Satanic Messages

zoey7879 is right, it's just Urban Legend. This has been debated and re-debated for years. There are no intentionally hidden messages, especially satanic messages since there is not Satan. I have been hearing about this for over forty years now.. I still can't believe in this day and age people buy into it. Here is some info on the subject. http://snopes.com/music/hidden/hidden.asp Brightest blessings, Mari

LOL.... The stuff of urban legend... Half truth.. and.. equal lie at the same time. In the novel, "Painted Black", there are several chapters on this very topic. ... but only a few of them have been accused of putting Satanic messages specifically. Some things come out phoenetically sounding a particular way, others are intentional. Styx and Ozzy Osborne were some of the others accused of having done such... Although not Satanic, my personal favorite has to be the one from Led Zeppelin.. the Zoso album I believe. Give that one a whirl ;)

Are those ridiculous stories still going around? They're more than twenty years old by now. They weren't true when they got started, and they aren't true now. There's no such thing as satanic messsages except for gullible idiots who'll believe just about anything they're told. If there's anything at all that sounds like a satanic message, it's due to coincidence of the way things sound, and a lot of overactive imagination. The basic question is why would anybody bother to insert messages that are only audible if you play the song backwards. Nobody ever thought of playing songs backwards until some jerk thought up the whole idea. I'm sure whoever did it has had plenty of laughs over the years.

I've never heard any satanic messages in these songs, but maybe I need to clean the wax out of my ears. Seriously, with the exception of some uber hard-core Satanic bands, I don't think that anyone goes into songwriting mode with the intention of penning something that's in any way extolling Satan or sinning. A lot of what's heard, if heard at all, came about by accident. Happy MyLotting!

i wonder how do you listen to music backwards. never heard never tried. you hear what you want to hear and you think what you want to think. good and evil always exists within us only. it is for us to decide whom do we let to dominate.

It is hard enough to write and record decent music _forwards_. Frankly, if I were Satans Little Helper I'd be using the twee looking popular acts rather than scarey rock music. I suspect that is the idea behind Pop Idol!

Yeeaa..I've heard about this thing long long time ago, when cassettes rule. Never try it, as I also have no clue how to play it backwards. I never thought that this topic will appear again since CD was released. Happy mylotting :)

Yes, its true. When I've read an article about that, I was really shocked and I wanted to try if its really true. Yes, I know its true but then I don't have enough courage to listen because I know that I'll be hearing something that I don't wanna hear and I would not be able to sleep because it will always play in my mind from time to time. When I've also learned about that, I became conscious on what song to choose. I have a lot of favorite song and sometimes when I listen to my songs, I ask, "What's the message of this song? Is it satanic?" and because of having too many favorite songs, I don't want to check all of it by playing it backwards but I don't want to listen to satanic songs so sometimes, I prefer not to play my songs. HUHUHU!

you know I've always heard things about those songs but never tried it out. how would one go about playing a song backwards? does it have to be on wax in order to do it?
