Interestingly, for all of his interest in the occult and Crowley, Jimmy Page categorically denies that there are backwards messages in STH. In fact, he chalks it all up to coincidence.

And Plant has said that the lyrics mean absolutely nothing because they were in Morocco and high as hell when they wrote it. lol


YEAH HIGH FROM SMOKING SATANIC WEED!

NO SERIOUSLY THOUGH

IF PLANT SANG WORD BACKWARD

THEY BE ABOUT HOBBITS IF ANYTHING

That's one thing I really don't know though. Is Page still into the occult, or was that just something from his past? (like heroin and 14 year old girls lol )

There are actually books written on the Page/Crowley connection, but I've never read any of them.



Maybe it was just to create some mystique considering that the band hated the press (with due cause).

I don't believe any of it.

That could be. Although I'd like to think all of it was true. It makes for much more interesting stories. razz

Which of course is bullshit.


More than likely, although I'm not sure how much he would have been able to convince Plant to go along with it. He's always seemed totally uninterested in the whole Crowley thing, preferring stuff with a more Buddhist slant. Still, maybe they were high, and it sounded like fun to make backwards messages about the devil.

Still not sure why Page would deny it if he's as into Crowley and the occult though... hmmm

Plant was definately into it. Plant is the one who wrote the lyrics to Stairway. If u have never heard it in reverse..well..
