[Guerrillablackdog]

Dude, D'yer Mak'er is pronounced "Jamaica". Like the country. Nice tutorial though! :D

[bonzoleum]

@Guerrillablackdog I refer to it here as a lot of folks know it as 'Die-Er Maker' and not as Jamaica/Did you make her..

i love how you stick out your tongue, i remember Lars Ulrich doing that on the Time Warp Metallica show... don't change it!

[DarthBelch0]

The people who dont like D'yer are the people who are afraid of something different. This song and the Crunge are two of my favs form them. I'm looking to get a set soon. Love Bonham's work, can't wait to play along with Zep.

great vids!

[alanschererbatera]

Always look your videos. They are very good. I showed it to my friends. Congratulations

[bonzoleum]

Thank you, Alan! Your videos are great too!

fun choice!

[bonzoleum]

Thank you!

Bonham/Zep almost universally /gotget a bad wrap for this song from critics, but it's actually a very cool song with a great groove with great bass & drum interplay.

If you don't look at it "as an attempt at reggae"(as critics all seem to do), but as just a song as it is, it's terrific!

[fuhkinay]

The other thing about this song that is so great is that you can really hear the drums! So many Zep songs have the drums so buried in the mix that it's hard to tell what Bonham was playing. In this tune, they are right there in your face. Love it!

[TSRTS1]

Haha! You're so right about the critics... Zep always took stuff like this and made it their own. Rock, Blues, Reggae, Folk, Rockabilly, you name it, the boys put their brand on it and made it a "Zeppelin song". Never another like 'em, before, then or since.
