She's definitely the one who stepped it up and made them more than a cute, Ramones novelty act. At a time when every other band was relying on sextuple rectifiers to be heavy, she went backwards in time to full Guitar God status. Fact is, I was just bitching whoever edited this video has no idea what people want to watch. "Guitar solo - let's cut away to a full crowd shot!"

Not in Australia they didnt

Yeah crowd looks dead…..

And now she’s a lawyer who helps get wrongfully convicted people off death row.

The saying goes: Torry Castellanos hits hard

Agree 100%. How they're not huge stars (except in our minds) is a mystery to me.

I wish more ppl were dancing instead of standing lifeless. This performance was CRUSHING. AH, no one pits like the 80s kids. I’m a 80s kid.

I'd say L7 is, but The Donnas are great.

Girlschool !!!

The runaways

Big time. She's fun to watch.

Totally agree with you. I've always felt that Torry Castellano should be, and should have always been, talked about when discussing bada*s drummers. Even though she had to leave the band in 2009, and then the band called it quits in 2012, always have wondered whatever happened to her, and the other 3 ladies, too.

Screwed up her rotator cuff, though.

@@paulharding706 Very true, unfortunately. She did wear herself out, especially some parts of her own body, but she was still, without a doubt, a bada*s drummer, though. I know a lot of guitarists, and other performers within bands, too, wear themselves out, especially body wise as well, but drummers, in general, don't get enough credit, and have a much harder job than a lot of people realize. I give them all major credit, and props, too, because they all wear their bodies out, just to beat the h**l out of those drums, and to make the s**t being played sound that much better. 🙂👍🤘

@@mikevogler5455 Torry went to Stamford, then Harvard law school, and became a corporate lawyer. Brett was still making music for a while, I'm not sure if she still is. I'm not sure what happened to Maya and Allison. It would be cool if they did a reunion tour, but I'm not sure Torry would want to risk hurting her shoulder again.

When I found out they were all self taught I thought that was awesome. Then I found out the drummer Tori had to leave the band and have surgery bc the way she played was hurting her and I became sad.

met Nia Lovelis...

Agreed. Torry’s promising career was so sadly cut short. Otherwise, The Donnas might still be around today and Torry truly would’ve been one of the best drummers in rock history. But they came to the painful truth: No Torry, No Donnas.

Yeah, unfortunately it was a catch 22. It was her crazed style that gave them the energy on stage; but it also broke her body because it's unsustainable in the long run. After her surgery and rehab she calmed her style down, but the concerts weren't the same...

Read her bio.. she is smart AF.

yup

Me too!

This. Since I found this, I watch almost every day. Wish I had seen them live ...

@@joehaas6129 Yes sir! Unfortunately, never saw them live myself, but man, they brought the energy.

That bass player ❤‍🔥💚💜

me too

Check out: “Do You Want To Hit It”, “Zero”, “You,re Not The One”

And Maya's hair and the big ear rings, she really looks great in this video!

Damn she plays like that dude from the muppets, Animal! Love that energy!

She even looks like running on the same spot.

I think she's cool too but recently I found out well besides the fact they haven't been together for a while but she doesn't even play drums anymore because she wasn't playing them right that's what they said she look like she was doing good to me I don't understand how you don't play the drums right and they said it messed her up

@@trudieristich795 gave herself shoulder/wrist tendonitis from holding them wrong. She retired from drums and went to stanford college, then Harvard Law - she's awesome.

She's self taught and had to stop playing she held her sticks wrong and did some serious damage to her wrists :(

Dude all of them are smoking hot

fuckin a

You seem to be forgetting the whole point. 4 self taught musicians/song writers.

As long as the liberal infection is treatable!

this is the corniest thing I've ever read on KZfaq, congrats. @Happies1881

I thought the drummer was named Donna.

Some idiot thinking they are titled-written like the Go-Go's

Yeah, but too bad she never learned proper way to hold drumsticks so she didn't mess up her shoulder.

It was sad she had to retire

couldn'ta said it better myself. perfect description of The Donnas.

and she never missed a beat!!😍
