1990 trial


During the 1990 civil action brought against the band, "Exciter" was played backwards to the court. Lead vocalist Rob Halford demonstrated that, when played in reverse, the song appeared to contain the phrase: "I asked for a peppermint, I asked for her to get one."[6] This action showed that by playing any song in reverse, phrases could be formed by the human brain. The same point applied to "Better by You, Better than Me", which had a sound that could be interpreted as "do it".

«Exciter» — песня английской хэви-метал- группы Judas Priest из их альбома 1978 года Stained Class. Музыкальные исследователи считают эту песню одной из предвосхитителей спид-метала[1]. По словам бывшего гитариста группы К. К. Даунинга, их барабанщик Лес Бинкс случайно придумал ударное интро песни во время саундчека в их туре в поддержку альбома Sin After Sin.[2]
