Does Taylor Swift approve?
spotify release when?
Pendulum are ghey.
@@Danwuuuright now
Love how they didn't change too much but added enough to make it undoubtedly pendulum
For real! Genuinely had no idea it was a cover until the lyrics.
That’s the Pendulum way for remixes though!
Look at their remix of Voodoo People by The Prodigy for example!
I agree
fuck do you mean "they didn't change too much" lmao they changed everything but the lyrics
@@TillyP even then, they changed a line of lyrics at 2:09 for the better XD
"what's your favourite genre of music?"
"it's complicated"
It's like nickleback
Lol I have a "gray folder" for music like this.
one of the sickest bands from Australia ever
yo matttt , big fan !!
Legend himself 🔥
i remember getting fucked up on the mandurah line with pingerz to go see pendulum ay
thats about all i remember
I'm only asking you cover more of them PLEASE hahahaha
We need a cover of this with the cameraman jumping about
it will never stop amusing me that one of Peradur's other jobs, when not playing a golden guitar in Pendulum, is welsh-language commentary of the Tour de France.
YEP. Same here 😂
He's a legend!
Noooo...... 😂😂 serious?? 😂
@@itsdan722 oh, he does some other races as well. But yes. Massive pro-cycling nerd. Extremely Welsh. He's great!
@@alstorer thats made my day bro 😆
Rob's vocals are always insane but holy crap, he went all-out in that chorus.
Transports you back in time into 80s with his voice
its because its a lip sync, but still great band
@@JamesZero Not entirely lip sync, but it's layered with either prerecorded vocal (or added in post-production).
I love Taylor covers because sometimes I love the writing, but not quite the execution. Metal covers and covers like this just really show a good song is a good song, different packaging just appeals to different people.
couldnt agree more.
If TS stopped performing altogether, she could still continue to make a fortune between writing songs for other artists and royalties from her own material being covered.
@austintrousdale2397 I 100% agree. I've played covers for pop snobs, and they love it until I say it's a T Swift song. I used to be like that in my youth. Now it's more guilt, just pleasures!
Yeah, even anti-TS-ers need to admit that superb songwriters will always inspire superb covers. What an absolute BANGA!
Check out Alex Melton he does some great stuff similar to this - repackaging songs
‘I literally never feel like anyone’s a sexy baby’ CACKLING at the line change
Time and time again Pendulum prove they are GOATs
Same!!
Happy they changed that sus line, lol.
@@BiggusNickus It's a reference to a scene in 30 rock where a grown woman had a baby voice and a childish look. Taylor is basically saying she feels like everyone around her is young and pretty and that she feels like she's a monster. The line isn't meant to be sus.
@@BiggusNickus you must not do well with pop music if that's your reaction to the word 'baby' lol
@@ltbqHIT ME BABY, ONE MORE TIME!
As a massive fan of both Pendulum and Taylor Swift, my Venn diagram of excitement is very much overlapping right now.
I thought the exact same thing as soon as i saw this on my feed. Worlds colliding in the best way possible!
100!!
Didn’t know you could like both!
@@TheRedhillwolf you can like all things my friend!
@@WezzyCruze very true mate, my music taste is pretty broad as well. I go from the likes of Pendulum to Morcheeba! We may disagree on Taylor but we both bloody love Pendulum 🔥🔥
"I LITERALLY NEVER THINK ANYBODYS A SEXY BABY"
I love this guy
Rob voice is one of the most iconic male voices and surely the voice of EDM. Unexpected yet incredible, Pendulum can turn anything into a banger
If you haven't heard it look up the ABC theme tune remix they did its hilariously good😂
@@jono6379the abc theme remix goes absolutely prehistoric
it's autotuned out the ass the whole song you cant even hear his voice
Exactly!!!
“The voice of EDM” what?
0:33
Even Rob looked surprised over his impeccable vocal range
Legend
effect just fried his ears lmao
Pendulum going from strength to strength.
Common Pendulum W
😂🎉🎉😢😢
From average to nothing.
Why, oh why are Pendulum not bigger than what they are? They should be classed as one of the best bands in the world. They are just magnificent.
They're pretty bloody massive in the UK!
Its sad they kinda died off in Australia, I think they said at their show in Perth that's just gone, when they left for the UK they did one final show in Perth and only 7 people showed up, same things happened with similar bands like The Presets as well I feel
@@heckin_dinosaw whatt that sucks a lot :(
They were huge and on the verge of becoming a massive arena band and then they went on hiatus. Rob fell out of love with the game because of all the outside bullshit. When they came back the world had changed a lot.
@@sidgeaberration I believe that was after they left Aus tho, at the live Perth show they just did, Rob talked about the last time they were in Perth only 7 people showed up, so they had pretty much died out in Aus which was why they left for the UK
Pendulum are so goddamn good, please release another album!!!
New ep comes out November 3rd
@@heckin_dinosawit’s such a tease though, I want a full album damn it 😅
@@THL_Jontae yeah, sadly I don't think we're gonna get a full album any time soon, it's better for them to release songs slowly with the way most algorithms work on streaming services now
@@kushagra3946thank you you get exactly what I’m saying 👊😁
They won't for a while, it's more lucrative for them to release EPs
This is probably the best cover triple j has ever had.
Best cover since Denzel Curry of Rage Against the Machine
Karnivool's cover of London grammar from years ago now is another dope one!
not even close
Northeast party house cover of Violent sohos Covered in Chrome
sad to see the wiggles elephant cover does not get any recognition
Massive Swiftie since 2008, but I've been a Pendulum fan even longer. This cover is insane.
Insane how well this song fits Rob’s range. Hard to believe there’s a song that wouldn’t sound great with him on it but I’d love to see 2010 Rob’s reaction if you told him 13 years later he’d be covering Taylor Swift 😂
Haha for real
Why ? :D
No one would have known who Taylor swift was back then, and the world was a better place for it 🤣🤣
Oh god, same here.. 😂😂😂 2010 Rob was so different. I hope he's happier now for real for real. He doesn't realize how bright of a beacon he is in this dark world for some of us 😅
@@Cammo199that’s not true lmao. Taylor Swift was massive pre 2010 too
Woke up on a rainy Friday bopping to a Pendulum/Taylor Swift mashup I never knew I needed 😎🔥
This needs to be on the setlist! I would have died dead hearing this live.
Ikr
Would have been fun... But you know what would have been more fun... The island part 2 coming after part 1... I...I..I'm still waiting for it 😭
@@alexmiesch4423 But it's already out?
@@FROSKI_Music haha, I meant at the recent live show. They played the island part 1 but didn't go into part 2. I was devastated 😆
@@alexmiesch4423 aye I realised that after I wrote my comment haha I think Part 2 is made more for the DJ sets than the live show so it makes sense for it to be absent unfortunately
I need this on Spotify
Yes it is
Holy crap!!!! This is Pendulum!?! As in the drum and bass guys that remixed the ABC News theme a few years back?! Faaark....
yes!
dude has a great voice
finally a like a version thats not trying to make me cry more artists need to realise a lot of people have enough sadness to last a life time give me some dog damm fist pumping head banging music to not make me feel bummed fuck yes pendulum fuck yes
Yesssssss. Feel like im 14 again dancing to hold your colour at camden underworld!
There is NOTHING to not love in this cover. Absolutely superb. Hats off to every player of Pendulum. They've lifted this track into legend.
Rob Swire can literally sing anything and make it sound fucking amazing! This man doesn't fucking age either!!
There’s something about robs voice that has so much emotion in it, even if it’s this cover. Fucking excellent cover.
I keep coming back to this. Man it's brilliant.
10 years of listening to their sound, Pendulum are the first live band ever that made me fall in love with music!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This NEEDS a studio version. Rob's voice fits so well with anything.
Dude. That is a studio version.
No disrespect to either Pendulum or Triple J, but it's a glorified music video, and *blatantly* not a live performance.
The most obvious thing is how many times the audio and video are completely out of sync (e.g. what you can see the musicians playing vs. what you can hear have literally nothing in common).
The second is the production quality, plus mixing & mastering. Even if this was a take directly off the sound board, this is way, way too clean.
On the upside - a studio version exists, and it's just a matter of whether anyone (Triple J, most probably) releases it.
@@srsbsns7673 So Rob Swire is one of the most respected Producers / Sound Engineers in the industry and the live production quality is always this good because he doesn't tolerate less. He always has a backing track on his vocals to create the "full" sound and KJ Sawka, the drummer, has a hybrid drum kit that also triggers some ( not all ) of the electronic elements / drum parts that would require more than 2 hands. Perry ( guitar ) and Gaz ( Base ) are playing their parts live. There is 100% another guitar part or synth they are not playing. For a 1 off, they did a pretty damn good job as the band here but this is definitely a live recording that had the camera work edited in post.
@@pbatt705 I know perfectly well how respected Rob Swire is.
They also do sound really good live in general because of how much care and attention to detail they put into their shows.
This reminds me much more of typical CZcams music, however, which is defined by pre-recording the audio and then miming to it live. I don't doubt that they're playing live in the room, but I really don't think that's what we're hearing. I will happily grant we **could** be hearing actual live instrument/mic feeds, but I am very doubtful (which is okay, the end result sounds absolutely brilliant regardless).
I can keep going on with the things that stick out.
The cymbals don't sound right based on the mic placements (I know the rest of the drum kit is electronic and triggering samples). There are whole sections (e.g. starting around 0:46) where there is cymbal work that KJ is clearly not playing live, but is mixed exactly like the rest of the drums rather than clearly being an additional backing track.
There is heavier-than-live pitch correction on Rob's vocal track, and sounds exactly like how he handles vocals on a typical album track and not how he sings live (which is still effects-heavy with pitch correction, but he takes more liberties with notes). Rob's singing volume vs. mic distance is generally consistent but there are some hiccups that would be difficult to explain without a very high level of compression that would be hard to square with the level of audible dynamics.
The guitar and bass parts have absolutely zero tempo hiccups, missed notes, or lack of synchronization with the backing tracks. As good as Perry and Gaz are, they're not that robotic.
This isn't to knock Rob or Pendulum at all. They're one of my favorite bands of all time, and this is an incredibly well-done cover (and, to me, considerably better than the original). But it doesn't sound like them live. In the defense of the video, nothing ever says that it is live.
@@srsbsns7673let me explain. This is basically a live recoeded video that rob mixed and produced properly after it was recorded. Then it got posted after all the production work was done. Basically this is not mimed or played back
@@srsbsns7673 It's should be blatantly obvious to any musician, producer, or mixing engineer that you're 100% right, but some people still feel the need to indulge in copium and argue with the facts I guess
God damn they put their entire Pendulussy into this
😂
not the pendulussy! Lmao
Pendulussy 😭
love me some pendulussy
Pendulussy is crazy😭
Rob looking more and more like Trent Reznor every time … Big energy here
Please, release this as a single! It’s so freaking good 💎🔥
I keep watching this again for the drummer. Really interesting variety in his parts.
I'd never thought I'd see a Drum and Bass, Electronic Rock cover of a Taylor Swift song. And I'd actually like it. Will we get a official release?
Edit: Yooo. We got a official release
Probably on the Spotify account of triple j
Yeah but not from Pendulum. Triple J update their apple music and Spotify like a version playlists when new releases come. They'll eventually sell this on a like a version album too that can be bought at any media outlet like JBHIFI
You think this Triple J could hook me up with Pendulum's cover of The Catalyst?
There's a cover of Blank Space by I Prevail that you might appreciate
@@mirri.mirri.on.the.wall. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks
Freaking amazing, Rob Swire is one of my favorite singers and producers. Taylor Swift, it's your turn to cover The Tempest!
Man, this goes hard!! Great cover guys!
I love how they can take any song and Pendulum-ize it to make it something wholly unique and their own.
I feel like Rob connects with these lyrics more than he would like to admit! No wonder he sounds so amazing!
My thoughts exactly
Apart from the 'sexy baby' bit, obviously 😀
@@tmb8807 He always feels like a sexy baby hahaha the face he makes when he sings those lyrics lol
This cover was literally insane!! Pendulum really knows how to add their own touch to any song 🤟🔥
This just moved to my number 1 slot in the Hottest 100. Absolutely incredible!
30 seconds in, and I can already tell this is a banger
Please release this on streaming platforms
as once said, "anything that rob touches becomes gold"
i do not know why this showed up in my recs but i am thrilled it did, what in the hell this is insanely good????
I was fortunate enough to see Pendulum live a few weeks ago. Absolute legends, a fantastic show. So I was a little surprised when I saw this pop up on my recommended. I've never paid attention to Taylor Swift's music as a lot of her earlier stuff wasn't really my thing. I'm a metal-head/DnB-head for the most part.
After seeing this cover I felt like I needed to see her version, and have just now spent an hour going through some of her past albums. Wow, she's an incredible song writer. Consider me converted!
She hasn’t written a single one of her songs in her 15 year career lol
She has a team write everything for her it’s pathetic 🤣
@@Cammo199 not a swifty by any means but all it takes is a 3 second Google search to verify how wrong you are, lol
@@Cammo199 What a ridiculous statement. You can dislike her for any number of reasons, but this is just factually false. She's a PROLIFIC songwriter, hailed almost universally as one of the greats.
Absolutely adore that riff
This is a sick cover. Drum and bass for life
I can't stop watching this. Rob's singing is amazing. I think I'm in love 😍
one word. epic.
I have listened to this every day since it came out. I think i am entering my metal phase.
Great vocals and legendary band.
Need this on Spotify
God damn. The Perth anti heroes now the absolute HEROES that was brilliant.
I say this a devout Swiftie since 2006… can we have this on streaming please!
i absolutely hate swifties but yes we need this on spotify ASAPPP
It's on Spotify now!
Oh my goodness you brought light into this grumpy Friday. I wish you create more and more music in style like this! Absolute banger!
Oh Pendulum make a lot of music in this style.
i love this version
Sorry Swifties, this song is Pendulum's now. I don't make the rules.
On behalf of the Swifties... yeah that's fair.
I second that. Water has been turned into wine 👌
Exactly! 🖤
The Swemos are fine with this
If you like this try the Pendulum cover of Linkin Park's The Catalyst
This is the last thing I expected to see in my recommended but very awesome!
So good to still see Pendulum smashing out amazing tunes.
that was incredible. Never heard of this group so I will listen to their music now.
They've got quite a number of Albums with a good a range of drum and bass styles
Water color is amaaaazing
@@jr.c.4250I second this, Watercolour is insanely good
What!?! Where have you been the last 20 years!?
Well... on a positive spin, welcome to the fucking world of pendulum! They're sick!
Bruh
2:09 "I literally never feel like anyones a sexy baby" GG Rob 🤣
never thought ill be vibing so hard to a taylor swift song , pendulums got it all !!!!
Thank you for releassing on the Spotify!!!!
Pendulum are masters of covering songs and making them their own 🔥
This is so good... can't stop listening. Happens all the time hearing a fresh Pendulum track
got a Rammstein Feuer Frei vibe + DnB + Emo Punk so cool!
very heartwarming that pendulum is back and dishing out epic stuff, still cant believe that these legends are back
Holy shit that bass tone is brutal.
I love the idea that Pendulum fans tuned in to this and got exactly what they expected, and Taylor Swift fans tuned in to this and got their fucking minds blown!
What about those of us who don't keep to just one box of music and like both Taylor Swift and Pendulum?
@@jgrayson839You tell me. What was it like experiencing the cross-over?
I'll be happy if this makes it anywhere in the Hottest 100
Rob Swire killing it on vocals as always 🤯
Making a song I wouldn't listen to at all something I'd want to listen to everyday
Insane! 🤯 Please release this as an official single!
Love this, any chances for Spotify?
Comes out on Spotify today!
@@ragingstorm79Perfect, thank you! 🎉
Wow such an amazing cover!! Love pendulum since I was a wee lad (still have all their cd’s!) and this was nothing short of amazeballs.
Pendulum makes everything better, they're the ++
Pendulum just making things better than they already were as they do
We are now in Taylor's Pendulum era
I can’t believe the dropped the last verse. It’s perfect for this
Pendulum is amazing
Best cover of a Taylor song to date
MAGNIFICENT!!!
Well this came out of nowhere! But I'm all here for it 🔥🔥
So happy to see these guys back out there!! Keep it coming legends
Rob's vocals are something!!!! I really enjoy his vocals!!! Rob is the best!!!
If you think about it, Rob's voice is multi platinum.
Indeed, his background vocals in Rihanna's Rude Boy went quintuple platinum lol
"I literally never feel like anyone's a sexy baby" ya know what this part is definitely an improvement
Great cover... sounds awesome!
Bloody hell. Totally unexpected....Awesome Cover man! My girls love Dnb and Taylor. They will love this!
Me and my teenagers set our alarms to listen to jjj early this morning. We took them to their firstPendulum concert last Thurs in Brissy.... they are converted dnb bunnies now!!
pendulum are iconic
Love the cover!
Incredible. Please release this song as a single!
Wow. What a fantastic cover!
Rob Swire has to be top 5 singers of our time...
vocals are so good
this slaps
PLEASE release this as a single, or even alongside other covers such as master of puppets, or even better........do an album of covers pendulum style!!
It's been released as a single!
@@TheEnviious SWEET!!!
The crossover I never knew I needed in my life
