Pendulum - Showdown (video)

[LoveIsNoise12]

love this song (:

[alienbabe2300]

My Boyfriend and a couple of his mates are in this vid...it was recorded in bristol!

[Yuth75]

On The radio One mini MIX, there's a part from 2.40 to 3.46 which is absolutely BRILLANT ! Pendulum is able to make some incredible stuffs such as this MIX or the first album. But they also do some ... strange video.

Keep on doing great DnB music, i think Pendulum can't do good clips ^^

[lucyandnyuuatonce]

i actually quite like this version, the slowed down lyrics in the middle are well cool

[FuckingHel1ItsRayne]

Is it me or does the premise of this video remind anyone of that movie "unleashed"? And yeah, album version way better, but the vid is still a bit exciting none the less.

[GeorgeMuffinMan23]

WHAT?!? That was the video? Expected more since the other three were sooo great. Unless of course it adds to the ongoing story i've been writing myself with the next video.

[matko5000]

I don't agree that this single version ruins the song totally. The slowmo part is awfull yeah. But the fact that it is shorter is better. Pendulum made a good idea owful by making it way too long of the same sound.

[neonfoxincolour]

the single version is great but the album version always. and by the way at 1:24, starts a sample from "Slam".

when will "Visions" be given a single?!

[matko5000]

Where do you hear that in Slam..?

[neonfoxincolour]

search for the video. trust me it's in here. i wasn't surprised either that "In Silico" sampled "Hold Your Colour", the song "Mutiny" samples "The Terminal".

[NeaxOne]

idd

[awaywiththefairies16]

it all seems to sound the same.

They were amazing live though, but their first albums much better.

[Absolution101]

I much prefer this version actually, find the album one drags on too long - this one feels much more exciting.

[Rowan1]

ace song, ace video... slightly ruined by that slow mo voice over...

[RobFF7]

Yer I prefer the album version :l

[HyperChick95]

I prefer the album version too.

[wilkesy87]

same here, but i suppose they had to cut it down for video purposes, otherwise the vid could of been way better

[luketucker2008]

im with NancyNarcotics on this 1. compared to the album version this one is horrid. the slowmo intro halfway ruined it a bit too. and when a good song is made shorter to make it more "playable" it can go wrong. u have cut almost 2 mins off the song!

wont be buyin if it sounds like this on release.

p.s i'll just listen to the album version instead...

[NancyNarcotics]

i downloaded this album new year last year :)

[NancyNarcotics]

this video is a sham of a representation of the song. Will the single sound like that? if so im not buying it

[direstaights]

i saw this live and it was fucking mental

[J0rdd]

2:19 major upskirt :D!

[masseyboy5]

yeh, shame she's werin a skirt :@ lol

[loveandweed]

awesome people should legalize this kind of fights!! and others stuff too

[Tailsfan98]

laws dont stop a lot of people =)

[schumm122]

fucking slow crap youtube no server capacity bollox

[J0rdd]

[notxenon]

this song is intense

[mightymotoxkid]

wow love the mustang

good song!:D

[sparkthebird]

fucking awesome!

Love the mustang!

[ijiaz123]

its ok the vid

[durden1985]

If Guy Ritchie made a chick flick...

[J0rdd]

It'd be sht

[siuloir611]

i love pendulum so much!! this is prob one of the best songs on the new album!! :D actually i like every song!!

[benedicttucker]

its a good tune but got their sell outs

[only1joe4life]

horny vid ;P hahahhaa

fuckin tune tho XD

[FishboyProductions]

Also, every Pendulum video seems to consist of fanboys for/against their old DnB style duking it out til the death.

Someone who has respect for music and a good ear should like them both, and for most, Pendulum is the band that is able to break the DnB hymen and put DnB upon virgin ears.

The new style isn't mainstream, no rock has electro beats and synths, its something completely original, kinda like DnB.

Quit complaining one way or the other, and appreciate the good music

[FishboyProductions]

Inb4 feminists demand that this video be taken down.

One things for sure, this shit aint airing in the U.S., more skin than those shitty rap videos I'm afraid

[rivethead2007]

Does it matter what 'pigeon hole' this music fits into; this is good stuff.  And if you're narrow minded enough to ignore it because it doesn't tick all the boxes for D n B music, then that's your loss. Groundbreaking music always upsets the older diehard generations ;)

[robstar2113]

pendulum amazing-it is kind of drum n bass but its nice to listen to something different and im lovving the bitch fight :p lol, but im confused buy the ending :s can any 1 tell me wat its about =]

[mossy200]

Im sorry but pendulum think there DnB but try listening to true Dnb artists like limewax, calyx

[DavenAza]

I'm from the fansite...

Pendulum are no longer Drum n Bass. Fact. Stop listening to Pendulum then saying i love drum n bass now.. Because you don't... :)

PLC.

[Tacadoband]

if you like catchy riffs ,electro synth sounds ,vocoders,distorted bass, techno space solo's,and muse ,rage and pendulum

then please check us out

we believe we have all of these

if not we have more songs to come

thanks

[Rockscod]

Pure shit. Pendulum had everything good d&b consisted of, but they completely lost it. They used to be dark, deep, mysterious, and fucking brilliant.

Now they're cliche, predictably boring, and misogynistic.

Good job on selling out, asshats...

[PenisForAll]

Cliche. HAHA!

SHUT UP YOU FUCKING TOSSSSSER.

DRUM AND BASS HASNT LOST IT, YOU HAVE!

DADADADADADA FUUUUUUUUUUUCK OFFF!

[Rockscod]

Pendulum isn't drum and bass anymore dipshit. And they're sure not the only band that was.

[chaosdude697]

Pendulum is Drum n Bass and NewROCK soo they still Drum n bass

[chaosdude697]

Did you kno ENGLAND loves DRUM N BASS I lission the pendulum story Last night on Radio 1 on my phone i was lissing it on my phone (soz can not spell) and it saying lots of people agree that pendulum is THE BEST drum n bass Ever soo fuck you ROCKSCOD u dont kno About Drum n Bass

[ruilolada]

we can understand you perfectly , dont worry ...

your english is fine.

[Laecken666]

3:09 also great ;)

[Laecken666]

1:22 i love this video scene :D but song is better than vid tough, it fucking kicks ass

[LinketoAntiHero]

anyone s got the lyrics please?

[Wh0rse]

the riff starting at 0:50 sounds like its straight out of Mega Man 2

[Beermonkeyv1]

glad they made this a single as its the best track on the album....

wasnt to fussed on the video thou

[Starbourne]

also its in the sound track of "punisher 2" movie it deserved to be a single.

[animefreakazoid2]

awesooooome!!! SANG!! (excellent)

[SandwichPirate]

This is some DOA shit.

[j3k2006]

this is fucking brutal wtf not even entertaining

[chaosdude697]

i agree on this Guy thums up

[UNiiQU3GiiRL]

Fgin <3

[pricey911]

seen it live bitchezzzz

[6Banner9]

I wish I could take that chick on ;P

[GeorgeeRobson]

Fucking awesome xD

[wizy23]

it´s funny you´re bad

[RemixClubXX]

Why fighting and the video dont match with the song...

[arman89]

Listen to the lyrics mate, it makes sense.

[chaosdude697]

Well its Weird ok it make sense but its a Guy singing this or is he saying about The girl Saying Kind of this ( its hard to explain )

But i dont like this Video to this Song

[ivoxavier92]

good video

[tralza]

i was always thinking what kind of video it has to be for this song , perfect one ^^

[CandyLadyR]

heavy but i love it!

[marshylovesmetallica]

haha good song good video

[RemixClubXX]

Not funny thats bad

[causerkid]

women got pwned :)

[RemixClubXX]

not funny thats bad

[Artisticlissi]

lol starsky and hutch car..what were they doin at the very start? were they bettting who would win? or selling the whores? hmm i shall have to review

[iwanthalo3]

starsky and hutch drove a '74 ford gran torino, that was a 68 era ford mustang.

great video

[jd66699]

Oh! an by the way, I personally think they've finally got the balance of rock an D'n'B spot on.

[jd66699]

Thats the problem with Pendulum mosh pits!!! Any other gig I go to, you get elbowed, punched, knocked down an folk pick you up! At Pendulum gigs folk just kick you! Mosh pits are supposed to be about gettin yer frustrations out together and havin a laugh not just pickin a fight for the sake of it! Welcome to the world of 'divide and conquer! Sermon over - PENDULUM AN THIS TOON ROCK!!!!!

[VejayBejay]

This is so degrading and discriminating. but it ROCKS!

[demonic87]

I think thats what its trying to point out.

[VejayBejay]

Yes, apparently.

[anemiukaslt]

i wish i coould fight like that

[DemonicMidget]

GO BACK TO YOUR OLD DEEP DRIVING WAYS!!! Awesome vid dont get me wrong but the old hard hitting pendulum is the one I love!!

[arman89]

This is pendulum at their best, great to see them pushing the boundaries with this music video.

[sezzi1991]

omg luv this song blast it out my car everyday

dont like this version coz its shorter, but still a real good song

[anemiukaslt]

this doesn't look like an old pendulum...it changed

[Blakeasdf]

They went a little mainstream.

they are kinda... progressive fusion rock.

[gmcdatabot]

Don't like the shortening of this track tb.but nether the less the music video is similar to what I had thought it might be.

[crerar117]

i love this song its my favorite song on the album cos its a good opener to the album.

But i have to say they have shortened the song so it makes it kinda shit.

WTF is the video about!

I dont reckon much to the video and to THIS version of this song its a let down but i still love pendulum not matter what!!!!!

But just imagine if they released The Tempest and thats a very long song!!!!

[Bushnanan]

Awesome video!

[TomstaUK]

Hope there's a VIP remix on the single =D

[dontknowwhoiamtoday]

best bit at 1:23 :P

[Trebor152]

Yeh best part on the whole album maybe. If not the end of The Tempest. But its alot like older pendulum that particualar part, atleast like the bug cheesey choones were - like blood sugar, slam, voodoo people...

[dontknowwhoiamtoday]

i totally agree mate

[Xeohelioses]

I didn't really like this song at all, sorry to say.

And the vid is wierd.

I like Pendulum, but not this one.

[highnote517]

EXCELLENT MIX!!!

I seen Pendulum at the IROCKS NITE CLUB

in Detroit! it was a TOP RATE SHOW

Check out highnote517 on Youtube for alot more

my Playlist as a lot to offer>

KEEP ROCKIN

[adykaadyka]

perfect song, perfect video. really suitable

[1blue1]

wierd vid but i like it xD

[mushroomaap]

@2 min

Nice slowdown haha

[thearcticwombats]

they had to take stuff out probably so its the right length for raidio

[csmithx]

I would tap both those girls ass... as well as Paul Kodish for his mental drumming and the fact he looks like FPS Doug...

[DavenAza]

@ csmithx

The problem is not whether you'd hit them... But whether they'd WANT to be within touching distance of you... As for your gay tendencies.. We won't even go there...

Merry Fucking Christmas son...

[csmithx]

Ima gonna sleep with you on Christmas Day, how's that my lovaaaaaaa

[Compress2Impress]

Cubase Rock!

[kidpwnz]

blow this shit awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. uhhhhhh the awesomest song of pendulum. can't wait :x

[hyperguy20]

i dont like the way they swapped bits of the song around, doesnt sound right imo

[volvaga0]

agreed

[xbpinkhawk]

i think they did this on the radio too, the just cut loads of it out and even though the best bits were kinda still left in, its just not the same when all the bits in between are missing. and i cant watch anything when im listening to pendulum, it just spoils the music, even if its the music video, which makes no sense whatsoever! just to say that pendulum is the only music i ever listen to atm and I WANA GO SEE A GIG but in the vids they have too much guitar and too little rob and synth.

[tommoboy9]

So much better than the vid for the otherside.

This song is amazing live!

[wardoar]

songs great but i didnt get the vid

[dayglohylite]

Don't know what all the other guys are talking about. I loved the whole of Hold Your Colour but I still LOVE The In Silico album. Great song. The only thing I would say is not to my liking is that I think you guys should have stayed to the original song and not re-mixed it for the video. sounds sooooo much better complete.

[calaverx11]

Agreed. I don't get what all the negativity is about.

[calaverx11]

Come to think of it, they're going through the same shit that Metallica went through when they released "Metallica." The only difference here is they only have one album under their belt while Metallica had four. Styles change, bands change. Either accept it and enjoy it or move on.

[kthxbye13]

I still hope they change back to the hold your colour style :)

[MGandCo]

me too!

i was really into hold your colour so i bought a ticket to see them, but then they realsed their new album and i really disliked it so i sold my ticket

twas a shame tbf :(

[BOMxAgonyxScenex]

i love hits band..but damn they want to be prodigy soooooo bad. this video just signifies it even more. like smack my bitch up this is a video where women are the center of what you'd generally see men being in.

[dayglohylite]

Couldn't have put it better mate. Never thought about the whole Metallica shenanigans, but it's so true. good to see there is at least one right minded soul out there :) as I've always said.... Welcome change or stagnate.

[turkey736]

First song on the album, yep, we all know its not as good as hold ur colour but that doesn't meean they're not one of the best bands out at the moment! :/

[hunt3rxwl]

I have to say Slam was my favourite and Everything on Hold Your Colour was awesome but they really have changed it just doesnt feel the same... Still better than half of the shit out at the moment

[rodgeriguez]

Aww they slightly raped the intro which i enjoyed out of the song

[Kafarianin]

mhm,, how to create video to DnB music...?

i dont known but Pendulum had idea, mayby its not prefect but preetty cool :D

[rozwell37]

OMFG was that a roundhouse kick at 1:48?

[turkey736]

XD XD IT WAS ASWELL!

[calaverx11]

She's layin' it down like Chuck Norris.

[pkpro08]

wooooow sexy martial arts =P wat the fuck happened to the original pendulum sound though

HOLD YOUR COLOUR all the way

[leftismer]

Definitely mediocre! Especially after the Hold Your Color album. I am quite dissapointed with you guys :(

[AndnAnge]

Any Nancy fan would say that! But...video is awful...open your minds a bit more and create something better!

[AndnAnge]

Good song....Poor video imho....could have thought of something better! Open your minds more!

[jacquiebaird]

That's just what I was thinking!

[AndnAnge]

They have it don't they? But do not use it :P

[tomcourt1]

They played this in llandudno the other week!

Fucking bossss

[Janimatorck]

Oooo sexy chicks fightin' it out, now that's bad ass!!

[Tom800]

lol aint it just

[OverTheTopMuch]

Pendulum= Love

[Nokni110]

the best stuff was definitely jungle sounds gold

[xzenya]

Not the best stuff they have made so far, but it isn't that bad either.

[wakenno9111]

I heard that in the punisher war zone

[Sk8rzAreHot]

luv this song!! but they missed out some of the beginning bit and put it on later on D:

i luv pendulums old stuff and thier new stuff.

that video must have been so fun to shoot XP

[Bufftingxxx]

this song is the proper boi!!!

[domlens]

The video has grown on me...didn't like it at first, but it's getting better on the 3rd time round :)

[erhardtgergo]

Yes! Wowowwowow! (: That was soooo nice! (: Next pls the tempest!!! (:

[Nokni110]

you fucking serious!!!???? worst song on the album!!!!!

[erhardtgergo]

It's not the worst in my opinion... You know we all've got different judgment... But i ment tit to tehe video actually! (:

[Imager123]

i c thong

[Joost4e4]

I totally love this clip :D

[profsim]

what an uber vid lol

next single the tempest FTW!

[Jimmmeeehhh]

i think Mutiny would be an amazing single!

or maybe Midnight Runner?

[Trebor152]

i cant believe she puts her seatbelt on when shes in such a hurry, safety first!

[kthxbye13]

Well...

I guess they took Showdown because it's often in the intro they play live.

Next song will be The Tempest or what?

I hope so :)

[mamoo2]

should be a think.

[kevinsaz]

at pukkelpop they used fasten ur seatbelts as intro :p it was amazing

[vlad3993]

all in all they tried to fit the video with the song... they failed, as a hardcore pendulum fan i think its complete crap... way to butcher the song with this shit

[DANNYMILANNY]

pendulum are mintage :D

the video is pretty gd but its abit over the top lol

[gavilanex]

fuckin' awesome

[rendrums]

Not a bad video to watch, although not as good as the music, which has been massacred here, especially the beginning of the song, i did a double take, then had to play the original to make sure i wasn't imagining things. Not happy guys.

[math52]

Yeah... The "Hold Your Color" was awesome...but i think the other CD "In Silico" is awesome anyway :P

Theyr D'nB is the best I think...before listening to their music I didn't like this style... but now I like their music xD

And this video is also awesome... it remembers me the crazy video from Voodoo People (the one with Pendulum's remix)

[rewolf31]

Cat fight instead of dog fight.

amirite? No idea wtf for though. Doesn't really fit the song.

Also, why are so many pendulum vids about running away...? I think the director has issues.

[math52]

The Director wants to run xD

[babyjinxxx]

it's supposed to represent pendulum's battle with drum & bass and it's purists..the running away symbolises the fact that they managed to escape and shake off any ties they had with the genre. yeahhhh.

[rewolf31]

So in this, pendulum is represented by a girl, and the D&B purists are girl [dog] fighting criminals? Seems odd...

And in propane nightmares, pendulum is a pair of ignorant young people, and the D&B purists are crazy satan/evagelist/alien/wtf worshippers? I'm not convinced...

Each to their own though :P

[trustfire]

The song is ok, goes hard, but yeh i usually skip past this one on the album (this is track 1). Personally i think the other tracks are far better. And yeh 'Hold your Colour' had more memorable tracks that 'In Silico'. But still they are nearly the best out there atm, love my Pendulum.

As for the film clip. Kind of disturbing, not a fan of the guys pulling the girls by the hair etc. Over the top really, and just....wierd. Hot tho in some parts lol.

Pendulum ftmfw.

[Carfreak44]

can anyone say rape? :O

[Platnumberg]

i better bea hearing alot of oldschool pendulum when i go to Origin guys!!!

[jamieyeah24]

amazingamazingamazing

[calaverx11]

Wow, most of these comments are so negative, and a couple of the positive ones were marked as SPAM?! WTF?

The video isn't impressive, the song is edited, but frankly, Pendulum still kicks ass. Why people have to shove them into one genre or another is beyond me...I just consider it "hard dance music that rocks." Listen to Bass Infektion on Digitally Imported or any other d'n'b/breakbeat/dance radio station and you'll hear similar music, with synths, without, guitars, no guitars, etc.

[travismartin1278945]

good song to be posted today

[the1one1scorpio]

Pendulum need to relate to their roots a bit - Hold Your Colour was such a good album, and they've gone downhill a little since then. Video fails, I can watch a couple of girls fight any time. I want something epic. Bye.

[jubstar]

Well said! Bring back Tarantula etc!

[sixtx]

1:23

I think that's epic.

[sixtx]

Oh and, watch the whole video instead of posting comments based on the first few seconds.

[ClarkeyStrat]

nicee
