Ever since the first song was made, since the first person hummed a tune or clapped their hands, the devil has been intrinsically linked with music, and his claws continue to sink into the world of rock<\/a>.<\/p>\n With every riff, solo, and screeching vocal, the close-minded had images of the devil conjured up \u2013 eventually, rock ended up taking ownership of such imagery, as bands like AC\/DC would wear devil horns when they took to the stage; meanwhile, songs would contain themes of fire, flames, and all things devilish.\u00a0<\/p>\n Roger Waters, when talking about the band that changed his life the most, made reference to these hellish comparisons. The Pink Floyd member isn\u2019t alone in his adoration for Led Zeppelin, and when he was talking about what made the band great, he focused on their flamboyance by speaking first about\u00a0the vocal stylings of Robert Plant<\/a>, and then about the guitar legend, who is Jimmy Page.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe sex god with the glory of the halo around his head, the hair, you know?\u201d, he said, \u201cAnd you had, if I may say so, the son of the devil on guitar.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n It might seem like a harmless figure of speech, but there were people who genuinely thought that rock music had been infiltrated by the devil, and that Led Zeppelin was an example of as much, and there was some logic behind this, as the bible says that we have God to thank for our vocal abilities, but then the leader of God\u2019s choir (Lucifer) fell from heaven and turned songs against the divine.\u00a0<\/p>\n In Ezekiel 28:13, it\u2019s said, \u201cThe workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created\u201d \u2013 this essentially meant that the musical ability of an individual was given to them by God, explaining why so many religious people opt to sing praise songs, and also explains why they think that those who worship the devil would do something similar.\u00a0<\/p>\n The be-all and end-all is that Led Zeppelin rocked too hard<\/a>, and that\u2019s why so many people thought that they must have made some kind of deal with the devil. No humans were able to rock so hard without divine intervention, and the devilish nature of rock music and how people align metal with hell meant that a lot of onlookers thought there must have been some kind of foul play going on. <\/p>\n
