Brides of Destruction were a Los Angeles hard rock supergroup born in 2002 out of downtime: Mötley Crüe had gone on hiatus in 2001, and Nikki Sixx joined up with L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns to make some noise. They started out as Cockstar, flirted with Motordog, and settled on Brides of Destruction, a name photographer Dano Panariello pitched to Sixx.
The lineup was a carousel from day one. Singer London LeGrand stayed put, but Adema drummer Kris Kohls and keyboard player Adam Hamilton gave way to ex-Crüe singer John Corabi and drummer Scot Coogan, and Guns quit L.A. Guns to give the Brides his full attention. The debut, Here Come the Brides, came out on Sanctuary and plays like a greasy Sunset Strip hangover run through a modern metal grinder, all serrated riffs and sneering choruses, with "2x Dead" and "I Don't Care" among the tracks rock radio picked up.
Then Sixx went back to Mötley Crüe for its 2005 reunion tour. The Brides pressed on with Amen bassist Scott Sorry and the Wildhearts' Ginger, who lasted a little over two months, and put out Runaway Brides in 2005. Once Guns launched the Tracii Guns Band, the Brides called it a day in 2006.
