Youve all heard some, you get that chill down your spine as soon as you find a secret message put into a song that you never knew to be there. I wanted to start a thread to discuss songs with cool backmasking and other secret messages and such. Led Zeppelins 'stairway to heaven' has to have the most famous backmasking. But another good song with great backmasking is Motorheads 'nightmare/the dreamtime'. Is there anyone else who has found songs with cool backmasking/hidden secrets and such?

Well I know of a couple Bathory songs that have secret messages in the lyrics. In their song "The Golden Walls of Heaven" the first letter of each line spells out "Satan" in every verse. Also in their song "Dies Irae" the first letter of each line spells out "Christ the Bastard Son of Heaven." That's about all I know.

Nile's instrumental track titled "Dusk Falls Upon The Temple Of The Serpent On The Mount Of Sunrise" stands as a metaphor to the end of egyptian civilization. This is all I know for now.

i've heard led zep's 'secret message' several times, and every time i thought it was bollocks. however, if you listen to it with the text of 'message' right in front of you, it actually makes sence. songs that contain backward messages are imo : The Beatles - Revolution 9, ELo - Fire on High, Pink Floyd - Empty Spaces. check out this link http://jeffmilner.com/backmasking.htm for some songs with backward messages. however, don't look at the lyrics during the first couple of listens.

there's also the notorious "start to smoke marijuana" line in "another one bites the dust" by queen. also the infamous "do it!!" in priest's "better by you, better than me" has allegedly caused 2 guys to commit suicide in some american town. it's not backmask, but it's in the chorus(i listened to the slower version which supposedly highlights the "do it", and it has something in background that sounds like "dooouuuuuu-eeeeeggh"(like a mid-tom beat, and then the "it" is explained by halford as both him breathing and the leslie organ effect of the guitar), but not a clear "do it") also, rob halford admitted that he put backmasked stuff in his early priest days, mostly nonsense like "i wanna be your sex god" or "arouse me bitch" shit like that.

Interesting Thread , well music is full of hidden message , either the composer wants it like that or the record label itself , not only in music but covers, imagine you name it . There's many reason for hidden messages but true is no much band can scapce it either because they want to or not , even in classical music there's hidden messages , you'll be surprise ..

The Stairway to Heaven message is probably one of the creepiest stuff I've ever experienced... how did the band comment on it?

Yeah, Stairway to Heaven backwards sounds damn creepy! I still cant andrstand how can someone do that.... To have words in both ways, wthout singing nosense like Aeurhgtajk jafjsaj j..... They must be crazy , I dont know.... And concerning that Priest's famous "Do it" , even if they did it on purposse, those boys didnt commited suicide becuose of that, than becaues they were idiots. Its like I go and buy icecream and say, "I did it because theres "Do it" in Judas Priest's song......." I mean, "Do it"?? Do what?

13.03.2007 - 20:57 Written by Stalker on 13.03.2007 at 16:18 I think one way they may figure out how to make backwards messaging (like led zeppelin) is to figure out the message first, record it, then turn it backward, and the backwards jibberish may resemble words so they record what they hear at that point. Get it?

13.03.2007 - 22:30 Written by Stalker on 13.03.2007 at 22:26 Oh yeah for sure, but look at Stairway To Heaven as a song as a whole, that was no filler track and the whole thing mustve been a long writing process, why would they get lazy with there fun little idea?

A lot of you aren't understanding what's described in this thread. Backmasking is when something is recorded and then put onto tape/disc/whatever in the reverse direction, sometimes slowed down. The start of Metallica's song Blackened does this but with guitars instead of a person's voice. One I was thinking of is Iron Maiden's Still Life, I read that someone - I think the drummer - recorded themselves saying something like "looking for hidden messages, huh? hahaha" and this was flipped and then put at the start of the song. About Stairway, I am also doubtful that the reversed clip is genuine. The forwards lyrics though, Robert Plant has admitted that they were written while he was fucked up on drugs (from Morocco if I recall correctly) and he now doesn't like the song.

System of a Down's song "Sugar" has some backmasked message at the end. If you listen to the song, Serj says "I've killed everyone" but if you listen to it backwards it actually says "You know we're friendly". And BTW, i've listened to "Stairway to Heaven" backwards and didn't hear shit. What is it supposed to be anyway?

The beginning ov Venom's "In League With Satan".......... I can't connect to what the message says as Metal-Archives is being a bitch, but that's a legitimate song to look at I think.

03.11.2007 - 11:49 Written by Damnated on 13.02.2007 at 18:13 I agree. Just go on youtube and search for Led Zepplin+Message, you will see find many attempts at interpeting the hidden messages, and almost 99% of the time, all the interpretations are considerably differrent from each other.
