Led Zeppelin Satanic Theories

June 2nd 2008 00:19
Led Zepplin are freaking awesome. If you doubt this, have a look;



A band this huge tends to develop plenty of conspiracy theories. In Led Zeppelin’s case, it was a ripper, a conspiracy that became part of the ledged of Rock n’ roll itself.

The conspiracy stemmed from a passage of Stairway to Heaven which was said to hide Satanic messages that could be heard when played backwards.


There are many variations of what the segment says, but one of the most cited is – “Here’s to my sweet Satan, the one’s who’s path would make me sad, whose power is Satan, He’ll give you 666, He has a toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.’

The following video gives full lyrics for the song backwards, suggesting it as dedicated in its entirety to Satan;



Aside from the various conspiracies surrounding ‘Stairway,’ there are a small number of things that additionally have helped to build on the conspiracy.

The Image 'Zoso' from Led Zeppelin Four


Jimmy Page has been long associated, if not directly with Satanism, with the Occult, and had a known interest in the writings of Alistair Crawly. His symbol, from the album Led Zeppelin four often referred to as ‘Zoso’ has an unknown meaning, as yet unexplained meaning, but contains symbolism, taken from Crowly.

When God sneaks out at night to stencil an old brick wall, he’s making a picture of Banksy. That’s how awesome Banksy is.

Banksy is a well known artist and trickster, centred in England. He is most famous for his stencils, produced illegally in public spaces around England.

A more recent prank that gained considerable attention was the Paris Hilton CD. While Paris was being released, Banksy was busy collaborating with Dangermouse to produce Paris Hilton Remixes such as "Why am I Famous?", "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?"
