The group's early lineup featured Adam Hamilton (L.A. Guns), John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, The Scream, Union) and drummer Kris Kohls (Adema) while Sixx's future Sixx:A.M. bandmate DJ Ashba (Beautiful Creatures, ASHBA, BulletBoys) was invited to join but declined to focus on other projects.
They released debut album Here Come the Brides in 2004 (which charted at number 92 on the Billboard 200) and toured before Sixx departed to rejoin Mötley Crüe. Scott Sorry (Amen, The Wildhearts, Sorry and the Sinatras) replaced Sixx while Ginger (The Wildhearts) joined the group briefly, contributing to the second album, Runaway Brides, released in 2005. The group toured but eventually were put on hiatus, in 2006, following Guns' brief stint in Quiet Riot and the formation of The Tracii Guns Band (which later became the second L.A. Guns). The other members have since moved onto other groups with Coogan playing in Lynch Mob and LeGrand forming Souls of We .

Revolution
Proceed mission bride injection
Operation mass detection
Disengage governed protection
Nation damnation world domination
Revolution institution coming to ya (smells of revolution)
This is my revolution
Prosecute and draw conclusion
Penetrating persecution
Execute project intrusion
Nation damnation world masturbation
Revolution institution coming to ya (smells of revolution)
Revolution evolution coming to ya (smells of revolution)
Revolution prostitution coming to ya (smells of revolution)
Revolution institution coming to ya (smells of revolution)
Brothers and sisters
We're your synthetic poetic burlesque
Stereotyped T.V. addicted force-fed
On this non-apologetic private mission
You misunderstood white trash rats of today
Revolution institution coming to ya (smells of revolution)
Revolution evolution coming to ya (smells of revolution)
Revolution prostitution coming to ya (smells of revolution)
Revolution institution coming to ya (smells of revolution)
Revolution institution coming to ya (smells of revolution)

Revolution
in Brides of Destruction's song "Revolution" expresses a strong rebellious sentiment towards the established institutions and governing body. The lyrics are a call to action for a revolution, which will bring about a new world order that will replace the old ways of protecting and managing the nation. The song is filled with metaphors and strong imagery that convey the power of the revolution and the inevitable changes that it will bring.
The first verse of the song talks about the injection of a new bride into the mission of bringing about a revolution. This could be read as a call for everyone to join in and contribute to the cause. The next line, "Operation mass detection," talks about identifying the masses that will stand with the cause of the revolution. The line "Disengage governed protection" suggests the undoing of protection provided by the current governing authorities.
The use of the term "nation damnation world domination" suggests that the current nation-state system is damned and will be replaced by a new order that will dominate the world. The chorus, "Revolution institution coming to ya (smells of revolution) Revolution evolution coming to ya (smells of revolution) This is my revolution," emphasizes the idea of a coming revolution that is anticipated to bring about massive changes.
The second verse of the song talks about prosecuting and drawing a conclusion. "Penetrating persecution" suggests that the powers that be are persecuting people who are trying to bring change. The line "Execute project intrusion" talks about the implementation of plans that will counter the existing system. The use of the term "world masturbation" refers to the destructive and self-centered nature of the world's current order.
Finally, the song ends with a call to all to be a part of the revolution, regardless of their background. "Brothers and sisters, we're your synthetic poetic burlesque, Stereotyped T.V. addicted force-fed, On this non-apologetic private mission, You misunderstood white trash rats of today," conveys a message of unity among all those who are looking for change.
