The Reviews about Stairway to heaven (page 3/ 10)
------ performed by Led Zeppelin


stairway to heaven/hell | Reviewer: ellen | 12/21/08

i think that the lyrics were done intentionally but it doesn't mean that led zeppelin where satanist or something. i think they just wanted to show that everything has two sides. when there is good there is evil somewhere near. that heaven and hell, truth and lies, evil and good are always together that they overlap with each other and you can never know when one ends and other starts.they showed that while from one side the song sings about heaven from the other side it is about hell and this two are always together. and that this is the truth of life
but that's just what i think:)))



may may | Reviewer: jasmine rose | 12/3/08

this is an awesome song! everyone likes it, so much that it is the number one most requested song on radio stations even though it was never a single in the u.s. no one was happy about what happened in the toolshed but who cares it's over and done with anyways... :(



who cares? | Reviewer: phil | 11/25/08

who really cares if there is a satanic message? its pretty clever. Fowards its the stairway to heaven, backwards its the stairway to hell. Ok so i'm agnostic. But still. Don't let some unlikely-to-be-true message put you off such a great song. And i agree with carrots. There are tonnes of hints of a backwards message. Still is awsm



subliminal/genius | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/28/08

Anyway, even if there IS a hiden message when you play the song backwards, this song is awesome.
The subliminal message only makes this song better,Imagine how hard it should be to write a song that can be played backwards and forward and still be GREAT. Led Zeppelin is made up of geniuses.



There shines white light. | Reviewer: Jake shapiro | 10/20/08

I think it's a legitimate thing to question as to whether or not there are satanic messages. But here's what I think. They wanted us to find these, if they are, in fact, intentional. The only reason they didn't come right out and say it is the theme. Satan is said to work in mysterious ways, hence the hidden phrases. But I don't think they ment for people to think they were pro-Satan. I think they just wanted that to be part of the song, but hid it to be mysterious.

The part I love most about this whole thing is the end of the song. If you look at it from the point of view that they are telling a story, the end seems like it's good versus evil all throughout the song, and in the end, the good side of the tale is shining through with all that power and vanquishing the evil possibly hidden in the song earlier.



Subliminal | Reviewer: Bazza | 8/30/08

I like the serinity of the song, yo be honest i love the up beat songs like Custard pie and The Wanton Song. I still put this song in my favourites. A couple of days ago i was searching hypnosis and such and eventually i looked at subliminal messages. I found This song with satanis massages. Im not religous, but it made me sad, afraid and withdrawn when i discovered the messages.
Observe, this is the verse that displays satanic implications played foward.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

It so beutiful, but then backwards...
Oh here's to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He'll give you give you 666, there was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.

If you want to know how to open it yourself without public tampering go to: http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/06/adem/random/stairway%20to%20heaven%20backwards.php

or if you are a lazy screw like me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iduFTKST8PQ

Now i have been doing brief searching.
Some mention that they did drugs in a toolshed. others say that a "toolshed" refers to a satanic church. Also in the actual lyrics above it states "'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings", "Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven", "And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last" these phrases give enough implication that if you do listen carefully that there is a second meaning. It does not tell the listener to worship the devil at all. Maybe Led Zeppelin took the song to the next level to mention that there its a stairway to hell and heaven, making contrast in the song. "Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on"
doesn't this give all the explanation you need? allegedlly have been satanic symbols embedded in album covers, art ect. So could this support the idea that they are satanic or just adressing satanism without support? There are many possiblilitys of how they got that message in their song. They claim not to have done it intentionally. Well if you listen to other songs backwards if phrases appear when the song is played backwards, they make NO sense at all. Or the phrase it short such as Britney spears "sleep with me im not too young" in hit me baby one more time (i fucking hate that song) so the possibilitys are that those who belive that They were compelled by Lucifer (the devil) himself to put those phrases in without any controll whatsoever, that could be valid until disproven the existence of the devil. Or they did put them in intetionally with the reasons of:
1. teenagers seek thrill and by putting those messages in there sales would rise by exitment of the conspiracy or because they played the record too many times and wrecked it, hence having to buy another one.
2. Compelled by the devil unintentionally
3. To mention there is the stairway to hell, and putting more meaning in the song without any desire of giving the listeners to follow satanism.
4. Mentioning personal experiences or feelings with our without the intention of it seeming heavily satanic.
5. They are satanic.
6. compleatly unintentional and by sheer chance.

Now i have givin you all the possibility's you can make your own decidion. I love Led Zeppelin and hope that they were not compelled by the devil or that that they were followers. Honestly whatever option it was they make kick ass music and it if you are not an idiot or phsycotically derranged you can enjoy this song without it effecting you. I prey that no stupid teenager takes it to blame their suicide, murder, criminal acts. Judas priest is my favourite band and subliminal messages of satan and suicide were discovered. Two boys killed themselves and they, their perants or detectives claim that Judas Priest caused it. Subliminal messages would only effect those who are psycotically ustable and who seek answers to their actions through blaming others.

It was 2am when i listen to it. My dads house is cold, dark and scary...like a modern murder house. I was scared to go to bed Hahaha. I was upset that such a beautiful song was turned into something so evil so i played it foward and backward endlessly and ended up crying (I dont cry often, how womanly of me) but when you listen to it carefully, REALLY carefully, it does make you sad. It puts emphasis on the phrase "sad satan" and "his little path" did they have empathy for him???



The Greatest | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/20/08

Without a word of doubt, this is the greatest rock song of all time, from the greatest rock band of all time. It is just purely epic. How Swan Song signed a record deal to these I'll never know. Zeppelin are far too epic to be controlled by anybody. THE STAIRWAY LIES ON THE WHISPERIN WIND!



Relax | Reviewer: Ali | 8/18/08

This song is beyond brilliant. It's sheer beauty of songwriting at its very best. Just open your mind and stop analyzing every little thing they sing/play. If you can do that, it doesn't matter what it means. It's an experience better then anything else.

Peace!

para de mamar | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/31/08

satan is an medieval invention, there isn't any record of such a thing in the catolic church before 1400, is a key word for "any pagan god"

Read the bible, all that isn't acepted as "divine" is satanic, even goin' to the bathroom

the oldes record of a god called satan or shaitan is from the Yazidian god Melek Taus Shaytan the Peacock Angel, abaut 2000, leader of the archangels and patron of the good

so, it relly metters?

just play the song forward and enjoy it.
