hey guys im a huge Zeppelin fan and musician. i dont care about being rich or famous but i do want some fans who genuinely enjoy my music. if you take the time to listen to my newest song id really appreciate it.
zeppelin branched into all genres in a way. and about lil' wayne, the reason people think he's so talented is because he writes his music while listening to zeppelin
@Karioca171 I don't know how anyone could think reggae is bad as a genre, you can't deny the amount of emotion and soul in good reggae like toots, marley, tosh; this song too.
I didn't know about the origins of the title. But as an Englishman, I did always pronounce it 'dee yerr maker'. For my money this is one of the best songs ever written.
@Cleciano22 D'yer Ma'ker was actually Led Zeppelin imitating reggae and this song was supposed to be a joke/fun song. None the less this song is amazing.
@Cleciano22 yeah the way british people pronounce it is "jermaker" and it's a play on words from an old joke with the line "did you make her"..as in, "did you fuck her".
@lyonslaforet From a bad old UK joke that goes "My wife's gone to the West Indies,Jamaica? No it was her own decision" (Did you make her) in a British accent,
this song makes me want to strip naked, burst out of my room window, free fall 21 floors, land in the snow, make a snow angel, shiver from the cold, get hypothermia, DIE!, go the pearly gate, say whats up to Saint Peter, do our secret hand shake, look in the directory for Siddhartha (Buddha), find Him, have Him reincarnate me into a frog, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subjects to bring me a computer, listen to this song again, and cry myself to sleep.

Lil Wayne is so much better than this garbage! He actually has talent while rock only talks about killing people while rap is about gettin women and money. The 2 most important thing in ANYONES life. Get this whack ass guitar shit outta here. Lil wayne RAP HALL OF FAME!
@HawksFloyd led zeppelin is better than lil wayne because lil wayne's a fucking poser n his music sucks ass. Lil wayne's shit is just about being rich n stupid. He's not a gangsta, he ain't ever shot anybody. If ur gonna talk about how good rap is, at least talk about good rap. Try some NWA or Tupac, not that pop-ass lil wayne sellout shit. Now go b a teenage girl somewhere else, cuz that's the only ppl that like lil wayne
@HawksFloyd go suck lil waynes dick u idiot. people that truly know about the hip hop genre despise that douchebag. And if you dont like guitar than gtfo outta here and go start conflict with your mom
@HawksFloyd fuck off stupid nigger, lil wayne sucks. this is REAL MUSIC, not that gay ass shit talkin bout killing people and smoking pot. FUCK YOU AND LIL WAYNE, BITCH
@sexybeast507 Sry bros that wasent me. i Love zepplin PINK FLOYD and all the classic music when it was actually good. Sunscribe to my channel neew videos coming soon
Can't get anybetter, born in 1966. I grew up on Rock Music from the 70s. Late 60s, 70s, and early 80s will always be the greatest time of good ole Rock Music.
I wish led zeppeling made a reunion tour on 2012 and they played this song live for the first time, along with "All of my love"(already played live on LZ last perfomance)
And for all you always-gettin'-the-wrong-end-o-th'-word yanks out there, 'd'yer mak'er' also means (in the mouth of a cockney) 'd'yer fuck'er' (did you fuck her?)
Plant&Page in a '70s interview explained the title of this song's a pun&should be pronounced as "Jamaica". "D'yer'maker" spells out how an Englishman might pronounce the phrase "Did you make her".Of course, the title almost always got mispronounced by DJs as "Die-ur-make-ur" (wrong!)
P&P said the title came from this joke:
Man A: "My wife's gone away."
Man B: "Jamaica?"
Man A: "No, she left of her own accord."
-Of course, "Jamaica" also refers to song's quasi-reggae rhythms. There you have it!
@Bobjb999 thank you for that awesome piece of knowledge! i always thought it was dier maker myself, but i like "jamaica" a lot better! lol it actually makes sense
@MrZzachariah13 Hey, blame it on Page & Plant if you don't like the joke! (I think it's funny enough, if not exactly hilarious). They're the ones who told it (to Rolling Stone mag., as I recall). I report it only to give P's&P's explanation for the song's title, not 'cause I think it's a fantastic jape! ...I could add something else that's perhaps already obvious: Both song & joke are about women leaving (& of their own accord!)
This mimics the song and dub reggae, which emerged in Jamaica in the early 70's. Born in Stargroves trial in 1972 when drummer John Bonham played a similar rate to doo wop of the 50's, and then switched to a slower tempo, when there is the influence of reggae. The distinctive sound of the drums were achieved by using three microphones at a considerable distance Bonham battery.
I’ve been listening to all of led Zeppelin since their 1st album came out. This some of the best classic rock-n roll ever made. Nothing like putting on a good set of headphones and letting go!
led zepplin is classic rock. end of story some1 said there pop and some1 said there heavy metal...both failures. although they are kinda like 70s metal
Unless you listen to traditional music, everything you listen to is pop.
Led Zeppelin was a pop band that drew influences from blues, rock n roll, country, folk, traditional music (mainly Celtic and Indian), et cetera. The result was the creation of hard rock. Many metal bands were influenced by hard rock, or Led Zeppelin to be more specific. It is understandable that Zeppelin would be considered metal by some.
@username91ification That's not necessarily true. Although the term pop music originally meant any popular music, it has come to refer to more mainstream, recent styles, usually ones with little by way of originality or creativity. The Beatles were originally a pop band, but transitioned into a more psychedelic and strange, but awesome, sound. Led Zeppelin was never really 'pop' in it's common sense, though they were, and still are, very popular. They were considered hard rock or metal by most.
Tbh, I'm a huge Led Zep fan, but this song is not all that great to me. It's ok, but I prefer some of their earlier work.

Pop music isn't a genre. Pop= popular music.
Unless you listen to traditional music, everything you listen to is pop.
Led Zeppelin was a pop band that drew influences from blues, rock n roll, country, folk, traditional music (mainly Celtic and Indian), et cetera. The result was the creation of hard rock. Many metal bands were influenced by hard rock, or Led Zeppelin to be more specific. It is understandable that Zeppelin would be considered metal by some.

@username91ification That's not necessarily true. Although the term pop music originally meant any popular music, it has come to refer to more mainstream, recent styles, usually ones with little by way of originality or creativity. The Beatles were originally a pop band, but transitioned into a more psychedelic and strange, but awesome, sound. Led Zeppelin was never really 'pop' in it's common sense, though they were, and still are, very popular. They were considered hard rock or metal by most.
