every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word emerged from the. coaches in germany to learn german why not play with him simple online on your mobile and free stuff d w z e learning course nikos fi german made easy. one night in 1955 a prophet of the modern times called elvis presley rocked the world of rock n roll to television and he converted off on a generation of young people craving thrills. it was out of this world i had never heard anything like it in fact no one had.

to score some people said who's this guy who sings like a black man and dances like he's having sex scene just. summing up in mccartney's words he said he's the messiah in this. class for me for religious fundamentalists in the southern united states there is only one messiah the heretic and his music must be condemned reasons don't rock n roll music why average against it or not believe that it is a contributing factor to our juvenile delinquency up today why are believe that is because i know how it be when you think i know what it does to. you know even

feeling that you feel when you think that you are and there was a fiercely anti rock and roll movement because they were convinced it was the devil's music. there were church interventions to prevent that music from being played many concerts were banned as a limitation. why blame rock n roll for being the devil's music. particularly bent on preserving its values and keeping within certain bounds whatever oversteps those bounds will be the devil's doing it so hard to do it. at the end of the beginning god gazed upon the earth with contentment he called his favorite angel lucifer and showed him his completed work behold the perfection i have created he said proudly. scanning the creation lucifer

replied taking a closer look i'm afraid we'll be bored and. outraged by such disrespect god rashly cast him away challenging the angel to do better than him on the 7th day when god rested lucifer would become the devil sistani opportunity to present to humanity that god will not soon forget he said let there be rock and there was rock n roll. and do luck on rollers. derived from the blues and the blues is the music of blacks

so that in itself was bad and their logic is a naturally these white people fall threatens because their little world was disrupted is a closeness to. the blues is a profane music that developed far from the churches in the brothels where blacks would trade a chance of a turn all salvation for terrestrial pleasures. from the blues rock n roll also when heritage and dark legend spread by singer robert johnson. he was boasting that one night he had made a pact with the devil. exchange for his soul he had supposedly received the power of putting audiences under the spell of his guitar. all that at that story of the crossroads in the devil that's when robert johnson turned from a lousy musician into a musical genius. the most famous pact with the devil is that of good as fast as

you sell your soul in your life in exchange for a talent for coffee. robert johnson died from criminal poisoning in 1938 in his body was dumped in a common grave as if the devil would eventually taken revenge on. the devil is said to act not only on the musician but on music itself it has allegedly taken the form of a note in a musical scale the blue note a diminished 5th semitone with the suppose that homelessness. is the magical stuff that seems to. it's a transition it's the no we swear. it's the boat has been up to you or you bad for a while you just pass it in a phrase it's. it's the it's the naughty it's the it's the girl in the very

short skirt in a crowded place you see and then she's go it's a note it's supposed to induce a trance to bring you swing and joy in short all the unthinkable feelings a sort of diabolical note. and when that magical note is mixed with the red hot rhythms of rock'n'roll satanic forces grab hold of body and mind if you talk to the average up today and you ask them what it is about rock n roll music that they like i don't think they'll be ready for the. rhythm is paramount rhythm meaning you're carried away swept off your feet but you experience the same feeling to the arts to dance to swing your hips and your legs you know what the authorities dislike and dancing is a rhythm that escapes all control a little bit like bluto it's frightening it must be the devil that makes you jiggle around like that for you. is

a puritans it's blatant the devil is using rock music to manipulate the minds and bring about his own revolution. if you look at the etymology of the word itself rock what does it mean it means to shake to one side and in order to overpower when you lead revolutions you have to jostle people so if you want to rebel you take the opposite stance and claim your right to be different. it's what heavy metal rock music is best at stating that difference. bands with names such as black sabbath ac d.c. or even judas priest this music invites its fans to take the road to hell. course many rockers have played with. i suppose that collusion with the devil.

rockers play with the image of satan because it makes for beautiful imagery you have crosses trinkets bones you have a slightly horrific touch to it all so the devil helps to sell the devil is a sales asset. in their efforts to win over the more followers than start one upping each other. when the i'm not in if somebody heads a sheep on stage the next band must be had to ship as you always have to go one step further in a way and yes i think it's a marketing strategy to start digging. through the. course outlandish staging is key to the visual style that goes with this type of music. and that's what attracts young people i think. as i said hard metal and

even rock music more generally have to piss off goody goody people a little there must be some semblance of provocation. but traditionalist christians refuse to believe that the devil is nothing but a puppet used to frighten self-righteous believers convinced that satan is the real puppet master of rock n roll they keep crusading to protect the young from its evil doings to swallow look there are demands on you when you feel homesick also who knew some for medical journal. only if you want to do most of the month so in short i'm eating junk yes you have it for. you. also they need. to be normal like if you made a mistake and move on. in 1909 some see their beliefs reflected in news stories and accuse marilyn manson of being an influence on the 2 perpetrators of the cause. unbind high school massacre. but they

needed some sort of scapegoat because it was something that was so shocking to america and the rest of the world at the time and they needed an explanation of why and i seem like an easy person to blame for not settling manson never called for murder otherwise his songs would have been suppressed by the law and censored and banned beyond that there is what people want to retain from lyrics people appropriate lyrics and use them any way they want. not sure there are many people today who care for the messages and words conveyed by certain artists which may or may not be provoking actually because primarily you listen to that music words energy. momentarily that music unable to let go. well. fundamentalists staunchly believe the opposite they are convinced that there are hidden satanic messages in the songs that you can hear them if you play the record

backwards it's called back masking father by champions these views. on a music rock n roll. got to do when they say there's been back mask and what they say is those lyrics that you listen to are so beautiful once you play them backwards you realize that their oats the devil. stairway to heaven would conceal praises to satan. so you should pop back i don't think that led zeppelin wrote stairway to heaven. that they wrote those words that would sound like. the play the other way it would produce extremely sophisticated pieces poems almost as beautiful as keats or shelley it seems absurd but that's the i. dia. the beatles are suspected of

doing that too in their song revolution 9 father makes his point. i don't want to be. number number. in reverse speech you're supposed to hear turn me on dead man. i think. you can. literally scrutinizing the words listening to the music it's endless so you want to prove which has been done by the way that the bible is a book entirely written by the devil you can. see that's how it is people can say anything they want and they managed to do it yet you. believe down separation conservatives appeal to public authority. we are asking the recording industry to

voluntarily parents who are concerned by placing a warning label on music products inappropriate for younger children due to explicit sexual or violent lyrics. finally christians organized themselves enough to start putting stickers on albums to warn parents that there might be words in the songs of those albums that might induce deviant behavior in their children you know the. rock lyrics that turn from i can't get no satisfaction to i'm going to force you at gunpoint to eat me alive. they convinced the authorities to stamp the covers of albums deemed dangerous with a parental advisory explicit content labeled heavy metal albums are 1st in line. and fact it only keeps away people who are already opposed to that trend rather on the other side from buying these records. so when you're a rocker and by definition you're for shaking the established order and system seeing that stick. or actually means by me i mean listen the artistic use of

a new cell is a double edged sword it's just good publicity that you make for these albums. however there is a musical genre for which the satanic background is more than provocation and becomes an agenda black metal. black when done for black metal is a subgroup of heavy metal it was formed in the 1980 s. and became popular in the ninety's mostly because of the norwegian scene and criminal acts that made them famous such as the burning of churches and murders. also for acts strongly popularized black metal this black metal and their stuff but was able to to griffith's call it at the national mall scum dollar. in fact some

members of that norwegian scene gathered in a sectarian anti christian group called the black metal inner circle. in nearly $990.00 s. they ransacked and burned down around 50 churches. like oh yeah i mean it's true that there were acts that followed up on the very satanist spirit of their music to me that's what gave a sort of mythic touch to that norwegian scene which on top of that came from a rather pagan background so all the ingredients were there to make that music a truly evil experience. most of these extremists were arrested and in 1906 the inner circle was dissolved. no what's all calmed down and now you see a black metal scene for their norwegian swedish or whatever as there's black metal made all over the world now you see something much more controlled more organized.

funny looks like many other music styles everywhere. you're not into acting out anymore. and satanist provocation is not truly threatens religion what religion should fear most is how rock'n'roll tends to challenge its authority and its place in society. 66 john lennon declared christianity will go it will shrink and then we are more popular than jesus now. the church immediately replied to the voice of minister allan montgomery. i think. the basis of statistics and. his statement is true no one is more popular than.

when john lennon said we are more popular than christ it meant transco to concert halls rather than to church or to sunday mass. it means that with young people there was more excitement to john lennon's music than to go to mass to listen to words that were 2000 years old he's not saying that it's a good thing it's just a statement of fact and something stuck. in the end it wasn't rock music that caused that loss of interest in religion that's just how it was it was a sort of evolution of society. in order to avenge that blasphemy

some christians from the bible belt in the us rekindled the anti rock music. and when fundamentalists are angry there are calls to burn the heretic so reluctant to teenagers to throw away their treasured beatles possessions was the ku klux klan with bonfires of books on records this woman's of longview texas they seized the opportunity to show their christian feel so. there's a huge wave of protest radio stations would no longer air the album it's often the records were burnt to the k.k.k. was involved in that scheme they said we have to fight these people typical of the religious bigotry in american society where if you had believers the heat was on the beatles were statements used. to be did. you have said. yes i did i was helping. my record company insisted john lennon apologize which he actually did and then things fell

back into place but still he was forced to apologize. i'm not saying it went great. i. just don't want to run. the thread caused by this controversy is one of the reasons the beatles stopped giving concerts. if john lennon had not intended to offend the clergy in 1970 ian anderson of jethro tull openly criticized the church in his song my god on the opera long album. i suppose i was probably more inspired by the rich tapestry of catholicism with lots of you know ground. aspects of. what to me are close to idolatry really because it's going a little over the.

according to ian anderson the church makes use of a sham god in the artwork inside the album he even stages himself as a deaf a creator. i always felt that it wasn't necessary to go into into a church or any place of worship in order to experience spirituality and i feel more or less the same today i think you can find that spiritual connection in you know you might find it in a sort or you might find it in a. finer than a sex shop i mean who knows there's a boundless possibilities for connecting with the world of spirituality in the broad sense.

i'm not anti religion but i criticized as i was continued to criticize not the church so much as some of the people whose. degree of power and control that they have within. the hierarchy of the clergy isn't always to my liking but yes the church like any. society should be open to criticism. rock'n'roll clearly rolls much more against the religious dogmas imposed by the various churches than against religion itself or spirituality spirituality is always unique by nature and universal unique. it isn't such a spiritual quest that the beatles traveled to india aiming to revitalize their souls surrounding themselves with gurus and beating in the future refining ganges

river. at the same time in california the same question spires the hippie counter-culture together young people are looking for another model of society built on values of sharing of peace and bluffs. let's. all this reflects an urge for change and at the same time a call to spirituality. and this new gospel spreads like wildfire through the music and the concerts which draw even larger crowds of followers. the etymology of religion comes from the latin really jazz which means to bring together in this case bring people together at some point religion no longer brings people together but what's a lead in lid on their existence whereas rock music does bring them together just

in that it becomes a new religion people go to concerts together live together have fun together come together venal songs and musical songs. in those years fans and musicians used to commune by taking l.s.d. the chemical way for that gave psychedelic overtones to the music. groups you get in this sort of psychedelic movement appears 1st of all because some writers get interested in l.s.d. and remember l.s.d. was a legal drug back then it wasn't pretty but it will be anything but. you can continue 296465 timothy leary began to write about his experiences with l.s.d. and musicians read his books and started thinking it would strike smell as t 2 and

they got i because l.s.d. makes you feel like you're flying it makes you see colors and lights. because the drugs work as a modifier of perspective so when they smoke joints when they drop acid they see the world differently they sense that there are many possible variations of this world. this say they try to explore it's what the doors did try and look what's behind the door break on through to the other side. that exploration goes so far that some rockers are convinced that l.s.d. and their music elevate the song. columbus oh you can definitely say that because to me music comes to the soul and

speaks to the so in shorts music which comes from someone's inner soul was also fun the souls of other people of the audience. just. teflon music and to prove a music has always been the vehicle used in all religions use it with you and there is not one religion where music is not used. precisely to touch souls and to sing together with others points to be in communion with others think. some use issues are convinced that their music has the holy power to reconnect with god. this is why the grateful dead felt they were sent on a mission to lead a spiritual revolution and why jimi hendrix would refer to his art as electric church music. and so all of the churches are bypassed intermediaries are no longer needed singing is enough at one point to put us in direct contact with the

divine directive all. on top of supplanting religion rock music also dares to canonize its own saints. to themselves all of it is if you had a limb cut off it is if you find yourself at a loss and it stays that way even 40 years later you still feel like you have lost a part of yourself also the. ducted one question. the very day of presley's death colonel parker who was his manager said that elvis was dead but business went on so the torch had to keep burning the flag that we were. to indulge his passion for elvis. founded a fan club which now has thousands of members. and very quickly people

asked us for much more so we started to run events we invited elvis's former musicians over we made trips to. the u.s. was gratian. the celebrities from. the climax of that journey is to go to graceland the king's mansion to pay their respects. but after graceland is a part of elvis got the music and all but they want to feel closer to him. at the same time there is the dream taking the trip it's a full deal yet just he could be my sarah these commemorations fans walking their candlelight perceptions and so on. whenever anniversaries market decade they bring in tens of thousands of people.

people from all over the world organize tours to graceland and elvis pilgrimages. because that's what they are pilgrimages in one company not. along well there is nothing about you don't have a moment when the person suddenly i mean it's not a sect even if it's powerful it's not a sect at all she says before and said to her. i think it's fantastic out. and now they say that they did tell the swiss. it was a good. many sociologist said that the birth of the presently out religion came with elvis is death and it's a little similar to christianity because the christianity was born for centuries after the death of jesus from the time when it was taken up by people and they started working on a memory

a remembrance that maybe selective memory that may be partial you know it's the same with elvis presley in this question. the worshipping a few. that is has the power to create gods but under its trappings of a new fangled religion rock'n'roll remains haunted by it stevens. and some musicians are still afraid of triggering god's wrath. scoured pastor wild used to say i can resist everything except temptation and rockers don't resist temptation so the best way for them to save themselves from an untimely death is sometimes go back into the fold go back to the faith go back to god for some of their might be their soul chance of survival appeared. at the top of his career in 1957 little richard the brazen creator of the very

sexual tutti frutti song has a mystical vision on a flight to australia he says angels and a ball of fire hovering around the airplane he believes it's a divine apparition promising him to the flames of hell right then he gets up rock n roll and joins a school of preaching jedi throws all his jewels all his precious belongings into the river a gesture worthy of old popular imagery and then he turns to religion and puts an end to his musical career them. some of the many rockers return to religion because those are the values they were raised with so they remain ingrained in their psyches whether they like it or not 1st off. other rockers have followed on the path taken by little richard. it's the case of alice cooper dave mustaine leader of megadeth and of new comic

brian the iron maiden drummer in europe as well some rock n roll and black sheep are also walking back to the flock of christ. was directed. did you see beneath go to school you know it's a beauty but said you want to be able to say what is it to you did you. think you'd up. next and it was due to this because you became a measure nace. as if. you didn't. in his youth she followed another past a convert to punk and drugs he was known as. a singer in the rock band we got some pushing that rowdy band led by false weigel as a whole was a major player of the french alternative rock scene in the 1980 s. and ninety's was it that we didn't hear of a legacy was a godsend that could make a living with music travel abroad or i might never love trance it was

a beautiful experience when expelled in 1902 they bring out an iconic classic album entitled viacom a light of the noisy none which was not to everyone's taste. good news here they wouldn't let us play because they thought it was too provocative but we played anyway. though there were places where we were on wanted or in any case unwelcome. by the general. during the rock years experience is the tragic death of his loved one his lost drowning his sorrow and eventually finds comfort not in music but where he least expects it in a prayer book. i don't want to be printed or. to suck it up with a big company made our. shocked look as it wanted me to do souls and look at the past when it didn't just sit back and. watch as many faces i took if you'd be on much of it would you say you did no for. this encounter with christ saved him from

despair was if you come from a jesus happened very naturally there's no strategy underneath it's as simple as when i'm talking to you like when you said. i'd love you to someone you love it's exactly the same. thing that nobody. after that a tiffany he turned away from rock music to follow jesus and assist his fellow man . if some apostles of rock music go back to god it's above all to escape the curse ever since robert johnson's infamous fasti unpacked the rockers soul belongs to the devil legend has it that satan coming to claim his due cause the death of many musicians including jimi hendrix jim morrison brian jones janis joplin and more recently amy winehouse all of them like robert johnson dead at $27.00 which gave rise to the

club $27.00 legend he put called would you call the so-called cursed poets or cursed musicians you may really put them on the same level jardin of on board lair jimi hendrix or janis joplin or amy winehouse now so they are people capable of bringing so much beauty but their daily lives are so turbulent to do they have addictions it's disaster after disaster so long as it makes you always someone is a. real hawk at the last ice rock n roll tends to gradually ring these musicians dry it's very demanding very exhausting. finally killed many of its practitioners at an early age i guess. but even if rock n roll took the lives of its missionaries it succeeded in winning

a mass following in order to recover its ascendancy the church has tried to capture the power of its longtime rival and harness it to disseminate god's word that's chris. rock was before. the government comes economic logic to entertain making music to entertain people i think we know how to do that but over time we realize that music is also made to carry messages to carry spirituality. but music is not just a string of notes but also has something deeper some musicians may not be aware of that but we are. so the church sold its soul to the devil's music. i think that god has created music in order to be honored he's created everything that's what i believe he's created this earth all

the planets and he is the one who was created music. says seriously there are people who listen to that. well i guess there are. yes the must of rockers the sex drugs and rock'n'roll but for others the motto of our music is love love love is love love love. love love love it's only natural because christian rock appeared in the 1960 s. played on the guitars of hippie musicians who believe they recognize the smarts in their acid trips and flower power. elite take their cues appropriate or jesus is a rock star because in the end he's almost a naked character no one has got long hair and the common representation he's on

armed poses roman rule challenges the authorities he's alone his unique and he's got the rather cool beatnik side to him jesus is a rather trendy guy. i. christen rockers deny the belief that rock'n'roll is the devil's music and launched the jesus movement. in the end the most beautiful words in the world christ's words are love one another it boils down to that fundamental sentence and we have to get back to that message. like elvis is rock christian rock also moves into more extreme genres such as christian metal. it's now the turn of rock'n'roll to be desecrated by religion which starts using

the gloomy magic of heavy metal in spite of its rehabilitation of an old demonic chord from the middle ages to try telling. that to the trying to own is a musical interval spanning 3 whole tones which in classical music was the symbol of the devil and the causation was like the same boldest toy when it sounded as many it meant that the demon was coming for instance on stage. and heavy metal like that sound for the same reasons and get out to the can. in the middle ages playing that organ the church would condemn you to the fires of hell. cause the fall state of this is it i mean i'm cold you see all this very melancholy form of harmony frighten people but music itself is never diabolic to finish. school convinced that metal rock has nothing demonic

ministers somewhere who as chosen to make it a literature called music he founded the metal church which mixes my. ass and concert metal church this is metal church is an attempt to form a church for lovers of metal and hard rock. before the concert we do a service because we need it you some video feeds into place in the americas and it's very important for the people who come here to create that connection with the between christian faith and the metal culture and the metal called to. oh never. fluffier to keep up the facts 40. 7 seems. to me from a metal music is the music of my heart and i think that jesus christ keeps my heart

ticking he says can also be baked so i do everything i can to make that to work in harmony. i. i go to a traditional church and i tend to mass but here it's more open sure you can follow your faith and your style as you are in charge there is prejudice against metal heads you're not really accepted but here it's different you can be who you are and i can share my music tastes with other people you know if this makes it. through a lot of hard rock like satanist black metal is to me like one counter culture attracting another busy better number of artists to be fed up with religion bashing and decide to promote it is in my eyes as worthy as those who like to challenge it and find that there are many things that may look a little out of phase with their image but at the end of the day these extreme styles of music are just one big melting pot of cultures.

the sea is converting to rock'n'roll as well. 2014 pope francis invited patti smith to sing at the vatican for the nativities concert the singer who claimed in her youth that her only religion was rock n roll very willingly agreed to on of the invitation like like. the friends. but with how francis gracing the cover of rolling stone magazine 1 may wonder if rock n roll has sold its soul to god. the whole community fights to the rock music will disappear because it's played its role so it's historic role it's revolution happened it can't repeat itself 10 times that's why all those revivals are lousy events i hate them you hold with rock n roll is now accepted by everyone along with

all their other consentual types of music. today's rock music is bourgeois because everybody likes rock music to move them to hold. the devil's music played in the vatican it's hard to say who finally won the duel between them for the last 60 years. maybe some rock music has lost its demonic nature but it has also allowed society as a whole to change it to keep it begs the enemies of the principle that rock n roll has always fought for freedom.
