BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION: In Writing Mode

BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION guitarist Tracii Guns recently spoke to RockConfidential.com about the songwriting process for the group's second album. "We've written almost 30 more songs and we've just completed six more," he said. "Out of those 30, there are 20 that are just barn-burners. They're insane. We know we're going to keep writing because we're songwriters. We have an attitude to not go, 'OK, we're off tour, let's write 12 songs in this fashion and finish a record.' We want to always be able to put out collections of songs. I'm saying that now. It could change tomorrow! We have all this great music written. We just don't want it laying around everywhere. If we end up with 25 or 26 songs that nobody can part with we'll just do a staggered double or triple record. We'll have a CD come out, the next month another one comes out, then the next one. It's horrifying to put out 25 songs at once. Nobody — no matter how good the songs — [is] going to sit through 25 songs. We're not even in the planning stages of that. We've written so much music that we know that there's not enough room on a CD just to do a single-disc release."

Asked about potential touring partners, Guns said, "Oh man...We've got KISS on the table right now for June. It's not confirmed. We're talking about maybe going out with SLIPKNOT. I think AC/DC is going out at one point this year. Obviously, AEROSMITH is. Some stuff is sitting on the table right in front of us and we're just waiting for a couple of things to come in before we confirm anything. The way it turns out, it looks like we may start touring a couple of days after the record comes out. I think we're going to tour a lot! When there's a lot of fun stuff sitting in front of you, you can't go, 'Nah. I'll just stay home.' I think me and Nikki [Sixx, also in MÖTLEY CRÜE] have both been home long enough." [Read more]
