1132.0. "Nixons, The" by SCOMAN::KLO (DARK IS THE NIGHT,COLD IS THE GROUND) Sat Mar 02 1996 12:03

    I don't know if there is a Nixon file in here but this
    morning on my way to work I heard a song by them title Sister, it
    was a awsome! song.Anyone has their cd, how was all the songs?
    I gonna pick up their tape sometime this week. Excuse me if there is
    already a file here and not sure how to spell their name either.

    I think you mean the Nixons, and they're from Dallas I believe.  8)
    
    Sister is a cool song...don't have the CD so I can't comment on the
    rest of their stuff.  I have a couple of friends who are big fans of
    theirs, they have a pretty cool following down here...
1132.2Nixons?!?BSS::E_WALKERTHE STALKERMon Mar 04 1996 15:087
         First of all, the Nixons are a feeble excuse for a band and that
    song "Sister" is boring and lame. The first song released off their cd,
    "Head", was marginally decent. They sound just like everyone else these
    days - sort of like a weak Pearl Jam rip-off. If you are going to start
    an entire conference about such a dull topic, you should at least learn
    how to spell. Your sentences are all screwed up. Have you ever tried
    English 101? Can you even read this? What's wrong with you?

    good point ed.

    Kham is oriental...leave him alone!  
    
    Hint, this is the Nixon(s) TOPIC within the Heavy_Metal CONFERENCE.

         Sorry, Kham, I thought you were just another ignorant American.

    He is an American, you idiot.

    	It's pretty tough to learn the English language when you have a
    	"foreign" language as your primary means of communication.  At
    	least the main idea was there, and it was conveyed fairly under-
    	standably for us to interpret it correctly.
    
    	But anyways, what's the deal with all these Pearl Jam wannabes?
    	Isn't 1 Pearl Jam enough?  No Pearl Jams would be enough for me.
    
    	I guess I'd have to hear them to make a valued judgment, but if
    	what I read here is true then it sounds like a waste of time.
    
1132.8BSS::SMITH_Sthe rude dudeMon Mar 04 1996 15:304
    I think Ed was "slamming" his grammer rather than his ethnicity. Let's
    try to keep race and ethnical as well as other valuing differences in
    their appropriate conferences.

1132.9Once more from the topBSS::E_WALKERTHE STALKERMon Mar 04 1996 18:406
         Okay, okay, let's try this again. The point I was trying to make
    is that the Nixons have the generic sound similar to Bush, STP, and
    about a million other bands out there right now. The punk/grunge scene
    is stagnating. It's time for something new. I heard a rumor that
    Pantera is coming out with a new cd sometime in the near future. Anyone
    else heard anything about this?
1132.10SCASS1::BARBER_ASmelly cat, it's not your faultMon Mar 04 1996 18:441
    Take it to the Pantera topic...
1132.11?BSS::E_WALKERTHE STALKERMon Mar 04 1996 21:182
         Uh, oh, someone has an attitude. One day you're inviting me to
    your house, the next you are cursing and insulting me. 
1132.12Have a nice dayHOZHED::FENNELLIt's a jelly!Tue Mar 05 1996 08:381
Hardly an attitude - If pril didn't say it I would have.
1132.13BUSY::SLABOUNTYDon't like my p_n? 1-800-328-7448Tue Mar 05 1996 09:1420
    
    	They're right, Ed ... not an attitude, just the way it is.
    
    	DIR/TITLE = PANTERA
    
    	will show you where the Pantera note is, and then you can type
    
    	REPLY
    
    	and put in whatever you want there.
    
    	Almost all the metal bands you can name have a note in here
    	somewhere, and can be found within 1 minute using the above
    	command.  If you don't find a note for the band you're look-
    	ing for, type
    
    	WRITE
    
    	and start a new note.

    The tune "Sister" finally started getting radio play out here (Ottawa)
    around a month ago, I like the tune and don't find it to be PJish 
    (even though I like PJ). Does anyone have the album yet...please tell
    me it gets a wee bit harder too!?!?!?  I haven't heard the "Head" tune
    so I can't compare any further!
    
    Thanks in advance!
