546.0. "Doro" by COMPLX::WILLIAMS (Long as I keep growing my hair!) Tue May 30 1989 22:20

    Hey, I saw a video the other day on MTV by a chick named DORO.  The
    song was 'Hard Times' and the album was 'Force Majeure'.  Does anyone
    know anything about her?  Pretty hot song.
    
    The dude on MTV said she/they were a band before but I forgot their
    name, and then she went solo with them backing her up and now they've
    replaced some of the members and no longer consider the old band as
    backing her up.  Did that make sense?  So anyways, now it's just DORO. 
    
    I thought the song was surprisingly metal.  In fact, I would have to
    consider it one of the best metal songs I've ever heard by a female
    vocalist.  They didn't try to over power the instruments with her
    voice, nor the video with her looks (One of those cute, chunky, tough
    chicks that would toss most of us around.)  8-)
    
    The only other name I caught was some Hendrix dude playing bass.

Doro was the lead singer for Warlock, which was a pretty cool metal band.
And yes, I also thought she was pretty hot.....

    Doro Pesch is her name, she is German and has supported such bands
    as Dio with her old band Warlock.
    
    She got pi$$ed off with the Warlock guys so she decided to go it
    alone.  
    
    Her newest album cranks - its called Force somethingorover and (when
    I haven't got a busted needle) get regular play on the TonyTurntable.

    I saw her on an MTV interview and she was kinda quiet and shy in
    a way.  A real heartbreaker .... with a good voice !

	Doro Pesch is working on her latest album in Los Angeles.  
	It is being produced by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons.  Gene
	is supposed to have co-written some of the material with
	Doro and will also be making a guest appearance on the LP.
	Doro has also penned some tracks with Diane Warren and Toto 
	man David Paich.  Toto Guitarist Steve Lukather is also 
	featured.  It is as yet unamed but is due for release during 
	late March/early April.  With this album, Doro will be moving 
	in a fresh direction, taking a more melodic, commercial sound.
	"Unholy Love" and "Broken" are a couple of the tracks that
	look likely to be included.

I've just heard Doro covering "Shades of Pale" on the radio, I guess it'll be 
on her next LP.

546.13Doro is a flakeICS::BUCKLEYThis One's for the Girls!Tue Sep 11 1990 19:086
    Two friends of mine auditioned recently for the spot of guitarist
    in Doro's touring band.  You know, we were ALL left wondering WTF
    she wants in a guitarist, as noone got the gig (and they're both HOT
    players!!!).  Seems as if Doro is one flakey b*tch who hires/fires
    people left n right.  Even the keyboardist who did her album and last
    two tours didn't know if he was gonna make this year tour.  Whatever.
546.14Thats it!RTOEU::OCURCIOTurn me looseFri Nov 09 1990 06:254
    Doro Pesch is from Duesseldorf in Germany.

    Not sure which is her "solo" album, but I have Doro's _Force Majeure_
    CD sitting right here...just waiting to go to a new home!!  if you'd
    be willing to pay for the postage, I'd be happy to ship it off.
    
    I never got into the lp.

    She has 2 solo albums after WARLOCK broke up...
546.18PAKORA::IGOLDIEgot my mojo workin'Tue Feb 11 1992 18:319
    I think she had one solo and a Doro plus Warlock(warlock written in 
    small letter underneath)then after that it was a best of album called
    rare gems.I stopped collecting them after the triumph and agony and
    only saw them once supporting W.A.S.P,very biiling and well worth the
    six quid!!!

    	Ok Guys,
    
    		I've just been onto various record stores and she has
    released 4 albums after leaving Warlock. These are - Rare Diamonds
    (with Warlock), Force Majeure (now deleted in the UK), Doro (also
    deleted) and True at Heart (either not yet released or just not here).
    
    re.16   Can you mail me a price ?
    
    If anybody can get me 'Doro' or 'True at Heart' please mail me.

    Somebody help,
    
    		After many years of searching, I still have not been able
    to get hold of Force Majeure, True at Heart, or the new one, Doro Live.
    All three albums have only been released in Germany (as far as I know),
    and the record companies can't get them.
    
    		If anyone out there would be able to get hold of all three
    on CD, then please mail me.
