@@joshjohnson2600 Wild wild west bitch, you seem like white boy who only fights with guns, but cant' fight. Typical white boy. I make enough money boy, that they would, your white boy suck my cock!. Beauty of America, it is a business, you country fuck.
The beauty of this song, I think anyway, is it's ability to sound hard and soft at the same time. Rhythmic drumming, Irish vocals, crashing guitar... it's just a real classic
I grew up on the music of the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s, lived overseas in a non -English speaking country for most of the 90’s and never paid much attention after that to new music. Thanks for checking out the channel!
Did this man's just say My bloody Valentine?! Awesome reference. I'm actually so surprised he doesn't know this song. This dominanted the late 90s radio.
I'm glad you knew the background of Zombie! So many reactions have someone asking people to explain in the comments what the song is about. It's so much better when the reactor has context of the song's meaning and why it was written. One thing I'd suggest is this is one of the relatively few songs where the music video adds so much that it's an accompanying work of art. I would've liked to see what you both think of the the video, too.
The Cranberries are one of my favorite bands if not my favorite.... Dolores was a true talent. Please check out some of their other greats songs: 1. Linger 2. Dreams 3. Ode To My Family 4. When You're Gone 5. Animal Instinct
What she does with her voice is called "keening" - it's an Irish thing - especially during funerals. So powerful, Such a tragedy that Dolores is gone from us now. 🥲
Thank you for reviewing this song. As an Irishman, it made me proud. You did a great job of explaining the context behind the song. I absolutely love your channel- love your hip hop reviews too. Your Dad is a treasure. For the Cranberries' next song, please review 'Dreams' or 'Linger'.
I love how your dad is always very attentive while you’re explaining background and stuff. He’s very open to discovering new music. Y’all are so cool! 🤩
Sound Garden, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone temple pilots, Pearl Jam, Foo fighters, Audioslave are some other great 90s bands that would make for great reactions
I love how both father's and son's generation straddle all these 1990's era songs they review/react to. It's beautiful. The 90's were a special time for music
That you went back to research the song and presented the important context before playing the song for him speaks volumes to your integrity. I have been a Cranberries fan since the early 90s and think this is one of the most dynamic technical as well as emotional message songs from the group. I enjoyed you picking up and describing the intricacies of the intro. I haven't heard someone who had identified the significance and taken it apart before; bravo. The same method is used for each verse intro. It reminded me of something I learned years ago in classical music: The loudest note on a Beethoven score is a rest. We share that our musical tastes are all across the spectrum and in that line it's not often other venues reach across the wide divide to compliment, but this certainly happened with Delores O'Riordan. In the hit time of The Cranberries the other side of the music world, classical, reached across. Luciano Pavarotti, at the time the world's greatest classical tenor, invited The Cranberries to his show where they performed one of their songs. Then, Pavarotti and Delores sang Ave Maria, Pavarotti's signature piece together. I wish the technology of the time had better recorded the event as it was magnificent. And what an homage to the greatness he felt for Delores as an artist and to the messages she was conveying through her music. On a side note to that performance, Princess Diana was in the audience. I enjoy reaction videos. Particularly, I enjoy watching how a person is moved when hearing a new song or a new style of music. Keep spreading the wonderment of discovery.
I remember those concerts known as Pavarotti and Friends raising funds for the children of Bosnia, the reason Princess Diana was also there. Pavarotti did like 10 concerts over the same number of years I think? anyway, moot point. Delores was amazing!
The music video makes this song even more powerful...real powerful. Also the tribute by Bad Wolves is powerful. Dolores was supposed to record this song with Bad Wolves but just day before in London she sadly passed away and Bad Wolves released their own version as a tribute to her. Not one eye is dry seeing Bad Wolves version of Zombie...
Am married to a Half Irish(on his moms side) wonderful man . He and his mom explained this particular song to me and its become one of my fav songs ever!❤️
The Bad Wolves cover of this also has an incredible story and is an amazing performance. Dolores died the day she was set to so vocals for their version.
every colonial oppressed nation identifies with ireland in their pain and struggles especially against the british imperialism (before the murican neo imperialism now) and this song touched a chord in me and a lot of people at my place who werent native english speakers, unlike me, and yet they were so moved. it was a huge hit in many parts of asia during the 90s. her inflections in the song always move me to tears. RIP DOLORES O RIORDAN
The song is about the IRA killing children, not the British ""imperialism"" as you foolishly refer to it as. The Northern Irish continue, as they always have, to want to remain a part of the UK.
If anyone hasn't seen it the Cranberries did a fantastic Tiny Desk Concert for NPR that's available on RU-vid..... Rest In Peace Dolores you are missed
Im not sure if you have delved into Pearl Jam with your father but they are the best grunge sound from the 90s scene. The strength of Eddie Vedder as a singer and performer is unmatched. A good start to see that is the MTV Unplugged version of BLACK. Hope you love them as much as I do. Blessings to you and your father and family. I love the love that is shown between you guys.
One of the greatest bands and songs of my childhood! I still remember 1994. when this marvelous song has been released! It was amazing even at the first listening and these powerful lyrics came in time of bloody war in my country and region! Kind regards from Croatia, EU
This song - and the Cranberries themselves - were MASSIVE in the 90s. Their music is in a lot of tv series and film from that era. Rest In Paradise Queen Dolores 💚🙏 Always in Our Hearts. Blessings always to Ireland 💚
The cranberries live performances are the best!!! Zombie mtv unplugged , linger live in Paris, ridiculous thoughts live in Detroit and many others 💗💗💗💗💗
I graduated high school in 94 and was working at a music store (corporate) a few weeks later. The two albums that were played NONSTOP over the in-store stereo were this album and Hootie and The Blowfish debut album. As a Metal/Grunge kid, neither band was my cup of tea, but I actually grew to enjoy and appreciate both of those albums.
Saw Hootie in concert around that time. It remains the best live concert I have ever witnessed, and I've seen The Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Peter Frampton, Bob Dylan, CSNY. You get my point. Hootie played 3 curtain calls after playing 3 sets. They covered Elvis, Simon and Garfunkel, Johnnie Cash, they were all over the place and every arrangement was amazing.
Suggested this video a few weeks ago and I literally learned something new about the inspiration for this master piece. Thank you for once again impressing me with the research for these reactions. Just incredible work
I'm older than the dad but my daughter was the age that exposed me to this music. it gave me chills then and I still react that way all these years later.
I saw them live 2 times and its sounds exactly rhe same live, Delores' voice is like no other and utterly amazing. You can hear its perfection in their softer songs.
Zombie played in the O2 arena as Aisling Dalys walk out song with eight thousand people singing this song was epic. You may find snippets of this on RU-vid
I think this song puts into perfect context what it was like growing up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s in the UK and Ireland. Obviously nowhere faced it as badly as Northern Ireland. But from my perspective in England, it was just an unspoken understanding that if you went into a city or town centre, you might not come home. The worst ones, (like Warrington, which was the catalyst for this song), were always the ones where children were hurt, but I remember particularly when the centre of Manchester was bombed. I was at an event, and we were counting off who was meant on their way from Manchester, who hadn't arrived yet, and trying to get hold of them to make sure they were ok. The 1916 reference is to the Easter Uprising, when the real fight for Irish Independence began. The fighting over Northern Ireland continued for more than 80 years. And now there's a whole generation of kids who never had to grow up with that knowledge that they could be blown up any day... Thank God and Mo Mowlam for the Good Friday Agreement.
that's so crazy, we were literally talking about and analyzing this song in my English class yesterday!! & I am just now seeing that you guys posted this 4 days ago. i love the cranberries
Yesterday I introduced your channel to my sister nd she really likes the relationship between u n ur dad, nd u just dropped a reaction on her really fav song i can't believe that! 🤍🤍🤍
Dolores Keane is another great irish singer your father was on the ball as we say here in ireland, also props for explaining the song and the background you done a great job
To really get the emotion of the song you should watch the video as well. When she arranged the song she instructed the drummer to bang away at the drums to get across her outrage, the emotion.. this song is a masterpiece...every word, every note...everything!
Love The Cranberries. Please continue with their music! Dolores passed away recently so this is a wonderful tribute to her! Maybe listen to "No Need to Argue" or "Ode to my family" or "Empty" next... heartbreakingly personal, but such strong songs.
I don't understand how it is possible that he hasn't heard this one before. It has been the most played song on the radio for multiple different years.
Enjoyed this guys. From someone growing up in and still living in Northern Ireland, with the troubles. Well researched, well understood. Good breakdown
there is another Irish band Aslan they have a song called 'This is ' and a song called 'crazy world ' check them out there lead singer Christy is great
I love watching reaction videos to this song. I'm British, so I get it a bit more than our overseas cousins. Most of the reactions I've seen are from people who clearly don't "get it" Cheers guys!
With the Cranberries the iconic songs more typical of their sound were “Linger” or “Dreams”. Dreams was on the soundtrack for a Drew Barrymore movie “Never Been Kissed” which was an interpretation of Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew”
Such a great song, immediately fell in love with it first time I heard it...kinda wish you had played the video, so adds to the emotion of it....great choice, great reaction
One of my favorite bands, Dolores's voice was out of this world, beautiful band full of great musicians, I hope you discover all of their amazing music. btw check out a song called when you're gone, it's one of my favorites and the Dolores's band mates played that song for her at her funeral a few years ago, thanks for the videos🖤
I have to say how much I appreciate the passionate and knowledgeable way you give context to all the songs for your dad. The whole album is most certainly a must-listen... (and btw, it's pronounced "O-rearden")
This is the type of song that with Context, hits so much harder. It reminds me of Pearl Jam's Jeremy, which hits even harder now after all the mental/emotional health issues taken front in the last few years in the U.S.
@@frontroom Rory Gallagher, a truly fantastic guitarist 🎸 I am happy you know of him! Definitely review some Rory! I'm sure you would love Thin Lizzy too, there's a few reviews in there I'm sure! 😎☘💚
The Bad Wolves cover of this song is top 10 covers ALL TIME for me. Because of the epic performance but also the incredible story behind the making of it. Please do that SOON. Linger by this group is another beautiful classic I hope you guys jump into.
Ahh..suddenly i cry listening this song. It took me to the old days. I grew up with their songs and always be my best band i've ever heard. loved their songs so much..all of them.
I discovered this song through my boarding school music teacher, awesome guy he'd always use his morning TED talk kinda thing all teachers had to show us songs he was passionate about and tell us about the story and meaning of it. By far my best school experience
You should check out the video to this song. It has great visuals. Also there's a remake by Bad Wolves which Delores was supposed to be featured on but she passed away before they could get her on it. They still made the song which is great and also a great video that pays homage to her.
