“I have always been treated with respect and very supported by all the other bands that took us on the road: Judas Priest, Motörhead or Dio,” says Doro leader Doro Pesch in a new interview with Spill Magazine.

“I never felt that being a woman created any problems. It was always a much more difficult fight to fight for my music; to do what you love, keeping the record deal. If I would  have been a different singer I would have done exactly the same. Everybody knew that I was addicted to the music so it was never a problem. I was never at a disadvantage, it was just the way that it was. I felt it in my heart. Today it is much nicer that there are so many more women involved as singers and musicians compared to the ‘80s when I started. There was just a handful of great bands like Girlschool and Rock Goddess. Lita Ford and Joan Jett, there were not so many. Today there is a better balance.”
