The Hammer of the Gods (1985) p. 335] Robert Plant expressed frustration with the accusations in a 1983 interview in Musician magazine: "To me it's very sad, because 'Stairway to Heaven' was written with every best intention, and as far as reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music."

The clip above features Jeroen Offerman, a Dutch visual artist who, a decade ago, spent three months learning to sing Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” entirely backwards. He filmed himself singing the song in reverse, while standing in front of Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London, then flipped the direction of the video (hence the
Robert Plant hates 'Stairway to Heaven'. Probably the most famous song in Led Zeppelin's catalog and one of the most famous rock songs ever, it's shocking to find anybody who hates "Stairway to Heaven." Well, you can count Robert Plant, of all people, as one of those who would quite like to never, ever hear "Stairway to Heaven" ever again.

Most of the backwards "lyrics" in the song are such bullshit, I remember watching a lyrics video with friends back in the day and just laughing that the people could make up all of that from total gibberish but then the part came up thats like all hail satan 666 and we were like woooaaaa.

It's quite literally the song Stairway To Heaven but reversedm. the lyrics backwards are about Satan. Is that coincidence or did they do that on purpose. There have been times where bands have actually added secret backwards message on records, but this isn't one of those.
A well-known controversial backmasking message was contained in Led Zeppelin's 1971 ''Stairway to Heaven,'' with the message ''Here's to my sweet Satan.'' Swan Song Records replied to this
So words from the horses mouth seems that people are j [u]st reading too much into the song, always good to have a bit of controversy though. So there you have it: Robert Plant, member of Led Zeppelin and the writer of Stairway to Heaven, thinks this whole backmasking controversy is a bunch of bullocks. It’s too bad he didn’t get a photo
Yes. Fortunately, they didn't show the backwards "lyrics" right away in this video - that way, it's easy to see/hear that the supposed hidden messages are just chosen arbitrarily. With the lyrics in front of you, you suddenly hear some of it (even though it doesn't work for all of them, e. g. I did absolutely NOT hear the word "Satan" at 7:52).
Released on the Harmony label and credited to ‘Dell Jones’ – who, like the Devil, (probably) doesn’t exist – the A-side of the bootleg seven-inch EP The Evils of Led Zeppelin Exposed is just Stairway to Heaven backwards, making it either a brilliantly deft example of musique concrete so completely deconstructing the source material that it requires no additional sonic manipulation Jacko from Atlanta, Ga i tried to discover the truth to the so-called "satan messages" myself. i played the song backwards to 10 people who i TOLD what the alleged satanistic lyrics were. and all of them but 1 claimed to hear the satan message. then i played it backwards to 10 people who i DIDNT tell what the satanistic lyrics were and ALL of .
