That moment when you realize that when she finally completely covers the glass with gold, she has passed all the way to the "other side." And when he tries to touch her hand through that glass he cant because she's gone forever. Very powerful. Very moving. One of the saddest things I've ever seen in a music video
Hey just a fyi Dolores actually heard the demo of this song by Bad Wolves and loved what they did so much that she wanted to actually be part of it and of course Bad Wolves were more than floored and honored that she did. She flew to the location the day before she was to record her vocals and unfortunately passed away that early morning. So sad but it's also really makes this cover so much more special that she did actually get to hear it and loved it so much she wanted to be part of it.
The song is very impactful because of the circumstances surrounding it but it does still make you wonder how good it would have been if Dolores would have been part of it!
@@taylorfamilyreactions Truer words have never been spoken! As awesome as this version is I can't ever stop wondering what it could've been WITH Dolores O'Riordan herself.
@@thedarcbird it wasn't suicide though. she died of accidental drowning, likely due to being passed out from a night of drinking. The suicide story was a rumor spread by a tabloid media in very bad taste.
This song was written by the Cranberries for two young boys who were blown up and killed by an IRA bomb walking by a bin outside McDonald's in Warrington England on Feb 26 1993, the boys were Tim Parry aged 12 and Jonathen Ball aged 3. They were innocent victims of war between Ireland and the UK, thankfully this war is over forever one hopes. But, may the souls from both sides of this long hard war finally RIP.
Like Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence, Jack White's cover of Jolene, and many more songs covered by hard rock or heavy metal bands, they always take the song to another level. Love this band!
She wrote her death date in the gold paint. This video is beyond moving. Not sure if I have seen anything to this level in music video before. I was around when this song came out originally & that was crazy then, but not this degree. Chills.
Equal parts brilliant amplification of the message of the original and gorgeous eulogy for the departed singer. Will never not give me chills when i listen
All of their songs are incredible. Everyone I have watched react to this video always misses the 1-15-18 on the glass. I am not for sure, but believe that was another way Bad Wolves paid tribute to Delores in the song.
Hi Michael, thank you for you comment, It took me a while because I forgot Americans write the date backwards/wrong but I believe 1-15-18 (15th Jan ‘18) is the date Delores passed away
@@taylorfamilyreactions I am American and I couldn't agree more about "the date backwards/wrong" thing. I joined the USArmy early in life and they use Day-Month-Year the same as the rest of the world. I'm honestly not sure why the rest of the country still can't catch on. Now that I'm retired I still have trouble remembering that civilians do the date "backwards/wrong"
"Pfffttt" more or less was your end of video quote, as mine was upon 1st seeing this cover under the circumstances ....... WTF else is there to say.............? -- Except maybe that I read that when the model, name Ava Capra I think, came on the set in the gold paint EVERYBODY just went ........................ dumbfounded silent for a bit -- I can't imagine what it must have been like for the band that was going to record with her the day she died to see THAT tribute imagery ......... PFFFTTT!!!!!
This is one of my top 3 covers you might also like Disturbed's cover of sound of silence by Simon and garfunkul my other fave is alien ant farm cover of smooth criminal by micheal jackson
The singer is Tommy Vext. He recorded this w/studio musicians and the rest of the band showed up for the video. He alone made and then donated all the money to her children. He is an amazing human being. He has since been kicked out of Bad Wolves for his Right leaning political views.
Uh... I love the music, but if you think he's an amazing human being with views such as his, you are an equally horrible human being. Also, he wasn't kicked out. He LEFT.
He wasn't kicked out of the band he left on his to keep his band from losing face with the public and didn't his bandmates to suffer from his political beliefs
It sounds very good, but Dolores her version was way more powerful imo. She brought this message deep in my heart and soul. Her sound, her voice, that Irish funeral 'crying' (keening?) it all gave me goosebumps every time I've heard this song, still does and that's almost 4 decades.
Great video concept. But why are we pretending this is a good cover? Slick overproduction kills the song for me - and please, spare me the argument of how Dolores wanted to be a part of this. She was obviously not in her right mind at the time. Who the hell does ANYONE think they are, altering these lyrics? They didn’t have goddamn DRONES during the Troubles, which didn’t have anything to do with 2018. It’s not okay for a bunch of Americans to water down a song about a very specific Irish conflict. Glad they donated to her kids. That’s the only positive thing I can say about this auto-tuned nü-metal drivel. There’s a freaking disclaimer quote at the end from the lead singer who’s NOT from Ireland and whose voice is mediocre without digital assistance. He’s explaining why they did the song, but let’s be honest, he’s apologizing. There should be an international ban on covering this legendary song. Seriously, WTF. No. This cover is SO bad.
It really is almost as if they were meant to do this song the way they did. Very rarely does a cover bring the same, if not more emotion than the original.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I really wonder if she intended to commit suicide, seeing as things were about to turn around...

He's wearing a kilt.
this is a massive tribute to an iconic singer & the song is so emotional ...RIP Dolores..❤️🩹
tommy vext's sultry raspy voice took this song to a new level
So glad they put the gold lady in vid as a tribute! 🏴
This cover by Bad Wolves and Disturbs's cover of "Sound of Silence" ranks above any other rock covers I've ever heard.
But which is better between bad wolves and disturbed because I think bad wolves but what do you think
Saw Bad wolves in concert and they did this song. The lead singer brought his mom on stage and they sung together. Freaking amazing
Has to be one the best anti war song every written
RIP Dolores you where taken to soon
# Be Kind ❤️ # Peace To All ❤️

The date the two boys were killed was 20th March 1993
It was 20th March when Johnathan and Tim were killed, 26th February was the first attack (failed) on the gas storage facility in the town.
Like Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence, Jack White's cover of Jolene, and many more songs covered by hard rock or heavy metal bands, they always take the song to another level. Love this band!
The thing that got me was the date Delores died written on the wall by the lady in gold. Choked me up.
She wrote her death date in the gold paint. This video is beyond moving. Not sure if I have seen anything to this level in music video before. I was around when this song came out originally & that was crazy then, but not this degree. Chills.
This is a powerful cover and a lovely, heart wrenching tribute.
Not just a great cover, but the imagery of the lady in gold representing Dolores gets me every time. 💔
Equal parts brilliant amplification of the message of the original and gorgeous eulogy for the departed singer. Will never not give me chills when i listen
Glad to see even the generations that grew up with the song approve the cover, they must have done an amazing job if we're ALL in agreement lol
This song and Sound of Silence by Disturbed got me thru the very difficult times of the pandemic. The best ever!!
What a great cover, and a brill video, very touching, she on the other side of the glass and he can't touch or reach her now, WOW.
Five finger death punch… wrong side of heaven. I promise you that you will absolutely love it
I read that the band had to regain their composure after the golden girl arrived for the 1st time.
All of their songs are incredible. Everyone I have watched react to this video always misses the 1-15-18 on the glass. I am not for sure, but believe that was another way Bad Wolves paid tribute to Delores in the song.

The repairs will cost at least 20 pounds.
I love the glass scene. she's on the other side now. but has left her finger/hand print on the world R.I.P
They did a mash-up of the Cranberries and Bad Wolves and it is INCREDIBLE!!!
Saw them perform this live in 2019. This band is outstanding live as well!

Gives me chills every time I listen to it!
They have a great set of songs, Remember When is an amazing one of theirs, and so is Sober. Tommy Vext (the singer) left the band around 7 months ago.
Now, be nice.
Outstanding!! WoW!!!! First time I see Bad Wolves......his voice is phenomenal!! well done!!!!
This is one of my top 3 covers you might also like Disturbed's cover of sound of silence by Simon and garfunkul my other fave is alien ant farm cover of smooth criminal by micheal jackson
Thank you for the recommendations! They sound great and I can’t wait to check them out! 👍🏻
The guy was like oh my gosh
Doc Coyle is amazing on the guitar solo
Bad Wolves is a killer band.
Check out Killing Me Slowly and Sober. Both great songs!✌🏻
Check out remember when by them. It’s another amazing one.
Thank you for the suggestions, I will add it to the list and check it out as soon as i can 👍🏻
espectacular
The singer is Tommy Vext. He recorded this w/studio musicians and the rest of the band showed up for the video. He alone made and then donated all the money to her children. He is an amazing human being. He has since been kicked out of Bad Wolves for his Right leaning political views.
Really!? 🤯
Is Tommy creating his own music or part of a new band??
Uh... I love the music, but if you think he's an amazing human being with views such as his, you are an equally horrible human being. Also, he wasn't kicked out. He LEFT.
He wasn't kicked out of the band he left on his to keep his band from losing face with the public and didn't his bandmates to suffer from his political beliefs
that is also a model in this vid that resembled Delores, but is not her, unfortunately.
Nothing will beat Dolores version, but excellent heartfelt cover.
When the golden model first came out the band stopped everything. Then had to take so time to compose themselves before finishing the video
I wonder where are the Cranberries' bands. Their guitarists and the drummers. They too sure are proud on this cover.
Liked more than the original. It was grittier.
Thanks for the comment Lisa!! The original is definitely a classic but as far as a cover of it, this is as close to perfect as you could get!
One of the more genuine reactions I've witnessed
Good eh 👌
It was amazing!! 👍🏻
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Tommy vex brilliant
If you look in the gold paint they put the day she died.
Yep 6:55 if anyone wants timestamp
Lovely
I am glad this older reaction popped up in my feed, love the song AND your reaction. Please check out Bad Wolves - Hear Me Now feat. DIAMANTE.
Midnight oil (Beds are Burning)
Sounds of silence by distubed.
The lead singers twin brother tried to kill him in 2010 he sings about it in a song called remember when
Please react to My Heart is Broken by Evanescence!
Thank you Lisa for the recommendation! I added it to the list 👍🏻
Better late than never.
Well I'm a mess.
Nothing changed....only the death tecnology did it 😢
It sounds very good, but Dolores her version was way more powerful imo.
She brought this message deep in my heart and soul. Her sound, her voice, that Irish funeral 'crying' (keening?) it all gave me goosebumps every time I've heard this song, still does and that's almost 4 decades.
Her voice is basically that anyway. She was from Limerick and it added to it more. Its a powerful voice
Painful and an opportunity to reflect on the madness.
Great video concept. But why are we pretending this is a good cover?
Slick overproduction kills the song for me - and please, spare me the argument of how Dolores wanted to be a part of this. She was obviously not in her right mind at the time.
