"Shame on the Night"

Someone here told me this a few years ago, but I can't remember, so what is Dio saying at the end of this song, something like;
"asdafg, fafseaseads diver!?"

I have the original Japanese laserdisc release (the best audio money can buy), and that's the exact line on the sleeve. Good luck finding a copy.

He says, "Crucify the diver." The "crucify" is backwards masked though.

Sounds like there's a little more being said there than that...

Ok, been a while since I spun that cd, have to scope it out again...

...so what was the other one?

Good question. I've never noticed another one on that album.

FAQ: Backward Maskings

There are two backward maskings on the Dio albums. The clearest one is in the end of Shame Of The Night that says "Crucify The Diver." It is quite tricky one, as the "Crucify" part is backwards and then "The Diver" is there just normally. To confuse things a bit, there are some extra grumbles too. The interpretations have varied from "Early risers are crucified" to "I am the crucified", so this hasn't been too easy one to spot.

Other possible backward maskings might be in the song Egypt (The Chains Are On) off The Last In Line album and in Like The Beat Of A Heart off Sacred Heart. The Sacred Heart one can be heard from 3.39 to 3.42 and a couple of seconds after that.

It says there are 2 on the DIO albums, not just on Holy Diver.

He said there may be two on "Holy Diver", or the other one on "Last in Line"...

If you play country music backwards.....

you get your wife, dog, job and ford pick up back

and then the "devil" pays off your tab at the bar !
