Bonham's drumming and his contribution to the band cannot be overstated. When Bonham died in 1980, the surviving members just knew that Led Zeppelin would never be the same, so they called it a day and disbanded. Bonzo was the hammer of the gods, and I like to think that whenever I hear thunder, it's just Bonham clearing the dust from his drumming kit. RIP Bonzo.
His kid Jason is just as good as the old man. I'm sure John is proud!
Love your comment.
Yea,, like starting a train.
A huge advantage ,that page exploited,and leaned on heavily.
And doubt JPJ,was any less valuable.
I actually see them as the real band.
With page being a much smaller talent than he has always been called.
And plant being a singer,who really only pulled off the upper range screams for a VERY short period of time.
Ive heard plant sing different versions of every song ,in order to take it easy on his voice.
@@sammyholloway334 good comments. I wonder if Page’s genius was not in his technical ability but his creativity.
@@drServitis 50 years of it,,
I just couldn't love this band more! Everything they do is magnificent!
If Led Zeppelin isn't in your top 5 bands
- I worry for you. 🤣 Bonzo kills it 🥁
💯
IMO top 3
#1 for me....I have about 10 bands all tied for #2. LOL
Page and Bonzo we're ahead of the times. Their songs are still relevant
Bah? Beatles. Rolling Stones. AC/DC. Queen. Aerosmith. Pink Floyed and that's just rock bands. Don't make me roll out the pop and RnB bands.
In the old joke, a man tells a friend that his wife has just gone on vacation. After he asks if it’s Jamaica (“D’yer mak’er”) she’s gone to, the man replies, “No, she went on her own accord.”
I think the lyrics of the song are inspired by that joke, as well as the title of the song. The song imagines a man's reaction to his partner wanting to leave. Also I heard that LZ once said the song was a joke.
Well said, and has to be pronounced in a certain southern English/London accent
@@mikephillips8810 lol, I copied and pasted.
The full joke is
I say I say I say . My wife’s gone on holidays in the Caribbean
Jamaica ?
No. She went on her own accord !
@@garywilliams1948 wow, thanks… great contribution
"Nobody's Fault (but mine....)"
Another GREAT Led Zeppelin song to check out!!
Yes!!!
Indeed! Such a great harmonica solo in that one!
Absolutely
YES. That song rooocks!
The song is done on a Reggae beat and delivery but with Zeps iconic sounds rather than traditional Reggae rhythms. Makes it one of a kind sound. Bonham's drumming on this track is the star.
The name of the song is actually a reference to the reggae sound.
I've never heard anyone (even professional radio DJ's) pronounce this song's name properly in the 50 years that it has existed.
D'yer Mak'er is a play on the country name "Jamaica" as pronounced by someone with a heavy English accent. (They're English, after all)
D'yer Mak'er = Jamaica = Reggae.
This is actually Zep's "ode" to reggae, and by proxy a tribute to the Prophet, Bob Marley.
Naw, the rhythm is pure reggae. Maybe you mean the fills, which are pure Bonzo.
@@jamesdavis4598 I always loved JPJ's bass playing on this !!
2:08 I love Lex. She’s so contagious with her great personality.
The other one, not so much
It’s honestly inspiring tbh
I want in.
@@blacklexus3965
You must mean Mr. Effervescence.
Not only the greatest band ever, but also the most diverse too
@My Dixie Wrecked Zep is in a class all by themselves imo.
I would say the Beatles
Technical Hot Dog
Nah the Beatles didnt get as gentle as Zep or as intense. Zep had the wider limits.
@@lyndoncmp5751 "Here There and Everywhere"? The Beatles have lots of gentle songs. Then "Helter Skelter" and "I Want You" are right up there with Zep in intensity. But the Beatles also give lots of psychedelic sounds that LZ didn't touch. Plus the variety of having four singers really helps them out.
Zep, probably the most overrated band ever. Beatles are above and beyond Zep in every way.
My sister's favorite Zeppelin song. Mine's "Over the hills and far away".
My sister hates Led Zeppelin. My sister says Led Zeppelin is devil music. So I play it really loud in the house and she goes crazy. But I lock my door so she can't do anything about it.
@@drServitis She could take an ax to your door
@@mneugent7658 My dad used to get his car serviced at the same garage Ted Neugent got his jeeps serviced at. But they never became best friends or anything. Are you related to Ted Neugent by chance?
@@drServitis Nope. He spells it Nugent. No first E. Though I have seen Ellis Island-type records for my family where ours was spelled both ways so who knows? But to my knowledge, no.
@@drServitis Your sisters opinion is factually wrong🤣
The bass in this is also a huge driver that I honestly hardly noticed for years. It's SO percussive. The drums are able to be so laid back and heavy because the bass is so driving.
Great tune! John Bonham(drummer) was a very important part of Led Zeppelin. Good catch Lex.👍
This is the first Zeppelin song I ever heard. I was in 6th grade in early 1974, and my family had just moved back to Southern California after being in Colorado and New Mexico for a few years. During my first class in my new school, the radio was playing this during a break. I had never heard anything like it. I have loved this song ever since.
The pronunciation is a pun on the name of the island nation of "Jamaica." You pronounce the D'yer like "jer" and the Mak'er like "maker" -- so the correct way to say it is "jer-maker." It's been tripping up rock and roll DJs for 50 years, and I think it's hilarious. Brad, your comment about the "island vibe" is on point. This song was Led Zeppelin's one (and I think only) foray into a song inspired by reggae. They have the song "Fool in the Rain" (I can't recall if you have reacted to that one or not) which is inspired by calypso, and also has a kind of tropical vibe to it.
It's part of a joke.... "My wife and I went on vacation." "D'yer maker?" (asking if they went to Jamaica, but hears 'did ya make her?') "Nah, she wanted to go..."
Maybe Bob Marleys visit to the UK around this time might have had an influence ?
As a Reggae fan , this has a reggae beat , at the time 10cc did "dreadlock holiday " which is in reggae time, and is worth a spin ---- 10cc could do it all
Although Lex couldn't "find the vibe" in the first minute, It was great that she "caught it" early in the song. Great reaction. Always love your analysis.
John Bonham is in a class by himself. Just an amazing drummer.
was. he choked on his own vomit and died because he couldn't breath.
@@drServitis I think we all knew that, but thanks for th vivid image!😖 Dead or alive, he's still in a class by himself
Bonzo!
@@gizzy2403 one time I was really drunk and went to bed and puked sideways on the bed, then went back to sleep in my own puke. but at least I puked sideways. more of a comment really. I bet John Bonham was lying face-up and that's why he gagged and died because the puke never left his throat and mouth. if you're ever really drunk and asleep make sure and puke side-ways.
@@drServitis absolutely, no doubt! One New Years Eve my best friend did something really stupid & if his mom & sister hadn't heard him crash into his nightstand he would've pulled a John Bonham himself. We'd been out drinking all night & made a last stop @ a house party where these guys were freshman in h.s. when we were seniors & juniors. For some retarded reason, he decided to pour around 8 ounces of rum into a glass & chug it in front of these guys w/o me knowing it. When I dropped him off @ his house, he tried going in & flopping down on his bed, he missed & cracked his head on nightstand & ended up on th floor. His mom & sister had to hold his head up & over a container for him to puke in all morning! I doubt if he'd be around today if his sister was a real, sound sleeper...scary.
For a different Zeppelin sound try Gallows Pole. Great story, great sound.
I love how they turn the story from Lead Belly on its head.
Back to the old west. There's even a banjo in that song. Like Stairway the song slowly progresses faster. Top ten LZ songs foe me.
brad would love this one, lyrics tell a tale
Fool in the Rain.... Great song in weird time signature with a crazy drop in the middle.
I hope you listen to the "Rain Song" sometime off this same album, it's such a beautifully crafted song.
Immediately f/b Fool in the Rain!
@@gizzy2403 I wish more people would do Fool in the Rain
@@shaun374 man, I fkn luv that song!👊🍻
Bonzo Bonham. Best kick foot in the business. Broke my heart when I heard he died in '80. I was 17 and In Through the Out Door was playing on the radio constantly. Fool in the Rain was blowing everyone's mind. He was a rock giant. One of a kind. There was so much soul in his beats and fills, especially that magical right foot. There will never be another.
End of 1980 did suck lranian crisis.
Bonham death then John Lennon.
A lot of the time Bonham’s drumming partners with the guitar parts. It really stands out in this one.
Brad & Lex are the Yin & Yang of Music reactors, and have totally sucked me into their World!
What a treat! So many people neglect to react to this Led Zep song and it's one of my favorites from way back. Such a cool vibe. Please do FOOL IN THE RAIN. Thank you so much!
and NEVER to 'Out on the Tiles' from Zep III
We used to sing along with it with our ghetto blaster in gym in the seventies.
Definitely has a Reggae sound. John Bonham is great in this song.
Led Zep definitely like to experiment but I heard that some members of the band didn't like this song.
Backbone. ..
Love to see some more Zeppelin! I think you guys would enjoy their song Achilles Last Stand or The Rain Song, both masterpieces. Keep it up y'all.
yes yes what brass guitar said
Yes to all of that
Must do The Rain Song!!!
"Fool In The Rain" would be a good follow up to this one.
Also, members of Led Zeppelin went on to form The Honeydrippers in the 1980s and had a couple of hits, "Rockin' At Midnight" and "Sea Of Love", both covers of 50s songs.
Appalling cod reggae!
Lex’s full groove reactions are priceless. She would have been just like the rest of us Dazed and Confused kids that grew up in the 60’s and 70’s.
This song received some airplay on the radio. It may have even charted. I never followed the Top 40 back then. The entire "Houses of the Holy" album is great. But it was always in the shadow of the previous release, usually called Led Zeppelin IV and the next, Physical Grafitti. But it is one of my favorite albums. "Over The Hills and Far Away" is another song from this album that received airplay. Great song. If it wasn't for Stairway to Heaven, from Led Zep IV, it might have been recognized more widely for its composition and complexity. Bonham's drums definitely drove this song, though.
Thx! Oldies chord progression (1,6,4,5) with a Jamaican rhythm! We didn’t know how to pronounce the name either back then!
Led Zeppelin just can’t (well, couldn’t) do wrong. Amazing group.
D'yer Mak'er = Jamaica as pronounced with an English accent. Bob Marley was getting big around this time.
Great reaction. So if you like this more eclectic Zeppelin, try "Hey Hey What Can I Do" and "Going to California".
Ramble On is amazing, also Over the Hills and Far Away, Going to California.
I saw Jason Bonham last night where I live (Long Island). He did all Led Zeppelin songs to honor his father. It was INCREDIBLE!
The title is an old English pun: First guy: my wife went to the islands on vacation. Second guy: Jamaica? First guy: no, she wanted to go.
Just gotta get some faster songs by Led Zeppelin…Achilles last stand,misty mountain hop,the ocean,lemon song
I don't know which I enjoyed more...the song or Lex's contagious personality!!
Such a classic, this has been covered alot and in alot of movies 🔥
1:46 is the moment Lex gets into the feels of the song 💪
One of my favorite Zeppelin song. Along with going to California . Bonzo killing it on the drums as usual
Great reaction guys, but more importantly I love your guys is honesty as a couple. It is very refreshing!
One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs
The one song you can only listen to on LP. They recorded it and never played it again. Just iconic.
Love this song. Try fool in the rain at some point!
That song makes my palms sweat.
I used to drive my parents and sisters when this came on the radio when we were on a road trip in the 70's.
Great tune! Give led zeppelins - hey hey what can I do a listen, I think you will enjoy it
I watch these videos now just waiting for that smile to spread across Lex’s face when she’s fully into the groove. I would imagine Brad spends much of his life doing everything he can to get Lex to smile like that as much as he can, and I surely cannot find fault in that. She lights the room up.
I'm a drummer. The last time I played a song on drums, it was THIS song!!!
many years ago some of my cousins and I were jamming this in our room...had an older aunt pop her head in and comment ' I like that song, reminds me of our sock hops from high school'.... love it
6:35 you guys compliment each other perfectly. I love it 🤣💪
We often talk about Bonham's thunder but not his touch, which is on full, glaring display in this gem. Genius.
What a fucking good drum work on this Zep raggae song, they all where fantastic musicians !
When Robert Plant pronounces the title of this song it sounds like Jamaica. This is their Reggae joint. See also Boogie With Stu for their response to disco, the Crunge for their tribute to James Brown, Trampled Under Foot for one inspired by Stevie Wonder, The Ocean for their Doo Wop outro, and of course, Kashmir for Moroccan vibes.
This is one of my most favorite songs ever!
Thank you for reacting to more Zeppelin!!!
You guys are right, this really is a showcase for Bonzo, in many respects. This was a huge radio hit for them. Love the reggae cadence with the piano coming in on the two and the four.
Try In My Time of Dying for John Bonham's premier showcase, or even Fool in the Rain. Cheers!
It's a huge pleasure for an oldie like me to watch you guys getting into music that was my focus when I was your age before you even existed! Especially as this stuff is so far removed from your own current experience. Priceless. 😘
This may be one of THE sexiest songs ever written. The beat, the guitar, the lyrics.
I heard this song was just for fun. They didn’t know this would be a hit. Glad they made it.
Automatic, crank it up. Followed by: Smoke 2 Joints - Sublime, and then: Iron Lion Zion - the Mighty Bob Marley
Love that Lex immediately identified it as having a beach vibe. That's Bonham's alternating double/single snare hits on 2&4. A classic beach song rhythm.
THANK YOU!!! It’s pronounced Jamaica. It’s a punch line from a joke…. “Did ya make her. Di yer make her….. Ja make her… Jamaica.
I know this song for about 35 years now.. but that I heard for the first time now. Thank you :)
Never realized, but it does have a Reggae vibe too it.
One of my favorites! Most people will pronounce the title as [Dy-er maker], (close to "dire maker"). But the correct pronunciation is actually just like "Jamaica". I believe some or most native Jamaicans spell the country name: "D'yer Maker". The song combines the sounds of Hard Rock and Raggae so perfectly.
My favorite Zepp song. Awesome reaction guys.
Yes, this is a very "drum-centric" song. Zeppelin has many songs that are drum-centric, and Bonzo was great at providing very interesting and varying patterns and fills.
Jimmy Page produced their albums, and he really appreciated great drums to provide a foundation and structure for his guitar work.
Classic absolutely beautiful
Love this song!
i love the reaction from the both of ya... keep it going..
This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song!
Thank you guys!!!
I hope you can do All of my Love soon
Have a great weekend!!
All My Love is such a great song, yet so sad knowing Robert Plant wrote that for his 5 year old son Karac, who had just died.
@@centuryrox didn’t know that.. wow
@@harbinger8035 Yeah, knowing that makes the entire feel of the song, and the lyrics, absolutely heartbreaking.
I just spent 2 1/2 hrs watching yall react to my favorite songs. Damn. Subscribed...
🙌🙌🙌🖤
"Trampled Underfoot" was a song off of the album Physical Graffiti, that was released as a Single and charted on the Billboard Top 40..
Yes, I did subscribe. Best music reaction channel on YT.
This is one of my favorite songs from LZ. I had listened to it from the day I bought the album when I was 16.
He done her wrong and she said See Ya!
LZ had some truly wonderful songs that never got any air time. From the III album, this is a great song also Bron-Yar-Stomp.
All those tears ain't stopping nothing, just creating a river . And your the boat with no paddle ! O that drummer! 4 sure
Thanks u guys
One of the great things about Led Zeppelin is that they incorporated a wide swathe of influences into their music so each album sounded like a whole new jam.
Check out Fool in the Rain for a double-take. The album it is from - In through the Out door - is one of my faves.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song
You two always save the best parts for the end of the video dang it!
This song is what got me hooked. I wasn't born yet but my Mom (RIP) was always playing good ass music when I was a kid
John Bonham's drum solo, Moby Dick, is just AWESOME!!
My favorite song of theirs is Fool in the Rain!!! A must listen!!!
I like your impression of the song Lex!
I love watching Lex get the groove of a song.
I remember rollerskating to this at leos rollerrink when i was a kid for freeskate. My first introduction to Zepp
You guys are totally right. It has a weird Island vibe to it but it's also rock and roll? Nice react!
Every song from every band is so different that's the point
Nice to see you taking the deeper dive into the Zep catalogue! :)
Lex is so adorable with her reactions!
I love this song.
This is definitely one of Bonham's coolest beats, he totally carries the song, followed by Robert Plant's vocals. He had an amazing ability to mesh his beats with the guitar. They were smart to call it quits after his death as there was no replacing him, and they obviously knew that. Trying that would've been a disaster. RIP BONZO
Another really cool song along a similar vibe is "Fool In The Rain"!
D'yer Mak'er made me a Led Zeppelin fan in '73.
Was always partial to drums. Bonzo was my favorite.
Smooth like butter melting 🫠
This song is what made me fall in love with Zep
Brad's finally getting with the program!!! Sound first... don't sweat the lyrics!! Great reaction!
i love this song
This was a very hot tune in my senior year in high school.
When reggae started hitting the interna tional scene in the 70s, many bands decided to try it out. Eric Clapton covered a Bob Marley tune, The Stones had a song called 'Hey Nigrita" and Mick Jagger did a guest solo spot on a song with Peter Tosh. Enjoy.
As Lex said, the drums adds so much to this....
in my time of dying. and no quarter next, please, luv your reactions
I was waiting for this. Btw, it’s pronounced, “jer maker,” as in Jamaica. Because it’s using a ska/rockabilly rhythm style.
one of the greatest bands of all time, rock out Lex
Only 62 viewers ahead of me - the highest ranking I've ever achieved - and on Led Zeppelin no less - it's gonna be a great day -
