My wife and I were talking about this last night. Anyone ever heard that the devil was the angel of music or words to that effect.
We've both heard people say that but I couldn't remember any scriptures that said that.
Does anyone know where that came from?
Thanks...

Tipp 10 nailed it; but you might consider Heb. 1:13,14.
Here it becomes clear that the devil, who was over all the angels, was actually created to lead all the ministering spirits who were to serve the elect. That puts him in a position as chief minister, chief worship leader and chief song leader.
He is a religious spirit and works, even today, as the chief religious spirit in the world with complete understanding of how to cater to man's built in need to worship and sing praises. As one of the Beatles said: "We are bigger than Jesus Christ."
Talent comes from God. While the devil cannot create and can only pervert in the physical world; he knows how and does orchestrate human talents and emotions. Go through a list of bands, especially heavy metal, and see how many band names and songs these days are actually religious. This didn't just happen, but rather is a rational spiritual event.
I think it safe to say that the devil can be considered the angel of worldly music; even a lot of religious music. Very uplifting to the soul of man, but always as pertains to things worldly.
The bands have their camp followers and the followers and fans live for the band. In musicals he is her answer to all things; and she is his answer to all things. If God gets a mention; it is usually hinted in a few somber words about dust at a funeral scene.
I am sure that the term 'angel of music' came long before the libretto in Phantom. However, I haven't researched it or its connection with the devil in other writings. Interesting question.

I just wrote this info. down a few days ago, can't remember where I got it from, I think from a friends blog, speaking about this subject, anyway here is the scriptures that was given, KJV Ezekiel 28:11-19 and Isaiah 14: 9-11. I know it was from the computer and there is a big giant article on it and it explains it all, so if I locate it again I will send it to you.

No he is called the Angel of Light! Second Corinthians said, at 11:14 ' And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an ANGEL OF LIGHT. 15 It is there for nothing great if his ministers ALSO keep transforming themselves into ministers of RIGHTEOUSNESS! BUT their end shall be according to their works.

No the angel of music is actually the phantom of the opera.
That is what he (the phantom) protrayed himself as to the young lady.

from my point of view i believe that people say that because it can get u carried away wanting to listen to it for hours instead of praying, reading the bible,quran whatever it is u believe and thanking god. but its all just about self control
