Stair way to heaven

[Udanor]

Does anybody really belive that listening to "stair way to heaven" (Led Zeppelin) is bad in any way......? as long as you don't listen to it backwards?

I love music and take it for what it is

not just LedZep, there are even more songs which adds in to this category. I heard Hotel California also falls in to this bad songs list.

I always wondered why backwards lyrics made any difference at all. The only people hearing the messages are the ones looking for them. Some sort of audio garbling fallacy.

There has been nothing to ever prove that "backmasking" has any affect on the mind. The mind does not assimilate the information backwards. It became a big deal in the late sixties with the Beatles "Paul is dead" gimmick, which was designed to sell records later on. "Stairway to Heaven" is a great rock song.....a classic.

I think listening to metal, even older metal bands who delved into things of the 'devil' had as much impact to the listener as watching a scary movie. And they had the same intention, entertainment. I listen to all sorts of music, including bands that delve into the occult, satanism (Opeth), christian metal, (Killswitch Engage), and bands that talk about psychology, sacred geometry and aliens. (Tool). None of this makes me want to be a new age satanic christian. It's just music. Although with Tool it's a little more of an obsession, because I'm a musician, and Tool has unholy musical talent.
