DORO frontwoman Doro Pesch discusses the 25 Years In Rock two-DVD/CD set in a new interview with Guitar World. An excerpt follows:

Q: The 25 Years In Rock DVD/CD package is set to release in North America very soon. It looks like you've put a lot of work into making it special, so it must be a good feeling that it's finally ready to release.

A: "Yeah, I have been waiting for so long! It's a great package. It has two discs, and it has the anniversary concert we did a while ago with great guests Bobby Blitz from OVERKILL, TARJA TURUNEN and all the ladies of metal, and many others. It's a lot of metal and it's all in this package. I think the package is nice, it looks great and the artwork is done by my favorite artist, Geoffrey Gillespie, who painted some of the other artwork for my albums. I am happy that it's finally coming out in the States!"

In 2008, Doro Pesch celebrated her 25th anniversary concert at the ISS Dome in her hometown of Dusseldorf, Germany. With over 8,500 people in attendance, the magical, full-documented performance included guest appearances by OVERKILL’s Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth, GRAVE DIGGER’s Chris Boltendahl, former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen, SCORPIONS’ Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker, Liv Kristine (LEAVES’ EYES), Floor Jansen (AFTER FOREVER), Axel Rudi Pell and many others. The set was recorded in its entirety and resulted in the mammoth 25 Years In Rock two-DVD/CD set which includes the once-in-a-lifetime concert as well as out-takes from Doro's 2,500th concert and more. 25 Years In Rock will finally be available to North American fans on September 13th via Nuclear Blast Records.

In conjunction with the Stateside release, Doro will perform two special shows — her previously announced appearance in New York City on September 9th and an additional show in Chicago on September 11th. Both nights will include clips from the DVD, limited edition merchandise and an autograph session followed by a performance by the metal queen herself. Tickets are on sale now through all local ticket outlets.
