Gore Gore Girls: How about some hardcore_Detroit's girl rockers play no games
BY GRANT BRITT
There's really nobody around today to compare them to. Because of their intense, hard-rocking guitar attack and tough-sounding vocals, the Runaways come to mind, but Gore doesn't care for that. "The Runaways were groundbreaking, but they were just pure rock," she says. "There's more going on with Gore Gore Girls."
A connection does exist with the Runaways, however. The Runaways founder/producer Kim Fowley co-wrote "Pleasure Unit" with Gore and co-lead guitarist Marlene Hammerle. But Gore says Fowley won't get any further into the Gore organization. "Kim is extremely controlling," Gore says, explaining that he comes from an era when the producer and management molded artists for their projects. "Gore is distinctly my project, my concept," the guitarist says. "He said to me, 'Are you willing to be my Rhesus monkey?' And you can probably imagine my response to that question: 'Hell no!'"
