women? <Doro> I love when people have something nice to say. To see that people care and like it, when people say I love your show and I love your record and I love your songs that is so cool, but anything nice, it always gives me inspiration to never ever give up and always give it my all and never take it to easy.
<CVWW> Never take it for granted.
cated and can see I am dedicated as well. We always try to perform EVERY show like it could be the last, no holding back, we give 180%. The people really do appreciate it and they totally get into it. In Spain they still have a big magazine going on, unfortunately in the States all my favorite magazines don‘t exist anymore, but in Spain it‘s old school and they love old school metal and they have so many magazines and radio stations and when the
fan‘s vote for you it‘s so great!
<CVWW> You've been in music for 30 years, what keeps you motivated to perform? <Doro> 30 years, wow, 30 years; well, hopefully we will do it for 40 years. The fans are our main motivation, it can be a big venue, it can be Wacken, a big festival or it can be a small club where every metal head counts. If I see that everyone gets something out of it we want to give them something they will never ever forget. Not just make it a show, but it has to be something profound and deep. I always want to touch people‘s heart and souls with lots of energy and lots of emotion and depth. It‘s the fans that really keep us going, that‘s the most important thing and nothing else. Of course our love for music as well.
<CVWW> You are known as the Queen of Metal, do you get nervous being called that? Is there any pressure being a role model for a younger generation of musicians, especially young
<Doro> Yes, yes, and when people believe in you, you always have to step up to the plate and do what is expected. So every show has to be the best show, every tour. People appreciate it. I think it‘s different in the metal world then the pop world. They stay loyal, once they are your fan they stay forever and that‘s so cool. I feel the same way, that is why I love metal, the whole lifestyle, way of thinking or feeling. All the metal heads have such a big heart and that is what I love and appreciate.
