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 .
Shut The Fuck Up
Brides of Destruction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A spewing bile necessary
Dementia of your deception
"I don't wanna be the" tolerant
"I don't wanna be the" consequence
"I don't wanna be the president
Doesn't really matter what I say
Nobody listens to us anyway
Doesn't really matter what I do
I'm so sick of you
Shut the fuck up!
A pathetic talking head
You product of your walking head
Your war machined evangelistic mission
"I don't wanna be the" tolerant
"I don't wanna be the" consequence
"I don't wanna be the president
Doesn't really matter what I say
Nobody listens to us anyway
Doesn't really matter what I do
I'm so sick of you
Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!
Doesn't really matter what I say
Nobody listens to us anyway
Doesn't really matter what I do

The song "Shut The Fuck Up" by Brides of Destruction is a scathing attack on the media, government, and religious institutions who have the power to manipulate and control the masses with their deceptive messages. The lyrics speak to the frustration felt by the singer in regards to the lack of influence or recognition they have in society. The opening line, "I can see you smile on my TV," suggests that the person being addressed is a public figure, likely a politician or religious leader, whose words and actions are constantly broadcasted on television. However, the singer sees through their facade and recognizes the insincere nature of their words.
The chorus of the song, "Shut the fuck up!" is a direct message to this person, demanding that they stop lying and deceiving the public. The lyrics emphasize the frustration felt by the singer that their voices are not being heard and that the person they are addressing continues to have power despite their dishonesty. The lines "Doesn't really matter what I say, nobody listens to us anyway" reinforces the theme of the struggle to have one's voice heard and the powerlessness of those who do not hold positions of power.
Overall, "Shut The Fuck Up" is a bold statement against the manipulation and control of those in power, urging them to be honest and truthful to their followers.

The idea of putting Tracey and Nikki together in a band is just perfect. They are the best hands down at the power punk metal music.

My wife is quitting her job in a few months and this is the resignation video she is going to send to her boss.

@Julia. Well said. Nice, me too. Nikki Sixx is one of my favourite musicians. And also a legendary nice guy. Can I ask you if you like John 5. Do you happen to watch Nikki Sixx this channel where he interviews people. He interviewed John 5 ( John's actually a massive fan of Motley Crue, he even covers them some time of time, sings Dr Feelgood including many more
