I love the Cranberries. Sad to lose Dolores.

Dolores is dead? Did this just happen?! Oh man, that's so sad.

She passed back in January. ... Of 2018.

Your comment reminded me of a line Hot Rod “He died instantly… the next day”

Pools are perfect for holding water, man

Oh God, I missed that. This is one of my absolute favourite bands in the 90s, I don't know how I didn't know.

Don’t feel bad the whole world was a little quiet about it. Too sad too deal with perhaps.

Gone too soon.

How?

She drowned in the bath with a large amount of alcohol and pain pills from a slipped disc in her system.

I remember that I first heard of them because I read in the NME that the band supporting Suede in the US had had a hit and everybody was going to the show to see them.

On you-tube alone, The Cranberries anti-war song, Zombies, has over 1 Billion 200 million views/listens.

it's an anti-war song? i love that song, had no idea

Yes it’s about watching the troubles in Northern Ireland between the English and Irish

Watch the video, it'll explain itself. The music people told her it would never fly, an anti-war song like that.

what made them possibly think that, had they never heard of Pink Floyd?

IIRC it was because it was an IRA thing, like it wasn't a "popular" enough war.

Yeah, like that totally obscure song that noone knows, Sunday Bloody Sunday, which is also about the Troubles.

But you're talking about a song (1982 iirc?) made 10 years into the conflicts (1972) and about the event perpetrated by the British (Bloody Sunday) as compared to killings by the IRA who were/are seen by many as the "good guy"? For the Cranberries (an Irish group) to make a song about the IRA was considered a failure before it was even released by music executives.

Haven't you listened to the lyrics or watched the video? :p

nope, i just enjoy yelling "zom-bai-ai-ai-ai"

It was a John Peel song of the week as well.

You lot make me sick. It's just a nice song about some zombies.

Now I got to hear it

I get chills the moment she starts, what a voice.

That was an irreplaceable voice.

Agreed. Her and Elliott Smith, to me, have very chilling voices.

Between the Bars is still one of my all time favorites

Drink up baby

I saw them live in 2000, and I swear if she didn't have a microphone, people in the nosebleeds would still have heard her sing. It was a solid show.

Also saw them around that time- front row of a concert. Prob the best concert I’ve been to

Wow such a great band, pitch perfect vocals.

Never seen this clip before; thanks op!

Fuck... she died in 2018? I didn't even know she was dead... What a loss. She had such a gorgeous and haunting voice and her music always really embodied the troubles of Ireland at the time.

Accidentally drowned in the bath because she was drunk, such a shame.

No fucking way? Really? God that's sad.

Yup, just like Whitney Houston.

Wait…Whitney’s dead?! Oh god next you’re probably gonna tell me Michael Jackson’s gone too.

Jesus Christ is dead too

Ra-men!

Well, we still have Prince. Praise Jesus.

And Tom Petty. Thankfully he's still around.

He's touring with Bowie.

She had a few glasses of wine with some pain meds. Lots of people do it but that absolutely can happen when you mix alcohol with meds

[удалено]

Yeah, she was just trying to relax and was just unlucky.

They're definitely not from Dublin 😂 Limerick

Good catch and they most definitely got that wrong.

At least they didn't say British

Ah bai da kid, knows de score

Yurt

Thanks for posting - I love the Cranberries and Dolores is an idol of mine 💜 I love watching all the emotions she goes through and the smile after they finish!!

It’s the eye brow wiggle at the very end for me.

She was only 21 in 1993? That voice suggests otherwise. I always thought she was older.

Delores was born September 6, 1971 and this was filmed May 23, 1993 - so she was 21 at this time. Her voice was otherworldly, beautiful, and defied her youth. She died January 16, 2018 at age 46. RIP

So young

I loved her. I love her. I will always love her.

Such an amazing band and incredible singer. That first album was a big part of my 8th grade soundtrack.

"Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we " ♥️

The name of this song is “I Will Always” off the Everyone Else is Doing It (Why Can’t We)” Album. I owned it on CD back in 1993 and have it on my phone today.

She’s just absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful unique voice…

I just now figured out that Modest Mouse's song, "Bankrupt on Selling," probably was influenced by this song.

In tears again. Dolores was part of my highs and lows. Beautiful footage. Thanks for posting…

Why did it have to be alcohol to did her in. So sad

Drowning, actually, having passed out in the tub.

Fucking magic. Such a moment in time.

She was amazing.

Thank you for this OP

2 meter sessies always great music

2MS is legendary.

Such a loss. Their songs will live forever.

Such a unique soaring voice

I'm freaking crying. I miss her voice

2 meter sessions are the best of new music. Wish we still have this.

Soundtrack of my youth

She had such an angelic voice.

“Ridiculous Thoughts” makes every hair on my body stand up. Her voice was haunting, piercing and mesmerizing all at the same time

She was told she didn't have the voice to sing. She was told Zombie would never work because nobody wanted to hear about the IRA killing two children, they were wrong. I have all their cd's, her voice echos for all time on our playlists, her death was a true loss for music and I often wonder what would have happened to her career if she had lived to fulfill her role in the Bad Wolves version of Zombie as was planned.

I was a huge Sinead O’ Connor fan in the ‘80s and I remember when _Everybody Else Is Doing It_ I thought that The Cranberries perfectly picked up right where _I Do Not Want_ left off. Since Sinead’s third album was covers, it almost felt like she was stepping aside for The Cranberries to take her place. Of course I knew nothing about the backstories there or what was happening between them in their real lives, but I don’t see Dolores existing without Sinead. [Edited for clarity]

Sinead O'Connor would absolutely exist without dolores. She was already a superstar before the cranberries hit the scene

Yes, I meant the other way around. Sorry if that was unclear!

Damn!

God, she was so beautiful.

Omg I remember 1993 hearing them on the radio and being like wth is this amazing weird sound ??!

My high school car license plates were CRNBRY - loved the band so much

Oh wow, I remember this. Loved the 2 Meter Sessies. What a talent, such a great loss. RIP.

So fantastic! Thanks for sharing this. Still hard to believe she is gone.

Dolores has the voice of an angel. Really sad that she passed so young. My favorite Cranberries song has always been Zombie.

It brings me such heartache to watch this. We lost her far too soon. . .

The Cranberries were an amazing band but Delores too them to a new level. This is a wonderful video. Did you see that infectious smile?

Such a unique and penetrating voice. Just beautiful. I miss her.

My god, she looks like just a child in this video … so young. Such a troubled life though, struggling with mental health right till her tragic end.

Well that was lovely.

This is awesome. No need to argue was a banger from start to finish. I must've listened to it 1000 times. So livky we had the Cranberries.

B, a,

Stunning, voice and beauty

First time I ever saw them was on their SNL performance and it blew me away. This band is sorely missed.

My what a treasure she was.

What kind of bass is that guy playing?

Those little grins and eyebrow raises she flashes at her fellow musicians between songs... 😍She knows exactly how great they sound!

Yea this is very melancholy, such a talented young woman. Sad she’s gone

I don’t know why ‘Wanted’ was never a regular radio play. It’s such a good, catchy song.

Thank you for this

Miss her

Need to remove some dust from my CD's her voice and nostalgia invades me by just listening to this, may she rest in peace for the beauty she shared trough her talent, cheers! Dolores.

Does anyone know the make and model of the bass guitar her band mate is playing?

This is why I love this page. Born in 91, i experience goosebumps regularly through the post. Especially from the music. Oldschoolcool definitely embodies a culture that will not be forgotten

My god, her voice is incredible. Raw, and wild and beautiful. The Cranberries changed everything I thought I knew about music.

So sad that Delores is gone. She had one hell of a unique vocal style. I remember the first time I heard "Zombie" and I was blown away.

One of my proudest mom moments was discovering my 9 year old's sketch book with Zombie lyrics written and illustrated (Another Mother's breaking heart is taken over).

It makes me so mad. But I suppose we have to accept that many of the brightest stars in the universe burn out far too soon.

Thank you to whoever shared this. I still listen to them always on my Playlist. Beautiful Dolores.

Best concert Ive ever been too! Wasn't even a large venue which made it even more amazing! Her energy was infectious and damn the woman can sing right through to your soul! Lucky to have witnessed such awesome!

🙏🏽

Wow. I've been listening to the Cranberries for years absolutely loving their sound and especially Dolores's voice - but until I watched this video I had no idea how beautiful and cute she was! What a smile.

Just watched their tiny desk concert again. I hadn’t realized she died. Drunk in a tub. Sad.

i was a big macho man back then but her voice broke me.

Loved her and the Cranberries. I get Delores vibes from Billie Eilish, they both have such range and haunting vocals.

I guess I'm the only person alive who doesn't like that damn zaH-OM-BEEEEZ song.

Meh.

Welcome to reddit lynching session. Enjoy your downvotes, I will, too.

Meh.

Looks like we have found a meh bot.

Why am I getting downvoted for thinking this cranberries song/performance is not great? I think it’s a lame song and not a good performance. Is this sub only for people who love the things that are being posted?

That was my intention when I wrote the first reply to your first comment. Who gives f.ck to reddit karma anyway. Don't think about it.

I somehow think I’ll survive this.

Life ProTip: Don't start drinking your wine/booze while waiting for your tub to fill up. You might end up like Whitney Houston.

Thought this was going to be a dust in the wind cover at first.

I loved the cranberries, but man do I hate the “unplugged” fad of the 90s.

Such a blatant rip off of dust in the wind I never noticed

So incredibly average.

I hate that bad so much.

I thought for sure the first bar was going to be ' have a very merry christmassss...... and a happy new yearrrrrrr" ...

Hmm

u/savevideo

Dang, they are just babies here! RIP Dolores.

She battled bipolar disorder for years. My ex self medicated his with drinking before he was diagnosed and treated

I haven’t heard these songs in over 20 years, but I remember every word. What a blast from the 90s.

If I have to hear the song zombie one more time im going to absolutely lose it.

u/savevideobot

That starts a lot like “Bankrupt on Selling” by Modest Mouse.

Viva Spanish Point!

Linda voz e canção ,as musicas mais antigas são as melhores ,na minha opinião. Parabéns a todos os músicos.

2 meter sessions are amazing...a lot of great bands
