Yes

However I think we need to be more concerned whether Lethal Bizzle deserves his place on the bill

Yes and No, pendulum might do well in the charts, most dance things do. but puttin them on the downlaod bill is a big risk. but its all about giving them a chance. the might as well take it.

To be honest they have created somthing new, a blend of rock and dance which is not just samples but proper instruments and as they are somthing fresh the definatly deserve their place on the Download bill.

there are loads of bands that play slots at festivals who havent done much.
or if it's a case of the genre, its definitely crossover enough. enter shikari similarly. why are people so stupid and elitest when it comes to music.
i'm glad jay z is h/l glastonbury. hahaha. sucks for all those old indie schmindie boring noel gallagher wannabes :D

The Answer is...

no. They aren't rock, at all. They are Drum'n'Bass and do everyone a favour and stop fucking covering them.

Seriosuly K!, sort yourselves out and stop going on about every band that comes out of our scene kids' stereos. Just becuase some myspace addicts like "Slam" doesn't mean they're the next big metal band.

My god, is everyone fucking stupid or something.

yeah they do, they're not a million miles away from what progidy have been doing and they do what they do well. if prodigy can be accepted amongst the rock fraternity why can't pendulum?

im sick of people saying "they're not metal don't have them on at a metal festival" blah blah blah these people need to stop being so closed minded, there's more to life then metal. i personally don't like metal that much and i've been to download for the last 2 years and am going this year. download isn't a dedicated metal festival anyway! if it was half the people wouldn't even go!

All there songs are to similar, and to be honest as much as I'm a synth and keyboard kinda fan there isn't really much talent involved in it, and yes i know they now have vocals in there stuff, but really there not exactly talented they just have lots of songs that sound the same, which are cool to listen to when your pissed or at a club, but for some reason loads of annoying scene kids seem to suddenly love them because there original or some crap. So no they don't, but then again, neither do half the bands play download this year, so who cares! BYE!

Pendulum should be allowed to play, simply because they are pretty good. I do think that perhaps they don't have quite the setlist many kerrang fans would enjoy, as they are not particularly "rocking", in that they are not just bass, drums, guitar and vocals. Still, if lethal b is playing, why not?

They would have to really play well though.

For a drum n bass band to play Download, it would be weird and feel out of place, but now In Silico is out you cannot really class Pendulum as a drum n bass band anymore, they are as much drum n bass as they are Folk.

Pendulum-burning question

Hey K! In some ways I agree with Pendulum been in the download lineup and in someways I dont.
Download originally was suppose to be for metal but it hasnt always had that reputation eg. My Chemical Romance headlined last year. Pendulum are really good if your into that sort of thing and I know loads of people that like metal and yet do listen to pendulum so yes I think they do diserve a place there and if others that are going disagree then go to another stage while there on.
But I can fully understand why people might disagree with them headlining if they expect Download to live up to its former reputation.

I think they will broaden Download's audience by being on the bill. Personally, I love their music so if I was able to go to Download they would be one of the bands I would go and see. I'm not a huge fan of drum & bass, but combine it with their vocals and guitars etc, and you have a winning formula. They rightfully deserve their slot, and hopefully they will play at Download again in the near future.

Being over the age of 12 (making me superior than the majority of people who read this pathetic excuse for a metal magazine), YES. pendulum need too be on the bill to overcome the appaling bands that are Lost prophets and elliot Minor.

Just because a band is going to be in the charts, doesn't mean they're great musicians. That's my opinion on them.

I saw Pendulum last night at Nottingam Rock city, and they were fucking awsome.
I knoo there differnt and most people going to downlaod are heavy metal fanatics, and so am i. But seriously some of the stuff these aussie rockers put together is mega.

I don't see why not. The Prodigy have been there before and Pendulum's new album rocks more than they ever have.

Pendulum are breaking through too new hights of experimental rock. And with the new style of sound on the new album i think they will fit the bill no problem.

I think pendulum deserve to play download. They are a band that have broken through two different genres and by doing so have attracted a large array of fans, they deserve their place in music history!

Of course they do! Their music is different and i think there is nothing wrong with a bit of variety. Their new song is actually quite catchy, they deserve to be noticed a bit more I think!!

pendulum@download

well it seems that download is becoming less metal each year, what with more emo bands like MCR on the bill , but i dont necessarily think thats a bad thing! as long as the bands they put on still rock out then everyone should have a fuckin ace time. i meen KERRANG features all kinds of rock bands and we dont complain about that right? thats what we want...however if they get too bloody mainstream and get the likes of jay z and kanye on i may have to punch someone in the ovaries! im just saying keep it rock xx

The burning question

of course Pendulum deserve their place at the download festival, because essentially it is guitar influenced music. Download fans needs to lose the label of it being a strictly metal festival and begin to recognise that the more variation the better.

Do they balls!!! Although, most of Download seems crap these days. I mean wow, Judas Priest, Bulelt, Motorhead and Bodom, great, Leeds And Readings got Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, QOTSA and many more awesome bands, which cancel out Arse-load by far.

no, in my opinion Download is a metal festival always has been but this year it seems to have turned into an emo and rave fest. with bands like Pendulum there the festival will lose publicity.

Pendulum @ Download?

I think Pendulum deserve a place at Download because it's always nice to see something new on the stage. And I'm not talking about Pendulum, I'm talking about at Download.
Everyone deserves a right to rock out and Pendulum do it for a lot of people. If Pendulum did appear at Download it would almost certainly attract new people who might not have gone to Download before. But most of all, Pendulum should go to Download because they fuckin' rock! I just hope the organizers see sense and PUT THEM THERE!

Pendulum

Pensulum definately deserve a place at download. Download might be about rock but, just like kerrang, it's even more about being yourself and not letting other people tell you what to do/wear/listen to. Pendulum are hated on the rave and D'n'B scenes, all my friends who are into rave deem them sellouts, etc. everything you hear when a good underground band gets the success they deserve and i admire them for being brave enough to build a band from a genre such as D'n'B and not care when other people put them down. They fought their way through everybody else and if only to accept them for doing what they have done they should play download. I personally would prefer to see some up and coming english rock like Team Waterpolo, or amazing crossover bands like Crystal Castles but i guess there is a good reason Pendulum will be at Projekt Reveloution and Download this year.

Pendulum

I'm 36 and I remember when they first started playing Prodigy and Cypress Hill in Rockworld back in the day. You got the usual 'What the fuck are they playing that shit in here for? It's called ROCKworld!' comments from indignant punters. A good twelve or so years on and the same songs are welcomed with full dancefloors. Pendulum get the same full floor already, it's heavy music in its own way, just a different style.

Me? I was dancing like a dick to the Prodigy right from the start....fuck 'em.

yeah they should play at Download and hopefully they will do well and the people will be up for it as i'm into their music. Only problem is that Download is recognised for its metal so its a bit risky having them on the bill.

They may be able to do a great set but it all comes down to the reaction of those actually going. Same applies for Fightstar and Madina Lake great bands and music but are they typical Download material?

Because at the end of the day it comes down to what people are used to and it will take time for people to accept different genres of music in one that is considered metal.

Pendulum are a great band, but every time a band goes mainstream they change to make more people like them. I think that Pendulum should stay more low key and let their original fans enjoy their music.
Look at what happened to My Chemical Romance!
