more Tracii magic.......2006-08-20

This album doesn't deserve the bagging it's getting, it rocks pretty hard. Yeah it's different to the first one, and yeah Nikki's off playing with the Crue...get over it.

Don't believe all the negative reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-03-28

After reading so many negative reviews of this album I was hesitant on buying it. I said screw it and got it anyway and I'm glad I did!! It goes to show you don't trust anyone's opinion but your own. All the songs rock pretty hard. Tracci plays some killer riffs. Kudos to London for the great singning especially on 'Never Say Never' with a little bit of Steven Tyler influence. If you like LA guns and Motley you should dig this CD. Check it out.

Drop the Nu from the Metal Please.......2005-12-17

Tracii Gunns hooking up with Nikki Sixx and John Corabi sounded like the best thing since the "Use Your Illusion" albums. Just like those albums, the Brides of Destruction left with something to be wanted. Corabi left before anything happened, which is a shame, because had Corabi stayed, the songs would have been greatly written, as well as having the strong voice that is John Corabi.

Anyway, enough of my rant about missing Corabi (I call him Jesus), this album is also without Nikki Sixx, who seems to me like the only real strong songwriter for the group. Tracii is a phenomenal guitarist, but he needed Paul Black or Phil Lewis to do the writing in L.A. Guns. "American Hardcore" proved that.

So what's with this album? How is it?

Well, to be honest, none of the songs have good hooks or are catchy. The wordplay is weak, and the rhymes can be seen from miles away. London LeGrand, while a competent vocalist on "Here Come The Brides," fails to impress on this record. His screams are weak and it sounds like he was sick while recording the whole thing. Likewise, Tracii's guitar solos seem awkward and out of place on the album.

The sound doesn't come off good. From their Sleaze Metal debut they come out with an album dropping the Sleaze and picking up the Nu. Seriously, this is a Nu-Metal album. The riffing is just like Nu-Metal bands, not like real Metal or Rock n' Roll groups. It makes the album even worse.

Standout tracks?

None. I'm sorry to say.

So overall, I give this album 1 star, except for my copy, which recieves 2 stars for the simple reasoning that it's signed by the band. I don't even have it with my other CDs, in a nice leather bound carrying case. Instead, it's still in the box art, signed by the band, because I heard it once, and I don't want to hear it again.

Don't buy this. Get L.A. Guns "Tales From The Strip" and you'll be glad you did. While no Tracii, his replacement (ex-Roxx Gang. A guy you've never heard of) fits perfectly with Phil Lewis. Probably makes Tracii regret ever leaving the Guns for the Brides.

Take off the dress, and pick up the revolver Tracii, that's all I'm saying.

BY ALL MEANS....STAY AWAY FROM THIS CD!!!.......2005-11-27

I really liked the first BoD CD. So, I was excited to buy this one when it came out. Now that I have it, all I can say is: Anyone who ever questioned Nikki Sixx's songwriting ability...just listen to this CD. His absence is GLARING!!! There are NO stand out songs on this CD. Every song just drags along with no hook or melody or ANYTHING you can hang your hat on. I've never been more disappointed in a sophomore release. All four guys need to move on now....the Brides have Destructed!

Appetite For Destruction it ain't.......2005-10-25

1.5 Stars

While Brides of Destruction's debut album "Here Come the Brides" wasn't a masterpiece, it was still a pretty good, meat-and-potatoes collection of punk-tinged rock songs. With John Corabi (guitar) contributing and Nikki Sixx (bass) as a principal songwriter, it would have to be at least pretty good.

For their sophomore album, gone is Corabi (who left before the release of the debut, but played on the album) and Nikki Sixx. Former LA Guns guitarist Tracii Gunns is left on his own to lead the band. The problem is, while Gunns is a good guitar player, he is not that great of a songwriter; hence, the poor quality of "Runaway Brides" (2005). Although Sixx is credited as writing some of the songs, it's sure hard to tell. Not only do these songs lack good hooks and memorable melodies, but the songs sound forced. It's as though they're trying too hard to sound aggressive and angry. Add to that a mediocre singer in London LeGrand, and you have a pretty bad album.

If you have a yearning for an old-school, 80s sounding rock album, check out the Beautiful Creature's new album "Deuce," or the new (Tracii Gunn-less) LA Guns album "Tales from the Strip." "Runaway Brides" is pure bargain-bin fodder
