Brides of Destruction was an American hard rock supergroup from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2002.[1] The band's last lineup consisted of singer London LeGrand (vocals), Tracii Guns (lead guitar) and Scot Coogan (drums, percussion). Previous members of the band were Nikki Sixx (bass), Kris Kohls (drums), Adam Hamilton (keyboard), John Corabi (rhythm guitar), Scott Sorry (bass) and Ginger (rhythm guitar).[1]

Nikki Sixx formed Brides of Destruction with L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns, initially with the name Cockstar,[1][2] after Mötley Crüe went on hiatus in 2001. Added to the lineup were Adema drummer Kris Kohls, L.A. Guns bassist Adam Hamilton, who played keyboard in the band, and singer London LeGrand.[1] Hamilton was soon replaced by former Mötley Crüe singer and guitarist John Corabi while Guns left L.A. Guns to focus on the band.[3] They briefly adopted the moniker Motordog[4] before settling on Brides of Destruction[2][4] before recording demos. The name was suggested to Sixx by industry friend and photographer, Dano Panariello.[1][5] By 2003, both Corabi and Kohls departed the band, with former Annetenna and Ednaswap Scot Coogan replacing Kohls.[1]

Sixx returned to Mötley Crüe for a reunion tour in 2005[6] with Brides of Destruction to be put on hiatus.[7] However, the band continued with former Amen bassist Scott Sorry replacing Sixx[8] while Ginger, of The Wildhearts, was added as the band's second guitarist.[8] Ginger's tenure with the band last for over two months[9] while Sorry departed the group prior to their European tour.

Following the formation of The Tracii Guns Band[10] (which later became the second L.A. Guns[11]), Brides of Destruction disbanded in 2006.[12] To date, Brides of Destruction have released two studio albums; Here Come the Brides (2004) and Runaway Brides (2005).
