ROBERT PLANT

His official website displays nothing of the occult.

Rolling Stone Magazine talks about Plant believing in Psychic Phenomenon.

An interview with Plant reveals a sense of humor – or a slip of the tongue – or just a metaphorical statement -

It could be argued that the road down which Plant has travelled began at the house of Sonny Johnson, who, Plant claims, “was the original blues singer to sell his soul to the devil - he did it five years before Robert Johnson had even thought about it and 30 years before us guys from middle England decided to sell our souls to the junkman. He wasn’t as immediately exotic as Robert Johnson, who took the slinky bits from Son House and turned them into something quite sensual, but he did have a rabbit’s foot around his neck and a great dark style.”

“Let’s set up a feast for the photograph,” he says as we sit down by the dining table. “We’ll put some cutlery out, light some candles, then get Jimmy Page over and do a black mass.”

Robert Plant wrote the lyrics - after Page wrote the music – for Stairway to Heaven. This is the song that many folks say has Satanic verses when played backwards. It looks like Plant had some automatic writing taking place when he wrote the lyrics. It doesn’t look like he was looking for the writing – but that it just happened. Considering how they all played with the occult, I’m not surprised that something showed up.

“Robert described the ‘automatic’ nature of the lyric “I was just sitting there with Pagey in front of a fire at Headley Grange. Pagey had written the chords and played them for me. I was holding a paper and pencil, and for some reason, I was in a very bad mood. Then all of a sudden my hand was writing out words. ‘There’s a lady who’s sure, all that glitters is gold, and she’s buying a stairway to heaven.’ I just sat there and looked at the words and then I almost leaped out of my seat.” (Stephen Davis, Hammer of the Gods, p 164)

“He (Robert Plant) often remarked that he could feel his pen being pushed by some higher authority.” (Stephen Davis, Hammer of the Gods, p 262)

It should be noted that in most of the Led Zepplin = Devil Worshippers urban legends, Robert Plant is supposedly the only one of the band that did not sell his soul to the devil. (and I’m not sure how someone would actually go about doing that - does the devil have a little red phone in the underworld that rings when ever someone calls his name or something?)

This site is Christian and puts forth their argument as to why Led Zepplin is indeed a devil worshipping group. I am not endorsing their argument, but am posting for general information as to why some feel that the group is demonic.
