In 1995, I worked for a catering company that catered events for Bill Graham Productions events in California. We were catering for the Cranberries concert at the Berkeley Community Theater, and my boss told me "the lead singer is asking for a vegan meal. Can you make her some lentils?" Lentils are something I knew I made really well, thankfully. I made sure to season them with a touch of Indian spices, and added fresh tomato, onion, garlic, olive oil...anyway, about an hour later, a tiny lady appeared at the entrance of our dungeon-like, dark kitchen deep within the windowless depths of the Theater. She asked "who made the lentils?" I raised my hand up and she said "thanks very much. They are delicious!" I was so happy and on such a high from that. I think of it everytime I hear them😌
I managed to score a ticket to see The Cranberries at The Albert Hall in London.. just amazing. Somehow i found myself at the front and sang my soul out to Dolores. At the time I was working as a motocycle courier and a couple of days later I was waiting outside MTV studios. A car pulled up and Dolores got out.. i said "hello Dolores," she turned around to me and turned back. Then she turned back to me,pointed at me and said "you".. And her smile.. so beautiful.. miss you.
Saw this group live once at Great Woods in Mansfield, MA. Very accomplished, tight performance fronted by Delores’s powerful yet angelic vocals. Totally blew me away!
You gotta respect the bandmates for letting the band name rest with her and not attempt to milk it after her passing without her like a lot of bands have tried.
I remember being a teenager listening the whole albums completely: no need to argue and everybody else is doing it… I also discovered the Smiths because of The Cranberries mentioning them as one of their influences. RIP Dolores
I remember listening to linger for the first time. And I remember how beautiful the band sounded. To this day I could recognize the song even if other songs are playing. One of the most memorable bands that I know.
Dreams is my favorite Cranberries song. I got to see them twice. Once in New Jersey and a second time in Toronto. I was so sad when I heard about Dolores' passing. It hit me hard. She had such a beautiful voice.
I love the cranberries there one of my favorite bands loved Dolores voice incredible performer she is still missed Rest In Peace Dolores your never forgotten.
Loved the Cranberries as musicians, songwriters and performers. R.I.P Delores I was on board from the early years and still listen to their albums today! This Rock and Roll true story has invigorated me to put on the back catalogue again.. On vinyl of course ;) Sadly not all of their records are available on said format :(
Wow I didn’t even know she passed. I missed a lot of events in pop culture during my military career (US Army 1995-2019) feels like everyday I find out about a song, movie, game, etc., thats 10-15years old that I never knew existed. Same with celebrity deaths…it fees like I’m constantly hearing about someone who died and I had no clue.
I'm a child of the 90's and from the moment I heard the Cranberries I fell in love with the band! There sound is very unique and Dolores had such an amazing voice! It's always sad to hear about the death of anyone so young however I had to take a moment of silence with the passing of Dolores O'Riordan and Robin Williams! Free to Decide and Zombie always made me think about bigger issues growing up and I feel like they will always be relevant. Recently, the song Zombie came into my thoughts when I was watching a news update about the war in Ukraine, which is also very sad! It's truly an amazing song when almost anyone can relate and it brings up such strong emotions! I hope her family is doing well and has some peace since her passing, she will be missed by so many!
I was so in love with Delores. Its so sad. I miss her. It's awesome I'm 39 but now my 14 year old daughter is totally into them. So beautiful. I've been addicted to heroin over 20 years. Molested as a kid. I get the trauma that haunted her. What id give for just one hug and kiss from her- ❤️
TfromD(etroit). Undealt with childhood trauma is always at the core of all our issues. Have you done any introspective work on ur trauma. Recovery work will facilitate ur recovery process to deliver u from heroin addiction if that is what u desire. God bless you.

I really got hooked up on Cranberries when they released "wake up..." Then it almost become an addiction. After hearing "Analyse" on radio, I recognized the voice, and I started getting the earlier albums. Dolores' unique style and the band's harmony was something special. I saw their concert in Montreal, Canada in 2002, and just facing the stage, I witnessed first hand how good they were. Still in my top 5 favorite bands to this day. RIP Dolores...
Im.a year older than her and in mid 90s was living in london. A colleague of my then english fiancè asked me were all irish girls small, feisty, proud and unapologetically themselves. My answer Hell Yeah!!!! Linger still transports me to first seeing them on irish tv before the world discovered them
In the autumn of 1993 while I was in college, The Cranberries started receiving heavy rotation on many FM radio stations. Little internet back in those days. you were introduced to new music through either radio, MTV or a friend. Much simpler time
I remember the songs, and the band, but never knew much about them. Deloris seemed like a very genuine person, down to earth with a good heart. So sad to hear of her passing when it seemed like her life was going well.
Her death was one that hit me so so hard...she was my vocal influence since forever and just had this feel that she was such a beautiful soul ... Layne Staley hit hard too- both were two of my favorite singers...
I was always a metal head, but when the Cranberries came on the scene, I was hooked. And being from the north of Ireland, Zombie perfectly summed up the feelings and experiences I had growing up throughout the 'troubles' (it was a war).... I was living in England at the time those bombs were going off, and I hate to say it, but I was cold-shouldered by a few people, just because of my nationality. Rest in peace, sweet Dolores. I'm sorry you left before your time.
I moved to london the month after canary wharf bombing in 96. NOT a good time to be an irish catholic in UK. Regularly faced racism in city of london financial hub. Regularly asked if i was in the IRA by morons. Not to mention being blamed for no bins in london (because of you lot). Someone stood up on an open floor office with 300 odd people and said Ive upset XXX od better check under my car in future..... yep fun times. Can you imagine that flying now.....
When i saw the video was 26 minutes long my first thought was 'What the hell' ? After watching the video i understood..I owe you an apology sir. As usual,you have done GREAT work...My heart goes out to the band and to her family. Such a shame.
She was so hott and I had a crush on her growing up. Had her poster on my wall when I was a teenager. It’s very sad what happened tbh. She was a good person. May God bless her
I was in college when Dreams came out and my college radio station kept playing it, it was a very comforting song to me back then, i was struggling with college life and escaping to my own dream world a lot.
I took my then girlfriend to the Cranberries in ‘95. I wasn’t a fan but she was. Dolores had the most amazing stage presence. I’ve seen so many shows and this one made me a fan. One of the top 10 shows I’ve seen out of close to 250 others.
Ive spent my whole life as a trauma doctor and one who appreiates the greatness of people like Delores and the greatest of all time Elvis. But 35 years in trauma I've learned the hard way, with greatness you pay a price especially in the music business. I wish it wasn't this way but some of the greatest entainers of all time have left way before their time, Elvis the greatest example. Delores had a a special sound that will always be hers. Wish I could of help stop what happen to all of them but we know its too late now. I wish they were still here but that's a perfect world just makes me sad their gone
i watched them live in 2011 in Shanghai China and just to show you how popular they are in Asia, a few of their songs are on the Karaoke bars and machines. most played song being Zombie.....
Yes but the...DOLORES as a name for a girl is the difference.dolor..is like ouch..pain.for her it's a bit more subtle.although sorrow is quite the same...sad 🙏 rip
I remember getting handed the 2 song cassette sampler of the cranberries at a concert in Clevelandin the early 90s.i was sold!🤘🔥 I miss those days. R.I.P Delores
As a Canadian, I was always really touched by how much Dolores and her family loved Canada. They would visit Canada often for vacations when she wasnt touring and if Im not mistaken they even had a second home here at some point
I was shocked when I learned of Dolores O'Riordan's passing. The Cranberries are a landmark in Rock History and it was a tragic loss. Btw. back in the mid 80s the "boombox" was called either Stereo or more popularly Ghettoblaster.
Zombie was one of the best songs ever i remember it was in heavy rotation at mtv i love it the minute I heard it still one of my favorites till this day "linger" is also my favorite i didn't hear it till 1998 but everything is perfect about it from the music to the melody memories from the era allways make me happy so its allways a joy to hear
How sad. I interned for an alternative station while in college and had the unbelievable opportunity to introduce the Cranberries and The The back in like 1995. Afterwards, I went to meet the bands, and there Delores was, big as life. The band was partying HARD! Was an absolutely amazing show.
They were one of my favorite bands in my early childhood - I still enjoy those first two albums. Dolores’ death is one of the few celebrity deaths over the last few years that has hurt for me
Hey man. This was a great insight to a big component of music for their time. The experiences of these bands are all gripping tales. I hope Delores had some satisfaction throughout the challenges. We all loved what she achieved. I can't wait to see the Sundays video also. A major band too for me for melodies and vocal delivery. Amazing you have explored The Sundays truly. I know what work is involved with putting this content together. Keep up your efforts, this is great. Cheers from Glenn in Australia.
Timeless music is the best because you can enjoy it as much today and tomorrow as you did yesterday. Dolores and The Cranberries have that quality. I wish she were still around. RIP.
If your a cranberries fan watch the NPR tiny desk concert , of them in an office with just an acoustic guitar , can’t have been to long before she passed , it great to hear her in that setting
Zombie is not my favorite song of theirs but it is so catchy. Every time I pick up a guitar or bass I get the urge to play it. Lyric wise it is deep and I imagine really heart felt for her.
I'm sat here crying for Jonathan ball, his father, and his mother. What I And my friends did to wilf ball taunting him, throwing things at his car , calling him all kinds makes me worse than anyone else I know. I could never ever ever begin to imagine what Jonathan's father had to put up with before he lost his treasure of a beautiful son. Bless 🙌
I tried, I really did try to listen to this video, but after 30 seconds, I just could not handle listening to his voice, ending every sentence, with an upswing.
In '94 I lived on a farm in Saugerties NY (my home town) on Churchland Lane, MTV came & rented out the farm as a homebase for MTV's Woodstock '94 coverage. At one point that weekend I looked out my window & there was Dolores preparing for an interview, so I said "I love you Dolores" & she replied " I love you too". As a 19 year old kid living on sight of the fest that weekend was filled with numerous unforgettable memories, but that moment was by far the highlight.
Idk man. It seems petty still. They could've done it silently, without a photo op. Or even waited to release the single to mourn her passing. It feels leveraged.
So sad. She had a cottage near me in Ontario, Canada. My brother delivered furniture to her with me and she played the piano for us and she had one of her kids there. She was so polite and generous. I've been a fan from the start. She was so talented and had her own style which she never wavered from. She fought to make sure she would be heard. With all that she went through I believe she didn't kill herself on purpose. She just wanted to relax and zone out and clear her head. Bi-polar disorder is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Having 2 children to care for in a very busy lifestyle breaks my heart for her. The stress she had to endure must have been debilitating. She is missed. RiP Dolores.
I met Dolores in 93 while working as a stagehand at a Hothouse Flowers concert in Hannover, Germany where the Cranberries were the support band. Initially, we didn't get along, but finally I asked for her autograph and she wrote "Nice to meet you. Love, Dolores xx". She gave me a big hug. A pleasant memory of a good human being.
I cried when I heard of her death, and I'm a Grandma in my 60's. My kids had all the Cranberries CDs in the 90's, and somehow they all ended up with ME. Just like their Alanis Morissette and Joan Osborne.
Yep, we were truly blessed to go to high school in the 90's, especially being fed a constant stream of brilliant music, and nobody had cell phones or social media!!!
I was living near Belfast when Zombie was released. The troubles were tiring people out and nobody wanted it to continue except the gangsters making money from it and those indoctrinated into the paramilitaries, who had lost loved ones and were still hell bent on revenge. What made this stand out was that it was like a breath of fresh air, giving the regular folks in Northern Ireland a song they could relate to. A song that predicated the signing of the peace treaty. The people didn't want it anymore and this song reflected it perfectly. Everyone I knew would talk about the song, sing the song and when it came on MTV it was always a blessing.
Well covered sir! I'm from Northern Ireland. Zombie was a massive hit when it was released because it spoke of the horror of the Troubles and united kids from both NI and the Republic of Ireland. The band crashed onto the scene with a bang. I was studying performing arts at the time, and they were everywhere. A massive influence on all of us, even the metal heads. They proved that Irish bands really could make something of themselves and that Irishness no longer represented a roadblock to success. Long live Dolores' memory. She was a true inspiration and one of the finest singers our island has produced.
I had an Irish girlfriend back when Cranberries got huge and she loved them (and everything Irish to be fair) So I kinda dismissed them but they soon grew on me as you just couldn't escape Zombie, Linger and Dreams in the 90s. Now I love them, Dolores voice is hauntingly beautiful and the tunes are incredible. Now, hearing their songs reminds me of my first girlfriend and easier, simpler, happier times in the 90s. RIP Dolores, you certainly made a big impact on music across the world and your legend lives on!
@Disturbed haha! I met her large family too, all of them loving my surname (Kennedy is a surname with Irish origins) and blue eyes (all of them insisting that I had Irish eyes) but I'm English through and through. Plus they'd be talking of marriage and I was only 17-early 20s, marriage being the last thing on my mind at that age.
@@Twobarpsi no, medium brown hair. My ex wife had ginger hair but our 3 children (2 girls and a boy) all took after me (blonde hair when young and going to medium brown when older) Hopefully they don't get my premature greying hair! My son (he lives with me) in particular is like a mini, cuter, better looking clone of me.
I absolutely loved The Cranberries, never heard anything of theirs I didn't like, as for Dolores, what a talent! A unique voice, great songwriting and so, SO beautiful!!
One of my metalhead buddies went to see the Cranberries, he gushed about how good they were and how beautiful Delores was. For months. He was not wrong, though.
@@jamesmacoisdealbhaigh9904 Word my man. Exactly 30 almost 31 years since I bought my own first albums. Thankfully, my dad had extremely good musical tastes he was into Metallica, Celtic frost, Maiden etc etc while I wasn't even in school yet. Been surrounded by great music my whole life. Gratefully.
Don’t you hate it when you get a cranberries song stuck in your heeeeeeead, in your heeeeeeeead, in your head, in your head, in your hea, hea, hea, head……..
I heard "linger" when I was 15 years old. I still remember the first time I heard it. It was like something from another world and it completely blew me away. Her Irish gate and folkish angelic voice put me in a trance and till this day I'd say it's the song that turned me onto music. Thank you Dolores!
Being in High School when they hit big was amazing. We’d just had Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sublime, and now here came the Cranberries. Such a different sound and message. Zombie was heartbreakingly beautiful and sad at the same time. When I heard that she was going to do the new version I was so excited! Bad Wolves seemed like a good fit. Then the news that she passed came out. I cried like a baby that day. Another piece of my teenage years gone too soon. Thank you @Rock N’ Roll True Stories for this great video. Great job covering Delores. RIP sweet angel, I hope you have peace, rest and feel safe now.
@@GermanShepherdDaphne so much fun. The last of the no evidence, unless someone took pictures. Finding $5 meant enough for Taco Bell and gas money to the beach.
Her songs tap into emotions we dont even realize we have or can feel. Its MAGIC, Everytime I hear her I turn it up, stop what I am doing and fade into another place I don't wanna come back from, that is the POWER of The Cranberries
Dolores and her wonderful band The Cranberries saved me from suicide on several occasions. Their music speaks to my soul, RIP, Dolores your beautiful spirit is missed.
I remember when I first heard The Cranberries singing "Linger", I thought the band had two female lead vocalists and that they harmonized so beautifully together. I had no clue it was just Dolores's voice on top of her own voice. What an incredible talent and beautiful soul. Rest in paradise, Dolores.
In 1995, I worked for a catering company that catered events for Bill Graham Productions events in California. We were catering for the Cranberries concert at the Berkeley Community Theater, and my boss told me "the lead singer is asking for a vegan meal. Can you make her some lentils?"

She was a lovely lady
As a fellow vegan - reading this has made me hungry!
Aw, that’s so sweet! ❤️ I didn’t even know she’d passed until this video popped in my feed. 😕
That is so cool!
Nice story!Thanks for sharing. Everything that stays after us are these verbal,non-verbal emotions we have been given to others

Ireland has produced some really genuine meaningful music. Never met an Irish person I didn't like. Glad to hear they finally have peace.
I remember listening to linger for the first time. And I remember how beautiful the band sounded. To this day I could recognize the song even if other songs are playing. One of the most memorable bands that I know.

Ode to my family
Don’t forget pretty
I love the cranberries there one of my favorite bands loved Dolores voice incredible performer she is still missed Rest In Peace Dolores your never forgotten.
Some of their songs will live forever. Rip Dolores, and all the best wishes to her kids, family and band members.
Most underrated Cranberries songs are 'So Cold In Ireland,' 'Them,' and 'Nothing Left at All.'
Hollywood and Astral Projection

what a shame that you connected during their worst album and era, hopefully that means that you found lots of gems on previous albums ;)

Dolores comes from the Latin "dolor" meaning "sorrow." How tragically fitting.

Dolores means pains in Spanish
@Nicky L they mean exactly the same.

Sweet Dolores saw "the whole of the moon".... And all who listened and heard were blessed with her magic...
Nice Waterboys reference that fits well
@@PatchouliPenny love the waterboys!
@@pickettmandi same! Been a long time since I listened to them though.
Hey man. This was a great insight to a big component of music for their time. The experiences of these bands are all gripping tales. I hope Delores had some satisfaction throughout the challenges. We all loved what she achieved. I can't wait to see the Sundays video also. A major band too for me for melodies and vocal delivery. Amazing you have explored The Sundays truly. I know what work is involved with putting this content together. Keep up your efforts, this is great. Cheers from Glenn in Australia.
Good Docu-video of her life and death. I learned so much I never knew about her. Thank You
Timeless music is the best because you can enjoy it as much today and tomorrow as you did yesterday. Dolores and The Cranberries have that quality. I wish she were still around. RIP.
If your a cranberries fan watch the NPR tiny desk concert , of them in an office with just an acoustic guitar , can’t have been to long before she passed , it great to hear her in that setting
Zombie is such a great and powerful song. Dreams too. Rest in peace, Dolores. You were beautiful in so many ways.
Thls band help me out over the depression problem. God bless you.
It's a wild story ,the Cranberries.Deloras voice was mesmerizing, haunting in a melodic way.The band pure passion rock
My absolute favorite bands ever
It was very sad news for me. It was nice to learn more about her.
The dance song at my wedding was linger my wife died in 2007 RIP. Toni❤xxxxx
Actually practicing the song zombie on my drum kit right now.. best vocals ever
Zombie is not my favorite song of theirs but it is so catchy. Every time I pick up a guitar or bass I get the urge to play it. Lyric wise it is deep and I imagine really heart felt for her.
Saw them live around 1997, they were awesome. She was an angel RIP Dolores
No 😢 I didn’t realize she was even gone . Where have I been? I love her
So comforting to a hear Canadian narrator. I knew right away. Don't often hear it on TH-cam.
Rock on, eh!!
I'm sat here crying for Jonathan ball, his father, and his mother.
What I And my friends did to wilf ball taunting him, throwing things at his car , calling him all kinds makes me worse than anyone else I know.
I could never ever ever begin to imagine what Jonathan's father had to put up with before he lost his treasure of a beautiful son.
Bless 🙌
She had a beautiful.voice, died too soon. RIP!
Saw them Woodstock 94. So powerful, such great sound....
I love how they show a picture of Pat Benetar not Delores Orierdon.
Zombieee, Zombieee Zom ahm beeeeee eee eee eei! It is so classic of an addiction to syllables in harmony. Zombieee ee ee ayeeee
I tried, I really did try to listen to this video, but after 30 seconds, I just could not handle listening to his voice, ending every sentence, with an upswing.
I was very sad when I heard the news of her passing. What a voice!
Exactly how that feels but your passion does come back after you take a little bit of a break
When I first heard them I was convinced her singing was two separate singers: a main and a back-up.
RIP to the Irish angel. She had one of the most beautiful voices that has ever been heard.
Yes indeed!
Aye
You're kidding, right?
@@Varen1667what do you mean they’re kidding??? One of the greatest voices!!!
@@Varen1667 You have terrible ears. You must be tone deaf.
In '94 I lived on a farm in Saugerties NY (my home town) on Churchland Lane, MTV came & rented out the farm as a homebase for MTV's Woodstock '94 coverage. At one point that weekend I looked out my window & there was Dolores preparing for an interview, so I said "I love you Dolores" & she replied " I love you too". As a 19 year old kid living on sight of the fest that weekend was filled with numerous unforgettable memories, but that moment was by far the highlight.
that was beyond solid for Bad Wolves to hand over the proceeds of their "Zombie" rendition to Dolores' children. much respect to them for that.
❤ 🕊
Yep, it's good to see humanity in a world often devoid of it...
Im still on the pre video ad....they did that??? Thats awesome!!
The only thing Bad Wolves sis that was ok!
Idk man. It seems petty still. They could've done it silently, without a photo op. Or even waited to release the single to mourn her passing. It feels leveraged.
So sad. She had a cottage near me in Ontario, Canada. My brother delivered furniture to her with me and she played the piano for us and she had one of her kids there. She was so polite and generous. I've been a fan from the start. She was so talented and had her own style which she never wavered from. She fought to make sure she would be heard. With all that she went through I believe she didn't kill herself on purpose. She just wanted to relax and zone out and clear her head. Bi-polar disorder is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Having 2 children to care for in a very busy lifestyle breaks my heart for her. The stress she had to endure must have been debilitating. She is missed. RiP Dolores.
Really? I have a cottage in ON. Wonder what area?
Wow yes very sad I bet she was so awesome to know RIP and never forgotten
Cool
What lake was it on? I thought I had heard it was Buckhorn or Stony
@@glennbradley5888 between Pigeon and Little Bald somewhere
I met Dolores in 93 while working as a stagehand at a Hothouse Flowers concert in Hannover, Germany where the Cranberries were the support band. Initially, we didn't get along, but finally I asked for her autograph and she wrote "Nice to meet you. Love, Dolores xx".
She gave me a big hug.
A pleasant memory of a good human being.
Now knowing her diagnosis, I can see why you felt you weren't getting along with her, when all along, she actually liked you.
@@tigergreg8 That's quite a leap of logic. Curious as to why they actually didn't get along.
It's not about you ass.
Go back and look at your note. I'm sure she wrote "Dolores"
I cried when I heard of her death, and I'm a Grandma in my 60's. My kids had all the Cranberries CDs in the 90's, and somehow they all ended up with ME. Just like their Alanis Morissette and Joan Osborne.
Me too. I loved her voice. So sad..
Alanis Morissette im so sorry for you
@TRIX Alanis MoreUpset lol (bit tacky for a pun here but you opened the door, mate!)
@@kittenfuud
Alanis Morissette sucks although opinions are like @$$hol$ everyone has one
@@trix9438 lol even Alanis.
I was in high school in the 90's and I just loved them. Her death was SO shocking.
Yep, we were truly blessed to go to high school in the 90's, especially being fed a constant stream of brilliant music, and nobody had cell phones or social media!!!
Yeah, her death along with Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, Chester Bennington, etc are all highly suspicious in my opinion.
@@joshuayettou3552 yes, soaked in bleach was very interesting
When did she die?
disheveled? she die?
I was living near Belfast when Zombie was released. The troubles were tiring people out and nobody wanted it to continue except the gangsters making money from it and those indoctrinated into the paramilitaries, who had lost loved ones and were still hell bent on revenge. What made this stand out was that it was like a breath of fresh air, giving the regular folks in Northern Ireland a song they could relate to. A song that predicated the signing of the peace treaty. The people didn't want it anymore and this song reflected it perfectly. Everyone I knew would talk about the song, sing the song and when it came on MTV it was always a blessing.
The song was released after the peace treaty was signed...
@@Jreb1865No it wasn’t….the song was released in ‘94. The peace accords happened years later, around 1998. Lazy dumb comment.
@@Jreb1865, the song was released in 1994, when the peace treaty was signed in 1998.
Well covered sir! I'm from Northern Ireland. Zombie was a massive hit when it was released because it spoke of the horror of the Troubles and united kids from both NI and the Republic of Ireland. The band crashed onto the scene with a bang. I was studying performing arts at the time, and they were everywhere. A massive influence on all of us, even the metal heads. They proved that Irish bands really could make something of themselves and that Irishness no longer represented a roadblock to success. Long live Dolores' memory. She was a true inspiration and one of the finest singers our island has produced.
And the band was, basically, a, 'One Hit Wonder'.
@@samr.england613yeah a bigoted Catholic demonic one at that.
@@samr.england613 Not even close. Zombie was on their 2nd album. Linger was fantastic. They had so many good songs.
You just really pissed me off
I had an Irish girlfriend back when Cranberries got huge and she loved them (and everything Irish to be fair) So I kinda dismissed them but they soon grew on me as you just couldn't escape Zombie, Linger and Dreams in the 90s. Now I love them, Dolores voice is hauntingly beautiful and the tunes are incredible. Now, hearing their songs reminds me of my first girlfriend and easier, simpler, happier times in the 90s. RIP Dolores, you certainly made a big impact on music across the world and your legend lives on!
Irish women are so lovely 😍
@@buzzbear822 lovely and a little crazy too. Like the reputation the Irish have, she could drink like a fish too haha!
@Disturbed haha! I met her large family too, all of them loving my surname (Kennedy is a surname with Irish origins) and blue eyes (all of them insisting that I had Irish eyes) but I'm English through and through. Plus they'd be talking of marriage and I was only 17-early 20s, marriage being the last thing on my mind at that age.
Red hair and blue eyes?
@@Twobarpsi no, medium brown hair. My ex wife had ginger hair but our 3 children (2 girls and a boy) all took after me (blonde hair when young and going to medium brown when older) Hopefully they don't get my premature greying hair! My son (he lives with me) in particular is like a mini, cuter, better looking clone of me.
I absolutely loved The Cranberries, never heard anything of theirs I didn't like, as for Dolores, what a talent! A unique voice, great songwriting and so, SO beautiful!!
May you find the peace in death that you could not find in life. Rest In Peace Dolores O'Riordan. 🇮🇪🌹🥀✝️
❤🕊 Dolores.
Very, very well said God bless you for your thoughtful comment 🙏🙏🙏
lol nice From Dusk till Dawn reference!
She truly suffered, it's so extremely s@d but no one cn hurt her now🙏
@@evelina787 May Zeus bless him (?) as well.
One of my metalhead buddies went to see the Cranberries, he gushed about how good they were and how beautiful Delores was. For months. He was not wrong, though.
I think every Metalhead loves The Cranberries..
Dude. Love em. We do listen to shut other than metal ya know
@@DetroitFettyghost I know as I've been listening to Maiden and Metallica up to the heaviest Death and Black metal for the past 30 years..
@@jamesmacoisdealbhaigh9904 Word my man. Exactly 30 almost 31 years since I bought my own first albums. Thankfully, my dad had extremely good musical tastes he was into Metallica, Celtic frost, Maiden etc etc while I wasn't even in school yet. Been surrounded by great music my whole life. Gratefully.
@@DetroitFettyghost Truth. Especially as I get older.
Don’t you hate it when you get a cranberries song stuck in your heeeeeeead, in your heeeeeeeead, in your head, in your head, in your hea, hea, hea, head……..
😂 my dad used to say in the mornings, "get out of beeeed, out of beeeed"
ESP,when you hear that Limerick accent every day of your life,when you live in Limerick!
I heard "linger" when I was 15 years old. I still remember the first time I heard it. It was like something from another world and it completely blew me away. Her Irish gate and folkish angelic voice put me in a trance and till this day I'd say it's the song that turned me onto music. Thank you Dolores!
Took the words right out of the Aussie blokes mouth , what a tune
Being in High School when they hit big was amazing. We’d just had Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sublime, and now here came the Cranberries. Such a different sound and message. Zombie was heartbreakingly beautiful and sad at the same time. When I heard that she was going to do the new version I was so excited! Bad Wolves seemed like a good fit. Then the news that she passed came out. I cried like a baby that day. Another piece of my teenage years gone too soon. Thank you @Rock N’ Roll True Stories for this great video. Great job covering Delores. RIP sweet angel, I hope you have peace, rest and feel safe now.
Cranberries just had such a new and unique sound. Fantastic group
@@gatorman5932 yes they did.
Loved being a teenager in the 90's. I miss those times
@@GermanShepherdDaphne so much fun. The last of the no evidence, unless someone took pictures. Finding $5 meant enough for Taco Bell and gas money to the beach.
@@mza2195 I was also a teen in the 90’s. They were the BEST!! Kind of feel bad what these kids go through today.
Her songs tap into emotions we dont even realize we have or can feel. Its MAGIC, Everytime I hear her I turn it up, stop what I am doing and fade into another place I don't wanna come back from, that is the POWER of The Cranberries
Her voice will live forever
Seriously. Their debut album is something I’ve never heard before. Haunting almost
Dolores and her wonderful band The Cranberries saved me from suicide on several occasions. Their music speaks to my soul, RIP, Dolores your beautiful spirit is missed.
My drummer buddy was the drum tech for them up until her death, they were all blown away about it and a very sad state of affairs. R I P sweetheart.
I remember when I first heard The Cranberries singing "Linger", I thought the band had two female lead vocalists and that they harmonized so beautifully together. I had no clue it was just Dolores's voice on top of her own voice. What an incredible talent and beautiful soul.
Rest in paradise, Dolores.
