Подробнее о видео

Coming up, it’s an episode that isn’t for the faint of heart. Today, we’re getting spooky as we explore the most cursed songs of the rock era and beyond. There are some really unbelievable stories here. One song, Kashmir, was born deep in the desert, built around an ancient-sounding riff. And it terrified Jimmy Page because he thought he was possessed when he was writing it. There’s also the killer karaoke track My Way that had to be banned because performing it led to a series of homicides. Another song, The Number of the Beast, put an entire recording studio on the fritz… making all the equipment malfunction. And then afterwards, the producer was so unsettled he crashed into a bus full of nuns. For real. You won’t believe how much the damages cost. From floating books and flying silverware to a jinxed song by The Who that foreshadowed the death of two band members… we’ve got a lot to cover. Don’t watch this one with the lights off. It’s the cursed songs countdown… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

So recently, I was reading an article on my feed about a song that was cursed… And it got me thinking about the most cursed songs of all time… And all these songs and stories started running through my mind. Songs like DOA by Bloodrock. It’s one of the freakiest songs I’ve ever heard… There were people who had seizures when they listened to the song… Fainting and panic attacks… paranoid late-night drivers pulling off the road after hearing it. Anyway, I went down a rabbit hole of cursed songs and their creepy stories. It was so fascinating… I gotta share it. I’m going to give you my top 5 cursed songs, plus a couple of honorable mentions.

The idea of a cursed song dates way back into history. But today, I want to set things up with the story of Robert Johnson, a legendary blues pioneer who lived hard and died young. Born in early 1900s Mississippi, Johnson shunned the life of a field worker to pursue music… to the dismay of his religious in-laws. When Robert’s wife died in childbirth, her family blamed his “devil’s music.” And then the stories began. Fellow bluesmen like Son House remembered Johnson vanishing for a time—only to return with supernatural guitar skills. As the legend goes, Johnson met a “dark man” at the crossroads, who tuned his guitar in exchange for his soul.

Johnson’s 1936 song “Cross Road Blues” sealed the myth—and may have passed along more than just licks. Musicians who have covered the song seem to be followed by misfortune. Eric Clapton lost his son shortly after recording the song. Robert Plant’s 5-year-old son died not long after Led Zeppelin tackled Johnson’s material. Members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers Band perished in crashes near literal crossroads after performing them. Even Kurt Cobain, who reportedly planned a cover, died at 27—like Johnson. Now, those all could be strange Coincidences but…Wow. Today, Robert Johnson's death remains a mystery. But what’s certain is that he died at 27, long before fame caught up with him. That placed him at the eerie forefront of what would later be dubbed the “27 Club.” And whatever the explanation, Johnson's music—and the shadow that trails behind it—still haunts those who follow his path to the crossroads. So here’s my list of bands and musicians who tried to tap into a power bigger than themselves. And may have been.
