backmasking
 

anyone believe in the subliminal messages from backmasking? several wellknown rock bands have been known to reveal messages when their lyrics from songs are played in reverse. anyone know what i'm talking about?

Yes, but I think the only way to put it in there is intentionally. I honestly don't believe that we say things secretly backwards, so people can record them, and play it properly. Its just a dumb concept to me.

the jim and tammy baker albums played backwards.. we need money we need money we need your money we need money

heh

anyways yeah acdc has some there are others.. maybe ill bust out the old 45's and see what i can find

two words:

Publicity stunts.

backmasking something in music does not make it audible to anyone when playing music forward. What is the point?

Years ago, my aunt worked at record producing company that will remain nameless. She told me that during a production session on a Pink Floyd album, where the play the master and record it onto the consumer product, she happened to have the volume turned up on her headphones. After the side was over, she started rewinding it with the volume still up. She said there was a message from the band. She told me what it said, but it was so long ago that I don't remember what it was. It didn't show up on the recording, only on the master tape. It has something to do with it being a 16 track mixing machine being played backward at high speed.

Pink Floyd has the famous intentional one on The Wall. If the song Empty Spaces is played backwards, you hear "Congratulations. You've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the Funny Farm, Chalfont".
