Now Brides of Destruction
First they were Cockstar. Then Motordog. Now the band featuring Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx and LA Guns’ Tracii Guns, have had another change of name. So please welcome the Brides Of Destruction (also including ex-Motley vocalist/guitarist John Corabi, Adema drummer Kris Kohl and singer London). I think their name confusion has about cancelled out their individual name recognition by this time... Just put out a record already.
Staind Starts New Label
Staind frontman Aaron Lewis is the latest musician to start his own label. Currently called ADD, the first signees are a band called Lo Pro, featuring former Ultraspank frontman Pete Murray.
