Labels Won’t Marry Brides Of Destruction.

The supergroup known as Brides of Destruction
is having a hard time landing a deal outside of Japan. And some expect
that the group will not last very much longer.
The group features Motley Crue’s Nikki
Sixx, LA Guns Tracii Guns, Scot Coogan, and newcomer vocalist London LeGrand.
Although there are some unconfirmed rumors that LaGrand has exited the
group. Another unconfirmed rumor about LaGrand is that he was a hair stylist
before he was picked up by the group because he had the “right look”. If
LaGrand is gone maybe they can bring back John Corabi, who is one hell
of singer that never really got his due. There has been no official confirmation
of either rumor from the Brides camp.
Tracii Guns set off concern among the fans
when he made a posting on the group’s website last week. He wrote,
“The album will be delivered in Japan only by September 17th. There are
only plans to promote the album in Japan and there are no plans to tour.
Apparently, we were asking for way too much money for the American and
European license and it turned a lot of people off. That's when everything
came to a screeching halt. So unless a magical deal comes from out of a
monkey's ass, or a label, this record will never see the light of day outside
of Japan."
Red lights must have gone off at Nikki
Sixx central, “Damage control, damage control…!!!” as Guns posted a statement
shortly after that said "I just talked to Nikki. After we deliver to Japan,
we will try to get at least license or distribution. At that point we will
pickup where we left off.
“So BRIDES is not over, it's just not a
full-blown band at this point until we need be somewhere, So I will put
something new together to occupy my time until the CD comes out. He said
if we had the right deal right now... that's pretty much all he would
be putting his energy on... he loves the band, he loves the support
from the rockers and wishes things were different so, it's not all negative
just kinda kinky."
