  • can all u guys just shut the fuck up about tommy and eric. man, they have contributed to the band so much, and are as much of a part of the KISS family as ace and peter. so what, they are not the original members, but Eric was with em 91-96 and on and off during the farewell tour. and tommy has been with kiss doin behind the scenes shit since like 1990 i think. who do u think helped ace relearn all his solos for the reunion? Thats right. Tommy.

  • @AmericanPowerBase Thanks!!;''

    

  • Im going to meet them on the KISS Kruise in 2 weeks!!!! SO PSYCHED!!!!

  • wheres the 2nd half

    

  • This album is classic Kiss! I learned every song on guitar and trust me!Lots of different 70's changes and patterns in every song maybe up to Creatures style

  • KIss played in Dublin a few months back to a sold out crowd of 12,000 people in an indoor arena. Brought the house down. Tommy is seen as the outsider, not Eric. For some reason people won't warm to his personality. He's a brilliant musican though.

  • Tommy has no confidence. He knows that he's in someone else's shoes. Literally.

  • i cant find part 2?

  • @Chrisdrumz You have a point there....I go back and forth with that myself.

  • Not crazy about Russian Roulette

  • Sonic Boom is a badass rock album, and KISS is a great band....new lineup, old lineup...whatever. Tommy and Eric belong....all the haters can get over it!

  • @Ryan52501 Sure they belong. They just shouldn't be wearing Ace and Peters makeup and personas.

  • great ! they just did it.what we ever wanted.

    and kiss do the best thing. that ever had u know. nothing gonna be change ! kick ass !

  • @Vinnie7683 yes i agree TOMMY THAYER is best we love him in finland

  • @Vinnie7683 not mark st john

  • TOMMY IS SO FUCKIN AWSOME!!

  • I wonder if Paul likes reminding people that Gene can get unfocused at times.

  • I became a kiss fan around May or June of 2006. I live in Oregon and I had no money to go out of state to see them. I had to wait for them to come to Oregon. Then, on November 17th , 2009 they came and I went and I got to say that these youtube videos don't do them justice. It was the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life. By not doing them justice I mean the sound quaility. The first time the pyro went off I nearly crapped myself it was so loud. Kiss I love you.

  • @jkrantz23 tommys home state

  • I don't really care who the line up is past or present. KISS kicked ass then and they kick ass now. Nothing can change that. Ever.

  • Tommy looks so fucking awesome in that makeup. And in my opinion, Sonic Boom is a masterpeice

  • @lagore2009 i think its one of there best cds ever

  • Mediocre to say the least !!

  • @wickedmoonshine Ace hasn't been in KISS since 2002 the farewell tour he hasn't played on a KISS album since Psycho Circus dumbass

  • I like the way ace played on sonic boom

  • @wickedmoonshine HAHAHAHA xDDDD

  • @wickedmoonshine nice try....but thats tommy thayer.

  • I think Tommy is an awesome guitarist and a good guy. Of course we miss Ace, but I think if anyone had to replace him, I'm glad it was Tommy.

  • I have been and still am a KISS fan...But I didnt care for Sonic Boom.....a cpl good songs but thats it.....they are now the worlds greatest KISS tribute band..they have two of the original members in it.....

  • @GRAPHICgrafix

    Dude, we can't always get what we want. All bands go through phases of losing original bandmates...why is KISS any different? They're my favs...no matter who's in the band. KISS ARMY 4 LIFE!!

  • @bigevil20 ...hey DUDE im glad you still get all warm and fuzzy for the newest version of KISS..sorry but I dont...like I said a few good new songs..but give my Got to Choose,Rock Bottom and Hotter Than Hell any day of the week

  • @GRAPHICgrafix

    Hey, I'm right there with you, on that part. I wish they would play their back catalog of songs more, kinda like what they did on the original Alive/35 tour. They could expand so much from that...

  • @bigevil20 I dont think the problem is that tommy is a new guitar player in kiss I think its more they make him an ace clone!!!!!!

  • @lovegungoodfun

    I know, but there isn't much we can do about it. We can bitch and moan about it all we want, but nothing will change.

    In reality though, at this stage of their careers, would it really make sense for KISS to have Tommy and Eric in some other makeup/costume that we're all used to?

  • @bigevil20 well to tell you the truth it would lol in the early 80s they had there own make up the first time Peter and Ace left and it makes sense because they are not the same people people that are not fans dont care and people who are would rather see diff make up .. any how they lost me and I loved them !!!! just to child like or fake now

  • @lovegungoodfun

    I understand where you're coming from, believe me. But this isn't the 80's anymore. It's 2011 and KISS is, unfortunately, in the twilight of their careers. To me, it would make absolutely zero sense to have Tommy and Eric in some other costume and makeup. Maybe back when Eric and Tommy first joined, yes, but now? No, not at all.

  • @lovegungoodfun

    I see your point, but I just don't see it that way, lol. This is 2011, not 1980, and while they could do that, if they really wanted...they never will. It's a nostalgia thing, in my opinion. We're used to calling them Spaceman, Catman, Starchild and Demon, not anything else, since what, 1983, when they took off the makeup? Maybe even 1996, when the "fab 4" reunited? Either or, lol.

  • HES AN IMPOSTER!!!!!!!

  • @TheMJTV It's Tommy Thayer dude. Get your game up. Ace hasn't been in KISS since Psycho Circus.

  • it's not ace OMFG

  • Wow is he ever annoying to listen to! Paul looks like he's thinking "who does this asshole think he is, ACE?" hahaha. Sorry to the thayer fans but he's a cheap copy of the real man...and he's far too articulate to be in rock n roll.

  • How do they write songs that fast??? it takes me weeks to write one song half as good.

  • I get the feeling that Paul Stanley is missing Ace - the original spaceman - during this interview

  • Paul Stanley and Ace are so cute <3 *sigh* my to favorite people

  • @MsShinana It's not Ace. It's an imposter.

  • @oioirock then who is it it looks just like him

  • @MsShinana His name is Tommy Thayer. Ace left back in 2002 due to Gene and Paul being greedy control freaks with an arrogant attitude who treated himself and Peter like shit. Peter was dumped two years later, and now the $immons $tanley Corporation continues with two fakes. It's no wonder so many people are fooled by it, you're not the only one. This clown Thayer is paid to mimic Ace's playing style and onstage he even walks like him. I won't spend another cent on this band, that's a promise.

  • @oioirock Tommy Thayer Is Not A Clown...Ace Is The Clown...

  • @oioirock Question: would u still do the same if it was Vinnie Vincent and Eric Carr up there?

  • @SuperJewTV1 No, Vinnie and Eric were their own men. They played their own, natural style and they were never cheap imitations of anybody. Although my favourite Kiss line-up is the originals (of course), I still have a lot of respect for the various 80s line ups and even Eric Singer up until the point he became a fake. I can't stand the Kiss of today, it's an absolute travesty. The shameless greed of $tanley and $immons has utterly destroyed the legend. What a pathetic way to end their career.

  • @oioirock dude, look at the interviews. They wanted to retain the classic look of KISS and not go out and create even more characters. and Paul is just the leader of the band, Gene is the more greedy one.

  • @oioirock it was gene who is at fault for that man eric,tommy were happy being themself's but gene wanted to give us the old kiss imagine back so in his thinking he thought the fan's would like tommy & eric wearing peter's & ace's makeup to pay homage to them "ace & peter" & try to retain the original look of kiss.They didn't want to disgrace them bro & they were inspired by them to even play music so it make's since they'd want to pay their respect's but as for paul he like

  • often doe's went along with it because he probably thought the fan's would love kiss going back to the original look.He also is tired of gene's shit but still is focus to keep the band together & if you go back in time it was always gene's bs that drove ace away but that wasm't the biggest reason bro & the biggest reason is family man imagine being away from your kid's & wife for over a year imagine that would you get depressed among other thing's bro.Again paul is a good man he's just trying

  • @oioirock his best to keep kiss alive & well if i ever meet him i'm going to tell him or them we don't want tommy & eric pretending to be ace or peter's character but create their own character as that was the original thought behind kiss one of many btw whihc was to be themself's & i need to remind them of that.Paul is doing his best but he need's help & gene's lost man he's become a victim of the wealth that came with the music.I hope they open their eye's soon.

  • Great Album By New KISS. I love the old original KISS but am glad they can continue and make new music.

    They Hit the lottery in 1996 and are just cashing the check.....Again & Again & Again & Again & Again....

  • saw them live 2 days ago, they rocked the house down! If you don't go see them, you are going to regret it !!!

  • @IrishDaddi i regret it i live in holland and they came here (maybe the last time) and i didnt go

  • So is there a PART 2 avaiable anywhere?

  • i bet it's awkward for tommy thayer. i'd love to be ace frehley, but i'd feel stupid if i were in KISS stepping in the spaceman's silver boots... i bet always being Ace Frehley messes with tommy thayer's head. he seems like a nice guy. nerdy but nice

  • @freedo333 tommy cant even play as good as space ace eric singer also cant play as good as peter criss it sucks without them both in the band the new members suck

  • @anticashmoneyrecords thats funny man eric is the best drummer kiss has had since carr and tommy is deff better than ace.

  • @anticashmoneyrecords tommy can play and eric is a great drummer and their sober when playing

  • eventful.com/competitions/kiss­2010 go on this site and vote for love blast

  • Kiss forever!

  • Kiss interviews are always cool.... when there's no Gene in it... talking about malls and other stupid shit.

  • fukin love thommy ! (y)

  • @ClassicRockfan79 ROFLMAO! 22 YEARS!!?? your a new fan huh? I bought the first album the month it was released and wore ALL of them out. sonic is awesome! I say its their "fourth" album..... you young guys give us old fans energy! luv ya man! no matter which one you like best YOUR STILL IN THE ARMY! Brother!! and you know Paul! YOU ROCK!!

  • @sirflipper 22 years, my first kiss album was smashes thrashes and hits, turned me on to the older stuff from the 70s. i would have been a fan back in the 70s but i was born in 1979, so i missed it lol, but there are other kiss albums i did not like. i think the Elder was really ok. i met Paul but sure if i saw him now he would have no fucking clue who i am. also i was in front on the farewell tour in 2000, Ace tossed me a towel he used on his face, and i caught Genes empty water bottle

  • Tommy Thayer seems to be a genuinely nice guy, he is always smiling

  • Come on,,,How can you go watch KISS live and not realize how bad Ace just sucks? You do that many drugs in your lifetime and of course your physical abilities are gonna' fall off. Tommy had to re-teach Ace HIS OWN licks before the KISS reunion tour. Ace isn't even in Tommy Thayer's ballpark.

  • @jiggz35 you know what shut the fuck up tommy cant even beat ace if he tried

  • @FreightlinerTrukinCl Shut me up punk ass...lol..I've seen them 4 times with Ace, and 2 with Tommy. Tommy SMOKES Ace pal.

  • none of the songs really stand out. can hardly compare with past kiss efforts. but compared to god smack and as i lay dying and all these shit bands they rule! still good rock and roll.

  • What? Who is that trying to be Ace? Epic fail.

  • Comment removed

  • creci con kiss y los respeto pero esto creo q ya estan cansados y mas sustitullendo a mr ace and peter eso es malo

  • He's not spaceman, he will never be the spaceman, he will always be The gayman

  • wow... you're really fucking stupid...

  • Get a haircut and a girlfriend, fag.

  • @austinallison grade A TWAT

  • Love these KISS "fans" who dont even know who is Paul Frehley and who is Tommy Thayer.

  • What's wrong with Ace's voice? Sounds like he has a really sore throat.

  • @KirneH004 - That's not Ace. That's Tommy Thayer, who replaced Ace about 2002.

  • I have Sonic Boom a long time and its a great album!

  • Euhh... that was not Ace dude!

  • Comment removed

  • its tommy thayer its not ace look it up

  • thats because its not ace

  • That's not Frehley

  • i completly agree with oioirock. fucking travisty.

  • do you think tommy thayer likes wearing aces makeup like phoney poser fuck. or does he get so much money he just don't give a shit.

  • Stanley, what the FUCK would you know about team work and camaraderie?!!! You treated Ace and Peter like second class citizens in a band they founded, and arrogantly dismissed their rights to be treated as equals. And now you persist with this charade, this fucking joke. You're dragging Kiss down into the gutter. You and $immons are an embarrassment and a disgrace to the Kiss legend.

    The ride for me is well and truly over. Farewell.

  • kiss sucks without ace

  • @mikimix96 How on earth does KISS suck... just because Ace Frehley is not in it doesn't mean that they suck... they still make great music and they can't exactly force Ace to come back because he just wont, would you rather KISS just break up, don't make any music again and start working at Walmart... if you do then to be honest, your kind of pathetic.

  • @RockVideoRequests just listen their new album it sound like some retarded modern band not like best hard rock band ever formed in new york 40 years ago and revenge thats not kiss...

  • @mikimix96 Bands have to change, it's kind of obvious, if KISS made another album that sounded like Dressed to Kill it wouldn't be very popular, it would with KISS fans but not with everyone else because 70s rock n roll isn't popular any more... in the 90s they did Carnival of Souls because in the 90s people liked Grunge, they did Sonic Boom because that is the sort of stuff people like now, to me and to lots of other people it sounds like 70s 80s and 90s KISS just with a twist.

  • Not 2 be a dick, but those are not Gene, Paul's "real" names, if by real you mean their given birth names. I grew up w/t Kiss, and wht a great time tht was 2 be young!! Great showman.

  • a long as gene and paul are there i will keep rockin to their songs

  • cannot believe you idiots are actually watching KISS on here, if you aint a fan..get tae fu*k!! from glasgow kiss army....wear your hair to that

  • yo thats bullshit,..theres only ONE ACE,.

  • Kiss using hair pieces !! LOL !! Simmons and Stanley ... Real music , real vocals more especially ... real hair !

  • Holy shit. Their Names Are Paul Stanely (lead singer), Gene Simmons (bass), Tommy Thayer (lead guitar), and Eric Singer (drums). And dont reply saying NO beacuse those are their REAL NAMES!

  • @smokey1726

    You're wrong.

    Their real names are:

    Chaim Witz (Gene Simmons)

    Stanley Harvey Eisen (Paul Stanley)

    Eric Doyle Mensinger (Eric Singer)

    Couldn't find Tommy Thayer's real name, but I suppose it's Thomas Thayer.

    Even Ace and Peter don't use their real names!

    Ace is Paul Daniel Frehley

    Peter is Peter George John Criscuola

  • "never enough" have the same vibe as "nothing but a good time" by posion, even the volculs sound the same

  • sounds more like Rock n Roll All Nite.

  • great album Cant wait to see them live in Dublin in May

  • great album Cant wait till May till I see KISS live for 1st time

  • brilliant album Cant wait to see them live in May for 1st time

  • Kind of rock and rollie ?  I dont know if I ever heard that one before

  • You gotta love Gene and Paul's Wigs.

    This is the new Era of Kiss, rip the Fans off even more. Take the make up off fellas and then have Tommy and Eric playing, no drama

  • They've only been wearing wigs for 25 yrs now.

  • Paul used his real hair on his solo effort tour. He has plenty of hair.

  • You mean hair transplant. Wigs with Kiss.

  • At least Mr. Paul Stanley can afford hair transplants, but when you get old will you be able to afford it or will you remain bold.

  • paul stanley makes me WET

  • Tommy looks just fine. I love Tommy.

  • Ace looks like Joe Perry with make up on???????

  • It's not ACE !!! Lol, it's Tommy Thayer.

  • Track 7-11 is perfekt!!

  • IMHO if you dont like sonic boom your not a kiss fan, this is classic back to basics KISS! their best work in decades!! in my heart KISS IS BACK!!!

  • @sirflipper really, ive been a kiss fan for over 22 years, met Paul Stanley, i have a big collection of kiss items autographs old records, almost every product they put their name on between 1975- 1996, and i ll be the first to tell you, Sonic Boom is terrible, its a long way from being a good kiss album. one good song, rest of it is shit. if you think its classic kiss you need to listen to the 70s albums really hard lol

  • @ClassicRockfan79 ROFLMAO! 22 YEARS!!?? your a new fan huh? I bought the first album the month it was released and wore ALL of them out. sonic is awesome! I say its their "fourth" album..... you young guys give us old fans energy! luv ya man! no matter which one you like best YOUR STILL IN THE ARMY! Brother!! and you know Paul! YOU ROCK!!

  • @sirflipper most definitely

  • I guess I'm still a little taken back by Peter and Ace's makeup on somebody besides them. To me it seems bordering on deceptive. The album seems very solid sounding in comparison to Psycho Circus but i think the effort is a day late and a dollar short. i think the better part was to end with the farewell tour and on a high note. By coming back again and again, it seems the whole farewell tour was staged to sell more seats and again it seems deceptive. It's hard to believe their sincerity.

  • @mabutterman Well. Peter and Ace can't keep it together, so Kiss goes on without them. Now I only like the 70's Kiss. But the reason they keep comin' back is because the fans won't let them go away, so I don't think it's deceptive of them. Look at Skynyrd-Every original member is either dead or not in the group anymore. They've become their own tribute band for Chrissakes. I think their roadies are playing for them now in an attempt to keep it somewhat close to the original lineup.  LOL

  • I am not a big for of ''Sonic Boom'' to be honest. The lyrics are not just symplistic they are just annoyingly dumb. It is almost as if Paul and Gene never finished elementary school. I'd hoped they made something more interesting after 10 years. This is just TO commercial.

  • If you purchase the album the more you listen -the better it sounds,I bought this cd on the day it came out,and it is really growing on me,really sounds like classic Kiss,and hey KissArmy,it's not a greatest hits package or alive 35!It is brand new classic Kiss! Go fckn buy it!!!

  • kiss are finally back! sonic boom rules!

  • Well, I got Ace's "Anomaly" and I actually like the album very much! I must say, that it sounds modern. Even there are some older songs ("Sister" and "Fox on the run", The Sweet) on it.

    So, two great albums from two great artists, what do we Kiss Fans want more ? :-)

  • Track 2-5 are great.

  • Been a HUGE fan since 1977. BUT....on Sonic Boom some of Gene's lyrics are lines right out of old KISS songs, or the Rock'n Roll lyrics cliche handbook. Examples.....

    Well, if it's too hot, you're too cold

    If it's too loud, you're too old

    Baby, feel my tower of power

    Can you feel the earth quake underneath your feet

    Stand up, raise your first up in the air

    Out of the frying pan, into the fire

    You're drawn to the flame

    your hands are tied

  • i agree with you but maybe they're trying to reach younger fans that didn't hear it the first time around like we did -

  • You feel the hunger,But it's much too much

    You can look, baby, but you just can't touch

    One pull of the trigger is all you're gonna get, The deck is loaded

    I'm gonna strike while the iron's hot tonight

    Here comes your knight in shining armor

    Baby, it's time you take off your clothes?

    Flip a coin, is it heads or tails tonight

    If I'm going down in flames

    Baby, I'm going down in style

  • Hi MetalHeart8787, I guess you are referring to andycasy, not me. Anyway, I personnally love stuff from "the Elder". and they stuff that came thereafter. I didn't listen to Ace's new album yet. And I don't compare. Ace does his stuff, and the actual Kiss line up theirs. Best of both worlds, isn't it ?

  • ..ups.. I meant Van Halen - FAN, too... :-)

  • Hi Ludwigman5150 (you're a Van Halen,too he?

    :-) It's not about putting Kiss down. I like the new album, but with all the hype over it, I am a little bit disapointed, because the actual Kiss line up has, for my part, NOT delivered the best, but a good album. Tommy is unfortunately trying too much to copy Ace, but besides that, there are some good tunes on the album. And: me too, I STILL LOVE KISS !

  • is the new kiss album available on itunes?

  • I LIKE the new Kiss CD...atleast we have new Kiss music. For those who have to put it down or Kiss, why? If you don't like it, don't buy it or don't go see them live. They're doing great, I love it!

  • Been a fan sice 76. The new kiss sucks ass!

    Give It up Gene and Paul!

  • so? i bet you said that in 79-81 Look at the stuff they did after that, alot of great songs They didnt listen to dumbasses who said

    "give it up" I like sonic Boom alot better than

    Aces new one.

  • Well, I bought the album 2 days ago. It's...ok, but ok, with musicians like Steve Vai, Bands like Slipnot or others these days... what are Kiss trying to do ? Musically, the album is ok, but it sounds to me like a - sorry- another Paul Stanley album. It comes closer to the first solo record of Paul than his last, and "Sonic Boom" is - seen by the diversity of the tracks themselves - far away from "Psycho Circus" or even "Revenge"

  • Eu Amo o Fenomeno chamado Kiss I Wanna Rock, Sonic Boom, finalmente um novo album em studio boa, mais bem que Erick e Tommy cria-se suas próprias maquiagens ,ja que Space Ace Frehley e The Catman Peter Criss , nunca mais voltou, mais o que mais impórta é que a banda continue tocando e gravando albuns! XD

  • first of all Gene and Paul killed the spirit of Kiss. Pauls ego is really getting worse than Genes'. Tommy and Eric are puppets This album is not like classic Kiss.. Wal-Mart is really pushing this album hard, i saw kiss m&ms, kiss blankets, kiss mr. potato heads it was cheesy but cool.

  • This album is horrendous it is really bad... these guys are out of touch

  • Paul needs a facelift. His eye sockets are melting down into his face, and the makeup only worsens the effect.

  • I LOVE KISS

  • I LOVE KISS

  • Tommy sounds intelligent and that is good but I miss Ace in the band.

  • Look at Stanley while Thayer is talking. Its almost like, Who the hell are you? Oh yeah, you're the scab I hired. Stanley looks tired and bored with him too.

  • Tommy deserves it though, he interrupted his employer twice. I loved how Tommy made it all sound like Gene and Paul wrote the album while he knew all the riffs were his :)

  • that's just the way his face look's when he's not smiling.

  • Is it just me or is Paul Stanley talking like Michael Jackson?

    I am noticing the unease between Ace and Paul in this video, "Ace" knows he's a hired hand and can't wait to be a good lapdog to his masters.

    Time to retire already!

  • You sound like an angry ex-kiss fan. considering the ignorant choice of words you use.

  • btw, it aint ace...

  • Thats Tommy Thayer dressed as Ace.....terrible!
