I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.
Hailing from Ireland, The Cranberries would be the largest musical export from the country since U2. The band’s first two albums which were released in the 90's would be massive sellers, but by the later part of the decade, band was on the brink of collapse. Cancelled tours and controversy led to the band falling apart almost a decade after taking over the world. The band would remerge in 2009 until it all came crashing down almost a decade later resulting n the end of one of the most successful alternative bands to come out of the last three decades..

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😌

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

There's even more variety now, you just have to know where to find it. Obviously, most of the good artists are barely scraping by, or even have dayjobs - but the music is there, and totally worth supporting. It's like every variety of music that I loved from the late 80s and early 90s has an evolved version of it someplace, and even some people that nearly resemble bands i loved, just doing new things with the sound. Granted, the sound of nostalgia is the greatest sound of all, because we have memories and rose tinted glasses of youth to link up with all those songs. Still, if you dig around enough, there are some amazing bands out there. Lately I'm hooked on Speedy Ortiz - Major Arcana album, they remind me of everything I loved from 90s bands like Sleater-Kinney or Heavens To Betsy and all that good stuff

@@brianmiller6061 Perhaps you can elaborate on why you feel they are not classics? I think any song that has managed to affect people in the way those two songs have can be considered classics. They both came directly from O'Riordan's heart, speaking to real issues that either she or society were experiencing, they do so in a compelling way, and they both showcase her unique vocal talents, which was critical to the band's success as she was largely "the sound" of the band. So what makes them *not* classics?

I never understood why anyone was ever likening Zombie to grunge. To me it sounded like My Bloody Valentine (another Irish band). I've since put it down to Americans not understanding Ireland (or British Isles generally).

I'm from Russia. The Cranberries is my first favorite band and the main reason my English improved during high school. I so wanted to know what the songs were about. Luckely I was able to see them live. Still can't believe Dolores is dead. But their last record is such a miracle. The last chapter was not the death, but the music.

When Linger was released, I was a figure skater & was newly married. I met another skater and simply put, we had developed a bond. She would skate to Linger often, while preparing for the ISU competition. I really cared for her & that song will always make me think of her.

Cranberries bring so much 90s nostalgia back to me. Their music helped me in happy and sad times get through pain I didn't understand until I was an adult. Thank God for MUCHMUSIC in the 90s. It will NEVER be the same again. I remember when Salvation first came out and I voted for them and the call/vote cost 50 cents and I begged my mom to let me vote; I don't remember who they were up against but Cranberries won by just a few votes and damn right I felt good about myself. Never asked to vote for any other song or band and I'm a music head but that song just spoke to me on so many levels. Rest In Power Dolores you made my childhood easier to get through.

Back in the early 90s, right after the song Linger started getting play on college radio stations, Matt Johnson of The The got The Cranberries to open for him on his Dusk North American tour. After the concert I waited around to meet Matt and he was just such a genuinely good guy, and Delores happened to be walking to the tour bus too so he introduced me to her and she gave me a huge hug (especially for such a small woman) and was so humble and nice, and not in a fake way. I usually don't get upset when celebrities pass away, but her death was one of the only ones I've ever shed tears over. RIP Delores.

Her vocals were really great and her range wast strong, there was no reason she couldn't have covered Sinead O'Connor's part in that song and did it justice. It just seemed like such a good fit and was a missed opportunity to hear a really great song live.

Another tragic loss and unnecessary death. She was so talented and her talent for the most part was never realized. I loved her band, The Cranberries. I've listened to all of the albums, still own them. What a gem she was. I am a fan of Fergal Lawler, he's brilliant. The Hogan brothers are pretty awesome. I wish they could have gone down a different path, a more stable one but wishing that means the brilliant recordings we have may not have ever happened. Sometimes, chaos brings about great things. I hope the God that Dolores believed in has taken her into His Kingdom. RIP Ms. O'Riordon.

Hotel rooms are the loneliest places in the world. You are surrounded by smiling staff that don't care about you. You are alone. Drinking is an attractive option. It passes time quickly and hotels provide plenty of it. I can totally understand and sympathise with what happened to Dolores. It is a terrible shame she did not stay with friends. Getting into a bath seems like a nice idea when you're drunk, but obviously not a good idea. It's a tragic, avoidable death. Rest in Peace Dolores. I still listen to your voice every day.

@veltonmeade1057 4 ай бұрын

"smiling staff that don't care about you". Staff is working, they are not running a daycare center. When I was on the road as a musician, I never once expected them to coddle me or treat me like anyone special, and it was not their job to do so. With her money and available resources, she should have tried a bit harder to seek help. I miss her, but her death was caused by herself and was avoidable.

That was really good and very accurate. Too bad it had a way too familiar sad ending. Delores was an amazing singer song writer guitar player front woman. Very talented. Her quest for normalcy in her life was never ending. She adored her children, her family and her band mates. I have a lot of respect for them for dissolving the band after her death instead of searching for a new singer. Delores was the Cranberries. There was no replacing that little spit fire with that big huge unique voice and unique lyrics that only Delores brought to the band. They were family broken and grieving. They were all kids when they started the band. They were heartbroken but smart enough to know she couldn't be replaced. The world was shocked, and saddend by her unexpected death, and we all felt for her beautuful children who she loved so much. I give Bad Wolves credit also for making such a generous donation to her children. Rest in peace Delores. You will never be replaced or forgotten. You were one a kind, and such a pretty funny talented musician who never was afraid to tell you what was on her mind. You are missed. ❤😢
