i dont know whether to laugh or cry.

Fuck yeah! Wow, you slag off Arcade Fire and Radiohead and Kings of sodding Leon, but it is a CRANBERRIES fan who goes postal. Who sees through the, er, fascade. I’m scared of Dolores now. (I remember reading the Cranberries’ article you’n'Taylor wrote: it still makes snort with laughter.)

When I used to write music reviews for the Morning Star the only peice of vitriol I received was from a fan in Cyprus who had googled my article. She was defending to the death the album I had slagged off – twas a Proclaimers one.

Wallace Wylie
I remember it too. I remember just about shitting myself I laughed so much. I think this may have been written by Dolores.

Everett True
Dolores used to employ very similar language whenever my name came up in conversation. There was a two-year period when she refused to speak to Melody Maker except to make personal attacks on my mother.

Lucy Gulland
Oh dear, what an idiot she really was. Poor stupid cross Dolores. Was Melody Maker really clamouring to talk to her in those two years though? I’ve lost any sense of how big/relevant/worth talking to the Cranberries were: they seem such wretched nonentities from here. Btw, the reason on your list for hating her that resonated most with me was her voice. It could have been such a beautiful thing. And she fucking wasted it. I was almost fond of her for her lyrics, they were so monstrously poor.

I preceptively knew that these comments wouldn’t be nice. In 2011 we all paid the price. Traboo, traboo, traboo.
