Kiss - Sonic Boom alternate cover for iPods...

ebon00 from the KISSFAQ board made this...



I, for one, will be using this for my iPod files. It's a shame they didn't have this guy design the cover...this is loads better than the official one.

later...Cliffy

Nice. I'll use it in my iPod.

I bet Gene will start selling multiple album covers for the album any day now.

And here's another really great one that earthdog82 from the Sludge board made:

Nice! That one reminds me a bit of the photos on Psycho Circus.

that one's better than the original IMO!

I really like that first one. Its pretty sharp. I showed my wife and her response was "they look the same."

love both. 2nd is more like PS style.

the 2nd one is AWESOME!

I like both of those better than the original and the first one is amazing.

The real cover is so cheap looking it's really surprising the same guy designed THAT and Rock And Roll Over. It looks like the cover for another lame greatest hits cash-in.

The second cover is excellent!

Nice, especially the first one even though it's clearly(to me anyway) Ace and Peter. The second one is comic book enough to make them kind of seem ambiguous. None the less, they are both 10x better than the official cover.

Nope...that's Eric and Tommy. I actually asked the artist that myself thinking he had made images from old school live band photos, but he didn't...those images are rendered from recent live photos of the current lineup.

Wow! It looks just like pics from maybe the inside or back of the Hotter Than Hell album. Well that is just a different story all together now. That will be my album cover on my iPhone.

I like the first alternate one alot. Miles better than the actual cover.

Both covers are very cool. I think I prefer the second one though. As for the actual cd cover, Paul Stanley was adamant that the artist, Michael Doret, use actual band photos for the cover art, so he couldn't create abstract graphic versions of the personas like he did with RNRO. Too bad. Maybe Paul insisted on actual photos so he wouldn't be accused of trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the casual fan by leading them to believe that Ace and Peter were in still in the band.

Anyway, I actually kind of like Michael Doret's cover.

i've listen whole album and im surprise how prefect it is. songs sings by TT and ES are suprisingly very well done. i cant say the bad wrod. yes, some songs should be much better or completely disappear from album. wha is really missing is PS ballad.

Same here. The alternates are nicely done (I'm partial to the 1st one), but I never disliked the original.
