My First Time Hearing Bad Wolves cover of Zombies

[@adonirammedrano4685]

The dudes voice is amazing! I feel like the original by The Cranberries was a sad/haunting plea for change and Bad Wolves version is an angry message of that change not happening...at least to me it does. I had the same reaction you did to this cover. Great video reaction!

[@davidemery4759]

I love that take:)

[@gavinexton8665]

I absolutely agree especially when you know the tragic true story behind why the song was written and the pain and suffering the families who lost loved ones during the troubles. Such a powerful song

[@cheftuan]

I absolutely agree.

[@jerpanils8875]

Never apologize for raw emotions. This is proof of the masterpiece that is this song and the message Dolores wanted to get out and the love Bad Wolves put into it when they covered it.

[@lessimeharuhi4236]

They have the same haunting sorrow that Delores had in her original version of the song. You can hear it in the ends of some of his grunge notes, it almost sounds like a choked sob, almost like he's crying

[@dimeolas777]

Only time ive cried in the last ten years was at my parents funerals. I dont cry, except this song. Its so powerful and touching, both to what the original song speaks to and to the tribute for a wonderful lady. God bless and keep her.

[@nutzer1337]

"remember when" is also a great song which you could listen to. He has a story to tell in this song. HIS story.

[@kingkong5750]

Yup great song

[@devincrawford6383]

King Kong yo King Kong I can’t wait for you next movie against Godzilla you scary bro hahahahahahaha

[@mr.osclasses5054]

The most heartbreaking thing I took from this is what I got from the woman depicting Dolores. I could be wrong, but to me it seems as if she is coming up to the veil between this world and the next. She touches it and can't get through, and as the song progresses she continues to try, but the veil becomes thicker and muddier. The more she tries to get through, the further she is from being able to until the final chorus when she is desperately trying to claw her way back into our world, but the faster and harder she tries, the faster it closes until she can no longer see us and we cannot see her. If I'm correct, it is a beautiful piece of symbolism that is also incredibly tragic to think about.

[@caretaker158]

I don't know how in the world I missed this reaction but better late than never.... I agree with you wholeheartedly. That was the first thing I thought too. Her looking on, not being able to add her voice the way she wanted... amazingly powerful imagery that I have yet to make it through without a HUGE lump in my throat and more than one tear in my eye.

[@midnytemassacre]

Well, I mean.. I thought it was a given but maybe few remember the original Cranberries video. Dolores was in gold paint, sure, most remember this but the original was also in response to two teenage boys who were collateral damage to a bombing. Depicted in the video were young kids, painted in gold, symbolizing pretty much this.. screaming out but unheard. This carries that on.

[@seneca1932]

I need to be able to like this more than once. Well said.

[@mr.osclasses5054]

@@midnytemassacre I understand the nod to the original video, but I am more talking about what the actress playing her is doing in THIS video.

[@Daytruin]

i think there can be multiple interpretations as there is often with art, but the veil depiction seems right to me. Though i see it as her trying to repeat her message even in death that senseless violence needs to stop. In death she has lost her voice but her music for as long as it is played still serves as a warning and as time goes on she and her message fades, only to have others carry the torch and speak for her. Bad wolves in this way serves as a kind of speaker for the dead making sure her message carries on as well as any others who would do the same. In any case i doubt this song will ever be forgotten unless we see some kind of purge of art and culture as was attempted by Nazi's and others seeking to re-write history in order to get us to forget the evil they committed in order to bring us their visions of what utopia should be. Utopia brought upon by way of unforgivable atrocities is never the way and there are those who need to know that more than anyone out there.

[@quetsalkoatl]

This cover always makes me tear up a little. It's so powerful and beautiful. Thank you for reacting to this. I LOVE it. RIP Dolores

[@normahopwood8295]

If wondering what the woman in gold represented - original Cranberries release Delores was the woman in gold in clip and they changed a few lyrics to bring it up to date. Great tribute and cover of a great song. ❤️🇦🇺

Yes I got that ... beautiful wasn’t it ! 💓💓💓

[@lakeeffectcandlesllc2818]

Bad Wolves actually put out a behind the scenes video for this that confirmed the woman in the gold paint was to represent Delores, and was done as way tribute to her. Here is a link to that behind the scenes video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaKnl4iPrKaDe5I

First time hearing this version. Absolutely blown away. I would give 3 thumbs up if possible

[@willl84]

Don't apologize for your emotions. Your emotions are the reason this song was made. If music doesn't give you emotions it's useless. I'm a grown man and I get chills and goosebumps from Tommy's vocals every time I hear it. If you want to listen to another amazing cover check out Sound Of Silence by Disturbed.

they put theyre souls into it ,dolores is with the angels cheering for them

[@andrewfurey2999]

I've listened to this song alot and it still makes me cry.

[@thomasschmidt1836]

The story behind the story was that Bad Wolves were going to cover the song and feature Delores O'riordon. They were to meet her in London to begin rehearsals at the studio the day after she was found. The band took some time and in tribute to her filmed and released this video of the song

[@coyotej4895]

My Daughter was a mess the day Dolores died, I was a mess the day I hurd this for the first time. I get ya, -.- R.I.P. Dolores.

[@athenstar10]

Zombie opened my hears to rock music when I was a kid, so Cranberries songs for me, is untouchable.. Very skeptic when I saw this video on my recommendations. Then I played... on the firstfew words I got goosebumps and felt Dolores' presence.

[@ethangospodareck]

This actually was my introduction to Badwolves. The power and artistry here is breathtaking. Fantastic tribute and cover.

I was introduced to Bad Wolves through your reaction. If you haven't yet I'd like to see your reaction to Five Finger Death Punch "Wrong Side of Heaven". It deals with PTSD and the plight of veterans in America. Thank you

[@jamesgoldman6942]

What's amazing they turned a cover of an iconic song into a tribute for an iconic singer. For two things happened here. They made the greatest most tasteful cover ever and they performed Bad Wolves as made the greatest tribute song ever. Tremendous reaction!

[@helabelle4362]

For me this one hits harder than the original and I love the Cranberries version and it's ok that you needed to cry Gitanna.

[@andrebrodbeck3883]

Yes the story about Dolores and his voice combined makes it way harder.

[@dantonliam]

I’m a big tough 51 year old man and this song makes me tear up everytime... so much emotion in his voice

[@kristnicholson3401]

This is the song that got me into Bad Wolves, its one of the best cover versions I have ever heard of any song. I saw a video of a interview he had talking about this song and how there manager used to manage the Cranberries in the 90s. He showed Dolores their version and she loved it, I cant remember who ask who for her to sing on the song but she told the manager she was over the moon to do it. The night before she was in a hotel room in London and was drinking whilst taking a bath, she fell asleep in the bath and sadly passed away. The gold lady in the video is how Dolores was in the original video of the song. There is a point in the video were the lady writes 1-15-18, that is the date of her passing. They also updated the lyrics to make them relivent to modern day. In the original the line is "It's the same old theme, Since nineteen-sixteen" which was changed to "It's the same old theme, In two thousand eight-teen" "With their tanks, and their bombs, And their bombs, and their guns" was changed to "With their tanks, and their bombs, And their guns, and their drones" to show the advancements in warfare. This song is one of my favourites from them and I think its an amazing tribute to Dolores. As for the next song by Bad Wolves, I personally love Hear Me Now feat. DIAMANTE, which is not the version that is on there album but saying that just due to the context of the song and video it has to be "Remember When". Please pay close attention to the video espically the writing explaining what went on. It is all true. Thank you so much for reaction to this song

[@ryanwilliams9169]

I saw them live. The whole crowd had cell phones in the air lighted up. It was a very emotional song and u could feel his pain as he sang.

when i saw this song when it first came out it was the first tine i had ever listened to bad wolves and knowing the tragedy behind it we are left with its sorrow and also left with that part that will forever be unanswered is what would this song have been like had they both managed to do the track together but we can only say well done bad wolves and of course rest in peace dolores

I was indifferent on the song back when it was popular, but I love it now that this version came out. And the video is quite emotional, I agree.

Possibly, probably, been mentioned already, but they were originally supposed to be doing a colab of the song with Delores the day she died.... So they decided to release this in memoriam for her, [or something] I think.... Also, there is a beautiful cover of this from a singing competition... not the voice, but a 'got talent' I think? Correction, it was X Factor in Ukraine... i recommend you check her out too, whether in a video or in private idecw[i don't even care/mind which].

[@dethincarnate1149]

If you could believe it, these guys are a super group of heavy metal bands i used to listen to when i was in high school...also the first time i heard this song was on the radio...and i thought it was Disturbed at first...after i heard Sound Of Silence

[@sonofthesea3298]

I grew up discovering The Cranberries through MTV. Me and my mom used to do regular sleepovers at weekends with my grandparents,and then we would sit GLUED to MTV when our grandparents went to sleep at early night,or during early morning,afternoon when they didnt want to watch anything on the tv themselfs. Why we could only see MTV at theyr house,was that they were the first ones here to get antennas aka parabols. (Large white or grey antenna plates that took in more channels from the satellites then standard cabel did back in the day,from all over the world) Having alot of relatives from minor countries myself,i soon understood,sympathised etc with bands like The Cranberries singing about human tragedies like that. Think i saw a interview on MTV where Dolores said they either knew someone that lost a child/a family member/a friend in bombing runs like that,or they knew someone that knew someone that did. Thats what i identified alot with,in not too giant countries you tend to know or at least know about alot of people,so each loss strikes harder then in huge countries. Think the actual music took me awhile to adept to,well my ears needed to adept into it lol. On one hand i get why so many people made fun out of Dolores vocals....she defintly had a very unique voice. I would say at the lines of Shakira,Tracy Chapman,Tanita Takaram and other greats. A one of a kind voice,so theyr songs often need several listens to actually like. I didnt like ignorant mocking of her and the band though.....ignorant kids/teens do ignorant sh*t. On the other i didnt exactly laugh or approve of the mockings,shit talks i heard. And mom told me,since i was barely walking i seemed to allready have the ability of taking peoples sides that got "hatred" or whatever. Well,somehow i found myself clinging on to The Cranberries. I still have theyr CD Albums and CD singles laying somewhere,i was defintly a supporter. But maybe not one of the most hardcore supporters. I could listen to them when i was in a specific mood,and it had been awhile since last time i gave them a go. But it could go weeks,maybe months between each time. Still,when i first heard that a band calling themselfs Bad Wolves made a cover of Zombie. (That one song i had heard most vocal mockings of,by ignorant people,but also the song i saw as the biggest classic they have made) I have to be honest,i wasnt too positive about it. I thought Zombie wasnt the right song of theyrs to cover,and i somehow expected by this bands name alone,for them to scream,growl and just completely murder the song) My bad,i had a "i prefer the original,i dislike many covers" sort of ignorant thought process myself. But i promised myself....."im gonna give them a fair chance!". Note: I had no information about why Bad Wolves wanted to cover this song,and defintly not theyr plans when finding out about Doloreses passing. By the first word Tommy sang,i felt like i was pleasantly "tazed". And even when he unleashed his "beasty vocals",it wasnt what i feard at all. He did it just flawlessly! I was hooked,and got super intrigued about this band after that! Extremely rare that a band or an artist manages to grab a hold on me that fast,over just 1 song. But Bad Wolves did. And how they found a model who comes off as a "spitting image" of Dolores in gold paint for the video....that got me really emotional. Theese guys are amazing! Funny that you mentioned sport attire the way you did.....i have been a moderator and admin around platforms,the www in general,and i have experienced my fair share of both females and males trying theyr outmost to make people feel awful or uncomfortable,for simple things as what they wear. On the other hand,you got tons of male youtubers,streamers that sits in just theyr boxers/shots/pants,caressing theyr chests on cam,and noone even reacts. (Not that i would want them to react that way either,but it just shows how onesided gender hatred can be sometimes) Im not the biggest "fanboy" of females that persistently acts and dresses like cammodels on "family platforms" either,just because i dont see the big picture in trying to grow by revealing abit too much on certain platforms. If they do it on suitable platforms,i salute them and that leaves them with not having to worry about TOS`s around the "family platforms" as well,so a win-win for everyone. But i also dont go apesh*t over females dressing after the weather....people that think its done just to increase views etc,well thats all on them. You look classy in that outfit. I dont think you have anything to worry about there.
