Good thing they never gave up the makeup schtick! Looks like they haven't aged a day!

Kiss has released Sonic Boom this week, its first new studio effort in 11 years and it's poised to sell BIG time!

According to early sales reports, Sonic Boom is expected to sell between 150,000 - 175,000 copies. That's huge for the band who would get their first chart-topping release EVER!

The album is being sold exclusively at Wal-mart and will feature 3 discs — one with all new material, a greatest hits CD and a live DVD from their Kiss Alive 35 South American tour in Argentina.

Kiss member Gene Simmons has proudly proclaimed that it could be "the best new record" they've done since 1976's Destroyer.

Will U be buying the jam-packed Kiss album?

      English is not my first language, but I could swear that "has released … next week" doesn't sound right… BTW, is it just me but the overall quality of this site has plunged dramatically lately? The writing is horrendous and the posts are mostly about old stuff already posted somewhere else. Also, I'm getting really tired of Perez' ranting, bullying and self promo. Frankly, I'm not even sure why I come here at all anymore. Old habit? Perhaps. Time for change, I guess…



    11. 11

      They DID loose the makeup, and lost all their fans because of it!



    12. 12

      Sorry, not into bubblegum pop.



    13. 13

      censoring posts again?



    18. 18

      No, because I don't support that evil empire known as Walmart.



    19. 19

      KISS ROCKED TORONTO
      JUST SAYING



    20. 20

      putting ALL aside, from their image to their ages.. this latest single sounds pretty good! If its at Walmart, then I bet it'll be a pretty cheap record. So yeah - I'll check it out! And, I have heard that they are touring also… and hitting up my town - Erie, PA!

      KISS was better without the makeup, IMO. I've spent my last penny on Gene Simmons' self-promotion.

      That something when KISS is predicted to sell that much and the BSB are predicted to sell only 40 to 45 thousand their first week.

      Kiss is a shitty band with some very good marketing. Honestly, have you ever listened to one of their songs? Blech.



    24. 24

      Why in the world would I want to listen to Rock and Roll All Nite or Detroit Rock City when I could be listening to (and trying to understand) Sliimy?



    25. 25

      No!! Not a KISS fan, at all. In fact, Gene Simmons is obnoxious.



    26. 26

      Too bad the old efftards think they were EVER relevant!

      back in the 70's they were NOT the HOT ROCK BAND they act like they were.

      Instead, only the socialy awkward and immature 'nerds' liked them. Along with the Bay City Rollers! yikes.



    27. 27

      Gene looks like a french poodle. Paul is still hot but no not buying sonic fart thanks.



    28. 28

      RETIRE and go away!!



    29. 29

      You gotta ride it until the wheels fall off. :-) Why are they touring in South America? Because South America still rocks out like in the old days, some of the best guitar players are coming from South America. Not enough interest in the US I suppose.



    30. 30

      sucks!!



    31. 31

      The reason they did that number is because Wal-Mart has bought that many. Not because they sold that many. That's why bands just sell through their stores. It's in the deal that Wal-mart buys a certain number of copies.



    32. 32

      KISS rocks!! you guys are a bunch of haters!!!



    33. 33

      you people have 0 taste in music. britney spears much? gag. kiss rock!

      They actually wrote some new tunes? Great. That's what working musicians ought to be doing. They did have some catchy tunes back in the day. I will root around for net samples. It SHOULD be about the music, first and foremost.
