They soon added singer London LeGrand, Adema drummer Kris Kohls and L.A. Guns bassist Adam Hamilton, as keyboardist, to the band while former Beautiful Creatures guitarist DJ Ashba was invited to join. However, Ashba declined to focus on his own solo project. Hamilton soon left and was replaced by former Mötley Crüe singer and guitarist John Corabi, added as the band's second guitarist, while Guns left L.A. Guns to focus on Cockstar. They were advised by radio programmers that the name Cockstar wouldn't be announced on air, briefly using the moniker Motordog. They soon adopted Brides of Destruction, suggested by a radio industry friend of Sixx, photographer Dano Panariello with Sixx stating that "sounds a little bit different. It kinda makes sense, it kinda doesn't make sense. Kinda like [the band." They soon recorded and demoed new material.
