You don't have to play the song backwards as there are lots of satanic lyrics woven into the lyrics when played straight forward.Page was into that Crowley fag sadly.Lots of zeps songs have satanic stuff in them WHEN PLAYED STRAIGHT and not backwards!!! They also have satanic images on their albums.
Of course all of this sucks to me being a big zep fan and definately no a fan of the dark one.

stairway to heaven is definately overplayed anyways and the solo is way overrated - it's not even anywhere near his best
