October 31, 2019  |  3 Comments  |  by Axl  |  Other News

Spotted in Limerick city today near King John’s Castle (exact location: Google Street View), a new mural of Dolores O’Riordan in the making. The photos were posted on the Facebook public group “Limerick City Citizens” by user Nathalie Roche

…and on Twitter by user Ryan Meaney


UPDATE – NOVEMBER 1

Still in the making, here’s one more photo posted on Twitter today by JJ Bowles – Limerick’s Oldest Pub

It seems the artist took as a reference 3 photos from The Troubadour in Los Angeles on the 15 July 1993. Have a look at the original pics by photographer Donna Santisi on Getty Images by clicking here, here and here. Thanks to DORSpain for noticing!

It looks like the name of the artist is Aches from Draw Out – Urban Exhibitionists.
Have a look at the video-teaser posted last week on Facebook where you can recognize the exact wall:

#ZombieToABillion – “Be one of the billion”

October 3, 2019  |  1 Comments  |  by Axl  |  The Cranberries

Soon after the video premiere of “Zombie” (live at Astoria), The Cranberries posted on their socials (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) a 28sec video to officially launch the #ZombieToABillion campaign:

They also updated their Facebook and Twitter accounts with the new banner, “Be one of the billion #ZombieToABillion”

Some fans also noticed that The Cranberries had momentarily changed their Instagram name by the words “Zombie Billion” (below a screen shot of their Instagram Stories announcing the NNTA 25th Anniversary). The name of the account has since changed again, back to “The Cranberries”

For those who still don’t know what the #ZombieToABillion campaign is all about, just know that once the official “Zombie” music video reaches a billion views, a remastered 4K version will be released on YouTube. Still something like 42 Millions to go!!

When The Cranberries posted this message, the live chat had already started and Fergal had already introduced himself. Chat started more or less at 4:30pm (BST), 30 minutes before the HD video premiere:

After a few minutes Fergal posted about the boxset, “we are working on a boxed set of NNTA which will be out early next year”

…and if you still haven’t watched the Astoria HD video yet, go to YouTube now, quality is AWESOME!!!
