/urbanlegends.htmlI think that's a good example, I'm not sure though.

"There are no hidden satanic messages in this recording. Any devil messages are in straight forward english." - liner notes to George Carlin's Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics album.

Well, one of my friends on another forum played the whole song backwards, and this is what he heard:
Plaaaay backwards, Hear why its sung here, oppositioner.. Allll on track, all arriving They all sing, and they are one. Shall I loathe you now, parishoner? Oh hear Him, Christian within me. It stirs my sin; the river, Oh, she swells with our lousiness. All my life will end for him? We're all out of signs, I know I'm sorta shocked To hear The Lord, My God now will save me! Oh I will n'er be saved, Because I live with Satan.. One wish today; That you'll all pray for Three who will make it here late. Pray now and you'll see.. The 'Lord' turned me on, But, oh, I was the shaggy fool.. Clothed in agony, Lost at a height. There's no escaping it, Nor his woes.. So here's to my Sweet Satan. The other's little path Would make me sad, Whose power is faith. He'll give those with him 666. And all the evil fools, they know he made us suffer sadly. Ohohohoh... "Family won't get loose, They're offered me." Always soothes the worker. Always will be as we know now "I see ruins," said he, "the world they offered me? Who wished the Lord's fall?" If we lose feather, Say you'll save me! And no wimps can bend the rules.. And no wimps can do.. Hunt next to the shore, 'Cause they see all from there, See here's the news, Who walks with mute grief! Perhaps no-one found thee... "Heavy, lift me out," Spake the Reve, "Someday, failed, we'll lose one line-up, They've gotta leave forsaken." And no wimps can do.. And no wimps can do... He, who say the lords Thoth have our laws, Maat must be superb. Mass is ended.. Over there, He who should learn thee. Any moot that serves by my sworn music, I wish it with snow be shushed, All for my mass's sake. Hear why its sung, here, oppositioner, Ohh.. He who should show May make his show worthy, To look, for us, odd.. sickly, There's one chance - take his show. Hold thy head, Hear why its sung here. oppositioner. Who owns this earth built below? Oh sweet Israel..
It could just be a coincidence, you know. I'm not saying that Led Zeppelin is Satanic, especially since they're one of my favorite bands. They DID have to right Stairway To Heaven in one day, so maybe they just decided to play a little trick. ;D

I think if you play stuff backward, you can hear just about anything you set your mind to hearing.
I don't think there was anything remotely satanic purposely put into the song anywhere myself.
Seeing those alternate "backward" lyrics actually printed out there though... rather creepy!

"Jesus loves you" said backwards sounds like "We smell sausage".

I think this whole backwards masking thing is a load of crap. If you want to hear satanic messages, your going to hear them. That's not to say that some bands don't intentionally put backward messages in their songs. Like in "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, the sucking noise during the corus of the song is the guys saying, "Fuck you Frank." (You can curse on this board right?) Because that guy did something to piss them off so they put that in the song.

Why would Led Zeppelin want to ruin a masterpiece like stairway to heaven by putting satanic messages in it. We all know how proud jimmy page was about that song. They all loved it. They wouldn't ruin it.
