- Have you ever heard the rumours that some of the biggest names in rock music made deals with the devil to achieve fame and fortune? From Robert Johnson's legendary crossroads story to Led Zeppelin's infamous fascination with the occult, the idea of selling your soul to the devil has long been a part of rock mythology.
But is there any truth to these stories, or are they just urban legends? In this video, we'll explore the history and cultural context behind the idea of making a deal with the devil, and examine some of the most famous examples of alleged rock star pacts.
We'll look at the role of blues music in shaping the mythology of the crossroads, and the occult interests of bands like Led Zeppelin, and how their music and imagery influenced the wider culture.
So join us as we explore the legends and lore of rock music, and try to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the devil and his supposed deals with some of the biggest names in the business.

Quite an interesting change the past two months from your earlier content. If you stay consistent with this kind of subject matter, I can see the channel growing. Keep it up.
Thanks! I’ve been doing the podcast for almost 2 years now, this is just it’s debut on RUclips. Glad you liked it!
@@JennyClaffey Ah excellent 👌
I love your accent. This has been going on for centuries. It’s also true. I’ve been a guitarist for 35+ years. In 1998 I stopped for a decade and a half and rarely play now. I write but rarely listen to much. What I thought was a gimmick growing up in North Hollywood. I found out it wasn’t and I split fast!! I wouldn’t Crowley wasn’t a Satan worshiper he clearly was. There are only two sources of power. Period.
The late 60's Stones and Led Zeppelin took the blues and made it 3D. The early bluesman ripped each other off relentlessly and most of their songs are just the same songs with slightly different lyrics. A perfect example of the improvement the Stones made is their version of Love in Vain. Listen to the Robert Johnson version then to the Stones version. There is no comparison. Sure English blues players copped some of the songs and licks of the originals but they made it better and provided the originals with a comfortable way of life from the royalties of millions of album sales. Something that never would have happened otherwise. When the Stones went to Chess' studio in 1965 they encountered Muddy Waters painting the ceiling. His records has simply stopped selling.
The sacrifice in rock is about not living at your home every day. You are always in hotels, motels, in other countries and even in French Chateaux's. 2024
Very entertaining telling of this story. Enjoyed listening to your take. Of course, I don't believe a word of it (selling their souls that is) and never have haha but it's always been a quirky subject to discuss. The Kenneth Anger curse is a new one for me. I don't think I've heard of that before. On the other hand things started going wrong before, with Robert getting nodules, which changed his voice. Late 1972 I believe. Did Jimmy and Kenneth have a ding dong before that?
Cheers to you!! 👍
Thanks Lyndon! Yeah I’m a skeptic myself but it’s an entertaining story nonetheless… their interest in the occult tho - that’s all fact! Thanks for watching
@@JennyClaffey
You're welcome. Genuinely found the Anger (his surname is apt) curse a new one to me. Not that I believe it or Jimmy would have come off worse. 🤔
Cheers. Lovely accent.
Nothings far fetched 🤷🏼♀️
You should’ve stuck with the lessons Jen, could’ve made your own intro then haha
🤣🤣🤣 you know what, I’m happy to be able to offload at least one job to someone else. Plus we both know you hogged the lessons
Jimmy Page's sigil came directly from that book. There is zero difference.
Slay queen
😘❤️
It got to serve somebody😢 it may be the devil, or it may be the Lord🎉 But You Gotta Serve Somebody. By Bob Dylan another one that sold his soul😢
Oh yeah you just know Dylan was fighting some demons most his life lol
Yeah, but these people have to remember while you are alive. Your soul belongs to God it’s only when you die in your sins that the devil gets your soul so while you’re alive, he doesn’t own nothing and you can always repent and ask God for forgiveness for doing such a silly thing is selling your soul to the devil for fame fortunewhich a lot of them are done even Bob Dylan admits it but I just to let people know so long as you’re alive God owns your soul no one else
Stop making excuses and soul gambling! You will burst hell wide open thinking you can join Satan team and be rewarded with Heaven!
Thats who they thought they sold their souls to, but God has fooled them all with foolishness
Most music played on the radio is little more than propaganda,sell your soul? for what?
The summer of love was 1967, they tried to recreate it in 1969 with the likes of Woodstock.
Cool 👌
“Talentless?!” 😂 Exactly at what point were the members of Zeppelin that? I’m pretty sure they came out of the womb a rockin’ and a rollin’. I will agree on one point though and that is that a sacrifice had to be made. If greatness were easy then everyone would be great. Obviously they sacrificed much to reach that upper echelon of musicality… but “selling their souls to the devil” is just a lazy persons thought process in explaining it. I guess it does make for a more interesting story than hard work, a great environment and skill… at least to some.
It was a rhetorical statement about nobody, especially not about Led Zeppelin, hence why it began with “what if”… or do I have to break down rhetorics for you too?! Stop getting your panties in a twist and relax
@@JennyClaffey I was unaware that you were just musing on these things and did not intend to be taken literally.
You have very poor literacy if you believe my opening statement in a video applied to every single person mentioned subsequently
@@JennyClaffey Aren’t you sweet. Enjoy the occult.
Why should I be sweet to you when you insist on being obnoxious? Would you expect another man online to be ‘sweet’ to you or are you that fragile that you can’t handle a woman speaking back to you
Actually rock and roll was an American black musical art form. Little Richard, Chuck Berry and many others were rockin’ out before it became socially acceptable for whites to rock out, especially before Elvis hit. Saying the “whites” stole this music is a bit absurd though. And that’s not to say there were plenty of blacks that were wronged. But cultural icons should be able to influence other cultures too. There’s a reason that segregation is wrong because we are all people first and foremost before we even get close to what our race maybe. Not to mention race doesn’t really exist. There is just as much genetic diversity amongst African’s within Africa than compared to African’s and those outside of Africa. Look it up.
ACTUALLY I say all this in the video if you stop violently typing essays in the comments
@@JennyClaffey Lol. Violence? I think you are misusing that word. I’m just giving my perspective, the same way you gave yours.
I apologise you seem to be incapable of understanding anything beyond literal wording. You’re attempting to mischaracterise my actual points by leaving self righteous comments on my video, without an apparent want for friendly discourse which is obnoxious to be Frank
Yo, Peter, where do you get off talking about segregation, race, genetics and Africa? This video had nothing to do with that. Just keep quiet and go post some more eclipse videos.
The Constitution does. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” Enjoy your bubble.
I would never sell My soul to the devil. Satan is real that's not worth sitting in hell. I'm going to listen to Hells Bells From AC/DC and then make an educated guess if they made deal with Satan. Peace and God bless Jesus Christ bless.
AC/DC would never cut a deal. They are crazy enough to do it all themselves.
