I thought I'd put this in a seperate thread, but I thought of it when I remembered that Keith Rowland stated he considered RS to be Satanic.
Now, keep in mind that I don't believe in the actual existence of a devil that whispers evil suggestions in your ear, and I don't believe it is possible for a person to become demonically possessed. But, I do believe in the symbology of Satan, in that he represents the worst in all of us. And, I like the Buddhist concept that the devil (who resides in heaven!) represents a challenge designed to stregnthen us all. By defeating our personal demons, we become stronger, and thus make the devil our ally.
I do think there are certain types of music, mostly done in minor keys or in certain rythms, that can alter our brainwaves and trigger depression or even agression. Such types of music, IMO, would be hip-hop, some heavy metal, especially "death metal," and even some classical...especially Bartok. I often refer to these types of music as "satanic," but not in a religious sense.
Any opinions?

Ever notice how certain music can make you happy, sad, aggressive, relaxed, any kind of feeling or emotion....it is no secret that music affects people, very much so. There is positive, uplifting music, and depressing, negative music, and it is that way for a reason. I deliberately shut music off if it starts to affect my mood negatively. I can't stomach "downer" music. I really do believe that it was mostly the music that cause those boys to commit suicide in the Judas Priest saga.
Music is very powerful. Be conscientious of what you are listening to. That's why they play elevator music in the dentist and doctors offices....they want to put your brain in the alpha state and cause you to relax and go into a daze.
This is a method of control.
TV's do it to us too.....and more than visual, sound affects us directly, that's why the mute button on the TV is so necessary. You notice, when you mute the sound, that your brain does a disconnect, and you are able to break out of the trance?
Just a few thoughts....does this fact make musicians responsible for the music, in that it affects people's brain waves? IMO, it certainly does. But, there is a market for negative music. :/

I know that they've monitored brain waves and detected the different changes that different types of music can bring about. Music played in minor keys can be particularly influential. Heavy metal is bad, but the worst music of all is rap or hip-hop. IMO, anyway, but I think it's pretty well-documented.
Funny you should bring up the Judas Priest case. If you will recall, it occurred in my town, with the band here defending themselves. They were a bunch of nice English chaps, and were especially popular buying rounds for the folks at a favorite local bar of mine, "The Zehpyr."
One kid survived for quite some time after blowing half his face away, but he died just ahead of the trial. His lawyer, suing Judas Priest, continued to represent him on behalf of his parents. I knew that lawyer...Tim Post. He called in an expert witness named David John Oates, who testified in the civil and criminal trials, and continues to assist the Reno Police in RS and Subliminal matters. He also appeared in Larry King in the matter.
Hey David...just kidding!

I did know of David's involvement in the Judas P. thing. About your question, sorry for not answering succinctly, About RS being Satanic...I went on exploratory surgery with that issue, and thought to myself, "Who would be a good religious candidate for reversing, someone devoutly religious", and I thought of Elvis Presley. Then I found that reversal on him that was very religious in nature, a few of them actually. This to me proved that RS was not satanic, but was simple truth, both positive and negative in the human psyche. I was comfortable with resting on this, since RS is not "evil" or "good", it is a world where the truth shines, be it positive or negative....black or white, good or evil. That RS reflects the deep subconscious of the speaker, and that in no way should I be biased and label RS evil or good, and so on... I'm sure you will agree, when you listen to this video I made of a compilation of Elvis reversals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AnKRAOFi_0Now, if he can be devoutly religious in reverse, and that reflects his unconscious, doesn't it stand to reason that RS is not exclusively evil....not evil at all - in and of itself.

PS: It is the evil people themselves, that want(s) RS dead, at least out of most people's hands, prolly so they can use it in secret.

Just saw it, along with your MLK compilation. I see you got a lot of great comments and very few detractors on You Tube for it. Congrats!
I'm sure you saw CDH's post, where Keith Rowland is now a webmaster for some fundie evangelist preacher.
Wouldn't it be weird to find out the whole feud thing was engineered not be some government organization, but by some nut with a religious zeal thinking he was doing God's work?
Like I say, I don't even believe in the existence of Satan, but I do believe in the symbolism.

I do embrace the Satan news, but it's Paranormal/Religious! ><Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

Well, in the sense I meant it, it's more philosophical or psychological.

I don't know how many here watched the UFO question put on by ABC Wed. I did. The statement by one individual caught my attention. He stated he had seen strange lights for several weeks in his area. Coming home late one night a strange craft came along side his vehicle and he mentally stated he was not prepared for this appearance as he been vexed by family problems. Whatever this thing was took off at high speed according to this witness as almost listening to his thoughts..
I don't think I ever stated in my encounter on that foggy snow patched 2000 early spring morning that I was also pre occupied. I was loosing my mother, she was dieing and I could do nothing about it. I was talking to God asking him why we suffer so much sorrow in this life both physically and mentally. It was then I was suddenly overtaken with this euphoria and the approach of this egg shaped object across a plowed field. Why then did this appear. Could it read my thoughts as this other individual perceived in his encounter? It seems it or they can and I will only view it in a negative vain as the timing was I believe non co incidental.
