While we're on the subject...

Paul is Dead? Beatles song clues

Cant confirm these but the rumours are everywhere.
Undead
Wow those lyics are brilliant. It's even better backwards. Is it the whole song or just that bit.
Naveed
I'm sorry, but that crap is edited and not real. For it to be what they are saying backwords it has to corresponded with how the original lyrics read like backwords and it doesn't. Of course if you want real backwords messages, go listen to Cradle of Filth...hehe devil.gif rolleyes.gif
Naveed
Another thing...who in their right mind is so bored that they'll sit their and say "Oh I'm gonna play songs backwords and find Satanic messages, or make them if there are none."
Gazz
Thats kinda freaky! whistling2.gif

The only backwards song I ever tried
to listen to on my own was a song by
the Rock Group Queen and the song was

Another One Bites The Dust

Maybe you know this tune.

If you can play this one backwards
just after you hear "another one bites
the dust"

backwards it says very clearly "Its fun
to smoke marijuana"

In am not kidding here... Some people
say Queen meant for the song to have
this hidden backward message.. but they
denied it... still its kinda strange,
funny and freakey! huh.gif wacko.gif tongue.gif

its not easy for me to answer, being as i was not alive at that time, but i think my mother telling me that cranky old fellows thought that the new 'sexual revolution' 'rebelious teenagers' and the 'protest music' movements were evil (which some of it may well have been) and then that the popular music of the times was spreading these ideas to easily influenced minds, and lets face it, what minds are more easily influenced than teens? so, the cranky old fellows began trying all sorts of different ways to root out these evil messages, like playing the records backwards, halted, and what not. they found, of course, nothing, but it bacame a fad with the teens to play the records backwards, and of course you would hear something if you were stoned, drink, and expecting it.
PsychicPenguin
Well, if you don't read the backward lyrics you won't be able to tell what the sords are. If you backward play an entire album and listen for the word "satan" then chance is pretty big that you're gona find it there, even in a Christian music album.
zygon
ok, so i flipped the little 24 second clip
its really hard to make anything out, but you can hear what sounds like satan, and a few other words, but i can only really make out 'satan' and 'little' but as Mr. Penguin has said, you could easily find words if you looked through tracks backwards.
so...yeah

Edit my mate suggested slowing it down, so i did, and can now make out 'six six six' but the program im using slows it down too much. if anyone has a program that can slow it down gradually that could get the clip in reverse (if you cant get that ask me and i'll send it to you) and then slow it down so its not too slow, nor too fast and see if they can hear anything more.

PM me if you can. i'd like to see if any other words can be made out.

The reverse speech on Cradle of Filth is just gibberish
Kismit
I had a friend was the drummer in a band .In one of the songs they recorded they attempted to get the words 'I am Satan, I am your master ' when replayed backwards , unfortunately when they did play it backward it sounded much more like 'The landlord is knocking at the green door ' . Quite the let down it was rolleyes.gif

Cudos to any band that can actually get the backward play thing working .
stillcrazy
Not to start a really bad time for anyone, but a lot of music when played backwords can have what sounds like satanic, angelic or other words "imbedded".

The average human will only here gibberish until a phrase or word that they know "pops" out at them. Then when played over and over your mind says "Yup you heard it right."

Plus, words are only sounds. When played at different speeds and directions they can seem to make other words. There are only about a hundred or so 'sounds' in the english language. Sounds added together make the words, words + words make a sentence etc. The probability of a combination of words (Sounds) played backwords making other words is in reality very high. (Common) I feel that those who look for this stuff, other than for fun, are trying to justify a dislike for a particular bands music or style.

There's an old thread (which I started, I might add) about reverse speech with some links that are quite "entertaining".

Cradle Of Filth - Dinner At Deviant's Palace

[Backwards]

Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.


I listen to it all the time, and if you play it the right way it says the above
ScreaminEagle
That Stairway to Heaven thing is pretty crazy. I hope that wasn't the real backmasking. Kinda made me sick.
PsychicPenguin
The funny yhing is that several websites featuring this song has different lyrics for backmasking. They have only common words, like Satan and 666. Oh.. btw I found the backward song is pretty good thumbsup.gif
Agent_21
There was this record by Napoleon XIV which was, unbelievably, a hit in the UK. The 'B' side was the same 'song' in reverse. He was responsible for other gems like 'I live in a Split Level Head', and 'Where the Nuts Hunt the Squirrels.' His whole act was about madness. Alright if you like that sort of thing, but I wasn't crazy about it.

If you play "The cheeky song" by the cheeky girls backwards, they sing "Hail satan, our dark lord. We are the corruptors and rapists of all things decent. Satan is lord, satan is our king."
This may or may not be true, but it undoubtedly sounds better...
PrettyAndCorrupt
If you sing twinkle twinkle little star in reverse..
the line that says "how I wonder what you are" sounds like "I wish there were no Allah."
Ive done this..and it really sounds like I wish there were no Allah. pretty cool.
ambyglam
isnt it funny tho that the music sounds the same!

Creepy but I'm not going to think about it, I don't believe in the devil or hell for that matter, but to me it could be a joke that the webmaster put up. Or it could be real.
PsychicPenguin
It is not a joke. Backward messages are real. Some of them are intentional, but most of them are pure coincidence. If you listen hard enough you can hear anything that you want. I think Stairway to Heaven is a backward message of the 2nd type (coincidence), and you can make "LORD hear to Thy creation" instead of "Oh, here's to my sweet Satan." For the intentional ones, I think they are just pranks created by the artists to have fun with the christian fundamentalists.
Joe013
I did it on a program I have on my compouter...its called wave studio or summat. its cool. but you can really hear it! its aweomse. although im not entirely sure its not just our minds pikcing out the words we wanna hear...ya know? whistling2.gif

That's no more evil than "Louie Louie"! laugh.gif
Frenziedsoul
hey... I only actually joined tis forum so I could reply to this... does anyone hear listen to KoRn? If you play their song shhots and ladders backward, he says "This is madness"... which is cool, because everytime I listen to that song, at that exact part, I think "Man what a crazy song!"

Also, I heard a rumor that if you play the start of one of their hidden tracks (on Life is Peachy, to be exact), forwards the convo between him and the recording guy is this:
JD:Are ya ready, middle guy?
Record guy: Use the force luke!
JD: I'ma use the force, okay, go.

But backwards he says "Go buy yourself a demon"

Does anyone know any other 'newer' bands who have these messages?

Actually I have the song on cd. I took it and reversed in the audacity music editor. It came out as it was on the website although not as clean. Backwards masking is what I think it is. Studios use it to implant messages on a CD that can only be heard when played backwards. Nothing to do with the real words he said, so it doesn't have to correspond.

Playing stairway backwards right now, and sounds nothing like that clip. Don't you love hoaxes and rumor spreading! tongue.gif

Are you sure? It worked for me. Is your version the "bootlegged" version?

It worked for me just fine too... and if you record yourself singing twinkle twinkle little star and play it backwords, "I wish there were no Allah" is super clear... Concidence?? I dunno, but just the other day, I was wondering tomyself ( I know this is rather strange and random) who wrote the dang song in the first place and why something so silly became a nursury rhyme. Eh.
Deimos
they probably just put that on there to contradict the song title. I mean, it's stairway to heaven, and when played backwads it talks about hell, they probably meant to do that just to make the reverse of it about going to hell. pretty lame and exaggerated if you ask me.
Bizeebutt
I was just messing around on my computor, and recorded myself singing silent night. Don't know why, just randomly picked it. THE REVERSE FOR "SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE" IS EXACTLY THE SAME WORDS>>> this is a lil freaky, I have to admit, it made my skin crawl.
neo cloud 8900
thats kind of wierd.
Looter
"Paul is dead miss him miss him"
Play Piggies off White Album backwards, right at the start (end) it says very clearly, in a mock indian accent. Forward its a bunch of noise.
neo cloud 8900
thats creepy too! has anyone ever played the electric light orchestra backwards? thats creepy shizznite
Looter
Once you've heard that, this stairway to heaven stuff sounds like noise.
Bizeebutt
I no longer have any ELO records laying around, and have no means of downloading their music... what does their message say??

PokeRap... Oh my... On the new site it plays pokerap backwords... Coincidence in the sounds? blink.gif

Why would their be a christain message when played backwards? Don't you think that's kinda weird for them?

All i can say is those lyrics to "Stairway" backwards are creepy as hell, and too much to be a coincidence. Kind of like an eerie little poem.... blink.gif
