Yeah 666 is on it, but I've never seen the word evil-don't know where the professor came up with that one. I think Regina has a point though-how can you judge an artist work without their interpretation? I think your professor is misguided because anyone who listens to Prince's music knows that he doesn't have an evil bone in his body-every lyric is spiritual, yes even the strange ones.

Let me make another point! What if someone said that everyone born in 1999 was evil, because if u turn 1999 upside down there are 3 sixs in it. Is that stupid? Yes!!! Is that wrong to do? Yes it is!!!!! Same applies to the stupid statement made about the 1999 album cover. Remember people have to attone for any intentional wrong or misleading thoughts or actions.

well my neice was born in 1999 and she is pure d evil ..try waking her up ..and the look she'll give ..girl looks like she's about 2 go linda blair on ya

Ugh... this is the most retarded thread. A total mouth breather contingent thread. Can people just grow up? There is no sky fairy that cares about you. There is no devil. Led Zepplein only sounds like they are saying satan backwards if you are listening for them to, that's how the brain works. And your idiot teacher is desperately trying to find the image and evidence for Satan around every corner.

666 Hail Satan. Chistianity is stupid. Read a frik'n book.

If you take Marilyn Manson's music for instance, it is true; his rock music is blatantly satanic. He's even the reverend of his own satanic church.

And do you know what KISS stands for? Knights In Satans Service.

And the band SLAYER stands for Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot.

So yes I believe a lot of Rock music is used as a vehicle for satanic messages.

And Prince stands for Penises Rise In Naughty Creamy Explosions, therefore confirming Prince's satanic homosexual tendancies once and for all.


I know you probably think what I'm saying is ridiculous but have you ever listened to Slayer? The inside pic in one of their CDs has a guy with a huge pentagram carved into his arms with blood dripping down. I wouldn't doubt one minute thats what their name stood for.

I think people get a little carried away with numbers and finding hidden messages in songs played backwards. I mean don't u agree with me that anything backwards is going to sound creepy? If you played a Celine Dion song backwards im sure youd hear some pretty weird crap too.

I was studying yesterday when the subject of Satan and music came up. The teacher started 2 point out how Rock music was 2 some degree a front for passing along satanic messages 2 the masses. During the conversation he mentioned Prince and the album cover of 1999. If u turn the album cover upside down, u can see the 666 (mark of the beast) and the word evil. That sort of took me by surprise but I could clearly see the point the teacher was trying 2 make about the 1999 album cover. Any thoughts on this?

If this has been discussed before, my apologies.



I can sort of see where it looks like the word EVIL
if you look at it upside down the E minus the moon the pants the 1 and the boot COULD look like it spells evil.
although I think that the art on the album represents what the artist (prince) was fusing studing feeling creating and so on during that period in his career.
i don't think that it was all about evilness or the devil. I think that it reflects what the artist is fazing through creativly. I think that it is just how your mind perceives the ART,and i think that's possibly what Prince wanted to capture in this album cover,YOU C What YOU see.

im quite sure prince was aware about what his albim cover showed upside down, but it was just 2 annoy people and society, it was some kind of finger up 2 the ones who talk in2 "the devil" and being evil so much and join the JW wink

prince always believed in god, but in the beginning he had his own way and first even laughed at MJ when he wanted 2 make him join the JW, for example.

as for bands like KISS, look at the way they wrote SS. and i actually dont think paul stanley and gene simmons are hardcore nazis falloff its just a way 2 gain attention, nothing more.

so.. you're gonna sit here and say that Prince is gonna 'admit' to you and the world that he may have dabbled in the occult world?

So i had some experiences where


yeah, but do you know or have any experiences with witchcraft?


folks really shouldn't get mad at hearing things like this..that Prince may have been involved in something 'deep' back in the past.. this is a topic no one wants to touch or even believe...

That's true, and people don't want to READ about it either! So that they can weigh it up in their minds, they don't want to even THINK about the possibility of it... and yet, it's actually glaringly obvious to me now....and reading's good! There have been some fantastic threads and posts on all of this on here in the past. I just wish I could find them all....

Yeah, this has been brought up on here. Several times cuz I myself have brought it up on here a few times. I thought it was common knowledge about this album cover. Myself and other kids were hip to the cover when it was first released in 82. The cover is begging for interpretation. It's MANY things on this album cover.

Exactly...It truly doesn't matter what people think, either way. It doesn't change what P's intentions were or what he was or wasn't into. If Stella crossed the street 9 times walking backwards and then somebody else came on here and wrote a thread about it, everybody else could post and say "Nah,...that's bullshit. I don't believe it." That's fine and all, but does that change the fact that Stella didn't crossed the street backwards 9 times? It doesn't. So it TRULY doesn't matter what people think either way, now does it?

Sorry,you are wrong about kiss,this nights in satans service is something created by stupid people that were against kiss by that time.Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are jewesh and is prety hard to belive that they are satanic.They dont use drugs and never done nothing satanic during theirs lives.People call Ozzy Osborne a satanic folk 2,other mistake.and 1999 a satanic album?what a joke.people try to find satan in many places and start a rebelion against an artist or a culture whith this crap,tell you somenthing and i dont mean to ofend you in any way but satan just doesent exist,the church named him the guilty of all evil in this world,the oponet of god and Jesus,they nead him to put fear in peoples hearts.They nead to show you 2 opossites ways,god and bad so you can chose the god and if you dont whell you know,you go to hell after you die,and thets why crazy people such as this professor finds the number of the beast in a Prince album,what a waist of time.

i used to think the whole 1999 album cover thing was a bit childish of people for pointing out that 999 equals 666 and "the revolution" backwards says "evil" or whatever, and he wrote "ecnirp" because of something Crowley had said. such silliness, or so i thought back then. i've since come to learn much more about the man. he dug a lot deeper a decade later with evidence of that still popping up in his work today. but i'll reserve that for a different thread. peace.

evil is not the opposite of good or God
evil literally gets smoked in comparison to good
and no, satan is not needed to put fear in the hearts of people
it's sin and what people do that does that
take a look around at all the evil in the world
we do it by what we allow and by what we ourselves do
and it's for this reason, Jesus came
to save us from ourselves

love will win

I do agree with you in the fact that sometimes people takes numerology a little too far...they try to find bad in everything...wasn't it not a few years ago when someone said the www on the internet was translated into 666? I think people are looking so hard to find "it" it wont be something so obvious...u know what i mean? Like, i mean u can interpret anything to be any number if you try hard enough.
