Just think. The universe is billions of years old and will go on infinitely. You existed on a little blue spec within that time, at the same time as Led Zeppelin.
Never realized it was pronounced Jamaica. All these yrs. Good Jam. Oh baby I love you. I know all the words of there older music. Oh every move I make. Lol Basement memories jamming on the Marantize receiver. If we got to loud which happened a lot mom n dad would stomp there feet on floor. Awesome Song Awesome Reviews. Keep on Rocking me Baby. ❤
What's amazing about Led Zeppelin is that you guys are into their 5th album and there are still like 30 amazing songs of theirs you haven't hit yet. Their portfolio is unmatched.
It was Plant who wanted to release this. He wanted to put it out as a single in the UK, which at the time was considered death. They took a lot of heat for putting this song out. The fans at the time just didn't want to hear them doing a Bob Marley impersonation. With fifty years of hindsight it was just proof that they could do whatever they wanted.
D'yer M'aker is quick slang in Jamaican for Did you make her! You know, did you score with her? Raggae tribute. Once again no one was playing anything like this in the rock scene back scene. But it worked. All over the radio to this day. And you know why? It's Led Zeppelin!!
This was "another" MONSTER Hit for Zeppelin played everywhere on the radio and a daily play today on Classic Rock radio stations across the nation !! 👍📻🎶
Oh Lord, No Quarter up next! Never totally convinced by D’yer Ma’ker, but give them props for trying it out! Arguably the best rock band to try the reggae tribute song was 10cc with “Dreadlock Holiday”
If you say 'did you make her' quickly with a Cockney accent is comes out sounding like 'Jamaica.' It's the punch line to an old British dad joke: Guy 1: "My wife just went on a Caribbean holiday." Guy 2: "Really? Jamaica?" Guy 1: "No, she went of her own accord." I heard an interview with Robert Plant on the radio back in the '70's where he explained it.
Probably my Fav Zep album. They're continuing to grow and mature, even after the great 4th album. They're continuing to go to new places with variety. I consider everything up to this to be the 1st collection, everything after to be the next collection.
Cool track, Bonham and Jones thought that this take was an initial run through, not for the record, so it was very loose. They wanted to re-record their parts and Jimmy said it was what he wanted. Great summer tune again off of their summer album for me. NO QUARTER on the way
Excellent description of Zeppelin. Elite. No telling how many times I've listened to them, I'll still shake my head sometimes and think, this sh!t ain't right, no one should be this original and talented.
Back in the day, Houses of The Holy "haters" always said Dy'er Maker and The Crunge were novelty tunes, and that No Quarter was them trying to outdo P Floyd at their own game. They missed the point that as soon as 1970, their albums featured different styles. That's what was great about the 60-70's. Within a few years, a band could come up with stuff as different as Whole Lotta Love, Stairway to Heaven and Kashmir, and not lose its audience. (And its record contract.)
@@rockinrobin Until the mid-70's, not everything was dictated by sales. But Led Zep had huge success from the outset. When you're on top of the world, nobody orders you to make more "commercial" music, for them i don't think it ever was about leverage. Had they survived in the 80's and 90's, it might have been different.
I’m loving your reactions, genuine musical knowledge and passion, maybe the best around❤️. I think Houses of the Holy may be the only Led Zeppelin album on which every song is completely different, genre goes out of the window but they mastered every style on it with flying colours. Still can’t wait for Physical Graffiti!!
Just such an up beat song. Ragae and more pop another different style. That zepp always So many different sounds. Love it. 😊 glad you like it Another song critics put down. Again don't know why.
Honestly I agree with Bonz on this one, never cared for this song...but NO QUARTER is one of my top 5 Zep tracks of all time, especially LIVE from the Movie Soundtrack..
Alison Krauss and Robert Plant made an incredible team. Alison Krauss and Union Station are excellent, sophisticated and Mastercraft which is why Robert Plant sought her out. Alison Krauss and Union Station have many fantastic albums. I've seen her and Union Station in concert 3 times. Check her out, u will not regret it. Thank you for the great reaction guys ❤
The mighty zep, were only around for 12 years yet..... they outsold all of the other rock acts"...... for example the rolling stones were around for over a zillion years & only sold over 200, million units/ records.... were as zep sold between 300, million plus or 400 million plus units/ records".....
I never knew it was pronounced "Jamaica". Perhaps that's why a lot of fans who loved the song couldn't remember or say the name, so it remained a tad obscure in my observation. "Dire Maker" is how I always said it, then find another song looking for this one, never getting back to this!! It's in a way extending the Zeppelin re-examination, adding some mystery to a great song. Reggae and funky strings, a touch of 1950's rock twang guitar in there as well (Dick Dale surf music guitar twang). Btw: A couple of Dick Dale tunes are worth a spin!!
Check out the band Dread Zeppelin. They were a Zeppelin cover band in the 80s that did their songs in a reggae style with an Elvis impersonator as the vocalist. Very interesting to say the least.
Killer song, even though Bonzo didn't care for it. It's still a phenomenal song and they all sound great on it. Plant was whispering "fire" softly in the vocals near the end.
Robert Plant finally scored some overdue recognition & 3 Grammy 's for his work with Allison Krause Led Zeppelin was nominated in 1980 , but with Bonzo having passed & group broken up , they never got that Grammy for In through the out door 😢
Zep did a country tune - Hot Dog - that went to #1 on country charts. So when Zep experimented, they proved layers of legitimacy present...or was it "Presence"?
from wiki: 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".
I always thought that the title is a shortened form of "Did you make her?" I don't know if it has any relationship to "Jamaica". That would be cool if it did. I've never heard any discussion about where this song came from, but it sure sounds like a rock cousin of reggae.
I have been watching you for some time now, great channel. I, too, am a led zeppelin lover from way back. You need to see The Song RemaIns the Same/Rain Song live at MSG 1973.
Since you guys love Zeppelin and reggae so much, ya'll should do a reaction to Dread Zeppelin doing a Zeppelin cover. Robert Plant loves DZ and had their music played between bands at his concerts in the 90s. I believe Plant stated DZ did "Your Time Is Gonna Come" better than LZ did. DZ is reggae style, the lead singer is an Elvis impersonator. Quite an eclectic group. Funny as hell, but brilliant as well. Every time they came to Birmingham, I was there. Good times...
Absolutely a fun song; do not take too seriously and hear too often; LZ never played it live. In 1973, Bob, Peter, Bunny and whatever they were called weren't yet big stars in Europe and the USA, and they weren't on mainstream radio. This reggae song already attracted media attention and was a "little door opener" for the reggae music wave.
It might sound familiar because, although it’s their take on reggae, it also sounds ALLOT like some pop music from the late 50’s and early 60’s. Especially the chorus and the Oh, oh oh oh oh oh parts.
"Fire" is the Lyric word at the end of the song....and yeah our generation invented the word usage of "Fire" and your generation now uses it when something is "Hot." The melody of the song originated in the 60's.....where led Zeppelin got their inspiration from an old Reggae tune.
When you get to No Quarter, you should listen to both the studio and live version from The Song Remains the Same (the original version from '76, not the remastered version). I prefer the live version, but both are classic.
Just found you guys this week, and I've been binge watching you. My wife is a little annoyed with me.... I want your reaction to No Quarter also. It's the second most "epic" Zeppelin song behind Stairway in my opinion. Also, can I get some U2? Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, or the maybe the song New Years Day?
Looking at some of the other comments btl saying this is Bonham's finest, Bonham didn't want to do this and it shows, if it's meant to be reggae it fails dismally
Keeping Deguello close I see lol. As much as I love Led Zeppelin I listened to that album at least once a week all through high school. Glad I don’t have to choose.
Just think. The universe is billions of years old and will go on infinitely.
You existed on a little blue spec within that time, at the same time as Led Zeppelin.

#Led Zepplin Rocks!

Gentleman. The time has come. They show. No quarter

This song was a joint composition by all 4 band members. True! And - pun intended.
Dudes, the Zeppelin rabbit hole is deep and wonderful. Welcome.
All original zeppelin!
This was "another" MONSTER Hit for Zeppelin played everywhere on the radio and a daily play today on Classic Rock radio stations across the nation !! 👍📻🎶
You got the pronunciation right, gentlemen! A Bonham classic. The next track is one of their greatest, live especially. TY!
Yes, yes…Hell Yea!!! Next…No Quarter 🎉
Oh Lord, No Quarter up next!

thanks for keeping me from having to explain it ..Rock & Roll Refugee..
I never knew that, funny.
As in "No, you don't have to go..."
@@raybishop1130 And the fact that it's an early reggae- influenced tune.
But here "make her" is did you boink her?
They did EVERYTHING!
Great name led zeppelin 4 outstanding musicians a one off band
The bass is so incredible.
One of my favs!!!❤❤❤
Probably my Fav Zep album. They're continuing to grow and mature, even after the great 4th album. They're continuing to go to new places with variety. I consider everything up to this to be the 1st collection, everything after to be the next collection.
One of my favorite drum tracks of all time. So huge, but with so much space. A sneaky Zeppelin classic, even if the metal bros love to hate it.
Cool track, Bonham and Jones thought that this take was an initial run through, not for the record, so it was very loose. They wanted to re-record their parts and Jimmy said it was what he wanted. Great summer tune again off of their summer album for me.
NO QUARTER on the way
You hit it on the head. It has a reggae beat but that Dick Dale guitar twang.
@0:30 LMAO I been listening to Zep since the day it was released and had no freaking clue that was how you say D'yer Mak'er
Excellent description of Zeppelin. Elite. No telling how many times I've listened to them, I'll still shake my head sometimes and think, this sh!t ain't right, no one should be this original and talented.
yes FIRE!

awesome . Would you say Led Zeppelin and their popularity gave them leverage in keeping their record label deal

One of my favorite tracks from them that's rarely reacted to.. I love how their styles switches up. You never know what you'll get with Led Zeppelin 😊
been waiting so patiently for yall to do no quarter, almost there!!
I love this song...
And that's why it's my favorite album
Talk about a good summer song! 🏝️ 🍹 😎
Great reaction. But, the next two! Whew
I love❤ that you guys are discovering my all time favorite band! Im 65 and still rocking out to them on the daily. Your smiles make me smile😍
Great reaction. Love them❤
This song has never set me on fire but it's okay

Still can’t wait for Physical Graffiti!!

Thanks!
thanks guys. Know youre lovin this trip in general, but I honestly need to recommend: In My Time of Dying. Yeah.
The Sean Kingston song Me Love uses the verse from this song. Perhaps you heard that at some point.
Just such an up beat song. Ragae and more pop another different style. That zepp always
So many different sounds. Love it. 😊 glad you like it
Another song critics put down. Again don't know why.
I was in junior high and bought this album because of this song.
I remember as a kid in Jamaica in the 70s hearing this song on the radio
Loved it
Fun fact: John Bonham HATED this song and hated reggae! They never played it live either. I cannot wait for you guys to get to "No Quarter"!
I know that Bonham and Jones didn’t like this song much but I didn’t know that Bonzo didn’t like reggae.
LOL, Oh well.. his loss, more for me to love. Love Reggae, especially Roots, Ska, and Rock Steady old school sounds.
Honestly I agree with Bonz on this one, never cared for this song...but NO QUARTER is one of my top 5 Zep tracks of all time, especially LIVE from the Movie Soundtrack..
That and Achilles' Last Stand
" Hammer of the Gods "

Love this funky cool tune by LZ 🎶 has been a while since I listened to it. Great reaction guys, thanks so much!

Ahhh the High School memories. We would play LZ using a boom box and cassette tape during lunch hanging out in the parking lot.

This is Led Zeppelin's version of Reggae music which was very popular in the 70's..... great reactions
Get ready ...... No Quarter is next .......🧨🧨
@@jonlandin2440 Their not listening to The Song Remains The Same ...are they?
Bono is a force of nature in this song.
Love the last note coming out of the solo
That beat and melodic guitar. Roberts voice there’s no words for how I feel about it.
Had to be a total throwaway when they recorded it, but it became one of their biggest hits
After a one nighter, Plant asked,” Did she leave, or did you make maker her? D’yer Mak’er?
Great. LZ's best album by far.
I was waiting on this one, cuzzo!
This is the original,sean Kingston done a cover called me love
No Quarter. What I would want as my walk out song! Just the intro
Like the new video front page 👍. Yes, correct pronunciation and great reaction
Did You Make Her, as in, she didn't want to go, "D'yer Maker". My favorite LZ album, and yes "No Quarter" is phenomenal. Cheers Gentlemen.
My wife's in the West Indies.
Jamaica?
Nah, she wanted to go.
Check out the band Dread Zeppelin. They were a Zeppelin cover band in the 80s that did their songs in a reggae style with an Elvis impersonator as the vocalist. Very interesting to say the least.

Five
@@garyking6519 He's singing "Fire"
No, it's actually all of them, and they're singing "five", as it was their fifth album.
Ska baby!!!!🤘❤🤟
They're saying "Five" at the end. It was their fifty album.
Love this album, every song is amazing. Love the drums in this track.
Robert Plant finally scored some overdue recognition & 3 Grammy 's for his work with Allison Krause

one of my very favorites. Love your reactions to Zep. Thanks
Great song. It was original zep. You may have heard it before. Got a lot of play on the radio.

You need to watch the live performance of "No Quarter" from Madison Square Garden.
But not the remastered version, the original 12:27 version is superior imho
I have been watching you for some time now, great channel. I, too, am a led zeppelin lover from way back. You need to see The Song RemaIns the Same/Rain Song live at MSG 1973.

I believe at the end they're saying,"Why."
Sounds like “fire” to me, always has. Now I’m going to check the lyrics. Wouldn’t be the first time I got them wrong. 😅
@@martharobison3184 After checking lyric pages...Wow, maybe I've been singing it wrong all these years(since it came out.)
Thanks.
Thank you for correct pronunciation dja maker
Absolutely a fun song; do not take too seriously and hear too often; LZ never played it live.

D’yer Maker (pronounced Jamaica) Alaska. This was a reference to the reggae influence
I think the song it reminds you of is - Me Love by Sean Kingston.
D'yer Maker pronounced Jer Maker ... cockney brit Jamaica... great track guys!!
It might sound familiar because, although it’s their take on reggae, it also sounds ALLOT like some pop music from the late 50’s and early 60’s. Especially the chorus and the Oh, oh oh oh oh oh parts.
Y'all need to check out Dread Zeppelin .
Primarily Zeppelin songs sung by an Elvis impersonator with a reggae beat
"Fire" is the Lyric word at the end of the song....and yeah our generation invented the word usage of "Fire" and your generation now uses it when something is "Hot." The melody of the song originated in the 60's.....where led Zeppelin got their inspiration from an old Reggae tune.
All these different genre's...and they do them all better than anyone...
When you get to No Quarter, you should listen to both the studio and live version from The Song Remains the Same (the original version from '76, not the remastered version). I prefer the live version, but both are classic.
You just never know what you're gonna get with The boys they could do five different styles just on one album alone
D'yermaker is a lot of fun, but prepare yourselves for the follow up.
Jamaica? Ive have never heard that! Where did u guys get that from? I love this 🎵
I always thought it was Dier-Maker LOL
