Backmasking?
We've all heard it said that playing some records backwards can reveal hidden "usually Satanist" messages, but has anyone ever actually played a record backwards and heard any real words?
Aparently, this is called backmasking, though I didn't know that until, in a fit of boredom, I went looking on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
and clicked a few links at almost random. Anyway, there is a page about it at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking
but has anyone here ever tried it?
Oh, and Jasper Carrott says he once tried playing a heavy metal record backwards once, to see if there was a Satanic message there. And aparently it said "Your stylus is knackered...your stylus is knackered...Your stylus is knackered" :)

i have some dj decks that have a switch to push and the record plays backwards fully, for as long as you want :)
ive not heard no backwards messages tho tbh :P then again i aint been looking
ive mixed some backwards brazillian hardcore thrashmetal into drum and bass for the laugh tho :P
I mean, load up most games backwards, and you'll probably get the evil version, where you have to kill people instead of rescuing them.
If you load Skooldaze backwards, you get the American version, where you take in your dad's shotgun, and have to kill as many pupils and teachers as possible, before the SWAT team's snipers pick you off.
And maybe if you load Underwulde backwards, you'll get Mire Mare :o
When the intro is played backwards it says "Turn Back ... Turn Back ... Turn Back".
Thats not that Satanic.... but then ELO never were. :D

A lot of it is self-explanatory, but a few lines need some interpretation. I reckon "an etcher must have my roots off" is about someone tearing their hair out trying to use Art Studio. "The egg Casanova" is of course a reference to the plotline of Egghead 4. "It's this year here" alludes to the fact that it's currently 1987, but everyone in the rest of the world appears to be under the impression that it's 2006.
I don't know what "slachanacha" means. Anyone around here speak Gaelic?
What one is it?? I'll have a listen. I got most of Hojo's stuff on Vynal I'll give it a spin. Well reverse spin anyways....
You don’t belong here,
Now Look Howard,
Your not well are you?
You Got Flu Howard,
So staple the pocket and get well,
Andy thinks you should
Now Michelle would like to see you well as well,
I think it would be better if you got better,
So can we have you well Howard??
Make your own mind up on what it says the reversed recording can be found here:

...you can't tell the difference.
same with the Dr who theme from the 80s
True Fcat :-)
it sounds a bit like 's 'n là an-each na heachan - "it's the day of the horse of the horses" if I'm not mistaken... some evil incantation there, the work of the devil, no doubt
Wos Shat on that.....
Which could be relating Kizza's dreams of gaining some Kudos.
Also... (correct me if I'm wrong).. but does the into to the song HELL AWAITS by Slayer have some too?
Skarpozzzleepy.
