Brides of Destruction formed in 2002 in Los Angeles. Its founding members were Sixx on bass, Guns on guitar, Kris Kohls of Adema on drums, and 38 year old neophyte singer London LeGrand. LeGrand impressed in his audition and secured the job as vocalist by impressing his bandmates in a gig opening for Mudvayne and Taproot. The band was initially known as “Cockstar” but radio programmers advised that they wouldn’t be able to announce the name on air. For a brief period afterwards, the band adopted the moniker Motordog, but dropped it shortly after for the final name, Brides of Destruction. Nikki’s friend Dano suggested the name in an e-mail and the band liked it.

Hamilton soon left the band and was replaced by John Corabi who had briefly worked with Mötley Crüe in the 1990’s. The band initially recorded some demos. However Kohls left in November 2002 and Scot Coogan was recruited as the drummer. They recorded some more songs and played two gigs in December 2002 while being support acts for major nu metal acts Mudvayne, Taproot, and Depswa. John Corabi left in March 2003 and the band was on hold for a few months while members pursued they were in discussions with many record labels.

The band eventually signed with Sanctuary Records and recorded its debut album Here Come the Brides for release in the US spring. It made the top 100 of the Billboard album charts in 2004. However, the band chose “Shut the Fuck Up” as its first single as a protest against politicians discussing the war against terror. Despite the fact that the track was edited for radio, the song did not receive as much airplay as the band would have liked and the track failed to chart.
