Ok, I don't know how old you are, but back in the late 80's (might have even been early 90's) Judas Priest went to court because two kids killed themselves while listening to their music. During the court hearing the defending attorney played one of their songs backwards fro the jury to see if they could hear a "hidden" message. Then he says, listen for these words, and sure enough you could hear them. He played the same clip and said, now listen for these words, and sure enough you could hear them. He played the same clip a few different times, picking random words that mean nothing at all and you could hear them all.

NOW, I ask you...had they not put those words on the screen for you to read, would you have any idea what you were listening to? Also, rock stars are not that smart, they don't know how to make in normal english and making them sound like a Satan loving loon when played in reverse.

BUT, keep in mind, all rock music is the devils music.

First off man, Zeppelin isnt a guy, it was the band name (these new smilies are fun lol)
Anyway, it makes sense: if u go down the stairway to heaven backwards, you'll end up in hell . There was an explanation that had to do with the house that Jimmy Page wrote the song at bein "haunted" by the people who had been burned in the chapel in the house's backyard. The chapel was also known as the toolshed

[Echo419]

Darken Sun, so your like saying he did do it on purpose? So i'm confused is it suppose to be good or evil backwards...

[coolcatpete]

Pete

how dare u go bash zeppelin, they r the most talented band ever to play. if it was on purpose u would have to b a genius to make a song that talks about going to heavin in foward, and about hell in reverse. respect led and stop bashin them. plus they had a thread on this a long time ago
Darken Sun- thats awesome, i never heard about that though

[Darken Sun]

ok i found the explanation thing
"Until approximately 1985, Page owned and lived in Crowley's former house, "Boleskine," a sprawling farmhouse on the shores of Loch Ness, sometimes called the "Toolhouse" Boleskine was originally purchased in 1900, by Crowley, for almost twice its value, because it met certain requirements of the Books of Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin the Mage. These requirements included windows and a door that opened to the north toward a secluded structure that was to serve as an oratory. It's commonly assumed that a small outbuilding to the far right was the oratory. 11

Crowley stated in his diary that "shadowy shapes" used to escape the oratory and enter the house. It's been reported that during subsequent rituals these "shadowy shapes" were unleashed with dire effects on visitors, staff, and a few hapless visitors from nearby Foyers.12

According to Davis, Jimmy Page was quoted in Roadrunner magazine discussing further cases of madness and mayhem including the story that Boleskine was once the site of "a church that burned to the ground with the congregation in it." 13 This brief, historical background gives tremendous insights into the profoundly significant metaphors contained in both the forward and reversed lyrics of "Stairway to Heaven." Sung forward, the song is basically a story of a woman who's searching for the meaning of life and the path to heaven. In the forward lyrics she sees signs on the wall but cautions that words can have more than one meaning. The bird that sings from the tree tells of thoughts that are misgiven. The thoughts carry images of "smoke" (perhaps fog) in the trees and the voices of those who stand apparently watching from among the trees. This is apparently the same group that is rewarded for their long-standing with the dawn of a new day and the forest's echo of laughter. There's great significance to the lyrics when they're viewed from the perspective of Reverse Speech. When we consider the complementary nature of the song, it appears to be partially a song of hope for all those who according to the legends once suffered at Boleskine.

The lyrics also seem to be a message from the unconscious mind that details its own communicative style. In the process of writing the song the way he did, Jimmy Page unknowingly established the complementary criteria for reversals to occur that speak of their own existence.

"Words have two meanings," and "thoughts are misgiven," appear at the start of the song. Note the complementarity with the last reversal on the song. As soon as the song is reversed, it says quite clearly, "Pl-a-a-a-a-a-y backward. Hear words sung." This is not an intentionally backmasked message, but rather a genuine speech reversal. It almost seems as though the unconscious mind is calling out and saying, "Hey, listen to me. I can communicate."

The lyrics also form a reversal that says: There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan. Jimmy Page may have unconsciously used the words tool shed to refer to the small outbuilding that was the oratory (Boleskine itself was the Toolhouse). The reported "shadowy figures" may be those who have stood for so long in the smoke, but are promised the dawning of a new day.

The last stanza declares not only that there are two paths that can be taken, but also that it is not too late to change roads. This last stanza contains the reversal It's my sweet Satan, the one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is fake.

Their are references to "path," "forest," and "hedgerow" all of which are descriptive of the setting of the Boleskine mansion. The word Satan itself may be a metaphor for the suffering and pain that occurred in and around Boleskine. The parallels of these images and the legends that surround Boleskine are compelling.

Other reversals that some people have quoted in this song as a basis for their claims, include: "There's no escaping it / I will sing 'cause I live with Satan / They gotta live for Satan." These reversals are so vague and imprecise, however (validity 1-2), that only the very bold would use them as the basis for an argument.

Finally, a reversal appears on a live version of the song sung in 1976, that says: Forgive me Lord, forgive me Lord, forgive me Lord. How could this be considered satanic? Who's asking for forgiveness and why? Since when does the nature of Satan, metaphoric or otherwise, include forgiveness? Is the song a stairway to heaven, a stairway to hell, or something totally different? Stephen Davis wrote a description that may be accurate regardless of how you choose to answer these questions. He said: "It expressed an ineffable yearning for spiritual transformation deep in the heart of the generation for which it was intended."

Darken Sun - That was one of the most informative post ever on AO that ive read... TY man... Sry if i offended any Zeppelin lovers

Zeppelin was tallented, i will give them that, but any true music enthusiast has to admit, that lynrd skynrd was the epitome of tallent. Free Bird is the song i am reffering to. 3 Guitars, all playing along, to make the best solo of all time (as voted by guitar player magazine)

Hearing it live is even more amazing. Ive herd people try to duplicate it, but they all seem to fail, you cannot duplicate greatness like that. The song is amazing, and if you do not agree, then you need to check your musical appreciation.
