  • Its funny because better by you better than me is originally written by Spooky Tooth, not Judas Priest, they didn't write it so if there's "do its" in there, which there fuckin isn't, blame Spooky Tooth hahaha

  • What I want to know is, did they consider the psychology of the two boys initially and the strength of their relationship with eachother, and were they just trying to find someone to blame for taking part in such an absurdly violent act. I think there's always an agentic shift in these cases because the boy didn't want to take responsibility for his own actions, it's just the same as the Ozzy case, people always trying to blame someone else for their own ridiculous actions.

  • i heard it but not enough to go to court 4!!!

  • What a load of bullshit! I can't believe it went to court! Fuckin' americans!!!

  • Did he play it backwards?? All I heard was forward

  • I did'it hear the words do it

  • Must kill Justin Bieber

  • I can't hear anything.

  • so considering the Nike motto is currently: "Just Do It", they should be expecting lawsuits from every sports player who over-exerts themselves in practice and during games? stupid

  • 29,666 views. I'm fucking scared.

  • Anyone LOOKING for hidden messages will find what ever they believe! Metal is not a secret! It's in your heart and soul. Priest is a good thing, embrace it, love it, live it!!!!!!

  • If those two morons would have robbed a bank instead, and nobody would have gotten hurt, the judge at this trial would have laughed his ass off.

  • This whole case was ridiculous, beyond ridiculous. Two trailer trash rednecks got drunk to the point of oblivion and decided to waste themselves, and their families decided to go for the cash money by blaming their idiot spawns' behavior on two fucking words "DO IT" that might have been audible if you played the record backward. Good fucking grief.

  • i dont hear it at all

  • i suddenly have the urge to make a sandwhich,i shall DO IT!

  • ok, i love judas priest, amazing band. but im a die hard heavy metal fan, death metal, black metal, doom metal, speed metal fan... if music was even possible to influence someone to commit suicide, id like to point you to a far more "evil" and heinous type of music.... Cannibal corpse is one of the most demonic bands, and they are my favorite band, love em till i die, some of their shit is messed up, but when i listen to em, i feel at home, feel like ya im loving life . not. fuck man.. shoot me

  • @FLuffyT14 Cannibal Corpse aren't really demonic... I'd probably point towards a Black metal band if you want something demonic. Cannibal Corpse' lyrics are just fucking messed up.

  • i have terrible hearing from soo much music so i may be wrong, but is it actually a guitar riff that they are claiming is the subliminal message? or am i just not hearing correctly

  • The human imagination is easily manipulated. Listen first without reading anything and you won't hear shit. Then hear the suggestions about subliminal messages, listen again and you might hear vague shit. And really? "Do it" was their case? Ok. I'll do it. I'll do the laundary. I'll do your mom. I'll do suicide. Were it not so tragic, the case would be hilarious. A groupd of dumbfucks want to use "Do it" as their case. pffft. Please

  • They made sure that this didn't happen again.

  • I also noticed that after this trial Rob and the band changed up the way they did there music. It was no longer slow and heavey like the Better by you better than me song. It was a little faster and his way of singing seemed to change as well. It is still Judas Priest but it is different now.

  • This was not played backwards it was played forwards. I have tried to do the same thing with less expenssive equipment and got the same results.. Anyways it can sound like anything when you listen to it hard enough and long enough. That being said, I do think that reverse speech does occur in music when it it played backwards. The singers personal feeling about the subject comes out when he sings it forward but you hear it when it is backwards.

  • even if you hear "do it", WTF am i sapposed to "DO"

    sitting at home thinking about going to the movies,,,,,do it, okay. like wtf killing them selves had to be in their mind all reddy

  • Man, after watching this video, i get a strange need to kill myself...what to do? BULSHIT!!!!

  • "If you sit around playing your albums backwards, you ARE Satan" - Bill Hicks

  • @JoeyDrunko right..because hicks is god and allowed to make up his own sin, right?

  • Um....you DO realize that the main song playing here is "Beyond The Realms Of Death" and NOT "Better By You, Better Than Me" right?

  • If you need audio experts to locate the subliminal message, how he fuck do you expect a couple of deranged teenagers to do it?

  • I don't hear Rob Halford say do it

  • The Pmrc and bunch of conservatives like to exagerate that everything is evil. Evil has been going on since the beginning of this earth. the song says do it. do what?

  • dont care dont give a fuck this songs kool, even without the knowing of the engineering or what they call it behind the song

  • oh my god... i hear "do it" but i dont know what i have to do D: (sarcasm, i didnt hear anything)

  • yeah that's it, i can't take it any more so I'm gonna cap myself. not because i listern to heavy metal, because people are so f**king retarded and the media and television controls and creates ignorant right wing extremophiles.

    nah not really

  • they use to think Elvis was evil for shacking his hips lol

  • McKenna is biggest shit in the whole world. Such stupid arrogant fucker. Kids should have blasted his face off.

  • You can say it's media bull shit all you like, but it's a fact you can get subliminal messages through backtracks, the mind sub conciously takes it in, obviously you'd have to listen to it many times for the message to come through so well that you want to do exactly what they say, it's similar to the techniques used hypnotism, this is fact :)

  • @runerockgod7 You do know that hypnotism only makes you a little more open to suggestion, right?

    You have to already kind of want to do the things.

  • @yerfdog1935 true but just cause your on the edge all ready doesn't mean that what helped push you wasn't in some way responsible.

  • @runerockgod7 It's still them choosing. You can't really blame an artist for putting "subliminal messages" in it that someone interprets as something, intentional messages or unintentional.

  • whats the song at 0:50?

  • @Krazlo Beyond the realms of death

  • be right back ...im going to kill myself now ;)

  • I got high and drunk and blasted this song with a bunch of buddies i asked them wanna get a gun and blow our faces off? the said no I said i was only joking

  • @25Chevyguy

    Cool story bro

  • I don't hear it and DO IT could mean anything hahaha stupid assholes

  • If it makes American kids blow their heads off,Its fine by me.

  • @England5is5the5best you are a DUMB FUCK!! 2 retards DOESN'T account for ALL the thousands of Judas priest fans in America.

    YOU DUMB FUCK!!

  • @MetalHeart8787 "Do it","Do it","Do it"

  • @England5is5the5best if ill do anything

    it would be Punching you in the Fuckin Face!

    SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

  • @MetalHeart8787 How you gonna do that keyboard warrior?

  • i dont hear it....

  • :21 and :26 it's pretty clear in the back ground

  • @Darkit2099 "Do it" ,soldier boy.

  • @England5is5the5best I ain't no disgusting ass soldier

  • I did not hear "do it" at all...

  • we the people .... R just too stupid for oxygen

  • this court case is retarded, its obvious the kids were fucked in the head way earlier before this bulshit with them killing themselves

  • I heard do it but do what?buy jp records?

  • No way can you say they didn't write this song!!!

    So different!! Priest!!! I'm Out!!

  • i couldnt belive this its not thier fault at all for those who dont understand what im talking about two kids listen to this and thought killing themselves was the answer to life and thats why they were sued

  • wow this is fucking retarded

  • Well do what? Take a shower? Shave your head? Get a tattoo? Go shopping? Rock out? Party? C'mon, man!

  • @RevivedGuy808 It doesn't. It is really about a soilder going to war and telling a friend what to tell his lover because he may not make it back. Spooky Tooth said so.

  • they probably woud have had a better case if the album cover was the 'subliminal message'

  • They were smoking POT

  • do it? that means mow the fucking lawn,do your homework and clean your room. do it! do it now! uh oh im soooo getting sued!-good luck

  • Les parents doivent surveiller ce que leurs enfants écoutent.

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm loading my shotgun right now!!

  • I think if your listening to a song normally and your not thinking of killing yourself you will not play a record/tape/cd backwards slow , etc. unless your looking for some lame excuse to kill yourself. RETARDED! If Rob Halford or other bands wanted someone to kill themselves they'd just say it. All in all if you look for stupid messages in songs then just go and kill yourself instead of blaming a song.

  • I don't get it ....

    1 which artist wants his audience dead...

    2 What high tech equipment ... they reversed te song

    3 Its a cover ( BBYBTM) why don't sue the original artist?

  • @cliffthelightning good points :D

  • This is such a joke. They put this song on trial when theres a song about suicide five songs down on the album.

  • What is the name of the song? not better by you than better than me, the other one after?

  • get it

  • @andreasahl beyond the realms of death

  • Metal cannot be defeated!

  • I JUST heard, only JUST. And anyways, it sounded more like dew-eh. :/

    Well bang goes that theory.

  • You heard the man, DO IT BITCHES! BTW, i've resad history on two boys who illed themselves, they had a history of drug abuse, and when they killed themsekves they were smoking pot. and only one committed suicide, the other died in hospital 2 years later.

  • i heard "hoo-haa"

  • just do it! ahhh crap now nike is gettin sued.

  • DO IT BITCHES!

  • oh my god i heard it. i guess i should go kill myslef.

  • This is complete bullshit. I don't know if my "source" (other youtube vids =P) are correct, but apparently they had been drinking before they shot themselves. Now, I'm the last one to say nobody should drink, but COME ON! The parents were too retarded to think of that before they blamed the band?

    Even if they weren't drinking, mabye it's the parents fault? Ever think of that? Mabye they were shitty parents, and the kid couldn't "take it" anymore.

    Fuck. People suck.

  • @justforthelulzzz "20-year old James Vance and 18-year old Raymond Belknap in Reno, Nevada, USA.[12] On December 23, 1985, Vance and Belknap, after hours of drinking beer, smoking marijuana and allegedly listening to Judas Priest music, went to a playground at a church in Reno with a 12-gauge shotgun to end their lives. "

    I found that on the bads wikipedia page xD they were stoned and drunk and listening to Judas priest xD

  • @OMGZORROHAXX

    LOL that's what I mean. People can be retarded.

  • Sophisticated technology??? All we need is Audacity! It's the same nowadays but it's with games "oh I rob someone and got caught I think I'll blame it on GTA IV!"

  • Where in the song do they say Do it backwards in that reverse...

  • Backwards people play albums backwards. I love my Priest-albums the right way, and they certanly do not temt me to kill or commit suicide. Twats blame music, movies, comics and soforth, instead of dealing with the real issues behind tragedies. And let's face it: "Do it!" is a request to make your own brekfast, innit?

  • So did they also analyze the drugs these two sicko's may have been on, or the lifestyles they may have led? And why they were playing a record backwards? Sorry, it's just a stupid statement to say listening to a record backwards and hearing "do it" (which I didn't even hear) would make someone go out and kill themselves..Okay..

  • Songs aren't meant to be played backwards.

  • Exactly...

  • actually there is one that HAS to be played backwards in order to hear a clear message which is the Lord's Prayer.

    Check it out, it's called Dinner at the deviant's palace, by cradle of filth

  • HORSE SHIT! Thanks for exposing American propoga Lawyers. Me as an American have been trying to put these assholes in their place, The Toilet with the assholes.

    Many USA fans are and have been upset over this...please forgive our gvt. in this regard.

  • i could hear something but it didnt sound like "DO IT"

  • This just proves how stupid the media is.

  • @metallistout amen to that \m/

  • @metallistout what do you expect, 90 % of them are liberal !!!

  • @theshaggyshow I wish everyone else saw that view. The Media is stupid and very liberal and people have no idea that they are being brainwashed by the media.

  • @metallistout the media Was MORE on Judas priest side!!

    including MTV wake the FUCK UP

  • @MetalHeart8787 That's not true. There was a majority of the media that were not siding with Priest. And why the hell do you say "Wake the Fuck Up". I grew up during the 80's and tv would portray metal heads as satanists all of the time. Geraldo Rivera even did a show on it in 88 or 89 and every mother in my neighborhood was raising hell about us kids listening to heavy metal.

  • @metallistout well i was there also, grew up in the 80's & many people thought it was Horseshit. true he did a show on it & so did Mortin downy But they weren't "Against it" in My Neighborhood there was NO moms agaisnt Metal either.

    did people say stuff? yeah but they were proving Wrong all the time I had my mom LISTEN to some of the songs & READ the Lyrics. its Not always the media.

    as i said MTV was on there side.

  • @metallistout No,It proves how stupid Americans are,No way,Would it have got to court in my country.

  • @England5is5the5best

    Whatever man. You have tons of laws that we don't have. We have millions of people from England and many other countries that come here to start a business, because of the opportunities that we have here. I wasn't slamming your country, but I could come up with countless ways to slam yours. Why do you feel it necessary to talk shit about America? I was only pointing out that the mainstream media was a joke and that this should have never even went to court.

  • @metallistout America is a bad joke on the rest of the world.

  • @England5is5the5best You guys are a lily pad in the water that just one of our Nukes could destroy within seconds. Plus we drove your "empire" out almost 250 years ago and all you guys can claim over here is a little piece of Canada. WEAK>

  • @metallistout don't listen to this British PUSSY hes a chav & an anti American

    Retard, that doesn't know OR like the fact we are Strong allies & many of our shows & music has influenced Millions. But im Not gonna deny Englands Great music & things either. its pretty Fuckin Sad that some British people feel the need to insult US, But most Americans like & respect UK.

  • @MetalHeart8787 I totally respect the UK and most of Europe. I just can't stand when people feel the need to bash other countries. I'm proud of the country that I live in and feel lucky to live in a country that I have the freedom to pretty much do anything.

  • @MetalHeart8787 Some British people hate Americans. Some Americans hate British people. It's just like that. When you encounter people like this 'england5is5the5best', just ignore them.

  • @ToaJoe Not that easy it beyond pisses me off. especially on a Band like this & all that we support from England. Like to see someone say this shit to my Face. yeah i know Ignore them

  • @MetalHeart8787 I see plenty of Americans saying that the UK sucks- I realise these people are just dumbasses so I ignore them. No point getting angry over them- that will let them win.

  • @ToaJoe I don't believe for a single solitary second that we are even as good as the U.K., let alone better than it. Granted, the U.K.'s got it's problems, too, but people there are generally better educated and more astute than the ignorant multitudes here. At least the U.K. seems to take better care of its people. I mean, I've never been there, but that's the way it seems from here.

  • @BobCubTAC I can tell you support either social democracy or liberalism. If so, I can see why you prefer the UK government. We are definitely more left wing. It's a result of the wars, when our island was under threat of invasion, and war socialism was used. America is only 250 years old, and has not been involved in a war that threatens their country directly, so a certain social maturity has not yet been reached. Hopefully Obama's health care bill will improve things.

  • @ToaJoe 'Tis true; I do. The vast majority of Western Europe is ruled by social democracy. Social democracies tend to have much more stable shelf-lives than our countries. But it's not just them...hell, WE were pretty much a social democracy (albeit a lighter version of one) from 1932-1980, before Reagan took over and began the current 30-year (and counting) period of laissez-faire, de-regulatory, "let 'em eat cake" policies that have led us down the road to ruin today. Cheers.

  • @MetalHeart8787 i agree this doesnt really do diplomacy any favours ill be the first to admit though that there is alot of things about the US that bugs me and its not anything majorly bad just little things like your political system is treated like some sort of gameshow also i dont understand how you can have the biggest economy in the world and yet get so little out of it maybe we in the UK have just been a bit spoilt. lol at the fact the scummy word Chav has now made it to the states XD.

  • @pocos01 You got some points mate!! It is a bit of a joke out here in america ville.It is Disney world in a way. I have to say it is getting a bit out of hand. Many of us though,are not stupid about politics,or what is really going on out there in this fucked up world.I really do think that we need our English brothers to set us strait on many of occasions,and give us the up the ass sign now and then.We are a rebel state in a crazy way.I live here,and still do not understand my countryUKROCKRULS

  • In the discription how can you not include stairway thats prob the most famous backtracker

  • bunch of bull if you ask me

  • WTF I can't hear shit !!! Where does it say Do it ??? Im not hearing that someone help me out

  • it says do it @ 0:26 if you listen close u can hear it

  • yeah your right

  • i didnt hear shit.

    anything backwards sounds like something. i can speak backwards.

    like tissue, pronounced backwards sounds like "ooo shit!"

  • sophisticated technology... i think its called reversing the track... >.> ... whatevaaaar bullshit anyways Judas rox!!!

  • sometimes you need to read between the lines.

  • Subliminal messages are everywhere.

    Unless you know what it is, then they control you.

    Cases like this happened alot.

    Key words, "Do it" are a mild version

    I believe in them

    Think about it. Theyre everywhere

  • The Other Song Sounds Like One By Metallica...

  • theres no such thing as ''subliminal'' messengein

    , music is what you make of it , what i think is good

    some1 may think bad and another may think

    ''um , better go shoot myself den aint i >?''

    NO SUCH THING AS S.M case closed

  • What's the song they played? The other one.

  • Beyond the Realms of Death

  • they didn't even write this song.... Gary Writght from dream weaver fame and the 70s' band spooky tooth did!

  • @robertnu07 true, both versions are good tho.

  • I didn't hear shit

  • There is not really any backmasking in this song.

    Check out: The Bottom Line On Backmasking

    for the 411 and the 911 on that topic.

    I havent heard this in a LONG ass time but I use to love this Song! Learning the guitar solos at a young age really helped me skills.

    Listening to it now its kind of Cheesy but it was nice back then!

    Thx for the effort,

  • do it can mean anything. The supposed "do it" was Halford's exhalation of breath and a guitar riff

  • the last part reversed here is from beyond the realms of death...not better by you beter than me

  • Damn i live a couple of blocks away from the church they shot themselves in Reno Nevada. My parents knew them 2.

  • Well i'd say that u should come and say that to my face u fucker!! i fucking dare u!! bitch!!

  • his name isn't JUDAS PRIEST, you ignorant gnat

  • do it ? do what exactly what a bunch of asses

  • hahaha "using sophisticated technology, audio experts isolated and analyzed the words do it."

    nowadays anyone can reverse a song in less than a minute

  • plus what teenage boy had sophisticated audio technology 20 years ago!

    haha! i feel sorry for the people who commited suicide but blaming it on this song is ridiculous.

  • In the words of Bill Hicks,

    If your playing records backwards looking for subliminal messages - You are Satan,

  • "Do it" could be sexual

  • I heard " It can take for eva and eva and eva but I (I'd)do it.... and at the very end you can hear "eeennnd this life"? hmmm lol....those are some baaaadass solos either way proven not guilty! on the grounds of being pure Metal

  • I guess Nike should be sued for "Just Do It"

  • @ShingoEX hahahah!! yeah, you're right!

  • This was the stupidest court case ever.

    Those fucking parents couldn't accept that their kids didn't want to live, so why blame it on a metal band. They made the band feel horrible. Could you imagine being accused unjustly about causing someone to kill themselves.

    Plus even if the song had it playing forwards, that is no reason to be brought to court. Obviously their kids would have severe mental issues, a song is not the problem!

    Long live Priest! PRIEST FEAST WAS A FUCKIN BEAST!!!!

  • Amen brother

  • However, there are songs out there today that say kill yourself clearly forward, etc.

  • So, the kids purposely listened to the song backwards?

  • Ive heard that the mind can sub consciously understand backwards lyrics

  • Subliminal messaging? Lol!!!! What about the united states military subliminally advertising thousands of young men and women to join the military and potentially have their lifes ended in battle? It's a god damn song...

  • what a load a bull shit.

    Christians for ya.

  • This is funny. The only damn words were "Do it"???? I never looked into the whole story till now. Subliminals do work, but can take months to kick in. It takes more than 2 words also.... God almighty, I can't believe it went to trial... These guys were fucked up, that's all

    ROCK ON PRIEST!!!! metal gods!!!!!

  • Like David St. Hubbins once said, they should have put a hidden message played backwards saying "Turn the damn thing around, shmuck"

  • or has rob says go out and buy ten more of this record

  • I dont want to kill myself after listening to this song, but I have a sertain urge to smach my office chair into the wall!!!!!! :D

  • its like he made me do it songs cant make u do these things they guys were just looking 4 a way out

  • what the fuck if you take ANY FUCKING SONG you can hear really fucked up words, i dont see nickelodeon being sued. and i hear alot of fucked up shit from them!

  • these fuckin songs were not made to be listened to backwards you fuckin retards

  • How does "Do it" even suggest suicide. If it said "Go suicide", that would be another thing coming. But do it means nothing.

  • I can't hear anything even closely resembling "Do it"...

  • That's because you, like most of us, are sane ;)

  • well said.

  • one of the lamest lies ever........stupid kid

  • Well people let's just put it this way & I'll say this only once "I DON'T HEAR SHIT"

  • These people must be smoking crack,I don't hear any "DO IT",anyway why do that and have your fans killing themselves??? No fans,no money,no shows,no nothing!!!!!

  • GREAT SONG!!! I honestly believe that there are no subliminal messages in this song

  • This is ridiciolouse

  • Legendary Marketting!

  • do it? do what? cut the grass? drink tea? i didn't hear the do it. that court has to happened in usa cause their lawsuits are ridiculous...

  • Smoking pot and drinking alcohol...hmm. That's what these two dopers were doing when they decided to blow their brains out. ...and that came from the attorney of the family of the two boys.

    PRIEST RULES!!! FUCK those dope users. Blaming the music for their suicide would be like me blaming all black people for racism saying that there would be no racism if there were no blacks in the country

  • There wouldn't be :]

  • Lol funny point Surveillanceagent197

  • and One of the boys had attempted suicide PREVIOUSLY. The Other guy was shown to have a violent nature he was a girlfriend abuser.

  • Beyond The Realms Of Death FTW

  • he just said do it..........sad
