Agree rating.
He had some good songs but I could take him or leave him.
It’s far from an Irish phenomenon mate.

I forgot about this one also…
Arguably the greatest band of all time.
Irish begrudgery seems to be an Irish phenomenon tho.
Sometimes it just means we are facing our own mortality and crying for our lost youth. Like Jimmy Magee passing away, for some people.

It is ‘Smashing Pumpkin’.
I think the idea that we are the only people who begrudge is an Irish phenomenon

Great post. None of the screaming Mary Whitehouses on this thread gave a flying shit about Dolores O’Riordan or her troubles when she was alive yet now they’re trying to outdo to be the most e-devastated at her death.
Weird.

I agree with most on here. The best band of the 90s by a distance and probably Ireland’s greatest.
I’m devastated.
Only one thing worse than a sorrow band wagon, and that’s the anti sorrow bangwagon that feel the need to show they are different by not conforming to a bandwagon and in doing so confirm they are indeed jumping on the bandwagon. It takes a special kinda of person to go the long way around to get on a bandwagon they supposedly despise but inwardly long to be on.
Why cant people just be comfortable in who they are?

Dolores O’Riordan’s death is sad in the general sense that a 46 year old dying is always sad, and it’s particularly sad.for those who knew her and even those who are actually genuine fans of her music.
To the best of my knowledge there are 0 of those people posting on this forum.
What’s sad is people going out of their way to claim a special connection to somebody they didn’t give a shit about when they were alive and then get offended at any comment which they think is not hysterical enough. It takes a special kind of person to do that. A lot of those type of people stood outside Buckingham Palace in early September 1997.
Did you tell that to Dolores O’Riordan or express that view in relation to her?

I never got the chance to tell Dolores and it’s eating me up … But i’ve vowed not to make the same mistake twice and I’m telling you now, bro.
You’re over-egging it - I don’t think there’s that sort of reaction. Most people are surprised and saddened that she died so young (as much because it’s a reminder that we’re all growing older) and hearing the songs again reminds them of times past.

I signed the book of condolences there. Lovely words written by all my fellow Limerick men and women.
