So I'm not too sure where to post this....but I'll give it a shot!
I'm sure everyone's at least heard about this phenomenon.
It freaks me out sometimes!
But sometimes I wonder if it's just our wild imaginations!

Here are a few of the ones I found:

Tatu. freakkyyy

I'm interested if anyone knows of any others??

Here's a Nirvana song backwards "All Apologies" beboframe.com

Nirvana - Lame, most of the lyrics don't sound anything like what they said it did.

Tatu - Hmm.. maybe.

Stairway To Heaven - Heard that before, most famous, pretty decent.

Poke' Rap - HAH. No.

Pokemon - It was ment as a joke. Read the video description.

Britney Spears - Lame. Jibberish.

hahahaha No one can understand Nirvana when they sang normally....kidding.

the pokemon one was still kinda funny.....the whole "meeeeeeat" thing.

Britney Spears one I had to listen to alot and finally I got what they were pointing out.

I don't think its exactly purposely done now.

pokemon was really funny!
stairway to heaven still sounds very beautiful

I wonder who listened to these songs backwards to find teh hidden message. And then write it down. It must have taken a really long time

here a list:
if u play a certain slipknot song backwards you can hear "I love myself"
linkin park-numb "I want it all beneathe me"
eminem-lose yourself "Yall are horses"
Queen-Another one bites the dust "its fun to smoke marijuana"
d12-my band "Buy my next album"

Weird Al intentionally stuck backwards words into his songs to make fun of this - he actually reversed recordings and put them in at low volume in the middle of the songs. In the middle of "Nature Trail to Hell" he inserted "Satan eats cheese whiz!" and at the end of "I Remember Larry" he inserted "you sure have a lot of time on your hands don't you?"

"The Ghost Of You" by My Chemical Romance, the song is about the fear of losing someone, but reversed it's about killing someone. Here's The Music Video and here's the song backwards

And another song, "Cemetery Drive" has been stripped and you can hear voices in the backround saying:

Bathroom floor.
So far.
Hard.
Don't do it. (16x)
Are you there at all?
Do you care at all?
Are you there at all?
Want me for?
So far.
Hard.
Way Down.

all i have to say about this is,same$hit,different year!!!!

Agreed, Judas Priest were supposed to be doing this 20 odd years ago.

I love MCR!
but I never knew about this!

Back in 'tha day', this has been about ohh 10 years ago-- my friend, after much Jack Daniels, swore that in several Motley Crue songs he heard 'things'. One of the things he heard in 'Piece of your Action' was in the middle Vince says "Carolina, I'll F*** Cowgirl." This is signifigant because in certain circles I used to be known as Cowgirl... after listening to the song about 20 times, I'm willing to believe I heard something to that affect only because I was told it was there. Well 5 years later I got to meet Vince Neil... In North Carolina. *Ahem*

Nikki Sixx has openly admitted in an interview there are backwards messages in Shout at the Devil, You're all I need, and several others. But this.. isnt phenomen it's a way to sell records and there are some 'subliminal' messages if you drink enough. I alos believe that if you believe in something enough it'll happen..

I don't know many in music, but I remember, at the end of the Grim Adventures closing credits, you can hear a strange voice. Reverse it, and it says something along the lines of



...or something like that. Here's a link.

people hear what they want to hear, if your looking for devil refrances you'll find it, because thats what your looking for, If you wern't you wouldnt even notice it, i'm sick of people saying rock/metal music is all "devil music", dont like it dont't listen to it and leave people who do listen to it alone

'Reverse speech' also occurs in everday speech. 'They' (i'm far to lazy to have a look around online) say that one can, if they record and reverse the speech, can find the truth behind what the speaker was actually saying. Or at least what subconciously they were thinking at the time. I'm dubious, as others pointed out it could well be that you find whatever you're looking for.
I wonder if it's just the english language or does it also occur in others? Like I said, I'm just too lazy to find out.

I remember a real goofy one that I heard about.

Remember the old American television show " Mr. Ed " ? It was about a talking horse.
Well anyway. The song went : " A horse is a horse of course, of course......"

And if you played that part backwards it said " The sourse is Satan "

I know it's totally far fetched. But that was one that made a list somewhere.

most music is devil music, comes from the vain cries of the devil in man. The devil becomes an archetype of being without God, or chosing self over God. Or in reiteration chosing to be without God.

Thereby, many musicians, in their... theirness... are singing the songs of the devil--because it is the pains of his spirits that are outputed.

Songs are like snapshots of the artist's conditions. These condions are meant to be momentary, as the moment itself is sure to empy it's belly and be refilled with newness.

So what. music. becomes altars to moments, that within God, were granted death, and they should.
Both Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash invade my mind with their beatiful song 'hurt'-- working like prayers over and over again-- holding my focus and attention-- and they do not deserve to be held in image like that - yep the work of the devil. Even that song.. if you look at the lyrics, they become abstact clothes for the meaning im trying to suggest you you guys. dont. take. 2 serious tho. what can we do.

Back in the day, if they song, they song songs of praise to God. How new is our music culture?

I don't think there is any hiding meaning. Only us picking out things that could be words.
Like Another one bites the dust. Played backwards says "It's fun to smoke marijuana"? But why? Why would they be saying things that everyone already knows?

Yeah, the one that most comes to mind is when you play Alice in Wonderland to a Pink Floyd song played backwards....I think it is Another brick in the Wall but that could be wrong....

The other week I saw a youtube video were it plays you "Mastermind" by Mindless Self Indulgence backwards.

I can't remember exactly what the "hidden message" was but I know one part said something like "You're an obsessed mother****er."

It's all a load of bull, really. All of those were gibberish, I didn't understand a word of it even with subtitles. I wonder how half of those words were derived from something along the lines of, "lfnbb arlejuso ifufu fufdsal fjl." .__.

If you want a hidden meaning, you'll find it.


There just has to be a conspiracy of some type in everything, these days.

Those are all really funny. Especially the Eminem one.

I'd say most of these could be explained by drugs and bored producers, back masking is an extremely common production technique when recording and mixing (eg The Beatles 'Tomorrow Never Knows')

i think that when you listen to a song backwards it sounds like nothing, but add words someone tells you to hear and you hear it. if you look for it you will find it..u know?

I agree with you but could not figure out how to word it, thanks.

Just because you're play rock OR METAL music don't mean YOU'RE NOT CHRISTIAN, CHECK OUT THE BANDS "RED", "FIREFLIGHT", "UNDEROATH", THEM 3 BANDS ARE CHRISTIAN METAL/ROCK. I KNOW FOR A FACT.


AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO ONLY GIVE PRAISE TO GOD TO BE A CHRISTIAN BAND, YOU CAN SING ABOUT HEALING OR GETTING STRONGER, GETTING OVER THE "HUMP", ETC.

Yea try this one..

To weird for me. But I have listened to a couple. Don't think
I'll be at any time playing songs backwards looking for hidden
messages. I'll leave that for someone else to do.

I love saying "Cuff" and into sound recorder and getting my little sisters to reverse it, and they get tole off by Mum! Hehe, but I'm not so bad I get them out of trouble.

LMFAO

Smooth ^
