Ot it's possible that there are people out there who are just batscat crazy.but it's possible that there is a dark element to the song, and that those who are young are more in tune with that type of thing.
I'm scared. O.ONoodlesNoodlesNoodles said:I knew of a guy who literally smelled broccoli whenever he heard his girlfriend's name. No lie. What does that prove?

Stairway to Heaven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe band itself has for the most part ignored such claims; in response to the allegations, Swan Song Records issued the statement: "Our turntables only play in one directionforwards". Led Zeppelin audio engineer Eddie Kramer called the allegations "totally and utterly ridiculous. Why would they want to spend so much studio time doing something so dumb?"[48] Robert Plant expressed frustration with the accusations in a 1983 interview in Musician magazine: "To me it's very sad, because 'Stairway to Heaven' was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music."[49]
Backmasking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIn 1981, Christian DJ Michael Mills began stating on Christian radio programs that Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" contained hidden messages that were heard by the subconscious.[20] In early 1982, the Trinity Broadcasting Network's Paul Crouch hosted a show with self-described neuroscientist William Yarroll, who argued that rock stars were cooperating with the Church of Satan to place hidden subliminal messages on records.[21] Also in 1982, fundamentalist Christian pastor Gary Greenwald held public lectures on dangers of backmasking, along with at least one mass record-smashing.[22] During the same year, thirty North Carolina teenagers, led by their pastor, claimed that singers had been possessed by Satan, who used their voices to create backward messages, and held a record-burning at their church.[23]
Jimmy Page - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe appearance of four symbols on the jacket of Led Zeppelin's fourth album has been linked to Page's interest in the occult.[111] The four symbols represented each member of the band. Page's own so-called "Zoso" symbol originated in 'Ars Magica Arteficii' (1557) by J Cardan, an old alchemical grimoire, where it has been identified as a sigil consisting of zodiac signs. The sigil is reproduced in "Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils" by Fred Gettings.[112][113]
During tours and performances after the release of the fourth album, Page often had the "Zoso" symbol embroidered on his clothes, along with zodiac symbols. These were visible most notably on his "Dragon Suit", which included the signs for Capricorn, Scorpio and Cancer which are Page's Sun, Ascendant and Moon signs, respectively.
The artwork inside the album cover of Led Zeppelin IV is from a painting by William Holman Hunt, influenced by the traditional Rider/Waite Tarot card design for the card called "The Hermit".[111] Page transforms into this character during his fantasy sequence in Led Zeppelin's concert film The Song Remains the Same.
In the early 1970s Page owned an occult bookshop and publishing house, "The Equinox Booksellers and Publishers" in Kensington High Street, London, eventually closing it as the increasing success of Led Zeppelin resulted in his having insufficient time to devote to it. The company published a facsimile of English occultist's Aleister Crowley's 1904 edition of The Goetia.[114] Page has maintained a strong interest in Crowley for many years. In 1978, he explained:
I feel Aleister Crowley is a misunderstood genius of the 20th century. Because his whole thing was liberation of the person, of the entity, and that restrictions would foul you up, lead to frustration which leads to violence, crime, mental breakdown, depending on what sort of makeup you have underneath. The further this age we're in now gets into technology and alienation, a lot of the points he's made seem to manifest themselves all down the line.[115]Page was commissioned to write the soundtrack music for the film Lucifer Rising by another occultist and Crowley admirer, underground movie director Kenneth Anger. Page ultimately produced 23 minutes of music which Anger felt was insufficient because the film ran for 28 minutes and Anger wanted the film to have a full soundtrack. Anger claimed Page took three years to deliver the music, and the final product was only 23 minutes of droning. The director also slammed the guitarist in the press by calling him a "dabbler" in the occult and an addict, of "having an affair with the White Lady" and being too strung out on drugs to complete the project. Page countered that he had fulfilled all his obligations, even going so far as to lend Anger his own film editing equipment to help him finish the project.[116]
Although Page collected works by Crowley, he has never described himself as a Thelemite nor was he ever initiated into the O.T.O.. The Equinox Bookstore and Boleskine House were both sold off during the 1980s, as Page settled into family life and participated in charity work.
Well...just go back to that goodbye OP that I posted months ago and there's a section that gave the ability to come back.Welcome back, Im_A. I guess we're too hard to resist
You never fail to disappoint I'll tell you that much radhead. [shaking head]ImA, the band had absolutely nothing to do with it (at least consciously). But I can imagine Robert Plant singing these words: "I sing because I live with Satan." That was one of the lines, even though it was altered in the clip I posted. He made have had a fear of Jimmy Page's occultism, and so, may have associated Page with the dark forces, subconsciously.
The DJ or whoever made the discovery had nothing to do with it, other than finding it and reporting it.
I'll stick with the band answering the claim and leave it at that instead of playing anymore theoretical nonsensical games to make a point.
Personally, I like line 2; "there's still time to change the road you're on" COULD mean turn from the road leading to the way of the world and to the road leading to Christ.
...so there!

I can hear the lyrics now when I listen to the reverse version, without having to hear the words.
You can say that's because I read them, but that's the same with many songs played normally. You may not hear all the words until you know what they are first.
I'm not saying it confirms anything, though.
I watched a video of a Fallout Boy song with false "hear-alike" lyrics that went along with it. Now I can't hear the song without perceiving the false lyrics implanted by the video's creator, even though I also know how the song really goes.
It is very easy to trick the mind into perceiving what isn't there. This isn't satanic, its how the brain works.
I agree. But that has nothing to do with the claims. No one thinks the band had anything to do with it.
