- Overwhelmingly, I have never received such a response from all of you after releasing an analysis video. The sheer number of requests for Bad Wolves's cover of "Zombie" by The Cranberries was hard to take in, and quickly rose to the top of my list. And now I know why. Thank you, all of you.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Bad Wolves for the first time, performing "Zombie”.

![State of Play | September 24, 2024 [ENGLISH]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fVs0suPHAX8/mqdefault.jpg)
I was glad you noticed the lyric change. That's what makes the style change hit so hard. Delores had this sad haunting vibe that was mournful of the death and destruction. This version is filled with more pain and anger that it's STILL happening around the world.
They changed "same old theme since 1916" to "same old theme in 2018" and they changed the weapon order from "tanks, bombs, bombs guns" to "tanks, bombs, guns, drones".
This is my first Bad Wolves song. My sister is a huge fan of theirs and I'm a huge fan of the Cranberries. One day one of us got the song stuck in our heads and we ended up humming it together and we couldn't figure out how each other knew the song. So she introduced me to this and I introduced her to Delores, which helped her understand the video.
The first time I heard this, the change from 1916 to 2018 and the addition of "drones" really hit me because 100 years later here we still are, killing each other.
It reminded me of The Green Fields of France with "Did they really believe that this war would end wars?"
Multi Generational.
Yeah I love what they changed lyrically but for me the tone is generic. In her voice you can feel the anger and the bitterness. But for me he is too polished. Funny that I like it and it irks me at the same time. And obviously that's just how I find it, clearly others find it the other way.
@@rrw_au9584 this would have been absolutely amazing with their sound and her voice. I was glad that that was the original plan. Someone did a thing that spliced this with the cranberries version to give us an idea and it's beautiful
@@KaitLynnHt Seriously? Is there a mashup? I would love to hear it. Dolores' talents are still being spoken of and used by vocal coaches and teachers around our world. The keening, the pops, etc.. And the hard rock vibe she could have worked with here.... Jeeze. Our world needs recognition of genuine artists in their time. We need to save ourselves from all the sh*t she was protesting.
HI EVERYONE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE KIND WORDS REGARDING MY COVER OF DOLORES SONG.
THE MUSICIANS ON THE RECORDING ARE NIT ACTUALLY IN THE BAND AMD SHOULD BE NOTED - MY FRIEND & Swedish producer PHILIP NASILUND played all guitars bass & piano on this song. JOSEPH MCQUEEN DID THE DRUMS.
I LEFT BAD WOLVES in 2021 and have released 4 albums since on my RUclips page if you want to see more of my work.
Thank you everyone for supporting this song and helping me donate the proceeds to dolores children
Much respect. I’ll definitely check it out.
Is your newer work similar to Disobey or Nation? I feel like Bad Wolves lost out on their personality all over standing your ground on an opinion that should never have been argued against.
@@BRDNYT yes check out Grand theft audio on all streaming platforms
@tommyvextofficial where can we find your new stuff? I miss your voice!
And now for the truth.
Tommy was kicked out of BW because of his constant drama. He's a big fan of Trump and has a huge victim complex. He tried to sue their manager and lost. He set up a GoFundMe that was shut down because it was fraudulent.
Vext is an absolute clown of the highest order. His live vocals were shocking when I saw the band; I was shocked how different it was to on record, the amount of pitch correction needed. He's now sunk back into obscurity where he belongs.
Another little thing that I appreciate about the singing in the song is that they didn't try to force doing the signature "yodel" during the repeated "eh, eh, eh." That part of the original song has been memed to death over the years by, mostly, people that don't really appreciate the true meaning of the song. So the fact that their version of that small part of the vocals is true to the rest of the darker feel of the cover, really shows the care they took.
I love this cover, I love this song, I love music.
The term for that "yodel" is keening.
Well said. I love this cover, it suits my metal head heart and captures so much emotion. So well done, I feeI Iike they paid her justice with this song and she herseIf Ioved it. RlP Dolores O'Riordan. ❤ Bravo Bad Wolves. 🤘
Wow. I’m a 46 year old metal worker and have tears in my eyes and goose bumps on my skin. WOW
As others have said, Remember When is a very emotional song about Tommy's history with his brother that I would highly recommend. Another song I would recommend is by Tommy after he split with Bad Wolves, called Strong For Someone Else. His voice just conveys so much emotion, so when he sings these more ballad-y songs it just... hits.
I grew up during the troubles, though i was a child, and this was a song that was something I didn't understand until I was older.
Now that I'm older and have experienced war against insurgents, I have come to fully understand the depth of the meaning of Delores's words.
It is always children that lose when grow folks can no longer agree to be civil and work out their problems.
I have been requesting this for awhile and am very happy you came around to finally giving it a go. I was happy to hear when this song released that a portion of the money raised from digital spins would be donated to Dolores' children. to my knowledge at least $250,000 has been donated. Bad Wolves still perform this song with their new lead singer Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz. The song still hits home when DL sings it. Find a live version on youtube and the crowd will go all in and sing with lighters/cell phone lights waving. Its extremely emotional and moving. For reasons that need not be covered here, Vext is no longer with the band and DL has taken the reins. They do not play too many songs from the first 2 Vext albums live (Disobey and N.A.T.I.O.N.) due to the personal nature of many of the songs. But DL has fronted their last 2 albums (Dear Monsters and Die About It). Hope this shines a little bit of clarity on the bands current status.
I'm obsessed with this song and the emotions behind it. It's so sad with Delores' death and conflicts throughout the world with unnecessary deaths. This song and video was perfectly made. Thanks for reflecting on it.
I have Iistened to this version so many times. I liked the original, it's a masterfully done song. But I'm a diehard metaI head. So this rendition grabbed me way more than the original one did. Metal is a genre that can make a song so powerful and expressive. I'm glad her song has gotten a whole new Iife and because it appeals to a different crowd, gets even more exposure.
RlP Dolores and well done Bad Wolves. ❤🤘
He changed the lyrics in a few places. added the 2018, and also reference to Drones in the chorus which is not in the original, further bringing home the point of the song, that war is still ongoing and the pain is still very real. Love your take on this one Liz!
It's awesome when the instruments speak where the words can't convey the emotion... both in balance is awesome❤
Oh, this video. Tears, streaming down my face, every time. The way "Dolores" is desperately painting on the window, trying to get her voice heard from the other side, and then she finally at the end is satisfied that her message got across so she turns and peacefully walks away. 😭😭😭 Also, I'm a 50 year old woman, and rock/metal manages to touch my soul in a way that not much else does, so it's nice to hear a musical expert come to appreciate it the way that you expressed here. ❤
Dan Vasc did a cover of the Bad Wolves version. I kept meaning to look up this version and listen to it, but just kept listening to Dan’s version…it sounds so good! When I saw this suggestion on my side bar I clicked on it so fast. Thank you, Elizabeth, for doing a review/ analysis on this one.
Please react to more Dan Vasc songs, not just Amazing Grace. You can do Zombie, or I’ll make a Man out of You, or Nessun Dorma, or Burn Butcher, Burn, or Loch Lamond…there are so many good ones to choose from.
This is the first song from Bad Wolves I ever heard. I was so impressed. I saw them live at Capones in Johnson City, TN. The lead singer is a massive dude. There was no A/C he was pouring sweat and still performed absolutely amazing. Will see them again if they come back this way.
They have a different singer because the band didn't like his conservative views which I find crazy because my beastie is liberal and I'm conservative and we just agree to disagree
Yeah, I can't wait you to react on this. Bad Wolves donated all the proceeds from this song to Dolores's family. It was a nice thing to from them.
In case of Bad Wolves, I have a few songs that are my go-to for them. "Killing Me Slowly", "Remember When", "Learn To Walk Again", "Lifeline" and "If Tomorrow Never Comes" (the last one has 2 versions - the original and feat. Spencer Charnas from Ice Nine Kills). There's also a banger from The HU featuring the current vocalist of Bad Wolves - "Black Thunder".
This mans voice is beautiful. Him live is the same as well. His voice makes me cry with excitement
i’m so excited that you reviewed this song. it’s incredible
I'm excited for this! One of the best covers ever.
After that little break when the first chorus kicks in I always get like instant chills!!
I remember the day she passed i got an alert on my cell saying she was gone because I was subscribed to her personal channel. It hit like a ton of rocks. I've followed her career because she was so passionate about her message through her music. Thank you for sharing this with us 😊
I thought last time to write a comment about Bad Wolves cover, but you did it. When i first time hear this song, its just made me cry. Same again. Thank you for the analyzing, for your work too. Love to see your reactions about songs. Keep it up! ❤🩹
He is such an amazing person! Had a great conversation with him a few years ago at an after party, and he is so personable!
Glad you did this one. Tears... The entire band did an amazing job with the song, and the director nailed the video. The meaning behind the song and the poignance of it is just as relavant now.
I was hoping so much this would land on your radar! Thank you for selecting it.
Yes there are a couple subtle lyric changes making it relevant to our current time. The year change, drones…. You’d miss it if not paying attention.
This is an incredible version of I can only imagine what it would have been with her singing included as originally planned
18:50 you may be right about the meaning of why they did it. The effect is known as a phaser, it splits the guitars signal in two, one is the normal tone and the other passes through a filter that makes it come in and out of phase with the first. It gives a really nice up and down sweep to the sound.
I saw the Cranberries live in Va. outside of DC. The evening before that concert the cranberries showed up at the base of the Washington's monument, and proceeded to put on a free concert that was broadcast live via local FM radio. They didn’t have a park permit, so the park police shut them down before they finished their set. Dolores and the band felt they owed one more song to the people that showed up on the mall, so they broadcast the last song live from the concert to end the free concert. She was so cool. She surly didn’t need auto tuning her voice was perfect.
I am SO EXCITED to break this down with you ❤- I can’t wait
I was one of the many that suggested this cover of her iconic song and I'm sooo glad you did this one it's by far my most favorite cover and tribute to an amazing human that through her music and passion help shed light on such things she will be missed but never forgotten but sadly nothing has changed and we need to do better in this world.
I've been waiting for this specific reaction for years. Thank you.
Saw the Bad Wolves once they are amazing.. loved the fact that they did this cover and all they did for Dolores child
I definitely think you should check out masterpiece by motionless in white. The vocals are really interesting, and mixed and the song itself is really powerful
I second that. We've been following MotionIess for about a decade as they are from Scranton, Pa about 2 hours from where we Iive. We've seen them more times than I can say and go everytime they play at Montage Mt. I love Devil's Night, Masterpiece is great, I Iove Brand New Numb, so many of their songs.
Oh F***...... Such a great song, but holy sh** It makes me cry instantly!
The level of emotion he puts in is insane...
Wow! just wow! Thanks so much for this! I was just in my teens when The Cranberries released the song, and it follows me for alsmost 30 years now. When I heard of this song, and the story behind it, almost made me cry, just for the loss we had
This was my introduction to Bad Wolves and it absolutely blew me away. A perfectly fitting tribute to Dolores IMHO.
Brilliant analysis as always. Don't always understand what you're talking about but love listening to you anyway (you clearly know your stuff!) and seeing your appreciation of the music.
WOW,thank you so much!I never heard this band or version of "Zombie" before.It touched my soul,so powerful!I've been watching your grunge videos and they are so insightful.(STP,Chris Cornell,Alice in Chains,Eddie Vedder(Pearl Jam),Incubus etc.I love your passion and reactions so touching.Now I'm big fan of yours also.Take care and keep going.Love Topher
Props to Bad Wolves for donating any money made by this song to her family. Very cool nowadays when the music business is completely rigged.
I have never made a suggestion on here before but I would humbly point you in the direction of the song “Eat your Young” by Hozier. He’s an Irish singer/songwriter and I feel like he is continuing some of the themes that Dolores and The Cranberries were highlighting with “Zombie”. In addition to that, it’s well put together and sung exquisitely. I would be truly grateful and excited to hear your thoughts on it and Hozier in general. Thank you so much. I really love your channel! 🙌🙌🙌
I ugly cried when i first saw this after Dolores passed, it was a beautiful tribute!!!. Tommy is an INCREDIBLE artist, I love his voice ❤!!
Johnny Cash's Hurt cover, Disturbed"s cover of Sound of Silence and now Bad Wolves cover of Zombie... amazingly moving and so respectful to the original artists and yet they have brought these songs to an even higher level
When I first heard this cover it blew me away. I've heard it many, many times but watching it again today it hit just as hard. Amazing cover. Something else to watch from them is "Remember When"....another amazing song that will stir your emotions.
I loved the Cranberries version, but this version blew me away, Dolores voice added to this heavy version would have made it perfect. I was fortunate to see Bad Wolves perform this song live, and it was immense, it's such an iconic song, and Bad Wolves took it to another level. It's a shame that Tommy went somewhat off the rails, which caused his departure from Bad Wolves after their second album, such a great vocalist, but a troubled one it seems.
Well, if you can look past his politics(and I recognize that some of his new songs ARE political), Tommy's still making some very meaningful, beautiful songs on his own. Strong For Someone Else is a fantastic song about how being there for someone else helped him save his own life. Even if you dont listen to a single other one of his songs, I would recommend you listen to that one.
He has cleaned up quite a bit recently. He made amends with Bad Wolves, but said he will probably never perform with them and it really split their fan base in half. It also shows that Tommy brought so much for the band and they really don't have that same heart beat in newer music.
@@ProjectGRIDLOKTI like about as many of their songs with Daniel as I did with Tommy, so I'd have to respectfully disagree that they've lost any ground. I find Daniel's voice more versatile. Also, Tommy has one of the worst cases of Lead Singer Disease I've seen in modern bands, so I doubt they'd bring him back in, even if that's what he truly wanted.
@@Mystress1980 you can respectfully disagree, but their success post vs prior Tommy's firing says otherwise. Even their album N.A.T.I.O.N. did better than most of what they've done since D joined. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's a bad vocalist. Just don't mix up versatility with delivery. Tommy's voice resonates much better with the fans and he had a very big following and fanbase just by himself. I'm not saying they fell off, but it's very clear that they are not as successful with D vs Tommy. I feel a lot of fans are split like with Killswitch Engaged where they've had 2 separate leads who had different levels of success with the same band.
I get chills at the same spot you did at the 1-15-18 moment. It gets me every time I see it.
There are few people throughout history who mean so much to an entire generation, Delores was one of them.
I think this cover came at the right time and did what it needed to do. It brought Delores to the attention of a generation that may have gone on not knowing her talents. Love you guys for this. ❤
I’ve loved this song song I was a babe. It always made me emotional. This song is everything and more. RIP Dolores ❤
Thank you so much for bringing much needed focus to this song. Tommy did an amazing job of creating a tribute vs. a cover song.
This song still gives me chills.
Tears run down my face! WOW!
This cover give me chills every time i hear it.
See??? THIS is why you are one of my favorites! You did it AGAIN! I can trust that if you are reacting to something I don't know (or in this case that I have completely forgotten), that I will learn something AND occasionally find a new artist I gladly add to my 'repertoire! I wasn't much interested in the original. Mostly because I didn't know the backstory and the inspiration for the Cranberries. That brief guitar solo is such a wonderful example of 'channeling the emotion' of a song rather than just 'showing off' for the spotlight. This is an amazing cover. Actually, "resurrection" might be a better description considering all the circumstances. What an homage! Another great reaction, Elizabeth!
I'm A 54 year old big, strong 💪 man and I CRY EVERY TIME I watch this. 😢 . I love you get the emotion and the weight of sorrow in his voice... his voice always feels like he's about to break with the weight of the sadness and desperation behind the lyrics.
He said, "we love you," to her for all of us in that tribute and i thank him. There was a reason they were gonna colab. Thank you agaim for covering this.
Tommy vext is now solo. He does some amazing work and some amazing covers
I'm not going to pretend to have an extensive education in music (what I know past high school band is self taught), but I've never heard chiaroscuro used in a template of music, only physically painting or drawing. I do understand the word and how the comparative contrasts are being made, which really makes me enjoy your reaction, analysis and educative session! Thank you so much for doing the original video and this one also! Both are amazing pieces.
This played one my local rock station for months, many times a day, and I drove around doing deliveries. It never got old
Tommy came from a band called Divine Heresy before Bad Wolves, album called Bleed the Fifth. Very heavy, very awesome! I've personally followed his sound for many years now.
Another absolutely phenomenal cover was Disturbed doing the sound of silence. I think I remember you doing that but if you haven't absolutely have to!
Remember When is a definite favorite by them. Very powerful.
the load this song carries, especially in this day and age, in any voice..
I am a HUGE Cranberries fan, their album No Need to Argue was on my permanent playlist (was rocking that 6 disk CD changer in the trunk boyos!!!) and got me though some really tough times in my early 20's. I was absolutely STOKED to hear that Dolores O'Riordan was going to add her vocals to this cover....then the news of her death hit me like a freight train. Then I heard this rendition, and saw that Bad Wolves was donating the proceeds to her children...broke me even worse in the best possible way. Well played gents...well played. Great reaction as always!
The part where you talked about how the singer moves to a higher pitch by... well, I don't get the technical terms but I get what you're saying... even though I don't understand the terms, I know exactly what you're saying. That's what I often did when I used to sing a lot. My voice doesn't go very high so I needed another way to simulate those notes which would seem to be in the next octave. It's a difficult thing to learn. Big props to the artist for perfecting it.
A Perfect Circles' rendition of "Imagine" seemed to do the same thing in conveying a more dark sound in its construction. Both very well done.
I love this cover. I also like how even though they updated some of the lyrics, but still stayed true to the original song. I also love the image of her interacting with the band. The thought of Delores singing this with them would have been epic.
It’s like if Dolores was holding in the rage with a quiet tone, this version unleashes it. Both phenomenal works of art
This song was my introduction to Bad Wolves as well, it is amazing and powerful. Other Great songs by Bad Wolves, Sober, Remember When, and Killing me Slowly all great songs.
Ok...., 1st Time I've seen this.... WOW!!! & THANKYOU !! I love Cranberries & Delores so much. I had Tickets to their Perth WA Concert.., which was cancelled because Delores injured her cruciate ligament in a ski accident in the Alps' Val-d'Isère and underwent major surgery. In September 1994, only a few months before their planned Australian Tour. They were never to grace our shores again..., & then Delores left us 😥 Hearts broke all over the world.., for what we lost that day xoxox R.I.P
I get nothing but nostalgia when I see their video
You can just feel the grief in both versions for all the waste that conflict causes, for losing loved ones.
Let's goooo! I'm so excited to watch this video.
fyi, since you mentioned it, we will all be awaiting your cover!!
This song is so heavy in so many different ways. Tommy truly does this song justice…
Not a lot of things can make me cry, this just ripped my heart out. Incredible.
Tommy has a amazing voice
Gotta listen to remember when. Such a great song and it’s a huge insight into tommys life
It's been a while since I've watched one of your videos straight through, but I've never seen that either. That was beautiful!!
Great to see a reaction to this, love the original and this. How about a doubler feature of Gone Away by both the Offspring and Five finger death punch?
Every time I saw Tommy perform this song live he could never get through it without breaking down in tears.
13:50-14:25 : Such genuine reactions. Look at the range of emotions expressed. You're awesome Elisabeth. We feel it along with you :)
Remember When by Bad Wolves is one of my favorite songs
Tommy is a super cool dude too. Ran into him out in the crowd at Mayhem Fest about 10ish years ago and my buddy and i told him we were hige fans. Hes a very humble person and greatgul to his fans. He even gave us CDs of his demo solo work he was recording prior to forming Bad Wolves.
❤ love your attitude. Hope you’ll do more reactions about similar songs
Hey Elizabeth! The sweeping sound was actually a guitar effect, sounds like a phaser. Great analyzation of this awesome cover!
"Sober" by bad wolves hits the spot every time
There are so many things right with this video. The woman touching the mirror was actually a stand-in actress, named Ava Capra, and not Dolores.
Also, the tone of this song presents itself differently than the Cranberries. Not a knock, but it demonstrates how powerful a message can be conveyed by voice. In the Cranberries original version, it had the tone of "we are waiting for something to happen" cause of the subdued volume which she is singing. So the power of her message was in her accenting the words and melody. In this version, the tone turns into "we WANT something to happen" , reflected by the power and passion behind his voice as he is singing
Tommy is one of my favorite singers. You can feel his emotion when he sings. Might be sad or might be pumping you up. A lot of his songs are on my workout playlist
I absolutely LOVE this cover, so glad it is getting attention
Thank you!!! You caught all of the subtleties of this video that so many people missed.
I remember watching them in 2018 when they opened for Breaking Benjamin and Five Finger. Man I got goosebumps when I head it an still do
Bad Wolves - Hear me Now is a must! Diamante and Tommy are amazing in duet
I like the updated "2018" and "drones" to let us know this refers to today as well. I also like to hear zombies as "stop it!".
U could any one of his songs and get mild to wild layers truly gifted singer
Yes!!! I'm so exited that you did this one!!
The HU is a Mongolian folk metal band. They are beyond interesting. Quite unique.
Love what you do.... Thank you!
0:31.5 You got chills the same time we all did the first time listening to this cover.
this is a brilliant version of this sone, a much heavier treatment, which gives the chorus so much intensity. I really love the one bar rest they added between the verses and the first chorus, it really adds to the impact
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
I got to see them months later in 2019 and they performed this song it was chilling and Tommy was a bad ass he injured his arm in rehearsal that day and still did this with his whole set
Brings a tear to my eyes, knowing what was going to happen and what ultimately happened. So sad. RIP Delores ❤
This is on my road trip playlist along with another song I'd love so see you analyze - "Alone in a Room" by Asking Alexandria.
