Satanic Verses
Lately in the News was this big issue about Salman Rushidie being Knighted by the Queen of England and this was met with strong protests from certain Islamic quarters from Pakistan and they are pushing for Osama Bin Laden to be Knighted as well! The big hoohah was related to a book written by Rushidie titled “Satanic Verses” back in the late 70’s or early 80’s which offended the Muslims worldwide.
Talking about satanic verses, I remembered back in the mid-80’s there was this ‘discovery’ that certain Metallic Music and some Pops were found to contain satanic messages too! You can only hear them when these songs were played backwards! You can’t do it at home on your audio equipment but need specialized equipment to do that. Basically satanists used to speak backwards! For example :-
“dog si eh natas”
Got it? Reverse the letters and it reads ‘satan he is god’! I personally had heard this from the reversed tape of a pop song but I cannot remember which one now. The other pop song which was so hot then and even today it is being played over the radio is ‘Hotel California’ by the group Eagles! If not for the satanic messages within the song, it would be such a beautiful song with great music! Well listen to it (of course not backwards) and pay attention to the lyrics! What were they singing about? Other songs include the all time best was ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and a Metallic Group called ‘KISS” which stands for ‘knights in satan’s service’. Perhaps another time another post I will share more details. So be careful what you are listening to!
I wonder what is the point of inserting backward sentences into a song lyric. It is hard to believe that it has any effect at all. Sometimes, it song is just a song, it is up to the listeners to interpret its meaning. But then again, most of the problems in this world begin with human interpretation.
yeah, now that you mentioned it, i remeber i heard about it too. It was kinda scary for me that time for some unknown reason.
That’s why I listen to Frank Sinatra
…I fixed your link (sorry) See you later!

back masking – it was very interesting listening to a recorded sermon (US i think) abt this subject and the songs they played (as listed by u and plus Beatles) backwards to demo. But Christian songs also contains Christian messages. I could not remember which particular song was made an example.
