Does anybody know of any other groups that have used backmasking? There's an evil song by the Bears on their first album where there's backwards masking that says "Bears like to eat at Joe's" or something satanic like that. The Beatles did a hymn to Lucifer, I think it's called "Rain", where John Lennon sings the chorus of the song backwards towards the end. I heard he was tripping and listening to some demo tapes on a reel-to-reel, and he put the tape on backwards and thought it sounded pretty neat. There's also a backwards message between (I think) Piggies and Blackbird on the White album, where they admit that Paul McCartney is dead. Paul was crucified in a gory ritual in which they called Lucifer and demanded that he create the evil Hunter S. Thompson and unleash him upon an unsuspecting world. Famed Satinist, Communist, and devourer of small babies Frank Zappa included a song on the album Them Or Us where all of the backwards were vocals. It was called "Ya Hozna." He also reversed the lyrics for the version of "No Not Now" on Thing-Fish, making it into the insidiously evil "Won-ton On". Finally, lest you think that this is something that isn't done by popular bands anymore, Debbie Gibson's "Electric Youth" album is masking backwards of full. In part of it, she describes how to trade the soul of your firstborn for a shiny red Fiat. I could go on and on, but I think that these examples should prove that rock musicians are an evil and hideous lot who want nothing more than to poison the minds of youth (remember that kid who hung himself after listening to an Ozzie song about suicide?!?). Just remember, "rock n roll" backwards is "llorn kcor" (ancient turkish name for the devil). ude.notgnihsaw.tats.enahhalk@ymerej
