        There's supposed to be some backwards messages in one or more
        of Stxy's songs, but I don't recall the name(s).
    
        And who can forget 'The Mr. Ed Theme'!!  Someone (probably
        Tipper Gore, when she was playing her daughter's records
        and plugged the player in backwards) realized that this song
        mentioned 'the devil' and made quite a fuss about it within
        the last year and a half.  Who'd'a thought, huh?
    
        Usually, I think people just wanna put HM down even more
        than they already have (which is DAMN near impossible) and
        they play records backwards and use their imagination and
        tell the world what they perceive the words to be.  This is
        a big crock of bull-puckey.  They just think they're hear-
        ing Satanic messages when all they're hearing is incoherent
        drivel (such as the likes of most of the content of MUSIC).
    
        But let 'em keep kicking us ... 'cause eventually they'll
        realize that there's NOTHING they can do to keep us from
        listening to our music.

    They can say what they want about the intelligence of headbangers.
    At least we know which direction to play our records and tapes.
    In my opinion, the people who play these songs backwards
    looking for hidden Satanic messages are the demented ones in the
    first place.  They probably watch videos in reverse to see if there
    are any hidden sex scenes 8^b!!!!!  You can always imagine
    some message if you are trying real hard to find one.  How does
    someone get a nickname like "Tipper" anyway?  Too many wine coolers?

    Funny someone should bring this up.  When I was in college, my roomate
    actually taped one of those radio preachers flaming about satanic
    backwards messages.  His *BIG* example was a section of Stairway
    to Heaven.  The guy was so obviously biased that it was sickening.
    
    What my friend did was get a whole bunch of people from the dorm
    together in our room to listen to this.  There were over 30 guys in
    there (really crowded).  He played just the excerpt from the song
    backwards, about 3-4 times,  and asked everyone to listen carefully and
    write down what they heard.
    
    Every SINGLE person in there heard something different!  And not one of
    them was even CLOSE to what this guy on the radio was claiming it said.
    AND, NONE of them thought it said anything about Satan or anything else
    evil or nasty at all! 
    
    What the radio preacher was doing was telling you what to listen for,
    then playing the clip.  Naturally, having that setup, you'd hear it,
    but without the extra 'help' you'd never get what he thought. 
    
    After everyone said what they thought they heard, we played the
    clip, with the lead-in.  At this point, most of them said something
    like, 'Yeah, I *guess* you might hear that, but I still thought it
    said Mmmble mmble, like I said before'.  He also played it for a
    couple of people, complete with the leadin without letting them
    hear it first, and they said it sounded like what the guy said it
    said.
    
    I'll leave it to you to make your own individual interpretations
    of this experiment.  I've already made mine.

                For those of  you  who  have it, listen to it and
                see what your hear.    If you don't have it, this
                is what I believe it says . . .
                
                
                
                It  says    something   like  "I  like  to  smoke
                marijuana".  It's pretty unmistakable I believe.

    I *know* for certain that either Empty Spaces or In The Flesh from
    _The Wall_ Pink Floyd has an obviously backwards message.  Will someone
    please get a reel-to-reel and play this backwards?

    Queens back masking message supposedly says 
    
    	"It's fun to smoke marijuana"  
    
    I listened to it many years back when I saw a show about heavy
    metal and back masking.  Even though they said it was the above
    quote I still couldn't really hear it.

    Does anyone know what the back masking that is on Judas Priest's
    "Love Bites".  I've been listening to Defenders on CD and there
    is definately something there.  It is during the lines.  "So come
    in my arms....I strike any hour......I will return.....to trap and
    devour.....

    	In the intro to Ozzy's "Bloodbath in Paradise", it sounds
    	like something is "masked" in.  Does anyone know what it
    	is?
