lol The added lyrics are ridiculous.
“Yeah, I gotta deep-space the widget” is my favorite.
That was fun!

WHOA!!! A MAN CALLED BEELZEBUB!!!
HAHAHA!
That was awesome.
I’m impressed with the dude’s dedication to his craft.
I can only imagine how many hours he’s spent listening to these records backwards and trying to figure out what they say.
I’d really like to hear this guy’s reverse translation of the “Relapse” album. I have a feeling the lyrics will improve immeasurably.

Probably as long as it takes to look in the sky and say, “that cloud looks like buck tooth dragon standing on one foot”

“Get Up Get Out And Vote” turns into “You can’t change anything. Stay home and watch Honey Boo Boo.”

Money…
There’s a TKK song on there that sounded really good backwards. Weird.

“Voting is for Old People.”
I remember in the late 80’s I went to a seminar on backwards masking…the guy giving the lecture had his tape recorder and a projector that displayed images,a short,stubby older man who definitely had a religious axe to grind…he played all kinds of stuff from Ac/Dc,Priest,Queen,WASP,Zep,Krokus,Twisted Sister,Slayer and a bunch of more obscure metal bands of the time like Grim Reaper,Demon and Angel Witch…
Some of the stuff was just over the top ridiculous in how he interpreted them…he was pulling out all the stops trying to convince people to hear what he supposedly heard…there would be some indeterminate groan and he would say “See,see…he is saying Lucifer owns you!!”…it was laughable…
The only one that really was cool was when he played ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ by Queen backwards it sounded like Freddie was saying ‘Start to smoke marijuana’…it was a fun but ridiculous seminar…as a young metal head,I had a blast…
I love that story qb.
When I was in like 4th grade we had a family reunion back in Wisconsin or something. I wasn’t even into metal at the time, and my Uncle Jim asks me, “Do you listen to rock and roll?” I probably said yes or “I guess so, some of it” or something. Anyway, he went on this long ass lecture about Satanic heavy metal records and how there are demonic messages in them and demons are released when you play them backwards. There was even this involved backstory about how when the records are pressed they are then taken to a secret underground Satanic temple where Satanic priests pray over them and so forth.
It was wildly imaginative, awesome, and I must admit, kind of scary. Even as a stupid 10 year old who really didn’t know the scene or anything I remember thinking to myself, “Dang, that seems like a lot of work just to make a record. How do they even make money?”
The church I was going to at the time later gave some presentations on rock music and was actually a lot more rational about it. They were like, “Uhhh, yeah, this record is by Venom. It’s got an upside-down pentagram and goat head and an inverted cross on it and it’s called, ‘In League With Satan’, you probably don’t need to waste your time listening to it backwards to know what the record is about.”
All that hysteria of the 80’s really was kind of an intellectual awakening for a lot of us kids. It kind of showed us how easy it was to filter out people like Tipper Gore who were clueless and just filled with a bunch of hot gas.
Like when I got my folder confiscated in High School and the vice-principal said he was concerned I was into “White Power stuff”. I quickly told him that Dead Kennedys (I think he thought their logo was sort of like a Swastika or something, I don’t know) most famous song was “Nazi Punks F**k Off” and asked him how he thought that strategically promoted their ideals of white power . . .
If there’s one thing school administrators (or authority figures of any kind) despise more than anything it’s the 16 year old punks that are more intelligent than they are.
Idiots will be idiots. I doubt anyone would have the time or patience to write a song based on how it would sound when played backwards. Right wing extremists have been rambling about this stuff since the days of the White Album.
Sort of as a reaction to all of this-Pink Floyd recorded a message backwards at the beginning of Empty Spaces. For several years I thought it was just something cool to set the mood for the song, but it actually revealed a contest that the band was running at the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiveqbMsHwQ
Sounds like some of you need to [url “http://www.chick.com/catalog/comics/0110.asp”]do some reading.
i’m gonna start listening to black metal backwards and use my jesus powers on the children!
That was the big Satanic Panic of the late 80’s. There was so much there, it’s really hard to fully appreciate it if you weren’t there. People really were scared to death about Satanic cults and saw things everywhere. I highly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Selling-Satan-Evangelical-Warnke-Scandal/dp/0940895072/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1363817330&sr=8-4&keywords=warnke about one of the guys who got things rolling. He made a ton of outrageous claims about having been a reformed Satanic Priest. It’s a fascinating read.
Back around this time, our church youth group went to a big convention. We got to choose which sessions we wanted to attend, so of course my friend and I chose all the Satanism and New Age weirdo ones we could sign up for. There was a lady who saw New Age influence in everything and talked about making her kid take back a Nintendo game because it had the word Mantra in it. She thought the Smurfs were co-opting the children of the day because Gargamel and Azreal were other names for Satan - which i don’t think is even right.
But the real gem was the one on rock music. Picture a couple guys in front of about 50-60 teenagers ranting about satanic influence in rock music. According to them, almost all the major artsists are secretly satanists. They hide messages in their music and donate incredible sums to the satanic church. My favorite moment:
Lecturer: “Almost all the artists you see on the to 40 charts are secretly satanic”
Kid: “Even Van Halen?!?”
Lecturer: “ESPECIALLY Van Halen!!!”
I had a friend who was a hardcore Satanist and it always cracked me up that he made the same sort of claims about the satanic origins of stuff that the religious right did, but he thought it was all really cool. Pretty goofy, but still a nice guy.
