I was at that show and remember the Cranberries being the support band. RIP Delores. 46 is ridiculously young to go. A tribute to her on BBC Radio 5 as I type. She leaves 3 children without their mother all of a sudden. Just horrible.

Just my imagination.

I got to see the Cranberries in the early 90s,I am very sad to here of Dolores's passing r.i.p.

I can remember the first time I heard Zombie. Her vocals start off soft, almost spoken in that lovely Irish tone, building up. Then BAM!!! She just let's go and belts it out. WOW. She got my attention.

This song brings me so many good memories. Everytime it was played on the radio, I stopped everything just to listen to it.

RIP Dolores, and thanks for the music.

Terribly sad news.

I used to think she was an extremely attractive lady.
Saw The Cranberries live 2-3 times over the years & sadly they always disappointed.

An absolutely great voice is gone.
The great songs will stay...

Ode to my family

Zombie

That is very sad News. I only saw her once but always loved Zombie. A song you stay in the car for when it is played on Radio.

At the Berlin show opening for the Stones I remember at the catwalk a huge guy in the audience trying to attach a banknote to her trouser. Her eyes killed him right away with only one look while she kept singing. Tough little lady!

Got the privilege to see em in Luxembourg and she will be missed.

Very sad news and I didn't realise that Zombie was written about the Warrington attack by the I.R.A until today.

Never again do you call me Dandy

I've seen the Cranberries in my hometown in 2012.Great show and great memories.

^^^^^ that last picture is fabulous ^^^^^^

I know they cancelled a tour late last year due to her back problems.
Sad.

RIP

So sad.

That's way too young.

Won't forget Zombie when it came out in 1994 and her voice still touches me today.

God bless you Dolores.

d.f

Sad, sad, sad.

Such a sad loss. Saw them Cranberries in Boston twice. Big fan! tremendous voice- a rare pair of lungs as they say.. RIP

Tragic; Such a special and beautiful soul and talent. Just tragic she didn't get more time.

This is a great loss to music.

What a tragedy, 46 is way too young.

I absolutely couldn't stand her singing though...there's people who start to hysterically laugh or cry when they hear bagpipes and I had that with her singing. The combination of the Irish accent and that yodeling voice is totally unbearable to me.

Are you sure?

From [www.Independent.co.uk] :

"While O'Riordan's death has been ruled unsuspicious, her autopsy and toxicology report remains confidential.

The coroner has put the investigation into her cause of death on hold until April 3 'as they await the results of further tests'. "

Pure speculation and rumour based on a supposed "quote" by "a source in the London Police Department" the day after her death.

And now it is a bona fide IORR RIP thread.

There has never been an IORR RIP thread yet where at least one person could not resist their urge to post how much something about the recently deceased was unbearable... or someone going on and on how much they yadaa yadda yadda negative waves the deceased.


I actually though this thread might be the first where the classless person didn't show up... but nope.

In all honesty, I'm not far from Mathijs' opinion : DOR had above-average singing capacities but imho she was not a great artist.
She was more of a "one hit" wonder ("Zombie" of course).
The huge media commotion over her passing is - imho again - totally out of proportion with her (rather tiny) legacy in the pop music history.


What I don't get is how Mathijs can put down DOR while rooting for Adele. Don't these two play(ed) in the same category : the "Spinal Tap singers" aka " singers with vocal chords pushed to 11"

Just out of curiosity, incidentally. Dolores is the plural form of Dolor. Dolor means Pain. This name refers to the pain suffered by Mary when his Son was in the Cross. Dolores is a very common name. Lola is the friendly way of saying Dolores.
There is also a spanish name that recalls that pain: Angustias. Angustias is the plural form of Anguish.
