Positive reception, but I wonder if it's like the AC/DC album. A few spins ("A great return to form!") and then quietly filed away.

That new track, I hate to say it, sounds a little 'lazy' to me. Perhaps I'm expecting too much hoping for a Black Diamond or Strutter MKII

It's the fact that it's stripped down and kinda basic that appeals to me tbh.

Just a pity that Paul can't hit the high notes like he used too...but for a guy pushing 60, he still does damn well

North American tour dates have been announced, which takes them through to the end of this year.

Worldwide dates will follow to fill 2010

MrSpeed · 25-08-2009, 11:37

Gene Simmons is 60 today.

Kiss,AC/DC,Aerosmith,etc...... bands that I loved 30+ years ago and STILL going,even in their 60's! I'd never have believed it back in the day.

Though 60 doesn't sound so old to me now as it did back then

I still listen to the AC/DC Album!

Liking the new single... while pick up the album, but what I want to know, like everyone else, is when they are coming to the UK!

MrSpeed · 25-08-2009, 18:28

Worldwide tour in 2010 apparently

MrSpeed · 27-08-2009, 11:01

Ace Frehley: Anomaly.

Release date Sept 15th.

MrSpeed · 08-09-2009, 14:43

Pics of the new costumes are up online.

No radical changes...they are a mix of the Alive, Destroyer, Love Gun, Creatures costumes.

Bit disappointed tbh, as I was hoping for something totally new

MrSpeed · 10-09-2009, 08:17

People in the USA can listen to the new Ace Frehley album here.

Rest of us have to wait until next week

The new issue of Classic Rock gives Sonic Boom an outstanding review 9/10. Cannot wait for it after reading it

MrSpeed · 11-09-2009, 01:22

I've read a lot of reviews for ' Sonic Boom' and I'm salivating at the thought of finally listening to it

:

Not sure if this breaks the T&C's, but I've used the link in my post above to legally listen to Ace's new album...I'm not too impressed

His 1978 solo album is a lot better...and indeed, his 1980's albums too.
I LOVE the guitar sound, but his vocals/lyrics are a bit naff. He's never been a great singer, but this does him no favours.

I'm still not going to cancel my pre-order though

Maybe more listening will change my point of view!?

MrSpeed · 16-09-2009, 14:23

STILL can't get into Anomaly

Anyone else here got it?

Mr Majestik · 16-09-2009, 14:24

I noticed the Kiss album leaked a few days ago.

MrSpeed · 16-09-2009, 18:55

Me too

My order from Play should be one the way in a couple of weeks...more $$$ to Gene from me

Box986 · 16-09-2009, 19:38

Just pre ordered my copy with HMV with exclusive coaster !!!!!!!

Also took advantage of the Kiss Army Pre Sale for the Tampa and Sunrise shows, got great seats on the arena floor.

Rich....
