DORO’s recent success has earned them a current European tour with the mighty Motörhead.
And this means the band’s man-mountain of a bassist Nick Douglas has added a few more achievements to his already prolific CV.
The proud Warwick endorser gave us an on-the-road update before Doro’s show in Munich, Germany.
“It’s been a blast you know, just having the ability and the opportunity to play in front of so many people and win some more fans over - all in all that’s the biggest pleasure out of this.
“Last night we had Phil Campbell from Motörhead on stage with us jamming ‘Breaking The Law’ with us which was really cool,” Nick told us.
Whilst Nick has been playing alongside invincible rock stars, the bassist is also quick to champion his unbeatable Warwick gear.
“These basses are built like tanks and here I have a Buzzard. A slightly modified one, but I love it. I’m kinda tall - six foot four and a half inches - so this is a larger bass and it fits me better. I love it - It’s my big buddy and it’s very rock ‘n’ roll sounding,” he enthused.
Life after the Motörhead tour remains bright for Nick and the rest of Doro, who head out on their own headline European tour for the remainder of 2010 before gathering material for their next studio album.
The band will also play a special cruise ship show between Sweden and Finland, but as Nick amusingly reveals, playing at sea is not something new for him as he recalls a maritime tall tale.
“I did once years ago [play a show on a boat], but not with Doro. It was on the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey and I remember it being really wavy, so you were playing and doing this [rocks from side to side] and at some point I had to sit down but it was all fun, we were all laughing.
“The drums were all like [rocks from side to side again] you know, you had to hold them to stop them falling over. But this one will be different. It’s a much, much bigger boat and so I think they’ll have a bit more stability going on so I think we should be OK!”
