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 28 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.

The new lineup of Brides of Destruction commenced writing songs for their follow up, Runaway Brides. Ginger soon left the band due to various reasons. In late 2005 while Brides of Destruction were touring Britain and Europe in 2005 Scott Sorry was no longer in the band. The band chose to use Jeremy Guns as the bass player for these shows along with the support act Red Star Rebels bass player, Dazzle Rebel (aka Darren Loczy) for many of these shows.
