In addition, Linstruth is the webmaster of Lucassen's official website, a member of his band Guilt Machine (she wrote all the lyrics of their first album On This Perfect Day) and a former member of his former band Stream of Passion. She also co-wrote all the lyrics of the Ayreon album The Theory of Everything, again with Lucassen.

Warbride

Linstruth first came to prominence in the late 1980s when she was featured in Mike Varney's "Spotlight" column in Guitar Player magazine. She moved from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles and, after a short stint in local band Jaded Lady, formed Warbride along with former Rude Girl drummer Sandy Sledge. Linstruth left Warbride in order to move to Sweden with her then husband and the band continued for a brief period with only one original member, keyboard player Velia Garay.

Linstruth attempted to reform the original Warbride in the early 2000 however, the project was put on hold when Linstruth became more involved in Arjen Lucassen projects which led to her becoming a member of Stream of Passion.

Around 2004, Linstruth became involved in Arjen Lucassen's side-project Stream of Passion, touring extensively in 2006 and 2007. Linstruth decided to leave the band in March 2007, following the departure of Lucassen.

Recent career

In 2006 Linstruth contributed with two solos on the tribute-project Mountain of Power, led by guitarist Janne Stark.

By late 2007, Lori left Sweden and headed for the Netherlands where she became Arjen Lucassen's manager.

In February 2009, it was announced that Linstruth would contribute to Lucassen's latest project, Guilt Machine, as a guitarist and lyricist.

In 2010 Linstruth announced in her blog that she had lost her passion of playing guitar and instead would concentrate on dog training.

Musical style

While Linstruth herself promotes Rammstein as one of her main influences, she is also known to be influenced by Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker and Yngwie J. Malmsteen.

She uses wah and tremolo effects extensively.
