''Here Come the Brides'' is the debut album by Brides of Destruction released via Sanctuary Records on March 9, 2004. It is their most successful album being the only one to have a charting on the ''Billboard'' 200, it is also the only album that features bassist Nikki Sixx who would leave the band to rejoin Mötley Crüe for their reunion tour in 2005 and also the only album to feature John Corabi. The album's only single, "Shut The Fuck Up" failed to chart due to little airplay. "Only Get So Far" was originally written by Nikki Sixx for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. ==Background and recording== Brides of Destruction was formed by Nikki Sixx and Tracii Guns in Los Angeles 2002 initially with the name Cockstar after Mötley Crüe went on hiatus and Tracii left L.A. Guns. The lineup was rounded off with singer London LeGrand, keyboardist Adam Hamilton and Kris Kohls of Adema on drums. They were advised by radio programmers that the name Cockstar wouldn't be announced on air. They briefly adopted the moniker Motordog before settling on Brides of Destruction after it was suggested to Sixx by a friend.〔(MOTORDOG Becomes BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION - Oct. 11, 2002 )〕〔(BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION's NIKKI SIXX Discusses Band Moniker - Nov. 19, 2002 )〕 Hamilton left shortly after and was replaced by John Corabi, also formerly of Mötley Crüe, who became the band's second guitarist. They entered the studio with producer Stevo Bruno to begin recording. Kohls left the bend in early 2003 but is still credited in the album for the songs "I Got a Gun", "Natural Born Killers", "Revolution" and "Only Get So Far" despite Sixx stating that his replacement, Scot Coogan, had re-recorded the drum parts for them: After recording his guitar parts for all the songs, Corabi left the Brides stating he wanted to pursue a solo career as his reasons. In an interview years later Corabi cited some tension with Tracii and little writing input contributing to his decision to leave: Sixx's future Sixx:A.M. bandmate James Michael features on the album, co-writing "Brace Yourself", "Natural Born Killers" and "Only Get So Far". Justin Nichols and Grammy nominated songwriter Kevin Kadish are also given writing credits on the song "Life" which sees drummer Scot Coogan performing lead vocals. After recording was finished, the album was mixed by Grammy Award winning producer and mixer Steve Thompson. Initially it looked like the album would only see a Japanese release after signing a deal with Universal Records and failing to find a label for an American/European release. Due to this it looked likely the band were to split〔(BRIDES BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION: Is The End Near? - Aug. 9, 2003 )〕 until they signed a deal with Sanctuary Records〔(BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION Sign With SANCTUARY RECORDS - Nov. 14, 2003 )〕 and set a release date that was pushed back a number of times〔(BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION Set North American Release Date For Debut Album - Dec. 2, 2003 )〕 eventually being released on March 9, 2004. The band chose "Shut the Fuck Up" as their first single and recorded a video with director Paul Brown.〔(BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION Film Video For 'Shut the Fuck Up' - Feb. 11, 2004 )〕 The song was chosen 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Here Come the Brides (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
