Metal Assault recently spoke with vocalist DORO. An excerpt from the interview is available below:

Q: You took part in the RONNIE JAMES DIO tribute show in Germany. How was that experience? I think you had guest musicians like Kai Hansen [GAMMA RAY].

Doro: "Actually, Kai had to cancel as he got sick at the last minute. But other people were there. Doogie White sang RAINBOW and Axel Rudi Pell the guitar player was there. It was a great evening and everybody sang DIO songs. We raised money for the cancer foundation. I think 8,000 Euros were made for it. Our new DVD is dedicated to Ronnie James Dio. I was a big, big fan and I had a great time when we toured together a couple of times. But the tribute concert was great for us and for the fans. It was actually done by the fans and wasn't like a huge thing, but it was done with the right spirit."

Q: You'll be touring with MOTÖRHEAD in Germany. I think Doro and Motörhead is a great combination. When was the last time you toured with them?

Doro: "We've usually done some festivals together. The last time I think was at Wacken last year. Then we did one festival in Spain and that was it. We never really did a long tour together and I guess this will be the first time. Wow, it's going to be really awesome. Mikkey Dee and our drummer Johnny Dee are great friends and it's going to be a great tour. I know Lemmy from the early 80s. I remember in 1983 when I went to England and met him for the first time. For the Calling The Wild album we did two songs together. One was called 'Alone Again' which Lemmy wrote. May be we can do something like this on this tour, we'll see. It will start on the 13th of November. I'm sure something will happen together and we'll sing a song. I would love that."

Q: You also took part in the cartoon Metalocalypse. It was screened in Germany this year. What was the response like at the screening?

Doro: "It was really funny. I was in the great company of Schmier of DESTRUCTION and Mille of KREATOR. We had a great time and I think it came out really good. It's may be a little bit different from the English version but still very funny. For musicians, it's great. I don't know if people get that dark humour. I hope so, because it came out really good."
