Talk:Pendulum (drum and bass band)

message: As much as I'm tempted to agree that Pendulum at download were "fucking awesome", surely "well received" would be a more wikipedia-friendly way of putting it? :-)
"...Generally well recived in the minds of the public" would be a more polite way of saying it! XD J (talk) 21:10, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

message: From the mouth of Rob from Pendulum:
RE: 'JUNGLESOUND GOLD'
just gotta clear this up:
a) We had no prior knowledge of the release of this CD. The first we heard of it was on discussion forums linking it to the product being sold in shops.
b) We mixed the CD back in mid-2004 - therefore the mix, as well as our tracks included on the second disc, do not reflect the Pendulum sound of today (for better or worse, thats up to you ;])
c) We never intended nor agreed to release 'Masochist VIP' - I did it in about 30 minutes as something special to play out at a show. It was only given to Fresh and Adam F in low quality mp3 format for them to play out as DJ's - not to be released.
d) We didn't approve and in fact strongly disapprove of the 'Junglesound Gold' artwork, especially in relation to our name being unfairly used as an advertisement - plainly an attempt to link 'Junglesound Gold' to the recent success of 'Hold Your Colour'.
As a result of the above, we do not endorse 'Junglesound Gold' at all.
- Pendulum.

message: Can you really say "Critics of Pendulum dislike their glossy and futuristic sound, claiming it is cheesy drum and bass." Sounds like one person's opinion to me...
-----
It's true -- some do say it is a cheesy sort of dnb, but that criticism emanates more from people that have been involved with the dnb scene for many years and are a bit shocked/disappointed at the popularity it has gained in just a couple years -- meaning it is becoming a popular style of music.--DragonFly31 16:14, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Criticism is definitely important. Please don't blank it out cause you don't like it! However, I agree that it does need to be fleshed out, possibly from more popular Drum & Bass figures? But I'm not naming names, I'm not sure exactly who has.BillyGoatzgRUFF (talk) 17:43, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

If it wasn't 2006, then this needs to be fixed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.205.75.82 (talk) 23:46, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as i know pendulum have being doing live DJ performances for a while now, they are after all, 3 DJs. It's their live performances as a band actually playing their music that began 2006. I believe was in London, can someone confirm? As far as i know the Warwick Uni performance, was like the Coventry Dogma performance (im from coventry and was at dogma, it rocked!) in that it is was a DJ event.

message: I'm wondering if the listing of the single "Painkiller" should be changed to show as "Freestylers featuring Pendulum" rather than the other way around.  The current order implies it is a Pendulum single but as far as I can find it is a Freestylers song and appears on their album.

message: Deleted Style Rock and added Style Breakbeat: Although they make classical rock-conzerts this is in my opinion not enough to add a rock-style. The link added to Electronica Style also mentiones only various D'n'B categories.

message: Why would the band (a musical group formation) be considered half British just because they "relocated" to the UK? There are many bands/singers or actors and actresses that "relocate" to a different setting (i.e; Kylie Minogue and Gabriella Cilmi to the UK, Tina Arena to France, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman to the U.S, ect) but their origin comes first. Must we now amend all of their articles due to this? Entertainers should be expected to travel around the world, it's what they do. 
It is also very common for many bands and entertainers of Australian origin to travel to other parts of the world for a lucky break. People move all the time - a sea change should not change your origin, it's as simple as that. 
This is especially true due to the fact that we are describing a band, and not a particular individual.
Thus, I conclude that since the band had formed and began their music in Australia under the band name Pendulum, they should be considered an Australian band until further sources suggest otherwise. Jas315 (talk) 18:38, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
