Question 98posted 03 Aug 2012, 14:24Do you want to know a secret In order for you to full understand, please watch the links bellow, open them in new tab. Since late 1969, rumors have circulated that Paul McCartney died and was replaced in 1966. The replacement was supposedly William Campbell who had won a Paul lookalike contest. Further, even though this was kept a secret, the Beatles have been planting clues in lyrics and on album covers to tell us about it. The Backwards Clues Of all the clues, the most eeriest of all are the ones that can be heard on the records themselves, when the passages are played backwards. There are two main clues to Paul's death which are hearable on Beatles records when played backwards, and they are both on the White Album: Revolution 9 At the very beginning of this track, repeating over and over, and heard again many times later in the cut, is the phrase "Number nine" in a very formal british voice. When played backwards, this phrase sounds like "Turn me on, dead man", repeated over and over. This clue is doubly eerie when you remember John singing "I'd love to turn you on..." at the end of A Day In The Life. I'm So Tired/Blackbird There is some mumbling that sounds like John and Yoko right after the very abrupt ending of I'm So Tired and before the beginning of the next song, Blackbird. This passage has no english interpretation when played forwards. However, when played backwards, you can hear John say, "Paul is a dead man. Miss him. Miss him. MISS HIM!" This is again doubly eerie, in that this backwards message again mentions the phrase "dead man", and that the very next line on the record, sung by Paul, "Blackbird singing in the dead of night", also mentions death. Here is some youtube links http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYjWodbTwAY - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6wRwtcwKv4 Do you have anything to add to this, anything at all? (no jokes or BS) |

As far as hidden messages goes there was a case in America in the 80s (I could search for it but cba just now) where two teenage boys committed suicide after being inspired by playing a Judas Priest record backwards. In court the record was played backwards and the satanic messages were open to debate, very unclear. The defense team pointed out the clearest phrase when played backwards by far was Fluffy Pink Toothbrushes. I couldn't make this shit up google it if you want the full story! Peoples brains seek for patterns and meaning everywhere, play anything backwards you get nonsense but the mind tries to interpret that nonsense and people hear things that simply are not there.

I also heard that Yoko Ono ate Paul and replaced him with William Campbell in about 1979.
On ex. eminem song "my name is ..." backwards is "its eminem" repeated clearly and constantly.

This one though is just simply not true. The many clues on the album cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band are not really what they have been interpreted as being. Yes many on the cover are people who have died and some of them in car crashes but they are on the cover not for that reason but because everyone on the cover was an icon. Paul as the Walrus is interpreted as a symbol of death but it was actually a reference to the walrus from Alice in Wonderland.
The idea as well that you can play records backwards and hear hidden messages is an old one and has actually been done by some bands but if you play enough music backwards or at different speeds you will hear things that sound like words and sometime they are, but what would really be strange is if that never happened.
The story itself of his death in a car with a fan who got excited when she recognised who she was in the car with just does not make any sense at all. At that time there were no female Beatles fans anywhere in the world who would not have instantly recognised Paul when seeing him and if she died in the crash as well then how do people know that the crash happened because she got excited and threw her arms around him?
Paul is a left handed base player and he has always had a very distinctive voice, so the chances of finding a man who not only was a perfect (And I do mean absolutely perfect) look alike but was also a left handed guitarist and who could also match all of Paul's mannerisms (and his accent) and who just happened to sound identical is asking a bit much to believe. It is an interesting story but it is just a story.
