YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

It all started when I was listening to Stairway to Heaven(If you don't know that song you don't belong in this thread) and my Dad says that if you play the song backwards you uncover a message about satan. So being a typical curious teenager I look it up and find some info in Wikipedia. Aparently if you reverse the part of the song "If there's a bustle in your hedge row" you hear the message "This is to my sweet Satan!". I return to Yahoo search results and find different variations of this rumor along with other examples.

The Search

Wikipedia

I learn that Judas Priest was sued because of a backmasking, actually the correct word is backwards or reverse messaging. The backmasking was the words "Do it" over and over again that the prossicuters (sp?) reffering to the letters S-U-I on the sleeve artwork.

Then I find several pages written by Christians about these legends taking both sides in the arguments. The first ideas about rockstars working for the devil begin to surface.

Backmasking on records: Real, or hoax?

I start to get nervous and find this essay.

Essay

I'm a rocker, I play the electric guitar, I love my bands from the rock and roll days, I'm taking a course next year called Rock School. So I'm sort of freaking out thinking about this. Then I find this page. It just makes me quiver when I see the words. I don't go to sleep till' late that night cause of the thoughts stirring in my head.

Warning: long read but essential to conversation.

Hell's Bells -The Dangers of Rock and Roll. (Part IV)
(the page)

I thought about it the next day and thought that maybe Christians are just a little to controlling with their people and have a grudge against rock and roll. Then took their case to far but I would like to hear your opinions on it.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,
