![R.I.P. Dolores!!! Bad Wolves - Zombie (Official Video) [FIRST TIME UK REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
I feel like this cover is quite similar to Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence, in that the originals were a plea for change, and the covers are rage from a new generation that the plea has still gone unanswered.
Agreed.
Best accurate words ever spoken! 👏👏
Most underrated comment on UA-cam.
That is really well said.
Totally agree.
The full story behind Bad Wolves wanting to do this cover is even more heartbreaking. Not many know the whole story, how the original version that Bad Wolves had created was scrapped the morning Dolores passed. Bad Wolves lead singer locked himself away for the next week, and came out with this version, telling the rest of the band this is what they were doing. Of course, all were 100% on board. I have heard this story firsthand from the bass player, who, up until the tour, had worked with an old high school friend of mine. He went on to state that the emotion and energy in the studio that day was incredible, and humbling, with a few of Dolores' family in attendance. Bad Wolves was fully intent on absolute approval from her family before anyone else would hear this.
As for the video, again, BW lead singer, Tommy, designed the entire video, and after weeks of shooting footage, they came out with this, simple, yet incredibly powerful and emotional tribute.
Wow
Bad Wolves had gotten to know Delores and both parties were like kids on Christmas Eve waiting to do this project. Then Delores Died. They went on to do the cover anyway, biting back tears as they did. You can hear some of that in the song.
10000000000% that's what makes it so damn beautiful.
She was supposed to be part of this song. Apparently she died mere hours before she was schedule to lay down vocals in the studio for this. That’s crazy!
@@jasonpeltier4652 how did she die ?
@@markoskalapothareas1423 She drowned in a bathtub after passing out due to intoxication.
@@caleplays6611 damn that's rough..
This cover is phenomenal. I can only imagine how much more incredible this would have been if Dolores could have been on it as originally planned.
I really love both versions.
I feel like the Cranberries version is like a mother´s love, it goes deep in you, its firm but soft and heart warming; while the Bad Wolves version is like a love of a father; hard, more gritty, but caring too.
I don´t know man, somethimes i have an idea and I can´t express it exactly like I want, but I hope you get it.
That was actually quite profound, mate. I think you expressed your opinion really well. I get it.
This.
I'd never considered it that way until you said it, but you are totally right and I don't think it could have been stated better.
Love your take on this
Damn. That is deep as hell. Well said. 👍🏼
"It's the same old theme in 2018"
Such a strong line of this cover... And true one.
it is sad when all the lyrics still apply
More than 100 years, and nothing has changed.
I saw them perform this song live they had everyone stand up for her and everything it was awesome
This rings true in 2020, "When violence causes silence, we must be mistaken." "in your head they are dying..."
The thing about this song is that it's essentially timeless. It's as relevant now as it was in 1994 and will continue to be for many years.
Because of that it's arguably one of the most important songs ever released and Delores wrote it when she was only 22.
Linkin Park - Given up - RIP Chester
I suggest their core sound from Hybrid Theory or Meterora. Somhere I Belong is my fav.
Yes definitely Given up! All of Linkin Park's songs are pretty good. Would like to see Alex react to Faint. ( Live rock am ring 2007)
Live versions are always the best
Hell yeah, Alex definitely needs to react to some Linkin Park
Indeed R.I.P. Chester
Faint !
im so glad you did this version too! lets get on some more avatar! "hail the apocalypse"
Or "Regret & House of Eternal Hunt"
*HAIL THE APOCAAALYYYYYYYYYYPSEEEE*
Yeas!!
Yes yes and yes!! That song is bad to the bone!
I think that he should try Paint me red by Avatar. It's really emotional and I'm always crying while listening to this
I love that they are giving all the proceeds from this song to Dolores’s children.
4 years later, still gets goosebumps when the hands tocuhes the glass...
There is no contest, the original version of this song has a haunting beauty brought on by Dolores's voice. However, Tommy and the boys of Bad Wolves did an AMAZING job not only paying tribute to the original version, but updating some of the lyrics to match the times, i.e. "It's the same old theme in 2018" and "with their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their drones". I wish to god we could have gotten Dolores to reprise her vocals alongside the boys, because that would have been one of the greatest songs ever, but apparently the universe had other plans. Amazing song, and an amazing tribute to Dolores in the video.
Her death was completely overshadowed...such a beautiful and talented lady...it pissed me off. Love her.
Fun fact: Dolores was the one who told them to update the lyrics and she was involved in most of the process of it until she passed.
She got taken away way too soon and the fact that people didn’t acknowledge her death like almost every other celebrity death has me so upset.
Must check out Remember When by Bad Wolves. The songs meaning is extremely personal to the lead singer Tommy Vext and very wonderful song
I second this!
I fourth this🤘
I fifth, sixth and seventh this!!!!!!!!!
I was looking for this comment because if no one else had suggested it, I was going to. In my opinion, it's the most powerful, emotionally packed song Tommy has ever performed. With good reason of course given the back story of the lyrics.
Yes you must check out remember when it is a great song and the meaning behind it will floor you
The cranberries version will always be my favorite and preference. Her voice was unique as hell and she's always gonna be remembered for it .
The Zombie react video to The Cranberries was blocked due to containment of UMG material. Can you reupload it, or no? I was really looking forward to watching it.
I'm for it too. Alex, can you put it on Gdrvie or something, just like Rammstein videos, pls?
I'm so upset that the video was taken down! Alex find a way to reupload it!
Trans-formative content and giving old songs new life through reaction means nothing to them.. Claiming Alex's video doesn't even make sense from a business standpoint.
He just posted it on Patreon
Idk how im able to watch then
Not a metal cover per say, but listen to nine inch nails “hurt”, then listen to Johnny Cash’s version of “hurt.” You wanna talk about doing a song justice. I swear when Trent Reznor originally wrote it, he knew one day Johnny Cash would cover it. You want to talk about emotions. Knowing it was Cash’s last album before he died, and his history, that song hits you right in the feels.
That song makes me cry every single time. One of the few covers that are actually better than the original.
Yes spot on!!
One of very few songs to make my eyes sweat
The song is haunting on its own, the music video makes me WEEP. Watching old Johnny cry alone at that table...fucks me up
Someone once said, trent reznor was born to write the song. Johnny Cash was born to sing it.
I do not disagree.
i Love the original and this cover is beautifully done. Having the metal aspect to it definitely adds something to it. You can still feel the intensity of the song as well. Great cover, great job covering the song and the message. Check out " hear me now" by bad wolves.. its a good song and it will give you a different perspective on the band itself. hope your having a dope ass day.! thank you for checking out the cranberries and for listening to this cover as well.
I don't think it really represents the band because songs like officer down, learn to live and better the devil would be better
I love metal but I feel like the original song is better. This isn't bad but feels too generic.
Yeah I grew up with things like cranberries but even tho the original got its place in history this version suits me better.
But if you look at Bad Wolves this song only gives a slight advice of what they really do.
Yeah they are versatile, I give you that, but I see them more on the heavier side 🤷🏻♂️
i like vocals on the original better
I think Learn to Live or No Masters is a better representation honestly
Both versions are fantastic in their own way.
Plus it was sweet that to really honour her Bad Wolves gave all of the proceeds from that song to her children
It is well known, that they lied. They only gave a quarter of a million. And made it a stage opportunity to do so. Pretty shady if you ask me.
It's the same old thing, in 2019...
Both versions hit home hard.
I love the original and the message behind it. This cover is incredibly respectful and powerful, and the message behind it is still relevant today, even if it is just a different war somewhere else.
When will we learn.
2022. The same.
a little piece of heaven ?
G G yessssss or so far away
It is a good metal cover, but yes I have to agree with you that nothing will top the original. Dolores's unique singing voice just defines this song as a whole and is a huge part of why "Zombie" was one of the best decade defining rock/alternative songs of the 90's. Bad Wolves did a great job with this tribute video though. When that female comes on screen drenched in the same gold-painted costume Dolores had on in the original video, you can't help but get a little misty eyed.
It's like one side of glass is life and the other side is death, the further into the video the further dolores fades into death because the glass slowly get completely covered with gold paint until we cannot see her anymore, or something like that
I think we all can agree that Bad Wolves did an amazing job honoring Delores and this song
You have to watch Bad Wolves - Remember When. Has a great story to it.
Walker Gross I was gonna say the exact same thing!!!
Yes...lord yes. Please do Remember When.
An interesting idea for it, if you do. Don't find out the story behind the song, until after you hear it. See how your gut reaction lines up with the story.
Also, check out the acoustic version they did of this. Just for your own enjoyment.
Lol I said the same thing!!!
Yesssssssss was thinking the same crazy story
the lead singer has a tough story he was almost beaten to death when he came how and found his twin brother had broken into his apartment high off his mind looking for something to steal for money for more drugs, he his brother was arrested hours later and if they hadn't arrested his brother he would have died in his apartment
there is so much more to his story and i really admire is strength to be able to talk about everything that has happened to him
Fire! 🔥🔥🔥
What? :)
You need to react to five finger death punch "Jekyll and Hyde"
YES YES YES YES YES
Remember when - bad wolves
+100000000 Bad ass song man
Good song 🙌
Going on a year since her passing and I still get choked up. I love this version, but the original will always be the best. Even though I was a kid when the original came out, I still loved it. The Bad Wolves did an amazing job keeping it almost as powerful as the original and giving her a huge part in memory.
She was supposed to be in this version of the song
Yeah... Dolores O'riordan was a fucking legend. Hell of a loss :(
@@kayleighhopwood5260 that would have been amazing
It’s an amazing cover!! I cry every time. My little brother died from suicide in July of 2017 and it reminds me of him so much!
Having not seen this cover version in a while, I seriously almost teared up again. Rest in Peace, Dolores O’Riordan. Huge thank you to The Cranberries.
Dude, we need to get some Sabaton up in here. Epic power-metal telling true historical war stories Songs like Last Battalion are amazing
This
Primo victoria is also pretty f*cking good
Screaming eagles music video or uprising music video would be awesome.
Send some love to Au and do Sabaton - Gallipoli!!
While she sleeps - silence speaks ft. Oli Sykes
I concur......let's get this comment on top👍
Could you imagine if she had lived to take part in the cover?
This is my little sisters favorite song, and SHE’S 3! She loves heavy metal 😂🤘
Not surprised
Jay Hudson Ok.
Madison Bedeker nice , starting her out right
Jay Hudson what you mean
@@tonyanderson6493 I mean it's a good song
Bad Wolves did a good job. But for me, The Cranberries version is king. I think it's her voice, it's so haunting. I'm a 41 year old dude, and it still makes me emotional after all these years, even more so after Dolores' passing.
Tirpitz, I’m 37 and it’s exactly the same for me. Your entire comment is on point.
I just turned 40 and I've never been able to listen to this song without either tearing up or getting hardcore chills at the very least. I loved her. Well, still do. You get it.
Tirpitz always best but I’m yet to hear a better cover
39 here; no one can ever match the beauty of Delores's voice & the song together, but goddamn if this wasn't a powerful version as well, and I really don't think it would be AS powerful without watching the video first. This isn't a knockoff it's an homage, and I think that really makes a difference when covering a song like Zombie.
Even tho, it was just a tribute to her death.
Bad Wolves-Remember when
seacactus 13 it made me cry! Love Bad Wolves, I even get to see them in concert here in Boise Idaho at the Taco Bell Arena
@@MustangFreak98 wow that's pretty cool, they came to where I live about a week ago with FFDP and Breaking Benjamin but I didn't go
seacactus 13 I have live videos (but on Facebook) of them performing, I was so close to not go because I didn’t had a ride until a Five Finger Death Punch loving fan family messaged me to offer me the ride and I was able to go see them! I even have a shirt from Bad Wolves that says “You Better Learn to Fucking Live” love FFDP and Bad Wolves
I got to see them in atlanta it was so sick there just as good live
Yes, remember when
I hate when people ask which version is better. Bad wolves wasnt out to make a "better" version. They planned to redo it with her as a reprisal or known by some today as a remix. She died the same day that she was supposed to record. So they went on and did it as a memorial and gave all profits from it to her family. Personally I enjoy them both. The original is one of my favorite songs ever and i love bad wolves version for what it is.
And Im also really sad we never got to hear what it could have been with her vocals with his 😢
I get freaking chills down my spine when I listen to this song!!!!!
The Pick Of Destiny
Tomas - tenacious D
🤘🤘🤘
You’ll love Chevelle - The Clincher
Yes please
Or any song by Chevelle.
Chevelle is beautiful
Both of versions of this song without fail gives me goosebumps
I love this, it's one of my favorite covers ever and they did such a great job paying tribute to her, plus giving the money to her kids.
Blind Guardian - Mirror Mirror
Bard song (live) I got goosebumps just thinking about it
A song I believe you really would enjoy is “Wage War - Gravity”
I absolutely LOVE both of these songs, but I feel like this is more of a tribute to her rather than a cover. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! THEY NAILED IT!!!
I get chills everytime I listen to this cover!! Dolores was an amazing talent taken far too soon!!
For me the saddest part about the bad wolves cover (What make my eyes water always) is thinking that Dolores might not have even got to hear this song before she past... maybe pieces of it, but Idk about the whole complete track.
I think she'd be happy to see zombies success shine through bad wolves when it was losing most of its replay ability on popular musical outlets in current year.
I loved listening to zombie when i was growing up, so naturally i really enjoy this cover. Id say both versions are a softer rock vibe.. not really what i know to be metal..
Bad wolves is a metal band tho, but this song cant really qualify for that in my book.
For what it's worth, she did. Tommy had the finalized cover sent to Dolores to get her seal of approval before putting it on the record, and she loved it and wanted to sing on it.
@@Camino377 I heard that they were actually supposed to do the cover together the same day that she had passed away.
@@jessicabrejcha515 Um, it says so right at the beginning of the Bad Wolves video.
Alex man can you please do Blind Guardian-Mirror mirror live from imaginations through the looking glass?!?! Also Blind Guardian- Valhalla live is reeeaaally epic!!! You'll love it too!!! And when we're at it throw in Blind Guardian-The bard's song (in the forest) live as well!!!
Indeed!
Amen!
I love all those songs. I still think maiden and the minstrel knight is the most epic sounding song by them
I really can’t believe Dolores died, she was such an icon...
I know same with Chester, Walker, and Kobe
RIP we will never miss them
saw these at download 2019 - it's one way to reduce 30k+ people to tears, especially when the lead performed a tribute to dolores before the track started. very touching moment in my life for sure
s clements we missed them at download we were still queuing when they were on
Check out Remember When from Bad Wolves.
I am partial to The Cranberries version. I grew up in the 80s, so for me nothing compares to her voice and the meaning behind her lyrics. They were living in that time. Bad Wolves does a great job on the song and I will always wonder what the two would have sounded like together...
Saw this band live in Edmonton in November, and it was fantastic. You could feel the emotion all the way through.
Alex's face when in rock bass drums and guitar starts together make razzle-dazzle in this song during chorus
Honestly I'm curious what part of the song Dolores was set to sing, if it was supposed to be back and forth between her and Tommy or what
I think the chours were gona be duets and the a switch between in the verses
That's always been my question too. So fucking sad we'll never know. I wanted to hear her little bit of yodeling with some heavy guitars and bass.
Listening to the song here I'm willing to bet she was set to do harmonies during the bridge
We watched Bad Wolves in concert a few times and one of the times they had Diamante sing the female vocals. Absolutely amazing. Not sure if you would be able to find one of the concert videos on youtube or not.
Gojira - Vacuity
Probably one of the best covers to date. Not only for there interpretation of the song but the way they honoured Dolores was nothing short of beautiful.
The lead singer of the Cranberries was going to sing on this cover but she passed away which is a shame because she was an amazing singer and i love the Cranberries
This song will be stuck in your head all day guaranteed.
Tyler Daigneault so true
OMG I love this cover!
xSchattenfluchx nice profile picture brother 🤘🏻
@@Dan_28 Yours too brother, thanks! 🤘🏻
+1 🤘🏻
this is one of the most amazing covers I've ever heard!
I love both versions. The biggest difference is the anger.
Absolutely must do "Remember When" from Bad Wolves its a very messed up powerful story.
If Delores had been on this version, as planned, it would be my favorite. I was afraid to listen to the cover, when I first heard about it. I didn't want to hate a band for ruining something so near and dear to me. Tommy, however, has his own story of tragedy. It bleeds through, quite effortlessly, imo. Check out the song "Stay with me", by Delores. It's a prime example of her hauntingly beautiful voice.
@meaturama she was supposed to be in the bad wolves version. It was planned. But she died HOURS before she was scheduled to come into studio and record her parts. Badwolves decided to go ahead and do the song anyways but make it a tribute to HER.
When I first heard this song was on Pandora. Was like damn who's that? Fell in love right away.
I first heard them when they were the warmup-act for Three Days Grace and I became a fan instantly. Their live-performance was amazing and they did this cover as well. Just powerful! nice band, nice cover, overall good. thx for your reaction Alex - love them, as always!
Hey Alex, please react to my favorite band "Eluveitie", they are from Switzerland and play Folk Metal, I recommend the song "King" (best violin solo in the world) or the last song they released "Rebirth", curiosity about this band, they besides the basic instruments for a band, they also have violin, flute, and the most incredible instrument of all "Hurdy Gurdy". Thanks
yes!!! or Inis Mona or Thousandfold
Amazing band
Upvote every time!
Awesome band !!!
Thousandfold! Great intro song for them
I seen them live and they played this song. It was amazing I’m person and with everyone in the crowd singing along the experience was wonderful and emotional.
They perform this song live soooo well it’s an experience everyone needs to go to. The whole crowd was singing along and it was such a vibe I haven’t had before and I’ve been to tons of concerts.
I absolutely loved the bit throughout the song where she is covering up the wall until the end where they cant see each other.
If you liked this you need to react to Bad Wolves‘ song “Remember When”....it’s crazy good and important for the singer
The lyrics, "with their tanks and their bombs, and their bombs and their guns." I noticed he gave it a modern take, by changing "guns" to "drones." Correct me if I'm wrong
yes. they also say "it's the same old theme in 2018" instead of "it's the same old theme since 1916"
+Flyte, good catch
The new ones are tanks, bombs, guns, drones. The original had bombs twice, but new one has it only once.
she wrote the song against the IRA terrorists of Ireland, ...."2018" "drones"....wtf !!!!!
@@BrutalV She was supposed to collab with Bad Wolves and I'm sure she approved of the lyrics.
I have goosebumps every f*ckin time
this one Alive on concert was pure amazing
You should react to "Remember when" by Bad Wolves ! Crazy story behind that song.
a sajy YES
Now that you got this out of the way, we NEED you to react to some Nothing More!!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Jonny Hawkins is my freaking favorite singer in the last few years!!!!!! The whole band kicks a$$ 👍👍👍
Saw them opening for Bullet for my Valentine last Friday. I like their Songs, but they aren't good live
These guys did the song justice and there emotion though it bring a tear too my eye, i love it.
we are all still fighting..prayers out
Opeth - Ghost Of Perdition
Opeth - In my time of need
This is my first time ever commenting on your channel, but i just had to bring this up, Alex Hefner, you are one of the Reactor's i watch a lot, keep on doing what you're doing and stay awesome my friend, this song means a lot to me, cause i'm a fan of "Bad Wolves" and the main reason this song means a lot to me is cause the day the female singer of "The Cranberries" Died (January, 15th) is the day after my little brother's birthday and the day before my own birthday, i'm the only one in my family which really listen to metal and rock, my mom used to like it back in the day, but stopped liking it, this song also gets me to think and miss my Dog which sadly died now 3 months ago cause he was getting too old and wasn't able to keep up with the other dogs we had, this song gets me sad and make me cry, not only cause it's a sad song, but cause it also gets me to remember a person's death, and an animal's death, keep on rocking and spread the "Dope ass day" around
that was full justice and full beauty to the original song and beautiful lady RIP
Thannk you for reacting to this so emotional. First time saw them touching through glass symbolised to me thrm trying to reach through the veil. David Wolf put me onto Bad Wolves 'Remember when' the story about what happened to led singer and twin brother, Perfect example of working through major issues with Music.
React to Opeth Ghost of Perdition live at the roundhouse
The new live version from Red rock is better!
Mic Zen Yes it’s look better buts his growls are shit compared to their early days like Roundhouse.
@@cobrachaos96 I actually think the growls sound surprisingly good on that. The new version would sound much better for someone who is not an Opeth fan.
Mic Zen Yes true but I would always suggest roundhouse to get the best version and its when he had a passion for the death growls and then slowly stop doing them almost completely.
Children of Bodom - Kissing the Shadows
Metallica - The Unforgiven
I love this song... for a reaction. you should check out Dream On by Blacktop Mojo.... Cover of Aeromsmith's version
Saw this live in Las Rageous concert...very moving. Keep with this...God bless Alex. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019.
Glad you enjoyed it! It is always hard to perform. Thanks for reacting!

When The Real You starts and then he sings - Witchblades, Cocaine
They have a song remember when you should check out you will love it!
Both songs are beautiful in there own unique ways
The imagery in this clip pays beautiful homage to the original clip. The woman in gold, them being connected but separated by the glass, yet her hand print remains, like Deloris' memory and legacy.
A lot of thought went into this and they nailed it.
Within Temptation and Metropole Orchestra - The Heart Of Everything ( Black Symphony HD 1080p)
I think this cover is a beautiful tribute to Delores. Nothing beats the original but I love they still released it after such a blow to everyone that is a fan of The Cranberries. It's awesome they donated the proceeds to her children. She was a legend taken too early...
There was a local group that did a cover of this song in this style with two singers and I can't hear this without hearing those guys do it because it was on this level, only 10 years earlier.
Sooooo Glad you did this...both of them!!Great reactions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember seeing them open for Hollywood Undead in Houston back in May, they killed it with this song and it was so emotional that Tommy (the singer) began to cry at the end.
I saw them in Dallas. Good show all around
The singer also stepped in for five finger death punch for a few shows while Ivan was going through some stuff
React to Dance macabre!
Rats or Faith are infinitely better songs or listen to the awesome Witch Image.
Yuck
Witch image is fantastic. Dance macabre showed that ghost has amazing versatility in their music. Gives that 80's love rock feel, while witch image has more of a blue oyster cult sound
Alex idk if u actually read these but I have to agree with you. The original was just so powerful nit in heaviness of the music, but the message. Although I'm into the heavier music such as Slipknot, Slayer, Rob Zombie etc. I really like the cover as well. It's a profound respect I wish others had.
He is or cirice are way better
I love both, it's impossible for me to choose because they are so different but equally hard hitting. Thank you for reacting to both videos.
My 3 yr old favorite song. We jam to it every day.. she just herd me watching this and ran over to listen to the song as well
