KISS fan since 1976, when I was 8. My cousin had their records, posters on his wall, etc. I love this song. I did not know that Tommy had the pipes for this when I first bought the album. Tommy almost sounds like a young Gene.
@LMDUS8 What gets me is how dedicated paul and gene are, and the attention they give to our troops, they never give up. Look at where Frehley is now, playing clubs, and Criss is all but gone, and KISS now still sells out stadiums and arenas around the globe, I saw them recently in Detroit and they sound so much better now than ever, and another new album next year, KISS is timeless man. Thanks for the response, proud member of the KISS ARMY.
YES! A NEW KISS VOICE! So glad that Gene and Paul turned Eric and Tommy lose on some vocals. This is so much better than I feared would be a Tommy vocal...he really has chops!
Even in DEATH, WHO would know, under the make-up, KISS COULD last 4ever!! They know about almost EVERY KISS Tribute Band out there, so, who would know, if they looked AND sound JUST like ALL of KISS??!!!! Maybe they already PICKED members to REPLACE them, WHO Knows???!!!!
Tommy ROCKED in his old band Black-n-Blue (with Jamie St. James) and this solo is his signature sound from that band....especially at 2:53 mark. Get their B-n-B Best Hits and enjoy his old stuff from the Hair Band 80's!!
@Coasternator Peter was fired by Gene and Paul due to his drug abuse. Any KISS fan should know that. Gene talks openly about it. "Beth" was written in 1971, when Criss was in the band Lips. The song was originally titled "Beck" for Becky Brand, the wife of one of his band mates. Peter's wife at the time was named Lydia. He never had a wife named Beth. Urban legend.
@LMDUS8 Tommy looks a heck of a lot more comfortable then he was on the KISS Symphony DVD back in the day. His personality really comes out now. And he and Eric understand their place as employees of KISS. Gene and Paul call the shots.
KILLER! Tommy fits in KISS perfectly. He has the right attitude, the talent, the voice and he checks his ego at the door (same goes for Eric)... long live this lineup. The song is forgettable, but it's miles better than some of the crap KISS put out in the 80s (Betrayed, Boomerang, Bang Bang You...)
Have always loved Tommy Thayer, starting back when he was guitarist for Black n Blue. Really awesome tune here, my only compliant is that Tommy and Eric are wearing Ace and Peter's makeup. Makes them look like they're trying to copycat the original members of Kiss. Give them their own makeup designs, like The Ankh Warrior and The Fox had!
It's a shame guys like tommy, ace, peter, and eric didnt have more opportunities to sing in kiss songs. This is just my opinion but i just have a special appreciation for the songs not sung by paul and gene. I believe ace is a far better vocalist than both paul and gene. Just wish he had more chances. I mean his solo album was amazing and think about it he's the lead guitarist and again in my opinion made the best solo album out of the 4 albums each member made in 1979.
Now, years later, we know Ace could have had more chances. But he was hiding the good stuff for his solo album. What he brought in for the KISS albums was too weak. He could have had the same chances in KISS. But he preferred to work for his solo career.
Once again, for all of you hard core KISS fans out there bashing Tommy and Eric for wearing the make up....go back to your frickin' rotary phones, 8-track tape players, and vinyl LPs'!!! I've been a member of the army since 1976, too, and all Tommy and Eric are every bit as good as Peter and Ace....period. I love Ace and his new release. It's great Ace stuff, but that ship has sailed. This band is tight and very good.
@MrAlbo420 I personally think that once Gene or Paul dies, they'll disband. It's futile to find another Demon or Starchild. They've both got very well-defined presences and personalities it'll be extremely difficult to replicate
@TheGbergh, criss got fired, and when he came back for the reunion, he stayed untill his contract ran out, then paul and gene didnt wanna renew it, criss didnt want out he was kicked out
So this in NEW KISS, I'm 37 years old...I grew up with with their old, old shit...Destroyer, Rock 'n Roll Over, Dressed to Kill, Hotter Then Hell, Dynisty, Unmasked, all the old shit. The new stuff isn't bad I will admit that not too many of the old acts from back in the middle to late 70's are able to write new material that is as good or BETTER then the shit that made them famous back then!!!
La voz de Paul es buenísima, y caracterísitca, pero Ace no tenía muy mala voz... algo peculiar, pero no mala. Y la de Tommy.. está bien, pero es algo "sosa", y algo pausada.. En mi opinión, de los actuales miembros de KISS, después de la de Paul, la mejor voz es la de Eric.
Blows away gene and paul stands up with erics track But by no means does this blow away Aces Outer Space or Pain In The Neck or his instrumentals on anaomaly.
Tommy no es tan bueno como el Ace de los 70, pero es mucho mejor que el Ace de los 90...y su voz es 100 veces mejor, aunque la voz de Ace era horrible y al lado de la de Paul cualquiera tiene la voz fea.
None of the songs on the Anomaly are as good as this. Ace can't even sing. His new solos are weak and lazy. Tommy is better and this proves it. Tommy has melody and thought put into his solos, not just random notes.
Why does everyone pick on Tommy?! He's freaking awesome. Why doesn't anyone ever knock Bruce Kulick? He never even wore makeup, which to me, translates as not a true member of the band. I admit that Bruce was and is an amazing guitarist, but Tommy's just as good. All you Tommy haters out there, go pick on Bruce for a while and leave the true KISS members alone.
Really.. I would say the Ace's is hard rock and the Kiss album is closer to pop. This song is good, but not as Kiss claimed.. Sounds nothing like Rock-N-Roll over, Destroyer, Love Gun.. Sounds more like they did in the 80's with leads that contain 50% Ace patented riffs.
KISS is back!! they are the greatest band in the world!! i've got to see them!! at least once to bad they never go to iceland.. :/
KISS fan since 1976, when I was 8. My cousin had their records, posters on his wall, etc. I love this song. I did not know that Tommy had the pipes for this when I first bought the album. Tommy almost sounds like a young Gene.
i like it..perfect...guitars drums vocals...rock and roll..thanx tommy
when you listen to this song, how can anyone say that Tommy doesnt belong in KISS.
This song is AWESOME!
and has a really cool KISS vibe.
It's Refreshing To Hear A Band With Multiple Lead Singers.
You need to get a grip, Frehley and Criss wanted out, period.
DITTO....BEST KISS HAS EVER BEEN 2011...HUMBLE GRATEFUL AND PROUD!
@LMDUS8 What gets me is how dedicated paul and gene are, and the attention they give to our troops, they never give up.

Tommy Thayer has a good voice he should do more songs
All Hail Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer!!!! The legends of the Spaceman and the Cat Man are reborn..
WOW, all thumbs up for Tommy, very refreshing AAA++++!!!!!!!
YES! A NEW KISS VOICE! So glad that Gene and Paul turned Eric and Tommy lose on some vocals. This is so much better than I feared would be a Tommy vocal...he really has chops!
My favorates from Sonic Boom are
Modern Day Delilah,
I'm An Animal,
Dangerous,
and this song(:
HELL!!! I LOVE THIS ALBUM! KISS FOREVER!
Best song on this album hands down. But the entire album is freaking unbelievable!
great song hope they play it live
It’s a badass song
Even in DEATH, WHO would know, under the make-up, KISS COULD last 4ever!!
They know about almost EVERY KISS Tribute Band out there, so, who would know, if they looked AND sound JUST like ALL of KISS??!!!! Maybe they already PICKED members to REPLACE them, WHO Knows???!!!!
Great stuff, this rocks, and man is KISS back or what? LOVE IT!
Tommy ROCKED in his old band Black-n-Blue (with Jamie St. James) and this solo is his signature sound from that band....especially at 2:53 mark. Get their B-n-B Best Hits and enjoy his old stuff from the Hair Band 80's!!
Amazing. Very strong 🥁+🎸+🎤 Tommy is KISS 💋
he sings like a mix of ace with age haha
but its cool
Big Ace fan, but this is a great song. Written by Gene/Paul/Tommy.
If I can find Sonic Boom on vinyl then my house will be jumping off it's foundation.
one of the best songs kiss sang
Great song !! It's amazing how much Eric resembles Pete and Tommy resembles Ace in both sound and apperance ..
There’s a name for those types of people who impersonate somebody. They’re called imposters
Plus I just saw them, and the current lineup is Gods..
It was the best show I could've ever imagined..
KISS ROCKS STILL!
Yeeeah fuckin good album !! Kiss Rock!!
paul should let tommy sing this instead shock me
Tommy Thayer does the lead vocal & Paul Stanley does the backing vocal
@Coasternator
Peter was fired by Gene and Paul due to his drug abuse. Any KISS fan should know that. Gene talks openly about it.
"Beth" was written in 1971, when Criss was in the band Lips. The song was originally titled "Beck" for Becky Brand, the wife of one of his band mates. Peter's wife at the time was named Lydia. He never had a wife named Beth. Urban legend.
@LMDUS8
Tommy looks a heck of a lot more comfortable then he was on the KISS Symphony DVD back in the day. His personality really comes out now. And he and Eric understand their place as employees of KISS. Gene and Paul call the shots.
best song kiss sang
best kiss album
Monster is a good KISS album as well
KILLER! Tommy fits in KISS perfectly. He has the right attitude, the talent, the voice and he checks his ego at the door (same goes for Eric)... long live this lineup. The song is forgettable, but it's miles better than some of the crap KISS put out in the 80s (Betrayed, Boomerang, Bang Bang You...)
Those were all good songs back in the 80s what are you talking about
Have always loved Tommy Thayer, starting back when he was guitarist for Black n Blue. Really awesome tune here, my only compliant is that Tommy and Eric are wearing Ace and Peter's makeup. Makes them look like they're trying to copycat the original members of Kiss. Give them their own makeup designs, like The Ankh Warrior and The Fox had!
graet
A melhor do álbum! 🤩🤘
It's a shame guys like tommy, ace, peter, and eric didnt have more opportunities to sing in kiss songs.

I mean his solo album was amazing and think about it he's the lead guitarist and again in my opinion made the best solo album out of the 4 albums each member made in 1979.
KISS made the solo albums in 1978 not 1979 get it right will you
Now, years later, we know Ace could have had more chances. But he was hiding the good stuff for his solo album. What he brought in for the KISS albums was too weak.
He could have had the same chances in KISS.
But he preferred to work for his solo career.
wow, so deep and original. mind blowing lyrics. these guys must be the hottest band in the whole fucking world..
The beast song of álbum! 🤩🤘
There is so many first track on tube that i decided to not upload it, if u want i can do it.
Once again, for all of you hard core KISS fans out there bashing Tommy and Eric for wearing the make up....go back to your frickin' rotary phones, 8-track tape players, and vinyl LPs'!!! I've been a member of the army since 1976, too, and all Tommy and Eric are every bit as good as Peter and Ace....period. I love Ace and his new release. It's great Ace stuff, but that ship has sailed. This band is tight and very good.
to be fair, they went out to write an ace song. if tommy wrote a song on his own merit, wud it sound as good as this?
This beats AC/DC or any other band by light years.
@MrAlbo420 I personally think that once Gene or Paul dies, they'll disband. It's futile to find another Demon or Starchild. They've both got very well-defined presences and personalities it'll be extremely difficult to replicate
@TheGbergh, criss got fired, and when he came back for the reunion, he stayed untill his contract ran out, then paul and gene didnt wanna renew it, criss didnt want out he was kicked out
yep
@MrAlbo420 I Agree with you. Once either Gene or Paul dies (because we know damn well they will go till they die) they will breakup.
This and Erics song are the highlights of this CD.
he looks like with gene singing
Is Tommy trying to sing like Ace? I like it either way
Tommy you impressed Me !
But I Still Love Ace
Ace & Tommy are both good
Sounds like their 80's stuff.
but you cant deny the reason for unmasked was for talk to me and two sides of the coin
Riff sounds like Head East’s Going down for the last time.
Tommy rocks! :D
Tommy Thayer is the best SPACEMAN & so is Ace Frehley
MORE COWBELL!!
@TheGbergh Both were not addicts just Frehley.Criss missed his familey ever heard of Beth will that was for his wife Beth.
the spaceman rock any kiss fan sould never dis him
Tommy Thayer is 150% better than Ace at singing and guitar! Ace is amazing but Tommy kicks ass! I love Tommy Thayers work. Especially this song
No problem... I just did not care for the reference to Ace's album.
@tacosalad98 He said rebornd not replaced
So this in NEW KISS, I'm 37 years old...I grew up with with their old, old shit...Destroyer, Rock 'n Roll Over, Dressed to Kill, Hotter Then Hell, Dynisty, Unmasked, all the old shit. The new stuff isn't bad I will admit that not too many of the old acts from back in the middle to late 70's are able to write new material that is as good or BETTER then the shit that made them famous back then!!!
@madz3553 yes tommy sings
i mean, ace with gene
i fucking love ace but tommy you fucking shine on this song and out perform gene and paul by miles GREAT FUCKING ROCKER.
@jwingnut1 what??? are you sure???
La voz de Paul es buenísima, y caracterísitca, pero Ace no tenía muy mala voz... algo peculiar, pero no mala. Y la de Tommy.. está bien, pero es algo "sosa", y algo pausada..
En mi opinión, de los actuales miembros de KISS, después de la de Paul, la mejor voz es la de Eric.
@AncientBarbaricEvil
This album is much better than Psycho Circus.
My bad its Head East Never "Been Any Reason"
Sounds like Nazareth!
Not even close
@foxman123456789 no peter and ace left in 1980 and 1982 ;)
Blows away gene and paul stands up with erics track But by no means does this blow away Aces Outer Space or Pain In The Neck or his instrumentals on anaomaly.
@MahNameIsPatrick haha right^^
@jwingnut1 Sorry!
@amigotole yes tommy is a good singer and guitar player but no one can compare to Ace! U cant put anyone up to the original SPACE ACE! XD
ace is a spaceman not a f*cking dog
TOMMY THAYER IS GOD!
who is singing?? tommy??
Madeline H, yes ma’am! 💙
Tommy no es tan bueno como el Ace de los 70, pero es mucho mejor que el Ace de los 90...y su voz es 100 veces mejor, aunque la voz de Ace era horrible y al lado de la de Paul cualquiera tiene la voz fea.

This is garbage. He trys to act sing and look like Ace at least all the other replacements were original and came up with there own style and sound.
Really.. I would say the Ace's is hard rock and the Kiss album is closer to pop. This song is good, but not as Kiss claimed.. Sounds nothing like Rock-N-Roll over, Destroyer, Love Gun.. Sounds more like they did in the 80's with leads that contain 50% Ace patented riffs.
oh god, no damn wonder I never gave this song a second thought,,,no thanks, we have shock me. this is making me sick
doesn't do it for me.......sorry
@lingling86 tommy is a poser who cant sing . eric can atlest pull off peters songs . he was in the band at lest before peter and ace got kicked out
