have you ever heard of backmasking?
recently, i was interested in song being backmasked.
Was backmasking a new technology or was it juz too coincidental?
Well, it began with Judas Priest, a brute metal band, was charged in an infamous court case over a child who attempted to commit suicide over the sublimal message in one of their songs, Beyond the Realms of Death.
It afterall happened when the child apparently heard the song backwards. "He heard a satanic message within it," as sources had quoted.
But, how did the child heard it backwards since the song came out only in the early 1980s?
Could it be gramaphone?Perhaps.
Anyway, Eagles being a satanic band has been an on-off topic discussion among discussions throughout the world. Many firmly believed that some of Eagle's song carries a strong satanic message.
Take the infamous "satanic" song for example, Hotel California.
Look closely at the lyrics;
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave
Does it ring a bell to you?
According to sources, the song was'nt meant to describe a hotel or whatever it is about.
The term "California" actually refered to a street in Los Angeles where the first satanic church was built around in the 1960s.
Amazingly, when some parts of the song was played backwards, it carries a satanic message.
I've done a small research on my own and to my amazement even Eminem songs has being backmasked.
Even Twinkle Twinkle Star has a racist message when played backwards.
What nonsense.
