This is my favorite song off of the album and I love Eric's vocals, I can't stop listening to it! But, dude you guys all should stop complaining and saying Kiss is only now for money! You all should be happy for Gene putting out merchandise! I've only been a fan for 3 years (i'm 16) though i'm glad Kiss has all the merchandise they have because it's fun to have something Kiss related for me.I hate the fans who say Gene's all in it for the money. I love getting my dose of Kiss almost everday lol
I didn't think I could ever say this, but this is one of the top 3 songs on the album. Great vocals by Eric. Catchy tune. Love it! It doesn't remind me of any other KISS song... which I like... cuz it's new. After a dozen and a half previous studio albums, that's saying a lot! I hope they play this live... great guitar lick by Tommy.
KISS has unbelievable chemistry on this song, and the guitar solo in the middle is basically a bunch of different Ace riffs pulled from old 70's demo's and it sounds great. One of KISS' better songs.
This is a very good cd, one of their best no. A good effort to sound like the kiss of the old. We have all changed in some way over time. People,styles,music ect. So there is no way Kiss will ever be the same as they once were but this is the closest in a while and is a good direction and change for Kiss.
I've been a fan of Eric Singer's singing since UnPlugged. He's got crystal clear lead vocals, and does wonderful harmonies. I'm so happy that Gene and Paul finally let the others sing too. It makes the possibilities seem endless, like in the 70's.
I worked at the Home depot in Yonkers,NY-where Ace only lives 15 mins away and Him and one of our mutual friends came in and he was buying all the stuff he needed for his studio and I was the guy that was lucky enough to hang out with him-three days before Kiss played the olympics-no bullshit
without a doubt,what a lucky bastard he is-not only is he a Kiss fan and an Ace Frehley fan-he gets to live his dreams with the greatest band on earth!!!!
I cannot tell you how really cool they are,Eric Carr was one of the nicest people I ever met had lunch with him once-Im a spoiled Kiss fan-lets just put it this way-I got to see them rehearse for two of their albums and record them and Paul gave me tickets and backstage passes on more then one occasion
Fucking awsome album, and a totally kick ass singing debut from Eric .. Tommy's guitar playing is awsome throughout this whole album .... Gene is back and Paul made it all possible. Been a hard core KISS fan since 1978 and this is the first album in the last 20 years that takes me right back to being a kid again...Paul you did it man !!!
Eric has made his mark through Revenge and Carnival of Souls. He has made his mark again with Sonic Boom, especially with his lead vocal debut, All For The Glory.
@MrLegion2407 i have to agree with andresc228. I mean who are you to comment bout Ace's guitar playing?? can you play all KISS solo's that ace played?? but i agree with you bout ace being a shadow of his former self.
@MrLegion2407 fair enough dude. But look at what Ace has accomplished in his early life playing with KISS. even though he has limited tricks in his bag and all, look where he is now??
agree about ace, they definately (?) try to recreat his sound. Sad, because ace is ace, and tommy is tommy. I guess tommy is up to make his own solos. maybe they give him more freedom on the next album.
@MrLegion2407 yea thats the thing! well i guess the younger generation dont listen to rock and roll anymore. i dont know bout where you come from but from where i come from, the younger generation listen to techno and other stuff. Only a handful likes rock. well personally i would prefer the original line up. who wouldnt?? but i still will listen to KISS because i love the music they play!:)
R.I.P. Loyal Fans of Rock and Roll. KISS is KISS with or without ACE and PETER, just like AC/DC is AC/DC with or without BONN SCOTT, or DAVE EVANS (and for a wile PHILL), or just like JUDAS PRIEST is JUDAS PRIEST, with or without K.K. Downing. Please, a long as the replacements are fitting an mean well, ROCK ON....
On Ace's best day, sure, he might be better than Thayer, but I've seen KISS enough times with both guys to know who is better for the band at this point in time.
I love every line up,just wish paul and Gene let Tommy and Eric come up with their own make-up,so they can express their personalities and get into their characters
I just feel like Bruce got cheated a little in the deal,but who knows maybe they offered and he said no,Paul and Gene just proved one thing Kiss is more important than any one single member,if you dont want to be in the band-move aside-Love Ace and Peter-glad I was able to see them on the Dynasty tour before anything happened but Ace wants to do his own thing and Peter is recording another album as we speak and its suppose to be a Hard Rock album--- Did you ever hear Eric Carr's album
Lick it up and animalize and got to meet Wendy o williams cause they were doing that album and Lick it up at the same time-was backstage at the creatures of the night tour and asylum tour-me and a friend use to go down to their management company here in N.Y. and they always let us stop by--I ran into Ace one night at the home depot when he was building his studio and spent the night helping him
we can look at it like this Ace being solo means we have 2 fucking great tours to look foreward to ace is not playing my home because of fucking greedy promoters but kiss are. Two great albums simple as that. We can hear 70s 90s and new kiss and with ace His frehleys comet stuff Anamily stuff and kiss tracks like Two sides of the coin etc so its a win win. be great if it was a ACE KISS double billman that would sell some tickets.
Killer track,outstanding vocals by Eric. Too bad Pauls vocals are comming through too loud at the end of the bridge after the solo,they should have let Eric handle that too.
Tommys great dont get me wrong,always loved Black and Blue and I think the guy is great--He wasnt teaching Ace how to rehit those notes-Ace has always played off the cuff and has always changed his solos when he played live from the originals-Tommy when he portrayed Acein the copy band strictly played what was recorded on the records
Eric sounds great!!!!!! - but the should have let him just drum like he drums-he's a monster--It's funny Tommy is so trying to reach for the Ace notes and keeps missing
it sounds like it was thrown together like Kiss Killers album and even those songs are better but I have to say I think Eric does a good job on this tune and Tommys a decent guitarist,I just wished they just let him play instead of imitate Ace's playing
why couldnt they do a song like this for Peter on the Psycho Circus album instead of that horrible song-I finally found my way back home-Peter could've did this-Eric sounds amazing-hope to hear a solo album from him in the future
solo sounds like solo from c'mon and love me? they should bring all members of kiss back and really put a real album on the market. this sucks bet they would sell alot of concert tickets.
Well that must've been disappointing for you, considering it was Thayer who had to RETEACH ACE ALL OF HIS GUITAR PARTS for the reunion tours. Did you see Ace on his final tour with KISS? Search some of it on youtube. It's sad. Sloppy as fuck for someone who had been playing those classic songs steadily since 1996.
@MrLegion2407 Ace plays much better than Tommy Ace isn't playing anymore with KISS because he wants...and if he'd want he would retourns inmediately with KISS the same GEne said that on an interview
amazing how they even copy the voices, not only the characters of pete&ace^^...guess they spent a lot of time with casting them^^...well, good songs, anyway...now they can change their playlist they used to play for 2 decades a lil bit^^
your off your head if you think Tommy Thayer is better i saw that goat twice at kiss symphony and farewell part 5 in Melbourne he is a disgrace to the kiss brand.Ace is a legend a true person of the kiss sound
This is my favorite song off of the album and I love Eric's vocals, I can't stop listening to it! But, dude you guys all should stop complaining and saying Kiss is only now for money! You all should be happy for Gene putting out merchandise! I've only been a fan for 3 years (i'm 16) though i'm glad Kiss has all the merchandise they have because it's fun to have something Kiss related for me.I hate the fans who say Gene's all in it for the money.

KISS has unbelievable chemistry on this song, and the guitar solo in the middle is basically a bunch of different Ace riffs pulled from old 70's demo's and it sounds great. One of KISS' better songs.
yea im so addicted to this song and the whole album eric and tommy do a real good job on all the songs
This is gonna be the major hit of the album.
Haven't heard such a catchy chorus in ages.
This is a very good cd, one of their best no. A good effort to sound like the kiss of the old. We have all changed in some way over time. People,styles,music ect. So there is no way Kiss will ever be the same as they once were but this is the closest in a while and is a good direction and change for Kiss.
Best song on the cd... Upbeat and very Kiss! Love it!
How I love this song. One of best songs in this album.
I've been a fan of Eric Singer's singing since UnPlugged. He's got crystal clear lead vocals, and does wonderful harmonies. I'm so happy that Gene and Paul finally let the others sing too. It makes the possibilities seem endless, like in the 70's.
I've not listen every song of this album but All for the glory anf stand are the best song of the album so far! I'll buy this cd :D
Eric Singer is a legend,great drummer,great voice,great charisma
I worked at the Home depot in Yonkers,NY-where Ace only lives 15 mins away and Him and one of our mutual friends came in and he was buying all the stuff he needed for his studio and I was the guy that was lucky enough to hang out with him-three days before Kiss played the olympics-no bullshit
very cool song. kiss attitude. love it.
Great Song! Kiss is back!
without a doubt,what a lucky bastard he is-not only is he a Kiss fan and an Ace Frehley fan-he gets to live his dreams with the greatest band on earth!!!!
I cannot tell you how really cool they are,Eric Carr was one of the nicest people I ever met had lunch with him once-Im a spoiled Kiss fan-lets just put it this way-I got to see them rehearse for two of their albums and record them and Paul gave me tickets and backstage passes on more then one occasion
The part in the solo where Tommy harkens back to some of the Parasite/Dark Light vibe is just great!
True, only one Ace but Tommy is cool to. Must feel good for these guys to stil kick ass after 35+ years of great rock and roll!
Fucking awsome album, and a totally kick ass singing debut from Eric .. Tommy's guitar playing is awsome throughout this whole album .... Gene is back and Paul made it all possible. Been a hard core KISS fan since 1978 and this is the first album in the last 20 years that takes me right back to being a kid again...Paul you did it man !!!
Great Eric Singer/KISS tune! Better than anything on his ESP offerings! Great mix and familiar vibe!
Breathtaking album tbf, it soooo good
Eric has made his mark through Revenge and Carnival of Souls. He has made his mark again with Sonic Boom, especially with his lead vocal debut, All For The Glory.
excuse me? these songs are better than i expected and KISS is still #1
this album sounds so awesome!!!
Singer sings well! Great lyrics.
Best song on the album. Paul Stanley's songs fall short. Gene's are great as usual.
The lead vocal on this song is raw!Sound s like Eric means business...=)
Best song of sonic boom!
and it has the best guitar solo.
cool song. love em.
eric singer is an awesome drummer and a pretty good singer also!!
I would say this is by far the best song on their new album.
KISS ROCKS!!!!!!! \m/ :-) \m/
this album is more than decent it rocks dude!!!!!
damn, cant wait 'till mid 2011...A brand new KISS album!
100% right! KISS ROCKS!!
is so right, KISS was back, KISS dominates
He's a very good drummer and the best singer in the band :D
KISS - Monster - Coming out May or June! Heavier than Sonic Boom! Can't wait!
Oh ya? Throw on that new Ace record and tell me which tracks are so great.
Then again, I do love a good illusion!
Helll yeah im gonna buy the new album today YEAH!!!!
this is my favorite song from sonic boom!
2:25-2:32................ Gene and Paul probably said "do that one thing ace used to do in our live shows" LOL.
There is no conflict in making great art and making money. What is important, is that you are honest about it. Then nobody gets fooled.
Eric Singer has one of the best voices ever!
lol same thing happened to me when i started singing to it i kept saying were all for one and were all for the money lol
this is fockin awesome :D :D :D
@MrLegion2407 i have to agree with andresc228. I mean who are you to comment bout Ace's guitar playing?? can you play all KISS solo's that ace played?? but i agree with you bout ace being a shadow of his former self.
good song
who's going to madison square garden this weekend for KISS! c'mon kiss army come to the NY GROOVE and lets have one big rockin' rollin' party!
RIP KISS 1974-1979
@MrLegion2407 fair enough dude. But look at what Ace has accomplished in his early life playing with KISS. even though he has limited tricks in his bag and all, look where he is now??
@Serj7388
But Peter has the raspy voice that nobody else has! :O
@Luukablee hahahaha! i'd love to join you dude! ALL FOR THE GLORY!
You know, actually, he does the most impressive take on Ace's style that I've ever heard.
agree about ace, they definately (?) try to recreat his sound. Sad, because ace is ace, and tommy is tommy. I guess tommy is up to make his own solos. maybe they give him more freedom on the next album.
AGREE!!
Cause every KISS fan will take the opportunity to become member of the legendary band and go out on tour and become rich.
Supeeeeer song
eric sounds tight!!!
all for the glory
@MrLegion2407 yea thats the thing! well i guess the younger generation dont listen to rock and roll anymore. i dont know bout where you come from but from where i come from, the younger generation listen to techno and other stuff. Only a handful likes rock. well personally i would prefer the original line up. who wouldnt?? but i still will listen to KISS because i love the music they play!:)
he is not washed up he is the rock king
R.I.P. Loyal Fans of Rock and Roll. KISS is KISS with or without ACE and PETER, just like AC/DC is AC/DC with or without BONN SCOTT, or DAVE EVANS (and for a wile PHILL), or just like JUDAS PRIEST is JUDAS PRIEST, with or without K.K. Downing.

On Ace's best day, sure, he might be better than Thayer, but I've seen KISS enough times with both guys to know who is better for the band at this point in time.
@MrLegion2407 Oh man~ this is bad...thank god KISS are still playing!
I love every line up,just wish paul and Gene let Tommy and Eric come up with their own make-up,so they can express their personalities and get into their characters
yeah¡¡¡¡
@PaulKISSStanley
Me too!
I wonder if this song is a shot at Peter Criss' One For All title.
I just feel like Bruce got cheated a little in the deal,but who knows maybe they offered and he said no,Paul and Gene just proved one thing Kiss is more important than any one single member,if you dont want to be in the band-move aside-Love Ace and Peter-glad I was able to see them on the Dynasty tour before anything happened but Ace wants to do his own thing and Peter is recording another album as we speak and its suppose to be a Hard Rock album--- Did you ever hear Eric Carr's album
Lick it up and animalize and got to meet Wendy o williams cause they were doing that album and Lick it up at the same time-was backstage at the creatures of the night tour and asylum tour-me and a friend use to go down to their management company here in N.Y. and they always let us stop by--I ran into Ace one night at the home depot when he was building his studio and spent the night helping him
Peter is 5 years apart from the others, and he's had a rough life. That's why Paul and Gene still have enough left to tour.
sonic boom is the boom of kiss
yes i got to meet Mark,he was just too nice,best when i was just watching Eric Carr just beat the hell out of his drums warming up
this album kicks so much ass
well my friends. kiss tops billboard. someone`s doing something right:)
kiss 4 evaaa!!!!
@XarionFirst
True! :O
Even on Blabbermouth, a metal site which post KISS news, he always post such silly comments. He is under the name of IwinIwon.
we can look at it like this Ace being solo means we have 2 fucking great tours to look foreward to ace is not playing my home because of fucking greedy promoters but kiss are. Two great albums simple as that. We can hear 70s 90s and new kiss and with ace His frehleys comet stuff Anamily stuff and kiss tracks like Two sides of the coin etc so its a win win. be great if it was a ACE KISS double billman that would sell some tickets.
if any of u mother fuckin ppl don't like this song or the group stfo of their songs and let the true fans enjoy what Kiss had done over the years
Killer track,outstanding vocals by Eric.
Too bad Pauls vocals are comming through too loud at the end of the bridge after the solo,they should have let Eric handle that too.
Is that the best you've got to come back with?
Tommys great dont get me wrong,always loved Black and Blue and I think the guy is great--He wasnt teaching Ace how to rehit those notes-Ace has always played off the cuff and has always changed his solos when he played live from the originals-Tommy when he portrayed Acein the copy band strictly played what was recorded on the records
yes i wish they still had ace on the band but they have ok replacements
this was my graduation song
Eric sounds great!!!!!! - but the should have let him just drum like he drums-he's a monster--It's funny Tommy is so trying to reach for the Ace notes and keeps missing
it sounds like it was thrown together like Kiss Killers album and even those songs are better but I have to say I think Eric does a good job on this tune and Tommys a decent guitarist,I just wished they just let him play instead of imitate Ace's playing
why couldnt they do a song like this for Peter on the Psycho Circus album instead of that horrible song-I finally found my way back home-Peter could've did this-Eric sounds amazing-hope to hear a solo album from him in the future
solo sounds like solo from c'mon and love me? they should bring all members of kiss back and really put a real album on the market. this sucks bet they would sell alot of concert tickets.
whos singing main vocals on this song? doesn't sound like gene or paul
Well that must've been disappointing for you, considering it was Thayer who had to RETEACH ACE ALL OF HIS GUITAR PARTS for the reunion tours.
Did you see Ace on his final tour with KISS? Search some of it on youtube. It's sad. Sloppy as fuck for someone who had been playing those classic songs steadily since 1996.
You saw Ace at a Home Depot and he magically decided to let you help him build his studio overnight? Bullshit pal.
tommysucksthebig1
The thing is if Paul or Gene, asks you to replace Ace and wear his make up, you will say yes to both of them.
@MrLegion2407 Ace plays much better than Tommy Ace isn't playing anymore with KISS because he wants...and if he'd want he would retourns inmediately with KISS the same GEne said that on an interview
are u kidding??
I'll say this. Thayer has done a great job at stealing Ace's sound And His riffs.
I will cry the day when Gene will lose his tongue...
amazing how they even copy the voices, not only the characters of pete&ace^^...guess they spent a lot of time with casting them^^...well, good songs, anyway...now they can change their playlist they used to play for 2 decades a lil bit^^
your off your head if you think Tommy Thayer is better i saw that goat twice at kiss symphony and farewell part 5 in Melbourne he is a disgrace to the kiss brand.Ace is a legend a true person of the kiss sound
,Ace buries Tommy your kidding yourself its just an illusion on your behalf
