East Jesus Nowhere "Backwards Talking" in Intro

[Todd]

Alright, so the backwards talking at 24 seconds into the song, I reversed and cut in Audacity to get the "forward talking" and here it is :

What do you guys think it is? I hear "??? until their deaths". I wonder why Green Day chose to hide a secret message in their song. It's very interesting. But Bagelfeet pointed out, it says "Don't test me" backwards probably.

Sorry if there's already a thread for this, if there is, it's really old anyways. I felt this would make a good discussion and many people would be interested in what was being said at the beginning.

[bagelfeet]

I think it says "Don't test--" or something like that

[TeaWithTheHatter]

It's interesting and creepy.

[Certified Nimrod]

There's a whole YouTube channel with things like this. I think it's saying "don't test me". Gives me chills.

[JIGD13]

Are you sure that isn't your voice? I hear dumb test

[AlissaGoesRAWR]

Definitely sounds like "don't test me" to me, which would make sense, but then again, once you're told it says something, you subliminally hear that phrase anyway...

There's a whole YouTube channel with things like this. I think it's saying "don't test me". Gives me chills.

what's the channel called?

[Todd]

Are you sure that isn't your voice? I hear dumb test

why would it be my voice in Green Day's song?

[Certified Nimrod]

Are you sure that isn't your voice? I hear dumb test

wat

what's the channel called?

I forget :/

[Liam]

It's just "Don't test me" reversed, put it into audacity, reverse it and you'll hear it. It's Billie saying it as will, they've just lowered the pitch of his voice.

[green day is]

This is so fucking old. GDA even has a t-shirt of it.

[Jollyroger118]

Is that really legit? That's really cool if it is

[Bastard of 1969]

I don't know, I heard "Say I'm not here anymore".

[Jon Benjamin]

I'm pretty sure it's don't test me and second guess me layered, lowered and reversed. Pretty sure I made it once out of the normal part.

[The Disappearing Boy]

There's a part in it which sounds like a snippet of a Green Day song. Has anyone worked out what that was?

[A song for the lovers]

I heard "don't test me"...

[ThranaM]

Reminds me of the time Miley Cyrus had a song played backwards, and it was against religion or something lol

[Annie, get your gun]

Well, I do hear the "test" but I don't get anything apart of that which is what happens when you put something backwards, just a bunch of confusing words Although nice touch for the song!

[belinda jane]

it is definitely 'don't test me', but i remember once someone posted that it was 'satan worshipper' and now that's all i hear

[belinda jane]

Green Day wants us all to worship Satan. My parents were right.

it's no longer a secret!

[Sanity Loan]

It's "Don't test me" and "Second guess me" both played backwards on top of each other.

[Bastard of 1969]

I didn't watch that put to forward, so... my opinion changed, and it sounded like "Don't test".

[Hermione]

it is definitely 'don't test me', but i remember once someone posted that it was 'satan worshipper' and now that's all i hear

That was probably me, it totally sounds like that! Now I know it's don't test me played backwards but when I first listened to the song I thought it was just a distorted voice whispering satan worshipper, I think a few other people did too until someone worked it out.

Okay no but seriously this is what I always thought it was (listening to it the way it is on the album). I thought they were just being funny by saying it since people always think that songs played backwards are about satan.
