Aw, hell. Totally forgot about "Paint It Black". Okay, so that is TWO Stones songs I really like. Not much more, though. And "Lay Lady Lay" along with "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" are two of my favorite Dylan songs. HEY! "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"..... Now there's a helluva combination! Lord have mercy!
What about Highway to Hell?
The Devil went down to Georgia on the highway to Hell. Along the way he stopped and was knocking on heaven's door because he needed a place to stay for the night. Gabriel answered the door and immediately said, "No vacancies. Go try the Hotel California down the street." The Devil looked into Gabriel's lying eyes and started to protest, but Gabriel cut him off saying, "Save your breath, Satan. There's no sympathy for the Devil here." Then Gabriel slams the door closed in his face. Saddened, the Devil continues on his way and finally stops at the Heartbreak Hotel. Once checked in, he goes to the bar and orders a Tequila Sunrise and proceeds to get whisky bent and hell bound.
If you stay at the Heartbreak Hotel, stay away from the Honky Tonk women. They'll make you twist and shout, and Lucille will pick a fine time to leave you, while Ruby will just take her love to town. If you're looking for a pretty woman who'll want to make it with you, you'll find the stairway to heaven in the lobby, but it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.
The funny thing about these Satanic panic people is there really is some music out there that perhaps is actually satanic. And I've never heard any of them complain about that stuff. Instead they complain about pop music, lol.
So can you tell me that all these people are doing the same thing as a lie? Most of these people are ego fiends they wouldn't be a part of something unless they got something out of it. Why would a collection of idols get together and lie about something like this?
Just watch 1 minute of this one. What the heck is this?
Watch "NEW Celebrities That Worship The Devil & Baphomet In Hollywood (Exposed) Full Video" on YouTube

Just like I said: fucking pop music, lol.
That hand gesture isn't the devil's horns. It symbolizes talking on the phone. It's also a way to pick your nose and scrape wax out of your ear at the same time.
Here's a real scary gesture. A preacher stretches out his arms and raises his hands to the ceiling. When someone does this, they're about to steal your money and your mind. Tell that to those youngsters you're trying to help.

Also if a catholic priest makes the sign of a cross, be careful, chances are he's about to rape a child. This is quite a widely practiced ritual by catholic priests, raping children that is, not making the sign of a cross.
Oh wait, is that hand sign the way they open the interdimensional portals you mentioned before?
@Nyarlathotep
Lol maybe? I don't know, but I've heard harmonic frequencies are needed as well. Like Nikola Tesla said. I just know I'm not going to mess with stuff that doesn't have an exit. Also most "satanists" are just athiests who have fun stirring the pot for religious bigots. The real thing is more like a Catholic priest alone with a child. Or an industry that has the most influence on children in a system that has removed the parental roles to the bare minimum.
@Sheldon
Just because you directly haven't experienced something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I guarantee that if you wanted to know if the devil exists? You could seek out the right connections and do the things necessary to gain more evidence than you could chew. But we both know you won't do that, on either side. So it's deemed impossible and non-existent because "The Great Sheldon who has experienced everything" has said so. Lol I Love you man. That's quite a big basket to put all your eggs in.

No you couldn't - Hitchens's razor applied.

Fine then you should have no problem demonstrating some objective evidence for this superstitious fairy tale then? Let the excuses commence.
Is it a particular time of year when the crazier theists troll the internet or something?
Yeah! What’s wrong with you GreatHope? You’re acting kind of weird.
Are we talking about an industry in which talentless wankers make millions by selling empty dreams and corrupting lies to morons, while themselves being exploited by greedy, controlling scumbags?
That sounds like the Catholic church and American evangelist Christianity to me. The pop music industry is just a collection of amateurs compared to those monumental bloodsuckers.
@Algebe
Lol agreed. That's such a good way to put it. Thank you for that perception. That's what I came here for. I can definitely help the youth with that summary. Thanks again.
@Great Hope Re: "Selling SOULS to the Devil: PROOF Lucifer runs the MUSIC INDUSTRY.."
Before I read any other posts on here, I just want to say real quick if that statement is true, then the Devil really needs to up his game a bit. Sure, there are some really great songs out there, especially from the dawn of rock and roll and into the 80's. However, over the past five or ten years in particular, music has pretty much gone to shit. It is all mostly just covers and remakes. Almost like nobody has any original ideas anymore. So sad...
Edit to add: Satan must be losing his touch.
@ Anyone
Was there a point of this thread?

Re: "Was there a point of this thread?"
Of course, silly. My-my-my my Mama says rocks-in-rolls is da Debil!
Is that an Adam Sandler waterboy quote?

Yep.... *grin*...

Well it's asking what conclusions can be drawn about music and the devil. I can think of one that is valid, music is real, whereas the devil is a superstitious fiction created to scare money out the gullible sheeple, and keep them in check.
All I can say is in all my time as muso ...not one bastard offered to take my soul for fame and fortune...mind there was one lady of a certain age on a cruise boat that offered me a spectacular amount of money and a car to provide personal services (hey!, it was 40 years ago and I had hair.) after the cruise at her mansion...could she have been the devil?
Apart from that the only devils and demons I saw were the last week fancy dress party....and I can tell you the gay cruise I did (the one and only , never again....)the rumours about Satan's prong are perfectly true! That costume was...uh, revealing....
Dont suppose you kept the old dears card? If shes still alive shed be even more desperate now. Do you suppose she'd mind the wife coming along?
Its worth investigating Old Man...dont let the passage of time worry you...she's probsbly lost her hair too.
Music is of the Devil, everyone knows that. God wrote it on your heart. Interestingly it is not the conclusions that matter but the evidence leading up to the conclusions.
Maybe they're all doing it just to troll people who think there's some kind of mysticism behind it.
Wouldn't that be fun.
Great Hope: "I'm really curious what conclusions can be made about music and devil?"
In all honesty. NONE. Music is human construct. The Devil is a human construct. No relations.

People out there on the dance floor wriggling their bodies with sexual innuendo, IT'S SINFUL I TELL YOU SINFUL. Bumping and grinding sex organs together with nothing but clothes separating them from the act of intercourse. HEATHENS THAT WILL BURN IN HELL. Getting all sweaty to the BUMP BUMP BUMP of rock n roll. THIS IS WHAT THE PAGANS DID BEFORE GOD KILLED THEM ALL IN THE GREAT FLOOD. THE END IS AT HAND. JUDGMENT DAY IS UPON US. GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!!!
That's why a lot of religions forbid people to have sex standing up, in case they're tempted to start dancing.
This appears to be right in my wheel house... I'm a massive heavy metal/black metal fan.
And a lot of it is presumed to be satanic, such as slipknot (for the mainstream, still bloody excellent) all the way to Burzum..
In all honesty there is probably a very tiny minority that are into Satanism, but even then half would know it's as bollocks as any other belief structure.
I just like it as a way of just letting out frustration and when I'm doing weights at the gym... simple as that.
