She is a frontburner in the german heavy metal scene. And this has got more than just one reason. First of all, she's on the road for half an eternity. Second, Doro is some kind of unique beeing the only female headbanger, who kept herself on the surface over all those years. And third, she doesn't just look pretty, she is very nice as well and - yes - she can sing:
But.... and that's Doro's problem, she will never become a so called superstar, will always stream somewhere in the middle of the international metal ocean and just swim along with many others not reaching a certain higher level goal. 
Not in Germany though, where she still is the number one. And this fact once again draws all her fans to this event here and all the other's on this tour. Munich's always been a difficult place to play for hardrocking acts. But this time, there are more fans here tonight, than all those years before. It's showtime and Doro drives  the melting pot exploding. It is always amazing again, how much energy this little woman is able to produce. And she can manage to drive the crowd, her fans up to ecstacy and give 'em pepper in the ass.

Yeah, maybe Doro's outfit is a littel oldfashioned, and reminds me very much about the glory eighties metal years. And musically she stopped somewhere between yesterday and today. Whereby the tendences goes more to yesterday. But as it  is said very often, music should be timeless. And for Doro's fans it definately is. 'Warrior Of Soul' is the slogan, which is highly  celebrated.
The product stands on top of the row, although the classic tunes don't get neclected. Because that#s what fans wanna hear. (see setlist)
Yep, Doro certainly gets her attention from her admirers. And as long this little circle does exists, Doro will still be alive and rocking. 
Yeah okay, - at least here in Germany and some neighbourhood countries.

A short word for the supportband Sonata Arctica, who honestly understand, how to put themselves into the right profile - visually and also acoustically including a rather impressing frontman, with a huge aura. I can tell.

However, I could easily imagine, that this hardrock export from finland one day gets on to the level of In Flames and don't need to tour as a supportact. We wish them all the best. And as we say so: 'a name you should remember'.
