Believe it or not, Doro is one of my guiltiest metal pleasures. Ever since I first saw the video for Warlock’s “All We Are”, I’ve been quite the fan. And though America hasn’t been particularly receptive to Doro’s charms since the 1980s, you gotta admit that MILF-y frontwoman Doro Pesch is the hardest working woman in the European metal scene, the foxier female equivalent of U.D.O’s Udo Dirkschneider. So it didn’t exactly surprise me that this morning, while seeking out lineup information for next year’s Wacken Open Air festival, I chanced upon this tasty newsworthy morsel:

Germanys rocklady nr. 1 will celebrate her 2500 show on 03/13/2010 in Düsseldorf – and YOU have the chance to be there.

Yes, you read right. Doro has played nearly 2,500 concerts! Gosh, I might have to start looking for cheap airfare! Anyway, for those of you who can’t wait until March, Doro has a number of European tour dates coming up next month, which I conveniently list for you below.
