When listen to this song, the first thing that comes to my mind is Mr. Simmons´ solo album from ´78. Could easily fit on that album, but also on Love Gun and even on Rock and roll over.
Heck yeah I picked up a whole cd once of demos-alot of the stuff was origianally supposed to be on this album called Deadly Weapons back in 1980/81 - it's great stuff
"Nobody's Perfect" is actually a perfect KISS song in my opinion. Gene´s singing is great, Tommy is playing like an ace and Eric is hitting the cowbell just like a the cat-man. With a touch of "Mr Speed", "Room Service" and "Let Me Know" you can´t go wrong. Good Stuff!
God this song owns. Good to see Gene come up with a scorching KISS tune. His vocals are damn smooth and the attitude behind them are all rock and roll~~~hahaha, love it.
Yeah. If your 3 year old had to point that out to you. Then, you see, Nobodys Perfect. Not you. Not me And not KISS. And that is the whole point about great rock n roll. She was listening. Gotta love it. Keep On Rockin'.
Nobody's perfect was originally wrote about 80/81 along with Heaven which appeared on Peter Criss's let me rock you-so was a great Demo called Deadly Weapon-not the one on asylum-Paul sings that-also thunder in my heart and dont run which became Darklight for the elder and yes I got them from an underground record store in greenich village,N.Y. and Im 44-I have two albums(vinyl)-yes I did say albums of out takes from the elder and some of the stuff the recorded at Ace in the hole studios
Thank you so much for posting this, now I'm off to WAL MART to BUY Sonic Boom! I already know it's a fantastic KISS record, and I'll enjoy it that much more having heard these samples now. Don't listen to tomtomtiddles down there, he's obviously not a vested fan of the band. This truly is a comeback record, and I haven't been this proud of my heroes in decades. They are back on track, and I'd be ecstatic to buy a new record by this band in the future. Great job Paul, Gene, Eric & Tommy!
jose - i think the lyrics are corny, But other than that I like sonic Boom I noticed people either Love it or Hate it. im just glad they finally released a New CD. (new in oct)
By well rounded I mean "full of great songs." No filler, unless you consider "Never Enough" and "Lightning Strikes" to be weaker songs, like I do. KISS went soft with "Crazy Nights." It's like they recreated the late seventies in the late 80's and went pop again. Asylum is an under rated album. Yes, there are a few over cheesy girly Paul songs, but there are also great heavy rock songs like Im Alive, King of the Mountain, Any Way You Slice It and of course Loves a Deadly Weapon
sonic boom may not be like love gun or rock and roll over, but its definetly a very good album: simple, catchy and solid rock and roll. Actually i think its better than lots of kiss's albums from the 80's and its also better than psycho circus, which only had 1 good song (the one with the album's name). It may not have a blockbuster song like rock n roll all nite, but it also doesn't have too much filler. It has a feeling of kiss's classic albums and i like it for that.
I was out to Walmart today and saw the album was out, and after listening to a few tracks on here, I am DEFINITELY picking this up. DON'T download this! The band is giving the fans a new studio album, the better-than-you think Jigeru Retsuden (Classics rerecorded), AND a short live DVD for $14 is just fantastic, and people should send a message to the labels that we want MORE value releases like this! It's not about Gene and Paul's bank accounts, it's about rewarding a quality release.
@eRnsthendrixon right on!! Gene has never sounded better. and he's in his 60's and STILL sounds great! Tommy really IS a great guitarist, don't let the haters convince you otherwise. and Paul really pushed his voice to the limits, again sounding great for his age, one of rock's greatest ever voices. i does remind one of Rock And Roll Over or Love Gun doesn't it? at least to me. :-)
You know, I just realized that Sonic Boom is exactly what the music scene has been missing for quite a while. Just a kick ass, feel good "hey let's party" rock album! This album is so damn stellar! Is it October 6th yet?!?
Yeah because Gene's voice has aged well, he has a better growl nowadays then ever. On Gene's "Asshole" album (which wasn't very good) he had a brutal growl, I wish he'd a used it a bit more on "I'm an Animal".
ivsi - your absolutely RIGHT fans should have a rite to say hey i dont like this about an CD. I Like sonic Boom good songs. its Aces new one that is lame. a cover 2 instumentals & 2 really lame songs. I expected More from ace, But some fans are like "wow this is Great" & i think it very Boring
no mi grupo favorito era kiss !!!! lo q paso es que e estado esperando a que vuelvan a lanzar un superalbum como PSICHO CIRCUS, en la que cantan tanto peter criss y el as espacial.... pero solo de este album escuche 2 canciones buenas y las demas ni las volvi a escuchar entonces al esperar 11 años a que sacaran algo bueno reacciono mal!!
SOnic Boom fits with the classics... Is it Destoyer? NO.. But a great record indeed. Great KISS record for 2009 is SOnic Boom. Real KISS fans know this.... Paul can still sing... dont worry about that. Still better than all the worthless bands out there even if a little raspy. Plus, last 2 shows I went to MSG and Philly, he was better than the CT show I went to. So like I said to all the KISS bashers, go crash your car into a brick wall. Make sure you are in it...
you are 100% correct! KISS never figured out that the juvenile sexual stuff didn't make them look cool. It actually limited their audience and cost them money. If not for that line I would say this is the best KISS song since the Love Gun record.
sounds a little chuck berryish which is a fucking great thing this is a great song now ill have to get this album if the songs are as good as this just fun rock i already have anomoly which is one of the best albums all fucking year.
Hoc6 - not sure what you mean by "well rounded" 84,85,87 lps were also great dont get me wrong lick it up is an awsome one & Heavy to. the First lp i noticed that they were creating weak lame songs was Hot in the shade. But i like some songs off that one too. Yes peter & Ace screwed it up & their new cds are Lame
I Say sonic boom, and Psycho Circus, are equally great, they both have songs that are worth selling and there are some songs that werent even supposed to happen, like that lame ass Ace Frelhley song "in to the void" its too long and tries too hard, instead they should of put, "In your face" which is from Ace too. and Simmons' "Within" sucks. On Carnival of souls, its not bad but its not very good either, Sonic Boom its a very honest creation, Just like Live to Win Paul Stanley Solo
Hoc - I like lightning strikes. I think Hot&cold ,Danger us are lame songs. But i like all the other songs. Crazy Nights was good yeah a Ballad. some good Guitar playing from Bruce. Hot in the shade had some lame songs But also some good ones.
antro - WTF do you want!? its a Good Rock CD. the only thing i think is missing is Tommy playing some good signiture riffs. the CD is WAY Bettter than Aces new cd. 2 covers & 2 instumentals 2 lame Lame songs yeah "its over" was also said in 79-81 & it didnt happen! KISS did does & will continue to Rock
@@scottkfan1 But Anthony is correct. Why have Tommy play what sounds like Ace, Vinny got to play his own style, Mark St. John did also, and then think about Bruce Kulick, completely a different sound. If you listen to Tommy's music prior to joining KISS, his sound is completely different. Seems like they don't really value him as a Musician.
But see, that's the whole point. This is KISS doing what KISS does best. Everytime KISS has tried to do the "mature" album it has flopped. I've said it for years, KISS is at they're best when they're singing about pussy. If you feel you have "out grown" KISS then find other bands to listen to. However some of us still like fun, irreverant party music and that's what KISS does best!
ok yo se que tienes problemas con esta persona de arriba pero porque crees que el album es una mierda...quiza si no eres fan de kiss te entienda. cual es tu grupo favorito?
metalheart.....your rite they do rock ....in concert playing their best old material....i dont know what i expected from the album...and i did give it a good couple of listens...but i just cringe when i hear some of that lame 80,s style music....i find Ace,s album more interesting...i still think its over
kiss fans isn`t so lost/dumb/blind as some people think if you ask me. paul and gene know this better than anyone. at several occations fans have turned their back to the band, f ex elder. but when they put out something that people want, the have success. like now!
This album is the real deal, I don't hear any filler. Tommy and Eric's songs could've been better if Gene and Paul sang them instead but still good songs just not great.
yeah I'll try to post them but Im a real moron when it comes to uploading stuff,so please give me a little time-my daughter will probably have to do it for me-Lol
de acuerdo contigo kiss a sacado por primera ves en su historia un album muy muy mediocre,, te aconsejo que escuches mejjor el album de Ace freheley Anomaly ese album si es esquisito!!!!!
sabbath7 actually I have a 14 song Cd, with 2 more on the way, as well as a pile of new ones I am working on. I write, record, mix, and master all of my work. I have also built my own one of a kind custom bass, and have almost finished my first novel and comic book. Kiss is just one band and type of music I like, and it's punks like you who Kiss bash for a living that are shit to me. Get a job instead of making Kiss bashing your full time occupation little boy.
dude get a job and buy the cd its illegal to have this on here and i know paul stanely will sue you for copy rigth infrigment iam just writeing a comment i wont hear it i ll buy it
your Not a real fan. "cringe"? get Real the cd doesnt sound anything they did in the 80's or 80s music. Listen to their 80's songs theyr Heavier. its over? Yeah tell that to the 25,000 plus Arenas they Fill everyNight
I liked this song the first time I put it on... until he came to this line in the chorus: ' Baby, it's time you take off your clothes ' ..... Totally ruins the song.... would have been perfect without it.
They said this will be one of the best albums,unfortunately it really sounds like shit,bring back Ace because Tommy Thayer is better suited to Emerson Lake and Palmer,the jury is still out but so far no good,i dont think ill be wasting my money
im a kiss fan ..and to be honest this pile of crap is disgusting.....i cant discribe it any other way...wake up people and take ya blinkers off...kiss is shadow of its former self.....ITS OVER!!!!!!!!!
mmmm...i just listened to it again...and yep its cringeworth......i dont like it ..you do...and thats both our rights....and i would go and see them play live for sure ..but not to hear this lame uninspired collection of songs...and am i a real fan well i thought i was...but from what i,ve read around here ...if you dont tow the line and love sonic boom...your non believer
Out of Gene's songs in Sonic Boom, this is the best one because it captures classic KISS and this could fit in either Rock & Roll Over or Love Gun.
When listen to this song, the first thing that comes to my mind is Mr. Simmons´ solo album from ´78. Could easily fit on that album, but also on Love Gun and even on Rock and roll over.
Great Album ..LOVE every song on it \m/ ,
Heck yeah I picked up a whole cd once of demos-alot of the stuff was origianally supposed to be on this album called Deadly Weapons back in 1980/81 - it's great stuff
"Nobody's Perfect" is actually a perfect KISS song in my opinion. Gene´s singing is great, Tommy is playing like an ace and Eric is hitting the cowbell just like a the cat-man. With a touch of "Mr Speed", "Room Service" and "Let Me Know" you can´t go wrong. Good Stuff!
reminds of nothin to lose i love it
Kiss! Always will be the Greatest band in the World! Great song! Nobody will ever top there Live Show!
great song.
God this song owns. Good to see Gene come up with a scorching KISS tune. His vocals are damn smooth and the attitude behind them are all rock and roll~~~hahaha, love it.
This is freakin' EXCELLENT!! Truly Klassic Kiss all the way!
KISS, I will aaaaaaaaaaaaaalways love you!!!!!!!!!!! Respect to the masters of true rock!
What a great song.....Didnt think I would like this one....but it sounds like it should be on Destroyer! Well done!
Sounds like Kiss is having fun again, and that makes me happy! Suddenly I am looking forward to the next album too...
Awesome song ! Should be released as single , I will be right there to purchase Sonic Boom on the 6th !
best cd i like this because it's about whatever happens, they will be together
Yeah. If your 3 year old had to point that out to you. Then, you see, Nobodys Perfect. Not you. Not me And not KISS. And that is the whole point about great rock n roll. She was listening. Gotta love it. Keep On Rockin'.
Great Song..... Good old Klassic KISS!!!!
Nobody's perfect was originally wrote about 80/81 along with Heaven which appeared on Peter Criss's let me rock you-so was a great Demo called Deadly Weapon-not the one on asylum-Paul sings that-also thunder in my heart and dont run which became Darklight for the elder and yes I got them from an underground record store in greenich village,N.Y. and Im 44-I have two albums(vinyl)-yes I did say albums of out takes from the elder and some of the stuff the recorded at Ace in the hole studios

Ace can play like Ace since he sobered and anomaly is great
im feelin this, gene rocks 1 of the sest on album
They play LOADS of Kiss on Rock Radio 106.1 (Manchester area UK) K
I love this. Gene is back to his old womanizing self, musically. Man, this is fucking great!
jose - i think the lyrics are corny, But other than that I like sonic Boom I noticed people either Love it or Hate it. im just glad they finally released a New CD. (new in oct)
solo sounds ace!!
By well rounded I mean "full of great songs." No filler, unless you consider "Never Enough" and "Lightning Strikes" to be weaker songs, like I do.
KISS went soft with "Crazy Nights." It's like they recreated the late seventies in the late 80's and went pop again.
Asylum is an under rated album. Yes, there are a few over cheesy girly Paul songs, but there are also great heavy rock songs like Im Alive, King of the Mountain, Any Way You Slice It and of course Loves a Deadly Weapon
@eRnsthendrixon I agree. Very old school KISS feel.
this sound like it could have been on rock n roll over, it has a meet you in the ladys room vibe to it.
better than i thought...10 years since the last album..okay,not like the old stuff,but still not bad.
Out of all the songs on this album, this one comes closest to the mid-70's KISS sound they said they were after, IMO.
this is so cool.
Most of what I have listened to so far some of the riffs are the old stuff then they break away to a newer feel!!! It's not a bad thing at all!!!
sonic boom may not be like love gun or rock and roll over, but its definetly a very good album: simple, catchy and solid rock and roll. Actually i think its better than lots of kiss's albums from the 80's and its also better than psycho circus, which only had 1 good song (the one with the album's name).

It's not about Gene and Paul's bank accounts, it's about rewarding a quality release.
It would be cool if they played the entire album on the Sonic Boom tour in 2010, and then for encores.. like 10 classics!
@eRnsthendrixon right on!! Gene has never sounded better. and he's in his 60's and STILL sounds great! Tommy really IS a great guitarist, don't let the haters convince you otherwise. and Paul really pushed his voice to the limits, again sounding great for his age, one of rock's greatest ever voices. i does remind one of Rock And Roll Over or Love Gun doesn't it? at least to me. :-)

mee too
i ment best the more you listen you know this album is good and also fun
Kiss ass ..... Perfect song. Kiss rules for more than 36 years. Imagine, young folks.
fun song
This song reminds of "Ladies in Waiting" , how Gene sings.
Yeah because Gene's voice has aged well, he has a better growl nowadays then ever. On Gene's "Asshole" album (which wasn't very good) he had a brutal growl, I wish he'd a used it a bit more on "I'm an Animal".
I thought that too!!! man I thought it was just me I told my brother that and he looked at me weird lol the begining makes it sound like one huh?
I agree!!!!
STOP HATING, THIS ALBUM IS BADASS
This is an old song re-recorded for the new record...Here one youtube there is the original demo.
AMEN!!!
well, you obviously like it enough to keep arguing your point. KISS appreciates your business. ;)
Fucking right, Kiss Rocks!!!
80's glam? What are you talking about? This is 100% pure rock and roll and if you don't like it stfu.
Even never enough and hot and cold MO
well i guess your right !! i wash mi hands im not gonna change mi opinion, sonic shit!!
i gonna miss you mr legion bye!!!
this is so much better than the demo of this song from the 80s
ivsi - your absolutely RIGHT fans should have a rite to say hey i dont like this about an CD.
I Like sonic Boom good songs. its Aces new one that is lame. a cover 2 instumentals &
2 really lame songs. I expected More from ace, But some fans are like "wow this is Great"
& i think it very Boring
danger us is a good song...it sounds like ac/dc a little bit though.
Lol-lmao-you are so right but it's still better than Gene's last solo effort
400 dollars?????Wuoaaaaaaahhh!!!!!
I've spend 60 euros for the last concert in Verona
no mi grupo favorito era kiss !!!! lo q paso es que e estado esperando a que vuelvan a lanzar un superalbum como PSICHO CIRCUS, en la que cantan tanto peter criss y el as espacial.... pero solo de este album escuche 2 canciones buenas y las demas ni las volvi a escuchar entonces al esperar 11 años a que sacaran algo bueno reacciono mal!!

Hoc6 - not sure what you mean by
"well rounded" 84,85,87 lps were also great dont get me wrong lick it up is an awsome one & Heavy to. the First lp i noticed that they were creating weak lame songs was Hot in the shade. But i like some songs off that one too.
Yes peter & Ace screwed it up & their new cds are Lame
What is our world coming to, when you search Kiss in the youtube search bar that a Souljar Boy song is first on the list...
I think it would be awesome if they had their own make up...that would be soo cool
it is from the 70's this is an old old demo from 1978
$400?
I spent $125 on 4 tickets to the first Cobo show. They looked and sounded better than ever.
Better than most of what Gene has done since about 1982 (Creatures of the Night era) but still below par for thier heyday.
I Say sonic boom, and Psycho Circus, are equally great, they both have songs that are worth selling and there are some songs that werent even supposed to happen, like that lame ass Ace Frelhley song "in to the void" its too long and tries too hard, instead they should of put, "In your face" which is from Ace too. and Simmons' "Within" sucks.

,Danger us are lame songs. But i like all the other songs. Crazy Nights was good yeah a Ballad. some good Guitar playing from Bruce.
Hot in the shade had some lame songs But also some good ones.
SONIC BOOM is the best thing this band has done in decades. Much better than PCYCHO CIRCUS ! Although that had a few good songs ...
antro - WTF do you want!?
its a Good Rock CD. the only thing i think is missing is Tommy playing some good signiture riffs. the CD is WAY Bettter than Aces new cd.
2 covers & 2 instumentals 2 lame Lame songs
yeah "its over" was also said in 79-81 & it didnt happen! KISS did does & will continue to Rock
they didny really take much from the demo but some lyrics. very different. way better
If Tommy is going to play like Ace then why not get Ace back???...
Because ace is a fuck up who is lazy and hard to deal with and kiss and the whole crew do not want to deal with his unprofessional bullshit..
@@scottkfan1 But Anthony is correct. Why have Tommy play what sounds like Ace, Vinny got to play his own style, Mark St. John did also, and then think about Bruce Kulick, completely a different sound.

nobody is perfect
only gene simmons
Gene where the hell is that growl you use to have-shouldve had Paul sing this or Eric
its a demo from 1980 i beleive
@vettefret because ace cant play like ace anymore, have you heard him lately!?!??! yikes!
haha so it's like you then
Ummm, Gene? I will.... like take off my clothes for you ANY day!
Hell yeah me too!
I think they were chanting..wal-mart sucks..
