KISS - Sonic Boom 10-6 2009! only @ Walmart and Sam's Club!

[The Monster]

KISS and Walmart announced today that SONIC BOOM-the band's highly anticipated CD, and its first new material in 11 years-will be sold in the U.S. and Canada exclusively at Walmart, Walmart.com and Sam's Club retail locations beginning October 6. SONIC BOOM, produced by the band's Paul Stanley in Los Angeles, is the centerpiece of a three-disc set that also features a completely re-recorded greatest hits CD as well as a live DVD shot in Argentina during the band's recent, record-breaking KISS ALIVE 35 South American tour. The CD set will retail for $12, with pre-orders starting in September on Walmart.com.

KISS' Gene Simmons says, "SONIC BOOM may be the best new record we've done since Destroyer! It is Rock And Roll Over meets Love Gun. The world's biggest retailer had better get ready for the hottest band in the world and hire more cashiers before October 6th!"

Stanley continues, "Through all of the albums that are considered our classics, we tried to always find ways to give our fans extras that went beyond just the music. Besides our making the best KISS album in decades, Walmart has made it possible for us to include a bonus CD with 15 of our most famous songs and an additional live DVD, shot during our recent concert in Buenos Aires. So in every sense, SONIC BOOM is the ultimate return to classic KISS form. You wanted the best, you got the best!"

Walmart, one of America's largest music retailers, is finalizing its exciting plans now for its in-store and online destinations for KISS fans surrounding the launch of the new album and tour, and will host various KISS products in addition to their music in its stores this fall. More details on Walmart KISS activity, announcements regarding album pre-sales, sweepstakes and KISS appearances will be shared shortly.

I have always loved KISS. And I will certainly be checking this new stuff out.

 

[Aerosmith]

I'll be getting it. Glad Paul has had more say over it. He's the better song writer. I hate that I will be forced to buy a CD with same damn songs on it though.

Im more excited for Ace Frehley's solo album "Anomaly" though.

i am interested enough to give them another chance... but also sane enough not to expect their words to match their efforts...

Who cares about the album.
All this means is that Kiss may go on tour again which would be freakin amazing.
Anybody remember Detroit Rock City????

"Shake ya weewee, go on, shake ya wee"

 

[Aerosmith]

They have been touring since the so called Farewell Tour. Which turned out to only be a farwell tour for Peter and Ace.

....
Lol. I went to the 2nd Black Sabbath Original lineup reunion show,
there have been like 10 more since then

 

[automaton]

it is frightening to see the extent rock n roll is marketed... no wonder the industry is suffering.

 

[MorgulTongue]

I will def check it! Cover is reminiscent of Rock-n-Rollover. Lets all hope the music is livin' up to it.

 

[DarthTrafford]

Great, a guy I work with is a huge KISS fan and I'm sure when I see him on Thursday he won't shut up about it.
:chew

If you go to www.kissonline.com you can hear some of "MODERN DAY DELILAH" It sounds great!

 

[Kuzeh]

Never been a KISS fan... for some reason all they did seems fake to me...
but who am I to judge?...

Though partnering with Wall-Mart for a release is shady enough...

 

[Aerosmith]

If you go to www.kissonline.com you can hear some of "MODERN DAY DELILAH" It sounds great!

Why listen to just some of it when you can hear the whole song?

Unfortunately I heard the tour will be a Target and Arby's exclusive.

 

[automaton]

it is so funny how they are promoting it as "Rock n Roll Over meets Love Gun... 2nd only to Destroyer" when in reality it is the same old crap they have been pumping out before they put the make up back on (perhaps with a better rhythm guitar sound). try and sell me some more Pepsi Gene... or Coke (how many bands other than Kiss can endorse Pepsi, Coke, and Dr. Pepper?)... and the exclusive deal with Walmart? Kiss (or should I say Gene and Paul) have taken the "Rock N' Roll" out of the equation.

i read an interview with Gene claiming illegal downloading was killing the music business, but "songs" such as this, and the last 20 years of his product plays a part in it too.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Big KISS fan here...I'll definitely be checking this album out!

 

[Batty]

The song is pretty generic sounding to me.

ROADRUNNER TO RELEASE SONIC BOOM IN EUROPE

KISSONLINE.com KISS announced today that SONIC BOOM-the band's highly anticipated CD, and its first new material in 11 years-will be released in the UK and Europe through Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records on 5th October 2009 . SONIC BOOM, produced by the band's Paul Stanley in Los Angeles, features 11 brand-new KISS anthems from the band that has sold over 80 million albums worldwide in a 35-year recording career.

KISS' Gene Simmons says, "SONIC BOOM may be the best new record we've done since Destroyer! It is Rock And Roll Over meets Love Gun!" Paul Stanley confirms: "SONIC BOOM is the perfect title for what we're creating - it's earthshaking and deafening!"

SONIC BOOM is the first new KISS studio album to feature guitarist Tommy Thayer alongside Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and drummer Eric Singer. It will be available as a single disc and also in a special three-disc set featuring a completely re-recorded greatest hits CD as well as a live DVD shot in Argentina during the band's recent, record-breaking KISS ALIVE 35 South American tour.

Paul Stanley, "Through all of the albums that are considered our classics, we tried to always find ways to give our fans extras that went beyond just the music. Besides our making the best KISS album in decades, including a bonus CD with 15 of our most famous songs and an additional live DVD, shot during our recent concert in Buenos Aires. So in every sense, SONIC BOOM is the ultimate return to classic KISS form. You wanted the best, you got the best!"

SONIC BOOM is released through Roadrunner Records imprint Loud & Proud, whose President Tom Lipsky comments: "Great artists make great music and KISS has certainly accomplished that with SONIC BOOM." Adds Wally van Middendorp, Sr VP International of Roadrunner Records: "We are excited to have the world's premier rock band join forces with the world's premier rock label. SONIC BOOM is a brilliant album that will surely be recognized as one of best musical works in the history of KISS." As Paul Stanley concludes: "Success comes from a winning team, and Roadrunner is the perfect partner for KISS in terms of understanding what this album is and also having a great track record of success."

its a shame that after such a rich, inspired career, Gene and Paul have to resort to becoming car salesmen to promote their latest offering.
