They were a part of the last show I saw before lockdown, in 2019. Was them, Asking Alexandria and Papa Roach. It was phenomenal! AA was not something I was into before seeing them live, but they killed it too. And it goes without saying that Papa Roach was great.
😂 The coping skills going on in the comments is amazing. Cant wait to watch this reaction, but I do agree with the sentiment of reacting to the original. (If you havent heard the Cranberries performance) Edit: Seriously, when you watch the original you'll get a better appreciation of the Bad Wolves' video. Brings me to tears, R.I.P. Dolores. ❤
You will LOVE this one for sure. And the original. AND you for sure would get along with Tommy as well. He’s basically black balled for being super Conservative and very vocal ( no pun intended ). Another good person for you to have on and collab with. 💯
I disagree with a LOT of what Tommy Vext is saying, but as a singer and artist, he is amazing, and this song is AWESOME !!! Such a great cover and honor to the legacy of Dolores !
I interprete the video as showing how Dolores left her mark on this world with this iconic song and her haunting vocals with traditional Irish vocal techniques. Her influence is still felt. 😢❤
"Another mother's breaking heart is taking over. When the violence causes silence, we must be mistaken!" This is one of the most powerful, and heart wrenching, verses I have ever heard, and it is so poignant toward humanity as it stands!
I agree Bad Wolves did an excellent cover. Nice to have someone representing Dolores in the video with a call back to the original. That said you need to check out the Cranberries. With😢 her Irish accent and vocal sounds she can create that are typical to folk music in Ireland, she is a unique vocalist to check out. The whole band is great. I cannot think of a song on their first 2 albums that I would tell you to skip. The next two were hit or miss for me, but held several gems none the less. A brief explanation of a few songs that will have more meaning if you understand a bit. I would like to see you react with knowledge on a few songs due to their meaning. Example, when the song Zombie was getting a lot of radio play the teens I worked with loved the song but did not understand the song. They heard some of the phrases, but it just never clicked. We sat down and talked about the lyrics and the reason the song was written. They still loved it, still sang with the chorus but they did not stomp around acting like jacka__es during the chorus anymore, once they understood the song. Start with Zombie. It was a song that loudly and boldly said ENOUGH. The IRA (Irish Republican Army) and British had been battling over Northern Ireland since 1916. Too many children died. Towards the end the people on both sides were fed up with children dying and the war. Cranberries gave themselves and the people a voice to say ooen your eyes and enough is enough. U2 is another Irish band that did not turn away either. Their song Sunday Bloody Sunday is another one about (The Troubles) aka the War. As an aside U2 wrote songs about other places and other troubles within Ireland and in other countries. Bullet the Blue Sky, Running to Stand Still, Walk On, MLK, Exit, Red Hill Mining Town, and In God's Country to name a few. Finally, though there are many examples I think this one deserves a mention. Sting wrote a song They Dance Alone as a, "symbolic gesture of protest against the Chilean dictator Pinochet whose regime killed thousands of people between 1973-1990." The wives/mothers could say nothing in protest. Pinochet's regime would only allow them to dance/stand while holding a photo of their beloved person that was missing. Sting also wrote a lovely song called Fragile that is good advice to all.
What's really f^cking sad is that Dolores wrote this about the chaotic turmoil of Ireland since 1916 and the marketplace bombing in '93 that killed some children. If I am remembering this right, they had to skirt what they were really filming in the original. Bad Wolves changed 1916 to "in 2018", added "drones"... and this sh!t just keeps on and on and on. Her last name is pronounced O.reer.dun
This song hits 10,000 times harder being an Irishman. I had family who died in the very wars this original song sang about. Hearing that Dolores was going to sing with them breaks my heart to dust. I beg you to look up the trobles in Ireland to get some history on the subject. I loved this reaftion to bits, keep it up!!!
Dolores was going to do a new verse on this cover. She loved it so much, that it motivated her to record with Bad Wolves and do a new verse. IIRC, she passed away on that same day as she was on her way to the studio to do the recording.
@@sarategg3664 I thought I remembered seeing somewhere that she was on her way to the studio, but definitely could be wrong on that, as I'm going solely off of memory. I apologize if my memory isn't correct on that one.
Btw, the gold painted wiman is in reference to original video. So, if you do check out original, please choose the video, for reference. This is a fantastic cover. Delores fully endorsed thevupdated version. The original had to do thw the fight between the IRA and the British over Occupation of Northern Ireland. Specifically written when two young children were killed in an IRA bombing in England.😊
One of the most important and universally applicable songs in modern World History. Certainly applies to multiple conflicts happening in the world today.
I echo so many here. You NEED to see the og song now. Zombie by the Cranberries is an insanely powerful song and video. IF you watch it, do yourself the favor and look into the story behind it as well. It's powerful subject matter.
He doesn't have a good personality. He was removed from Bad Wolves because has a toxic piece of shit and a consummate liar. He stole from Bad Wolves, he lied to his fans to maintain a false status. There is a reason why this piece of shit no longer has anything to do with the music industry outside of his own doings.
The message of the original song is one of the most emotional issues, and what I love about this cover is some specific words where changed around. From the USA but was adopted and most of my birth family is from England and Ireland, so I hear from both sides about the ira and the English having troops on the ground. This song, and Dolores are treasures and have even given me and my old metal band inspiration for songs and ways to word the lyrics!
You have to watch the original as well . They did a good cover of this song . But Delores is more haunting. Another one I love from the Cranberries is Ode to Family. She has a haunting powerful voice.
Delores was due to reprise her role in this song she came to London to film and record with bad wolves but she suddenly and shockingly died in her hotel. Bad wolves still did the cover and donated all of the proceeds to her children
Very true. iirc the song originally was about the war/ terrorism between Ireland and North Ireland. Updated in this cover slightly to more current wars. I could be wrong? Either way, the sentiment is there regardless.
If you loved this then I highly recommend the following: 1. Bad Wolves - “Remember When” 2. Tommy Vext - “Trust the Science” feat. Topher 3. Hi-Rez & Jimmy Levy “God Over Government” 4. Topher & The Marine Rapper “The Patriot”
This song is amazing. Should check out more of there songs. Sober is great song. But I do recommend listening to the original version of this song as well. So powerful and moving.
Great reaction to a great singer. His newer solo stuff is awesome too. The industry still tries to keep him down. He was fired from bad wolves for speaking his political views. Check out any he's done as "The Lone Wolf" the last 2 years. Fantastic.
You need to listen to his Bad Wolves song Remember When. It's about him looking up to his twin brother early in life and then being murdered by him (and obviously revived) in a break in.
Yo love your reactions. You should revisit some more Howard Jones former lead vocalist of Killswitch Engage ( You reacted to End of Heartache) and later his current band Light the torch. Please a look at the project he worked on a couple of years ago with music UA-camr Jared Dines called "Sion" and song called "The Blade". I think you would enjoy it.
Ty for educating me on his back story. Never knew!! The original has been a favorite since its release for me. The scene of the hands on the window kicked up some allergies up in here lol. Again thank you!
I really enjoy this cover and Tommy Vext is very talented. Sadly, he and the band parted ways; and his social media stuff was taken down later because he settled a copyright infringement lawsuit with his ex band/label. He was releasing new content on those accounts that was actually owned by the band/label. It didn’t have anything to do with his politics. That said, whatever your views on his politics, you can’t deny that he is a very talented singer!
Ufc fighter Korean Zombie had the most iconic retirement a couple months ago while the original was playing (also his walkout song) the entire crowd was singing along as usual.
Saw him live in concert in El Paso, Tx, at a place called 'The Rockhouse.' HE KICKED ASS!!! Please watch the original song/video by The Cranberries. It gives you some insight as to where they're coming from.
This is a great cover - no doubt.. however the original carries way more weight with the complete level of emotion behind it. For reference Cranberries are an Irish band and the song is about The Troubles- a really violent and horrid time period in recent (1960's - 2000 ish) history in Ireland.
Man, you have such a great pure attitude. You give off such inviting vibes and you can tell how fun and genuine you are. I wish you all the best. New sub, and shout out from Greenville,SC
I think they did a great job with the cover .. was rather bummed that doloris didnt get to lay her vocals over it that would have been next level .. look forward to seeing you do the original video to see where inspiration was drawn from
Other covers you should check out and the originals if you don't know them are.... *Lollipop* by Framing Hanley originally by Lil Wayne *The Thunder Rolls* by All That Remains originally by Garth Brooks *Smooth Criminal* by Alien Ant Farm originally by Michael Jackson *Last Resort* by Falling In Reverse originally bt Papa Roach *Working Class Hero* by Green Day originally by John Lennon *Happy Together* by Flobots originally by The Turtles *Down With The Sickness* by Richard Cheese originally by Disturbed
Tommy is an amazing artist with a crazy life story and he does a version a wrecking ball on i feel how that song should sound its str8 flames!!!! great reaction fam
"Remember When" (another Bad Wolves song, before they and Tommy parted ways) is also VERY much worth a watch and listen. It's about his brother, and it is a heart breaker.
Zombie is a song about the war between the Irish Republican Army and the British Military in Northern Ireland. They were supporters of the IRA as I understand. This video sampled and integrated the original Cranberries video.
you really need to check out the original you get a feel for what it's all about, and this version then hits even harder. such a shame she died the night before she was due to record 😢
This isn't even his best work. I've had the pleasure to see him in concert several times and met him at one of the shows. He keeps it real, he keeps it truthful and he was done dirty by his bandmates and previous Label. Another great cover he did was Wrecking Ball, you want to talk about power and range... But my favorite song thus far is Remember When.
Yeah she was post to do this song with them & i heard she was going to go out on tour with them & when she died they almost didn't put this out cause they didn't want to do it with her death
![R.I.P. Dolores!!! Bad Wolves - Zombie (Official Video) [FIRST TIME UK REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/q9mrZLcloZM/mqdefault.jpg)
Fun fact Tommy Vext the lead singer filled in for Five Finger Death Punch's lead singer, while Ivan was battling his alcohol problems.
PLEASE, react to the original. The gold woman in this video is so much more emotional when you've seen the original.
i believe that the women is this video is dalores's daughter dont quote me on that though
i love how they changed to text to fit the modern war tactics. its a nice touch
@@sarategg3664 I had to check. The gold woman in the video is Ava Capra.
It was one of the best cover songs ever, but the original is still super iconic. The Cranberries were incredible.
You need to listen to the original. AMAZING I ❤️🔥🤘🏼. I believe there was way more than him speaking out that got him out
Out of respect, please react to the original by The Cranberries. You’re making a big deal of Tommy when all credit goes to the cranberries.
To be fair he literally said after the track ended, the original is amazing. Before he gave props to tommy and bad wolves. So I reckon he's heard it
It fr is…been listening to this one for maybe a year, and a month or two ago the original came on the radio and it was fire 🔥
I saw bad wolves open for five finger death punch several years ago. They closed with Zombie. They killed it
They were a part of the last show I saw before lockdown, in 2019. Was them, Asking Alexandria and Papa Roach. It was phenomenal! AA was not something I was into before seeing them live, but they killed it too. And it goes without saying that Papa Roach was great.
That sounds like an awesome show
Same here...We saw them about 5 years ago..Amazing concert.
😂 The coping skills going on in the comments is amazing. Cant wait to watch this reaction, but I do agree with the sentiment of reacting to the original. (If you havent heard the Cranberries performance)
Edit: Seriously, when you watch the original you'll get a better appreciation of the Bad Wolves' video. Brings me to tears, R.I.P. Dolores. ❤
You will LOVE this one for sure. And the original. AND you for sure would get along with Tommy as well. He’s basically black balled for being super Conservative and very vocal ( no pun intended ). Another good person for you to have on and collab with. 💯
💯💯💯💯💯💯
The 1-15-18 that the woman writes in the paint was the date that Delores from the Cranberries passed away.
I disagree with a LOT of what Tommy Vext is saying, but as a singer and artist, he is amazing, and this song is AWESOME !!! Such a great cover and honor to the legacy of Dolores !
alot of people did, and whats is funny is, alot of what he said ended up being true. like the rest of us knew.
He’s so freaking good. I’ve been addicted to his voice since this song first dropped.
When you think about the world right now this song is still so relavent❤Brings tears to my eyes to think of the children of War😢
All the people of Russia, Ukraine and Palestine and Isreal being killed 😢 and other wars we don’t hear about
Death all around us 😢
Songs like these are ever so necessary but still so heart wrenching.
I interprete the video as showing how Dolores left her mark on this world with this iconic song and her haunting vocals with traditional Irish vocal techniques. Her influence is still felt. 😢❤
The lead singer was supposed to do this song with them but she unfortunately passed away.😭 can’t wait to watch this!
"Another mother's breaking heart is taking over. When the violence causes silence, we must be mistaken!" This is one of the most powerful, and heart wrenching, verses I have ever heard, and it is so poignant toward humanity as it stands!
"I be hella based" is such a great sentance. Appreciate your reactions and not being scared to be you.
Please do the original video, it's amazing ❤
I agree Bad Wolves did an excellent cover. Nice to have someone representing Dolores in the video with a call back to the original.

facts and a lot of people need to look up the origin of the song
War and governments fighting is terrible 😢

I prefer the original, written & sung by The Cranberries, Dolores O'Riordan.
Dolores was going to do a new verse on this cover. She loved it so much, that it motivated her to record with Bad Wolves and do a new verse. IIRC, she passed away on that same day as she was on her way to the studio to do the recording.
she died due to alcohol intoxication and drowning in the bath mate. at 46 years old
@@sarategg3664 I thought I remembered seeing somewhere that she was on her way to the studio, but definitely could be wrong on that, as I'm going solely off of memory. I apologize if my memory isn't correct on that one.

Wait until you hear Dolores on the original. Now that's a masterpiece!
He said the original is a masterpiece
One of the most important and universally applicable songs in modern World History. Certainly applies to multiple conflicts happening in the world today.
This gets me every time, it's one of those songs that just does it? Great reaction x
That lady was way unique with her voice most especially. I guess some people would say eccentric but she was before her time IMHO 💯🏆🙏
Absolute fire reaction!! Made my day! :)
I echo so many here. You NEED to see the og song now. Zombie by the Cranberries is an insanely powerful song and video. IF you watch it, do yourself the favor and look into the story behind it as well. It's powerful subject matter.

If you want to listen to another song with a powerful message by them I highly recommend their song ‘sober’ especially the music video.
Hubby and I saw Bad Wolves and 5FDP in concert...BEST concert I have ever been to hands down.....🤘
He did an acoustic version of this and it's amazing too.
Did you not understand the sadness of the gold paint? Also, she traced the date of death in the glass at one point.
i`m always getting sad, when i hear this song. R.I.P. Dolores
The message of the original song is one of the most emotional issues, and what I love about this cover is some specific words where changed around. From the USA but was adopted and most of my birth family is from England and Ireland, so I hear from both sides about the ira and the English having troops on the ground. This song, and Dolores are treasures and have even given me and my old metal band inspiration for songs and ways to word the lyrics!
He knew what he was going to say would likely kill the band so he left the band to save them.
Fire From The Gods, Bad Wolves, Three Days Grace and FFDP in Vegas. One of the greatest shows ever
You have to watch the original as well .
They did a good cover of this song . But Delores is more haunting. Another one I love from the Cranberries is Ode to Family. She has a haunting powerful voice.
Love your reaction 👍
Truth!! It hurts, like it or not.... 🤘😎
You should totally check out more by Bad Wolves. The video for Remember When is a really good one.
Delores was due to reprise her role in this song she came to London to film and record with bad wolves but she suddenly and shockingly died in her hotel. Bad wolves still did the cover and donated all of the proceeds to her children
This song hits more when you have seen the original and know the story behind the lyrics
Very true. iirc the song originally was about the war/ terrorism between Ireland and North Ireland. Updated in this cover slightly to more current wars. I could be wrong? Either way, the sentiment is there regardless.
If you loved this then I highly recommend the following:

2. Tommy Vext - “Trust the Science” feat. Topher
3. Hi-Rez & Jimmy Levy “God Over Government”
4. Topher & The Marine Rapper “The Patriot”
I love your reactions man. I have started to check YT daily to see if you dropped a new vid! Keep it up and love the content!
This song is amazing. Should check out more of there songs. Sober is great song. But I do recommend listening to the original version of this song as well. So powerful and moving.
Great reaction to a great singer. His newer solo stuff is awesome too. The industry still tries to keep him down.
He was fired from bad wolves for speaking his political views.
Check out any he's done as "The Lone Wolf" the last 2 years. Fantastic.
Absolutely amazing cover. R.I.P. Delores
This is a great homage and tribute
You need to listen to his Bad Wolves song Remember When. It's about him looking up to his twin brother early in life and then being murdered by him (and obviously revived) in a break in.
You need to do the original with the music video. Nothing can beat it
Yo love your reactions. You should revisit some more Howard Jones former lead vocalist of Killswitch Engage ( You reacted to End of Heartache) and later his current band Light the torch. Please a look at the project he worked on a couple of years ago with music UA-camr Jared Dines called "Sion" and song called "The Blade". I think you would enjoy it.
One of the best cover and one of the best guitar solo I have ever heard.....my pov 👍🏼
Ty for educating me on his back story. Never knew!! The original has been a favorite since its release for me. The scene of the hands on the window kicked up some allergies up in here lol. Again thank you!

The Golden dress the actress wears in this video is the same one Delores wore
Chillssss on that first punch! Gorgeous cover!
U can’t do this without watching the original official video of zombie
Saw him live in concert in El Paso, Tx, at a place called 'The Rockhouse.' HE KICKED ASS!!! Please watch the original song/video by The Cranberries. It gives you some insight as to where they're coming from.
RIP Dolores.
This is a great cover - no doubt.. however the original carries way more weight with the complete level of emotion behind it. For reference Cranberries are an Irish band and the song is about The Troubles- a really violent and horrid time period in recent (1960's - 2000 ish) history in Ireland.
The man that did the guitar solo is one of the Cranberries Guitarists.
I do love this track and he killed it !
Great reaction. Tommy Vext is an awesome dude!
This song is sooooooooooooooooooooo powerful the meaning behind it is insanity.
You make me laugh, man. "He's got that light skin. We could be brothers." I love your reactions. Check out the original.
Read all the history of the original it's a very deep and emotional song and you will understand this version so much more
Man, you have such a great pure attitude. You give off such inviting vibes and you can tell how fun and genuine you are. I wish you all the best. New sub, and shout out from Greenville,SC
I got to see them in ‘22 with FIR and papa roach. Got to meet him afterwards, super nice guy.
Tommy vext voice is perfect for this song.
This cover is 🔥❤️
Yes!🔥One of my favorite covers! Parallels with today just as the original.
I love that u did this reaction. Tommy and bad wolves are one of my favorite groups to listen to
They did an amazing job
I think they did a great job with the cover .. was rather bummed that doloris didnt get to lay her vocals over it that would have been next level .. look forward to seeing you do the original video to see where inspiration was drawn from
Saw them preform this live thd crowd went nuts it was so good. Wish he wasnt forced out of Bad Wolves. Cant listen to the band anymore.
Amazing performance! The song is originally about the political unrest in Northern Ireland if I remember correctly.
Other covers you should check out and the originals if you don't know them are....
*Lollipop* by Framing Hanley originally by Lil Wayne
*The Thunder Rolls* by All That Remains originally by Garth Brooks
*Smooth Criminal* by Alien Ant Farm
originally by Michael Jackson
*Last Resort* by Falling In Reverse originally bt Papa Roach

*Down With The Sickness* by Richard Cheese originally by Disturbed
❤ y nailing it over and over
Tommy Vext is one of the best vocalists in the world
Tommy is an amazing artist with a crazy life story and he does a version a wrecking ball on i feel how that song should sound its str8 flames!!!! great reaction fam
So much emotion in metal. Love it! My fav type of music.
"Remember When" (another Bad Wolves song, before they and Tommy parted ways) is also VERY much worth a watch and listen. It's about his brother, and it is a heart breaker.
the issues our grandparents sang about and my parents sang about and the ones we sang about are the same
That was f##king Powerful! They really gave it their all for this memorial, and it's something you can Feel.
Zombie is a song about the war between the Irish Republican Army and the British Military in Northern Ireland. They were supporters of the IRA as I understand. This video sampled and integrated the original Cranberries video.
You should react to the original version by the Cranberries. Both versions are good!
You need to listen to the song remember when! It's an amazing song
you really need to check out the original you get a feel for what it's all about, and this version then hits even harder. such a shame she died the night before she was due to record 😢
Tommy is a Bad Man!
In 2024, this song is still relevant and it is sad.
Vext has been in quite a few bands
I love ole' Tommy V! he's our guy!!! HATED when he split from the dummies at Bad Wolves...
This isn't even his best work. I've had the pleasure to see him in concert several times and met him at one of the shows. He keeps it real, he keeps it truthful and he was done dirty by his bandmates and previous Label. Another great cover he did was Wrecking Ball, you want to talk about power and range... But my favorite song thus far is Remember When.
This is my favourite cover of all time!
Great reaction, too bad you did not watch/listen to the original first just to see HOW well this version is.
What a vocal they did a great job covering a legendary song
Yeah she was post to do this song with them & i heard she was going to go out on tour with them & when she died they almost didn't put this out cause they didn't want to do it with her death
❤❤
