Never will there be another Led Zeppelin...they were, and still are the Masters Of Music!! So many different sounds in all their music, and the transitions in their songs are legendary!!🎶💜🎶💜
The one common element in Zeppelin that makes Zeppelin: Bonzo's drums. Heavy heavy sound. Cracklin. The title ... In a 2005 interview, Plant discussed the different interpretations and pronunciations of the name of the song. He explained that the title is derived from an old joke, where two friends have the following exchange: "My wife's gone to the West Indies." "Jamaica?" (which in an English accent sounds like "Did you make her?") "No, she wanted to go".
"D'yer Mak'r" is pronounced like Jamaica and is a play on words based on the joke told with a British accent, "My wife's on vacation in the West Indies." "Jamaica?" "No, it was her idea." The title was chosen because it reflects the reggae flavor of the song. Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant has said that he finds it amusing when American fans pronounce the title as "Dyer Maker."
This is a great album...all of the songs. But for a few more to try from it, try; The Song Remains the Same__The Ocean__Over the Hills and Far Away__No Quarter.
GOATS! Its like having 4 Michael Jordans in your team! Been listening to them since I was 9 and Im 47 ,I shared a bedroom with my big bro may he RIP TOM!
My favorite Zeppelin song. Brings back so many great memories. In 1995 when I went to college my friends and I were on a 60’s/70’s kick. Zeppelin,The Doors,Pink Floyd,Steve Miller and other bands of that era. We were doing acid and mushrooms a lot at that time so that might of had something to do with it
as a metal listener, led zeppelin since i discovered them 13 years ago is a must band. they have a lot of random stuff out there but they created if you reach for it, incredible stuff and almost magical
13 years ago? Wow. I'm probably old enough to be your Grandfather, and Zeppelin is already being played in my retirement village. It will probably be another 10 years before real Metal arrives here, but it is coming.
with led zeppelin every song is different and you never know what's coming "i'm gonna crawl" or "all of my love" are almost unknown songs from them in mainstream, but are marvelous pieces.
This is the greatest rock band there ever was. Thank you for recognizing how great they are. To get a good intro to reggae, while also enjoying the rock stuff.. check out some Ska. Reel Big fish- “sell out” or their cover of “take on me”, or mighty might bosstones - “the Impression that I get” are great intros, but ska is basically a rock/punk/reggae mix that in some ways started before reggae.
Personally, my fave Led Zeppelin record - 'Houses of the holy' (1973) ... it's such a diverse offering. Apparently, when they recorded this reggae-inspired tune, they titled it "Jamaica"... but spelled it absurdly as a joke. If an American reads "D'yer maker", it comes out "dire maker"... but if a Jamaican reads it, it comes out, "jeeya meccah" (Jamaica) in a heavy accent 😂 John Bonham is the king on drums here... a talent truly missed 😪
I like the hard zeppelin songs from the first two albums but I also like this side of zeppelin, maybe more. Give the live version of the "battle of evermore" with Najma Akhtar (video) a listen to.
Several rock bands and artists throughout the 1970s flirted heavily with reggae, but I don't know if any embodied the spirit more than the Rolling Stones, especially Keith Richards.
The title comes from a joke, British middle-class type thing: "So where you lot going on holiday this year?" "We decided to take separate hols...I'm goin' t' Spain, she's goin' to the Caribbean." "Oh... Jamaica?" "Nah, it was 'er idea." As irreverent - or ham-handed, if you prefer - a take on reggae as 'The Crunge', from the same album, is to James Brown style funk. Fun anyway, assuming you're willing.
That is a good Zeppelin song but It's mellow. if you want one that is on fire check out "How Many More Times (Denmark's Radio 1969)". A small audience and a great performance. It's the best live Zeppelin song on RUclips.
Back in 1973, reggae was completely unheard of in American rock and commercial radio certainly would not have had a clue about how to approach such a genre. It was regarded as nothing more than the 'novelty' sounds of the Islands, along with the Steel drums and the timbales. It wasn't until the Rolling Stones released their 'Black and Blue' album around 1977-78, which was very much inspired by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, That white rock musicians became brave enough to embrace reggae and ska, or to recognize the defiant spirit of Afro-groove as a kindred genre. The Police were very blatant about their reggae/punk/new wave style. But this Zeppelin track is NOT true to traditional reggae as such. The guitarwork by Page is definitely coming from a player who is totally tuned in to the reggae guitar via rhythmic textures, but the drums and the chord proggression seem almost like the 50s again, like something by The Righteous Bros or Buddy Holly, ect..
It's pronounced "Djer make 'er" as in "Did yer make her?" ...as in "did you f*** her?". Typical Led Zeppelin wordplay and innuendo - Choose a title to rhyme with Jamaica since it's reggae, but with a meaning that's about what the boys enjoyed doing best... Led Zeppelin moved in whatever musical direction they wanted, but whatever genre they chose to explore, they always made the song their own. You could always tell it was them. Crys picked-up that really fast. One of her clearest reactions on your channel =) Is it really reggae? A lot critics panned this song when it came out but today it is considered a classic and introduced a lot of Americans to the reggae sound.
Never will there be another Led Zeppelin...they were, and still are the Masters Of Music!! So many different sounds in all their music, and the transitions in their songs are legendary!!🎶💜🎶💜
You nail it again! Instrumentally it has a reggae sound. Vocally has a rock maybe lil soul sound.Your good.You really take the time to listen.Respect!

The title ...

Bonham didn't even like this song and still killed it
@@mikey41rules Thats right. I forgot about that. He didnt.
"D'yer Mak'r" is pronounced like Jamaica and is a play on words based on the joke told with a British accent, "My wife's on vacation in the West Indies." "Jamaica?" "No, it was her idea."

Just goes to show you never know what to expect with Led Zeppelin
You pronounce the title as "Jamaica".
It's from a joke :
"My wife's just been to the West Indies"
"Oh, Jamaica"? "
" No, she wanted to go! "
This is my all time favorite song by Led Zeppelin!! Love it!! ❤❤
You need to checkout their song "Dancing days" I think it is on this same album. 🔥🔥
I'd say the song Houses of the Holy is better than Dancing Days. Similar vibe, but a better song.
This is a great album...all of the songs. But for a few more to try from it, try; The Song Remains the Same__The Ocean__Over the Hills and Far Away__No Quarter.
Rain Song
Add Bron-y-Aur Stomp to the list
GOATS! Its like having 4 Michael Jordans in your team! Been listening to them since I was 9 and Im 47 ,I shared a bedroom with my big bro may he RIP TOM!
Thee greatest! Most versatile rock band in history!
The mighty Led Zep nails it again!

the drums on this are MONSTROUS!

Definitely one of the Most versatile band's ever. Best rythem section for sure. Legendary Rockstars Forever.
One of my favorite old rock bands I love stairway to Heaven
A fun one from the 80s with a reggae/pop blend: Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth. I think you'll enjoy it 🙂
Hope u listen to ALL their songs u won’t regret it they r all unique
Everyone of their songs r dynamite takes u were no man has gone before 🥰
with led zeppelin every song is different and you never know what's coming "i'm gonna crawl" or "all of my love" are almost unknown songs from them in mainstream, but are marvelous pieces.
All of my Love is not that unknown. It gets radio play here and then.
I was surprised you didn't mention how Absolutely 🔥FIRE🔥 John Bonham on the drums are !🥁
Check out their "James Brown" in "The Crunge"
Love this 💕 the mighty zeppelin can do no wrong, in my opinion anyways ✌️
Its not a pure reggae sound as such but its a Zeppelin version of it. The guitar is definitely a reggae riff.
Love your reaction!
I love Led Zeppelin!!! They just put their spin on every genre of music they play!!! Hahahaha.....lol....hahahaha...real talk...Love them!!!!

Jon Bonham was really working the drums.

You should do One Zeppelin song a week! You will love it!
I like the hard zeppelin songs from the first two albums but I also like this side of zeppelin, maybe more. Give the live version of the "battle of evermore" with Najma Akhtar (video) a listen to.
Fool in the rain is also a banger
Several rock bands and artists throughout the 1970s flirted heavily with reggae, but I don't know if any embodied the spirit more than the Rolling Stones, especially Keith Richards.
That's for your ride and die not even or
It is pronounced like the country "Jamaica," although plenty of Americans pronounced it as it is spelled dyer maker.
The title comes from a joke, British middle-class type thing:
"So where you lot going on holiday this year?"
"We decided to take separate hols...I'm goin' t' Spain, she's goin' to the Caribbean."

You guys should smile more. This is a fun and talented song. Don't mess with John
That is a good Zeppelin song but It's mellow. if you want one that is on fire check out "How Many More Times (Denmark's Radio 1969)". A small audience and a great performance. It's the best live Zeppelin song on RUclips.
yep Reggae all the way zep island style
Not your typical Zeppelin another untypical song you should check out is Going To California very mellow.
It's pronounced like Jamaica but with a Jamaican accent ( Jer-maker).
Just like with traditional reggae, you need to smoke something to get the full effect.
🔥☮️💜🤘
Jamaica
☮️❤️🔥
What are your top 5 Bands so far in this journey?

It'd pronounced like 'Jamaica'.
sean kingston sampled this
👍👍👍👍
Classic rock not reggae
“did you make her?” In an English accent…😂… dyer maker do it or something
did ya make her with a HEAVY Jamaican accent
The song is pronounced (Die Maker), groovy song. 🎸
Don't believe, that they don't heard D'r M'r anymore.
To say the name of the song .. say Jamaica if it started with dr....
How many more times.. live
👋🏻♥️
Feel for you re the title, It's a British in joke. Jamaica is an approximation.
Great choice this is the 1st song that I've forgotten with liking reggae
If you want raggae listen to Snow called Informer. Can't really understand it lol
its pronounced jamaica
Prime example why I choose Pink Floyd over these guys lol
Don’t get so hung up on the words. There’s not so much to understand in the lyric. Just sit back and enjoy the whole record.
Steven Marley false friends
It's pronounced "Djer make 'er" as in "Did yer make her?" ...as in "did you f*** her?".
Typical Led Zeppelin wordplay and innuendo - Choose a title to rhyme with Jamaica since it's reggae, but with a meaning that's about what the boys enjoyed doing best...

Is it really reggae? A lot critics panned this song when it came out but today it is considered a classic and introduced a lot of Americans to the reggae sound.
Guys do some research in the video. It will bring a color to the video. You can learn how to pronouns it so easily.
