I've heard a few people and bands trying to cover this song but none of them ever even got close. Like you said: Covering this song is career suicide! Then The Bad Wolves came along and just killed it! They even managed to add another layer of pain to an already very powerful and legendary song. Quite an achievement! I have been fortunate enough to hear Tommy Vext, their vocalist, sing once when he covered for Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch on their European tour while he was at rehab. I was almost certain the 5FDP concert would be ruined without him but Vext was amazing! That was before this song came out as well and "nobody" knew who Vext was. As great as he sounds here I am fairly certain he will sing as good as this or better live.
Wow, I'm kind of blown away after watching this. I love that you had your daughter do this with you, and seeing her completely heartfelt reaction to a pretty heavy song (and the fact that she knows and LOVES the original of it), just brought tears to my eyes too. Couldn't agree more, music is meant to bring all reactions - from happy to sad. I truly think Bad Wolves did it justice, and now knowing the back story makes me feel that even more. Thanks for a great reaction - and please have Zoe do more of these with you - you guys make a great team!
This was a beautiful reaction and the first video I came across of yours. If this made her cry, I wonder how she'd fare against James Blunt "Monster". Def a tearjerker.
Its so refreshing to see a father and daughter reaction with so much honesty and modesty,dad you and mon have done such a wonderful job raising your daughter
Ok, wasn't expecting to be teary-eyed today, but here we are. She is a true empath, and I felt that. Soft-hearted Marine Corps veteran here, and she got me from the 1st moment of wiping her eyes. Great reaction, and you have a new subscriber because of that. 😂
Great song. I love this version too, and the Cranberries too. Shawn, I also think this is a great experience for Zoey, doing reactions with you. She has a very professional presence on here. Plus, you're making memories 😊😊
So glad to see you continue on with your wife and daughter. I was worried we would lose you completely. Your daughter is so insightful, I love her reactions and commentary!
Im an old metalhead, so this cover is really good to me. Zombie was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar. Its fairly easy. This version adds a really creamy guitar solo. I have some serious guitar gear in my garage. When Im in my feels, I play this version on my Jackson Soloist. And yes, the entire neighborhood has to be able to hear it. Cops know me by name. They just walk in the garage and give me "the look". LOL!
Great reaction, I recall an article where the writer basically said Dolores' version represents the pain and heartbreak of loss while Bad Wolves version is the rage and anger
The meaning of Zombie is really sad, Bad Wolves did an amazing cover. I totally feel the girl, i cried before she did! And im a grown ass man... You should absolutely watch the original by The Cranberries and read up on the meaning of the song. God rest Delores soul!!
Thank you, Armando! I will be showing her some 'The Warning' eventually as well! This one was a great one for us to check out, though. One of my favorites with little Zoey so far
Just happened to stumble into your channel tonite and couldn't help but subscribe. You and Zoey are a great team. I couldn't help but tear up along with y'all. Keep up the great work and I wish you nothing but great success 👏🏻
Awesome reaction. As soon as I saw your daughter getting emotional, that was it, immediately hit the "Subscribe" button. I Have a feeling your channel is about to BLOW OUT with you two doing reactions together!
Unfortunately I don't know the "tricks" to make a channel grow (I've seen channels come after me and grow quicker lol) but at least I get to build some great memories with my little love. That is pretty dang awesome
What a wonderful tribute to Dolores O'Riordan, who committed her later years to raising awareness and $$$$$$$ for the protection of children in war zones throughout our troubled world.......we miss ya', Dolores, your music and your heart.......I, too, feel the actress here is painting the barrier between herself and the band to indicate she (Dolores) has left us........
Here's two more suggestions, if interested. "Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen (Acoustic cover by Emily Linge)" (by the channel: Emily Linge) and "Michael Bublé & Barbra Streisand - It Had To Be You" (by the channel: MichaelBublePoland) And as always thanks for sharing brother. peace out~
Shawn,Zoey, great reaction. Zoey, smiling through the tears. What's with the blue tongue? Shawn great find. Suggest:... "Pepper" by Butthole surfers...." Bye bye boyfriend" by Fefe Dobson " Ruby Soho" by Rancid......"New Orleans is sinking" by Tragically Hip
I know you probably won't see this,but i really love ur reactions and im an independent artist! I released an album "AFTERLIFE" that has very important concept about depression,su!c!dal thoughts,death,being reborn but still facing the same feelings and injustice!!! Album has 9 tracks and is only 18 minutes in total and i would love to see your reaction on it,also 5th track "COFFIN" has music video so u should watch it with music video if u decide to watch it,thank you and love youu🫶🏼
Your daughter is both empathetic and insightful. Wonderful reaction!
So emotionally intelligent! Absolutely amazing. On top of all of it...humble.
❤Seeing a young person with empathy, does our hearts good. ❤
I am 3x her age and to see her react to this the same way I did is proof that music crosses generations and speaks volumes. ❤ This
So true!
Awsome reaction. I just did subscribe to show my appreciation

Shawn I didn’t get to watch this when you posted it but this is what I saw, you two are magical together, keep doing it you two are beautiful!!
Thank you! Loved checking this song out with Zoey
This was a beautiful reaction and the first video I came across of yours. If this made her cry, I wonder how she'd fare against James Blunt "Monster". Def a tearjerker.
the good thing is that now she has 2 versions of her favorite song to listen to :)
Don't know if you notice but at 6:34 (in your vid) she draws "1-15-18" in the paint, which is the date of her death
Your daughter made me cry 🥹🥹🥹❤❤❤ you are so beautiful togheter ❤

A kind, soft heart is a wonderful thing. Great to see such insight, thanks so much, and God bless your family!!!
Zoe music is all about emotion. You made me cry little sister.

Who knew your merch could dry tears. She’s a beautiful soul. You both are. This moved me. Being Irish It’s an important song. Love you both.
Great reaction, I recall an article where the writer basically said Dolores' version represents the pain and heartbreak of loss while Bad Wolves version is the rage and anger
It's wonderful when kids enjoy great music. Instant sub.
The meaning of Zombie is really sad, Bad Wolves did an amazing cover. I totally feel the girl, i cried before she did! And im a grown ass man...
You should absolutely watch the original by The Cranberries and read up on the meaning of the song. God rest Delores soul!!
Beautiful girl 👍. You 2 look like twins. This song shook me. 🔥
Yes sir, this is a powerful song, loved your reactions. You guys almost had me there, peace.
Thank you, Armando! I will be showing her some 'The Warning' eventually as well! This one was a great one for us to check out, though. One of my favorites with little Zoey so far
@@ShawnSalvadori That will be nice.

I look forward to the journey you are taking me on ~ I have no idea about these artists,but I will follow where you take me
We appreciate your support 😊

Paulina singing "Black Holes" and "Breath" at the Pepsi Center 2023 is good for a cry
You absolutely Shawn need to keep Zoe in your reaction

Protect that girl from this world at all costs, great reaction team,,,
Do FFDP gone away , wrong side of heaven and Remember everything with your daughter . All three are very touching watching the videos
She looks just like you dude. That’s beautiful. ❤
(Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦….Free Palestine 🇵🇸)
That was beautiful!
I would love to see the reaction to the original video, although she knows the song.
Great job!!!❤ Now do the original, please!

" Ruby Soho" by Rancid......"New Orleans is sinking" by Tragically Hip
She was eating some candy before the reaction lol, that's where the tongue comes from
I like the no hat look 😊
Highway Tune' Greta Van Fleet. A young band with Led Zepplin vibes.
Why not do both videos and react to both? It’s kind of important to see the video before going bad wolves
