if you know any stories of cults or some weird history stuff or any thing like that post it here.

i think ill start with probably the most well known “cult” story the eagles"hotel california" i dont knoe=w much about it if it even is a cult or not but some people say you can see the leader of the satanic church in a wndow on the album cover. if you can elaborate id like to hear it.

Despite my parents efforts–they had me kidnapped by “deprogrammers”–they cannot pull me away from this bizarre one-wheel cult.

It’s an obsession for many unicyclists, who gather together and spend all their time in the unicyclist.comMunity.

Conspiracy theory, yes, cult, no…

Lots of examples at:

the power of christ compels you (repeat as nesecary)

Ah, but they want you to think there’s a conspiracy.

which is why it’s a conspiracy theory

http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/hotel.htmand bookmark www.snopes.com. I have a feeling this thread is going to need it.

There’s also the secret messages in Stairway to Heaven…

11

Which messages? The drug consumption reference/warning is obvious, but what are the others?
Please let me know, I’m a Led Zep’ fan (as far as I can be), but didn’t pay much attention to the lyrics hidden sense.

actually its in the backmasking, someone posted a link, but not in this thread in a different one, and im too lazy to look it up, but the tagline to the guys site was like
“more then just that backmasking guy”
google should be able to find it

Thank you Dave

about 10 years ago, I remember my sister told me that one song of Queen, once reversed, sounded like “it’s fun to smoke marijuana” (well, it’s my sister, and I don’t know where she heard about it, so I guess it might be untrue, or not exactly the above sentence).
I’ve been wondering for years what song it could be, as I’m not a Queen fan…
I think the song that matches the best would be “Another one bites the dust” but haven’t had the opportunity to listen to that song once reversed. Any way if it’s true it’s probably exagerated (some people only have time for listening to reversed songs and search/find any negative message)
Anybody’s heard about this one? Snopes.com didn’t find it (or I’m a noob with the search tool:o )

Wikipedia has an entry for Another One Bites the Dust and even a link to a site that has the song played backwards.

Thanks Jjuggle!
sorry sister!:wink:

Look at Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to heaven.


I think someone had too much time on their hands if they spent time listening to this backward and finding words that aren’t there, but some may think otherwise.
