The Cranberries are a Top50 band in History

[souljacker]

Innit. Amazing also they stumbled upon urban at just the right time to join in the Cranberry talk

Google alerts are easy to setup.

I don't like the drum sound.

In general or...in a specific song?

 

[klang]

I listened to NNTA this morning to see what the fuss was all about and didn't like the drum sound on that. Too big / 9ts / tuned.

Is that the 25th anniversary addition or original?

 

[klang]

it's whatever came up first on youtube.

Does Urban still do those "awards"?

Sometimes voted on at end of year, but this was a particular award nominated by Tribal Princess (before she got banned ) and nobody else commented so I took it as unanimous

I was proud although it was really by definition wrong because she'd noticed me

This is No Need To Argue.
I think it's very sparse* as regards drums


*completely devoid




Eta do you mean the entire album?

 

[Favelado]

Can you just accept that other people don't like it?

 

[Aladdin]

Zombie... the BBC refused to play it when it was released.

Wh?
Of course I can...lol...

But this is a thread about the Cranberries and I am posting the song mentioned...and it actually doesnt have a single drum beat in it.

So....am I not allowed to post the actual song?

Zombie... the BBC refused to play it when it was released.

I think they banned the video, but didn't refuse to play the song.

 

[Favelado]

The BBC made Massive Attack change their name. Madness.

 

[Aladdin]

Maybe that's why some people didnt get the meaning of the song.
The band were very involved in creating the video and wanted footage of the Troubles etc included.

Definitely true in my case. I had no idea it was about the troubles. As I said on the other thread, I thought it was about someone suffering from shell shock in the first world war.

I don't watch pop videos much. Mostly I just don't pay much attention to the lyrics of pop songs I don't like, like most people.

 

[Flavour]

It wasn't you that made the "catholics...urgh" comment.
And I didnt call you a racist.

That was me and I fully stand by it. You're the one who then equated Catholics = Irish, so to be disgusted by the pro-life comments of a Catholic is therefore to be racist against the Irish. Loved that one.

Then I took the piss out of Dolores' episode of abusing airline staff because I thought it was funny. But we're not allowed to do that because she had mental health issues. But I don't agree. I think if rich, famous people abuse workers serving them then they deserve to get ripped for it, and can't hide behind mental health problems. Fuck em. And fuck the Cranberries.

e2a: a Crannadict no pierdas tiempo hablandome porque no me importa un coño de lo que piensas -- eres muy fragil si no puedes escuchar las opiniones negativas acerca de los grupos musicales que te gustan. ciaooo

 

[killer b]

FWIW I'm an (ex? I'm not sure it's really possible) catholic of Irish descent and I think Catholicism is pretty vile too.

 

[Flavour]

I too come from a Catholic family, FWIW, but don't feel I even need to qualify that.

 

[rekil]

I didn't make any anti catholic comments, you must have been thinking of someone else's posts when you called me a racist.

It was probably me. And there's at least a hundred more out there.

Irish abortion referendum: Ireland overturns abortion ban

The Republic of Ireland votes to overturn its abortion ban with 66.4% backing reform of the constitution.

www.bbc.com

SK is usually found doing a tedious brits out up the 'ra 800 years act for the likes of sas. How anyone can perform that role and simultaneously abuse people for not liking an objectively pro-imperialist dirge like zombie is anyone's guess.

Actually...that's not true.

And as for the abortion referendum I voted for it...in other words to allow women the choice.

I have never ever posted "Brits out". And never will.


Eta
..this ^^ is the first time I've ever posted those words together.

Also Zombie is not pro imperialist..
What on earth would make you think it was? It's very much anti war...and anti what happened in Warrington.

 

[rekil]

Opposition to catholic fundamentalism has now magically ceased to be 'anti-Irish'. #bumpsintofurniture

I think we can all agree that war war is stupid and people are stupid and love means nothing in some strange quarters.

was talking about the album.
but don't worry, the drum sound was only a minor quibble in the morning, many much more annoying things (not related to the Crannos) have happened since.

Oh ... sorry to hear that.

Having a bit of a tough time here too.
Had a mammogram yesterday and all the radiologist would say was "go enjoy the next 3 weeks".

 

[chemn]

I might be being really slow on the uptake here, but who are STP and CCR?

Thought STP might have been Seanie The Paul

You don't like their drum sound, but to me Fergal Lawler is the greatest drummer of the 90s.
