Hi, I'm a young 50 year old father of three (two sons one 5 and one 21, and a daughter of 31) from Romford, England. I have a lot of experience of life from both the good and bad sides, the good side when I was singing in bands almost every night and my life was one long party, and the bad side having to admit I'm an alcoholic and doing a hard rehab/detox programme (sober for 10 years now) then having a heart attack and a broken marriage to deal with. I am now in a good place in my own mind and want to help others as much as I am able to.

I have kind of an odd question. My friend told me that if you listen to Stairway to Heaven backwards, its satanic messages. I was skeptical and my parents told me it wasnt true. I had so many nightmares that night, thinking about what it sounded like, that when I woke up this morning, I turned on my computer and tried to find any and every piece of info I could about "backmasking" or listening to songs in reverse to hear satanic messages. I was really scared, but interested. It was all I thought about the WHOLE day, and Im not even kidding. Im afraid because I cant get the song Stairway to Heaven backwards which is "Oh My sweet Satan" and things like that out of my head! what do i do?! And also, is it REAL? Please somebody give me more information about backmasking. Ive looked up every google site on it. But, I want someone to give it to me in their own words. I will give everyone a 5 who has a good answer! (link)

The whole backmasking thing is rubbish. Since it was first claimed that bands put so called satanic messages backwards in their songs, some bands have put silly messages backwards in songs just to poke fun at the idiots that keep claiming that messages from the devil are hidden on records. It was shown up by Judas Priest when they were taken to court because one of their fans committed suicide, the family claimed that there was a backmasked message on one of Judas Priests records and this caused their son to kill himself. When the families lawyer played some of the tracks backwards (and after telling the people in the court what it was they were going to hear) some people said they could hear the message, but Rob Halford (Judas Priests singer) played some of the tracks backwards and found completely different 'hidden messages' (which were caused purely by chance) one of which was 'You ask for a peppermint and I've got one', the judge dismissed the case because it was all rubbish.
The main thing you have to ask yourself is this, if it was true and as effective as these people claim then don't you think that big corporations (like Coke and Pepsi) would be using it to sell more of their products?
Don't get freaked out by it, just forget about it.
