Brides of Destruction to tear up Dublin

Whelan's becomes Sleaze Metal Central on June 10 when the Brides of Destruction stackheal their way into Whelan's.

The non-Kerrang! subscribers among you mightn't be aware that the bands ranks include Nikki Sixx and Tracii Guns who used to ply their respective trades with Motley Crue and LA Guns.

Vocal duties are handled by London LeGrand, a twentysomething hotshot who caused a bit of a stir recently when he turned up a gig disguised as a decaying tree.

"Nikki and I just looked at each other like, ‘Ohmigod, what the fuck is this?’" laughs Guns. "He went to one of those places where they airbrush jackets and had his torso painted to look like a trunk, his arms were done up like branches, and he had leaves around his neck. His hair was all over the place and he was wearing a leather skirt. He looked like something from another planet."
