More Charmed Info

August 31, 1999  |  Comments Off on More Charmed Info  |  by Zombieguide Archives  |  The Cranberries

Here’s some info I found:

“i dont know how many in this group actually watch the show, so ill explain it well.
i was reading a magazine, and they had some charmed info. the show is about 3 sisters, the 3 charmed ones. they each have a different power blah blah. the middle sister, Piper, was a chef in a club/restaurant called ‘quake’ this past season.  well as the story goes this season, she ‘launches a club that will occasionally feature big-name musical acts.’ so thats where the cranberries come in.”

Thanks to Delilah165 (delilah165@aol.com) for the info!

I’ll have some more stuff up for you later.

Hard Rock Live

August 22, 1999  |  Comments Off on Hard Rock Live  |  by Zombieguide Archives  |  The Cranberries

Dolores last night on VH-1’s Hard Rock Live

For those that missed it, the show “Hard Rock Live” was aired last night featuring the Cranberries and Live. They played:

Promises
Linger
Delilah
Zombie

The show rocked, but viewers also got a little bonus. During a commercial for Bury The Hatchet, a clip of the upcoming video for “Just My Imagination” was aired. The video is taped in black and white. Dolores has the short hair look with lots of highlighted freckles on her face. The band sits with their instruments and play on a blank white set while Dolores sings into an exacto blade-shaped microphone.

If you missed the show and would like a copy of it on video, drop me an email (no more valid!)

JMI Single Cover??

Now here’s where the speculation comes in. I think that the following image will be the cover for “Just My Imagination”:

(IMAGE NO LONGER AVAILABLE)

Now why do I think this, you ask? As you can probably see, this is a pic from the postcards included with the program. NOW, each one of those postcards has coverart on them. On the back of each postcard, it says what the name of the CD it is that that art if from (Ex: Postcard with burning bear says “The Cranberries : Promises” on the back). On the last postcard with this image, it says “The Cranberries : Just My Imagination”. Judge for yourself.

News from the Horse’s Mouth

August 9, 1999  |  Comments Off on News from the Horse’s Mouth  |  by Zombieguide Archives  |  The Cranberries

From the official page:

“August 9th 1999

Hi there, how’s it going?
We are back in the USA again. We kicked off our new leg of the “Loud and Clear” tour in Tampa, Florida two days ago. It was great to play again after our eight week break, and we weren’t too rusty (I think!!?).

We have changed our set list quite a bit since the last tour. Dolores asked us if we would be up for trying “God Be With You Ireland”, the song she wrote for a movie (The Devil’s Own). It sounds very powerful so I think it will be a permanent resident in the set for a while.

We did a video for “Just My Imagination” in Dublin just before we came over here it will be released (only in America) in a couple of weeks. I’ll see if I can put it up here for you.

O.K.,. that’s about it , I’ll talk to you soon,
All the best,

Fergal.”

Hmmm… Just My Imagination will be a US-only release? Sounds like it to me! Cool!

I wonder what the video’s concept or director is? They may have stuck to Olivier Dahan again.

That’s the news for now.

Also, here are some excerpts from that press release:

Dolores Plans for the Future

August 3, 1999  |  Comments Off on Dolores Plans for the Future  |  by Zombieguide Archives  |  The Cranberries

Dolores recently told British press about her plans later in life — to start a foundation for abused children.

“Warped things do happen in Ireland and what they used to do to children was terrible. It wasn’t just the Church, it was the beatings in school, too. But I was very lucky. I was never abused as a child. I have a very lovely upbringing,” Dolores told London magazine, Metro. She later goes on to say, “Why would anyone want to screw a child? When my little boy falls and hurts himself he cries and looks at you to take away the pain. And you feel awful if you can’t.”

She also told Hot-Press (on the issure of child abusers), “It’s the worst crime. I think they should be castrated. I just think that people who sexually abuse children get off too easily. They get back after a couple of weeks because, ‘Oh, he’s psychologically ill.’ Which I can understand, but then people get thrown in the can for eight years for smoking dope or something. I think the system is kind of weird that way. It hammers people wo are doing harmless things while these perverts, these paedophiles, are shown leniency.”

JMI Radio Airplay

Well, it seems that “Just My Imagination” is getting some decent airplay around the world.

Many people have heard it playing on stations they didn’t hear “Promises” or “Animal Instinct” played once, so maybe this single will do more success than the preceding ones.

Non-singles do well on Foreign Charts

July 22, 1999  |  Comments Off on Non-singles do well on Foreign Charts  |  by Zombieguide Archives  |  The Cranberries

Well, alot of people think that BTH is the Cranberries’s most single-ready album and here are some interesting stats to prove it:

“What’s On My Mind” is currenlty #12 on French charts
“Shattered” is *still* #6 on Japanese charts

Now, I love “What’s On My Mind” (my favorite off the new album) but ranking it on a national chart without it being a single?! That says something.

April Fools Comes Late This Year

July 20, 1999  |  Comments Off on April Fools Comes Late This Year  |  by Zombieguide Archives  |  The Cranberries

You know, it seemed fishy to me from day one. The song “Alone” that has been passed around the net in MP3 and by collectors on tape, is a ruse (aka fake, forgery, lie.. you get the point). In fact, the CD called “The Great Irish Instrumental Songs” does not exist either… along with the tale about Pearce Gilmore selling the song. This was all a semi-well-done hoax put on by one member of the Yesterday’s Gone Page en espanol. The version of the song “Alone” that you may or may not have heard was actually a Stone Temple Pilots song titled “Press Play”.
This was all posted on a very long editorial on the respective page within the past two days. This does not mean that all info. from YGP is illegitimate, as the site has three webmasters. The site does have contacts with Pearce Gilmore, but the information given by the one bad apple that pulled all this on is is false.
From now on, the page will confirm any news posted on its site.

And the US Fans Rejoiced.

Wahooo! Straight from the official page.. read!

“Hi there,
Well I just got back from Italy where I spent three weeks relaxing with my wife. Dolores was in Canada for a few weeks with her husband and son; Noel and his wife went to the Caribbean and Mike and his wife were in Portugal. Everyone had a great time and the “batteries are recharged”.
Our tour manager is getting married in a few days so that should be a good day out. We have decided to release “Just My Imagination” in the U.S.A., so we will be doing the video for that at the end of this month, and then we go to Florida to rehearse for a week before we begin our U.S. Tour. That’s about it I’m afraid (I’m so boring aren’t I ?). Talk to you soon,
All the best,
Fergal.”

So “Just My Imagination” WILL be the next singe (Ok, I was wrong) and best of all — A US release!!
