    BEST BAND EVER

      Franky Broadcast Its astonishing the satanic Backward masking messages in Stairway to Heaven....
      Look at the list...these are clearly heard in reverse...
      "There is no escaping it"
      "The Lord turned me off"
      "My sweet Satan"
      "He will give us 666'
      "I live with Satan"
      and there is more...
      and there is even gnashing of teeth that can be heard backwards. (a reference to the Scripture in the Bible "there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth".)
      Surely, Plant knew about this backward masking....watch carefully when he sings "and you know sometimes words have two meanings" in the Live Concert Video (referring to the backward messages...and how deliberately Plant flips his two fingers back and forth to the audience....surely Plant knew... ) and Just look at their logo on the center of the album...an angel being cast out of Heaven!
      This is eery and supernatural in nature...how can someone create a song with the destiny of this song, and make it work forwards to reach the heights it has, and make sense forwards, yet still embed these complex Satanic messages. Yes, Satan is real.
      And so is the Lord Jesus Christ who came into the world to destroy the works of the devil and save sinners from the devil's blinding power and plans to kill, steal and destroy everyone in his path. Thank God that His mighty power is far greater than Satan, who is merely a fallen angel. One holy angel, at God's command, lays hold on the Devil, binds him in chains and throws him into the bottomless pit. Ultimately, Satan and his demons will be cast into the lake of fire and will be tormented day and night forever, along with all the wicked, and unbelievers. Repent, and seek the LORD people.
      Get a Bible...Ask God for mercy....follow hard after Jesus! He is worthy. His sheep will hear His voice, and follow Him. Are you one of His lost sheep?

      Franky Broadcast That is why it has survived for almost 2000 years...
      That is why it uniquely does not flatter man.
      That is why it contains prophecy that has been fulfilled. Example: Psalm 22. Written over 100 years before Christ's birth...fulfilled in detail.
      I think you need to take the Bible seriously because it talks about your sins...your sins...
      your sins....that you know bind you....

      it's funny i never really thought of them as heavy metal, for a rock band they were so unbelievably eclectic, funk, country, folk, rock, pop, reggae, blues, samba, to name a few. The weren't just a rock band nor heavy metal, they were an education.

    When Jack was making the movie, "School of Rock." he wanted a Zep song...but being the band that they are, they don't easily give out their songs. So Jack and the crew of the movie made a music video to give to Led Zeppelin to show why they needed to have one of their songs in the movie.
    after seeing the video they agreed.
    So just think how important of a moment this was for Jack Black to be able to say thank you at this level.

    Jack Black owns it. His walk to the microphone; that strut. How he did it was amazing. Two minutes. That's all it took, but boy did he represent. Funny as hell. Opinionated. Thematic. Everything he said, every word had great portent. Didn't Lincoln say it all in two minutes with "The Gettysburg Address?" Out of all his great comedic performances I think this was his finest moment.
