Here is the article i found on the pronunciation of the song title just so you guys don’t think im pulling this out of my ass: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/the-10-wildest-led-zeppelin-legends-fact-checked-153103/
On some karaoke hero type video game I scored perfect on this glorious song because I was able to reproduce every audible “oh”, “yeah”, “baby, puh-lease!” and other breathy gasp of this song, having heard it and rocked out to it, thousands of times through the previous thirty years before the tech existed to do a karaoke video game.
D'yer Maker was released as a rare Zep single, with The Crunge, in the US. They hit no. 20 on the charts....imagine those two songs coming out as a Zep single back in the day? It was a fun time.
The title, pronounced as you mentioned it, like "jer maker" is part of an old, corny joke. Guy #1 says "My wife went on holiday to the West Indies." Guy #2 says "D'yer mak'er"? (which can either sound like "Jamaica" or "did you make her" - as in 'did you make her go?') and Guy #1 says "No, she went of her own accord". The band got a kick out of hearing Americans and other non-British speakers try to pronounce the title. This took some inspiration from Bob Marley and the Wailers, who had recently been spending a lot of time in London at the time Zeppelin were working on this album. Similarly to The Crunge, this was done as a bit of fun. It was originally intended to be a "doo-wop" kind of song along the lines of Benny King or some of the early 60s girl groups but the drum beat turned it to a different style. Bonzo's massive drum sound was achieved by placing three mics at a distance from his kit, which captured the echo and bleed. This was another recording technique of Jimmy's who learned from his session days that "distance = depth" for mic placement. The band sort of just casually plays on this and it wasn't a favorite song of anyone, except Robert.
Hello brother. Love your reaction videos my friend!! I mean these guys were so dam good!! Not only are they the Rock GOATS, but they are the GOATS of genres LoL. The best IMO!! ROCK ON!!¡
This song harkens back to a cheesy English joke that goes: Bloke #1: My wife is on vacation in the West Indies." Bloke #2: "Jamaica?" Bloke #1: “No, she did it on her own accord”. 😂😂😂😂
How do they pull off all these genres, because they are music GODS, that’s the only way to explain it. Not many songs that may not be a favorite, I have maybe two, out of all their songs that’s not many. No other band has or can do all that they have done, I’m glad, but it’s also sad. Next is No Quarter, an amazing song, especially the MSG live. No Quarter means No Mercy, a song about Medieval battles. Thanks again hun, always look forward to your reactions.
While this song had a lot of radio play, I find it interesting that JPJ doesn’t care for the song because Bonzo hated having to play reggae, something he was not familiar with. As such he was being a bit of a pain in the ass about figuring out the right beat. JPJ said he could not get in sync very easily because of this. They never played it live. My source of the information is an interview JPJ gave within the last 10 years with a Swedish journalist.
Those critics obviously arent musicians , or guitar players, becuase this is one of the tastiest, & funnest riffs to play EVER, so, theyre idiots.....but, comments like urs always remind me of bob dylan's memoirs called "chronicles" that came out around 2005 that got amazing reviews & he said it almost made him cry because these critics were writers themselves, he said "all those decades the critics dogged me, these people were writers, not musicians, so, finally, their praise actually meant something"....anyway, yeah, screw what critics think....9 times out of 10 theyre usually way off in the long run anyway.
@@ThatGuy-cb3yv Yeah, like others have said, he had a hard time with the beat. Which seems odd considering he's John freaking Bonham. Guess his heart wasn't in it but I still love his drum work on this one.
@debbiephillips4163 I don't know if I've heard it or not, there are so many bootlegs, but most of them are low quality, plus at that time Jimmy was heavy into his addiction and Robert's voice wasn't very good for the most part, however that doesn't mean it wasn't a great concert, I know I would've loved to have been there, or any of their concerts in the 70's for that matter, I was in my teens and they never came to Kansas City when I started going to concerts, but at least I seen Page and Plant in the mid 90's
Jimmy Page and the rest of the band really didn't like this song especially John Bonham! Bonzo hated reggae and didn't like to play this song! That's why he was bashing the drums hard on this song because he hated it! To Bonzo made this song great! His animal brute playing made this song gret for me! the god of thunder!
@@ToMitoReacts1017 > it doesn't matter, Did Ya Maker is how it's pronounced. You really think the bloke who made the joke was thinking of Jamaica, No I think Not

We played the hell out of this song at my radio station back when it was released!

This album divides - it's fun upbeat way less serious but they are so good at it that you can't help but jam along
It's actually a play on Did You Make Her a popular saying back in the day.
My daughter has always hated this song with a fiery passion, I never let her skip it… pulling out the mum authority on the important issues 😂

Bonzo hated Fool in the Rain
@@robertserafin-uc3qn and this one.
A lot of people hate this song. Especially critics. I've always loved. It's just the boys having fun and giving a middle fimger to those very critics.
Those critics obviously arent musicians , or guitar players, becuase this is one of the tastiest, & funnest riffs to play EVER, so, theyre idiots.....but, comments like urs always remind me of bob dylan's memoirs called "chronicles" that came out around 2005 that got amazing reviews & he said it almost made him cry because these critics were writers themselves, he said "all those decades the critics dogged me, these people were writers, not musicians, so, finally, their praise actually meant something"....anyway, yeah, screw what critics think....9 times out of 10 theyre usually way off in the long run anyway.
John Bonham hated this song which is why they never played it live.
@@ThatGuy-cb3yv Yeah, like others have said, he had a hard time with the beat. Which seems odd considering he's John freaking Bonham. Guess his heart wasn't in it but I still love his drum work on this one.
The next song is, to me, one of the iconic Zep songs. JPJ is featured on it. I can’t wait to see what you have to say about it. No Quarter.
And I really can't wait for afterwards when he listens to a live recording of it.
I hear that, definitely one of if not the best, ranks with many other favorites, and yes the live version from '73 MSG is spectacular
@@LedzepnutThat solo is mind bending.

Bonham hated reggae and purposely tried to sabotage the song but they left it in.
You should try hotdog from the album In Through The Out Door it is the complete opposite to this song.
Im gonna react to it once i get to in through the out door im going in order
@@ToMitoReacts1017 I hope you enjoy the rest of the albums like you have enjoyed the one's that you have reacted to already.

Did Ya Maker 🤬 it never was Jamaica, people assumed that because of reggae roots
