Well not yet, but the new KISS album Sonic Boom is expected to sell between 150,000 and 175,000 copies, which would make it land at #1 on the Billboard Charts.
The CD is actually pretty good and the extra DVD and rerecorded classics don't hurt the $12 Walmart price tag. When you think about it KISS's loyal fans probably went out to buy this in droves, so it's no surprise it is selling, but this number is pretty high for today's standards.
Check out KISS playing "Modern Day Delilah" on The Late Show with David Letterman. Paul's voice may be getting a bit raspy, but the band still puts on a great show.

And the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame Award goes to...
KISS!
With Sonic Boom on the way and the Alive 35 Tour, how could the legendary rock band not get inducted???
It's going to happen, mark my words. And most likely this year.
Today KISS was announced to be among a dozen finalists in contention for the honorable award. Now we just need to get bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden in there!
Now it seems like Ace and Peter would have to be present for the ceremony or fans would revolt. Just maybe they would end with a jam between the old and new members a la MTV Unplugged?

KISS and Arch Enemy Clips
Yup. Both Kiss and Arch Enemy have some new clips out. And I'm not sure what to think about either, but I'll wait for the full CD's to judge. Sonic Boom out on October 6th. Root of All Evil same day.
Is it just me or does that old Arch Enemy tune have a riff that rips straight from Blue Oyster Cult's "Astronomy" (although sounds more similar to Metallica's great cover about 2 minutes in)???

Kiss "Sonic Boom" Artwork Revealed!
I think everyone who reads the blog knows that I will back all of Kiss's 70s catalog, as well as select 80s and 90s releases.
Today Kiss revealed the album art for "Sonic Boom" and it has a very 70s feel to it. It was created by Michael Doret, who also designed the "Rock 'n' Roll Over" sleeve, so I expected a little more. I can't say I like the purple/orange color combo, but it could be worse I guess...
Also below is a preview of the song "Modern Day Delilah", which sounds promising.
On October 6, the "Sonic Boom" will be released in the Kiss Korner" exclusively at Walmart. While I hate the store, I look forward to hearing what the band puts out at this point.
UPDATE: Full song is now available online. I like it. There is one part where Paul Stanley does some weird falsetto yell that isn't quite there before the solo, but besides that it sounds rockin' and Eric Singer rules. Check it out. KISSONLINE.com > News > KISS - MODERN DAY DELILAH
