I'm a big Led Zeppelin fan, and as we all know I also put a lot of stock into my faith. To some this looks hypocritical, and a few friends have questioned how I can call myself christian and still listen to a band with [alleged] satanic ties. Well, the answer is simple:
Zep rocks baby!
Seriously, I don't buy the urban myths, and I don't care if Jimmy Page once dallied with the occult. That was thirty years ago, and folks mellow and change. For Pete's sake, thirty years ago I was in diapers and craving my mother's milk.
Sure, I never got over it, but most people do . . .
Which leads me to this site, which along with other songs plays Zep's Stairway to Heaven backwards to transcribe a famous diabolical message.

I still think it's bogus.
A) I've played it backwards and not heard a thing at home, so it might be a case of someone messing with the track for the site
B) really, what would be the point of putting any message out there that requires you to play a song backwards to hear it?
If that's the best form of communication the Dark Side can come up with, the good guys should have KO'd 'em a long time ago.
And just wait 'til you hear what Britney Spears has on her record . . .

Visitor Comments: Haha, I've heard the backwards Stairway To Heaven theory several times. I don't know if it's true or not, but it always gives me chills. It seems like a pretty attractive way for any band to hide messages... they know they're there, but nobody else does, or at least a very select few.
But Britney's is the best.
