What's your opinion on "Stairway to Heaven's" (so-called) Satanic lyrics?

It's just someone's imagination working overtime. If I recall correctly, Stairway was based on a hymn.

I remember checking it out myself when I was young and heard exactly what was in the OP video. Got no explanation or opinion really, but it does say shit when played backwards.
But really, do we need to play it backward whenever the lyrics played forwards are very rich in occult symbolism as well as the album artwork.

Honestly if any band was/is in league with Satan it's got to be the rolling stones, I mean didn't Kieth Richards die in like '68 or something, or at least he sure looks like it.

You're thinking of Brian Jones, though he'd been kicked out of the Stones by the time he drowned...or was it murder ?

No, I was thinking of Keith, I mean the guy has looked like the living dead for decades.

I was gonna post that bill hicks bit but you beat me to it. He definitely hit the nail on the head about playing records backwards tho

Yep that is how it works:
You can make a pact with the Devil that allows you to live forever,
but if you read the fine print of the immortality clause*,
you'll see that it makes no guarantee about the aging process.
So Keith will be around for centuries to come, but looking even worse than he does now.

On the plus side, it meant I never got possessed by Satan either

I believe my symphonic (amazed to find a pic of the same player).. Anyways, We reversed the polarity on the motor. so it would play the record perfectly at 33.5rpm .. the armature had a stop, and we broke that because the needle wouldnt go over that far. but it did..


Dont the fancy phones have an App to play the recording backwards, YET?..

even if its real, the reverse lyrics are pretty terrible -.-

Stairway to heaven is a song about hope. Hope that we can one day build a better world.
