Gail wrote a review of a performance I did with my former band, Drill, long before I met her. Her description of the performance and what I was trying to say at that time were illustrated with incredible perception and poetry. All new artists should be as lucky as I, to have her out there in the audience. I think my favorite quote she wrote was, “She looked like she was having her spinal chord removed without benefit of anesthesia.” Over the years, Gail has been accessible to me in a way few others have been. I feel truly blessed to call her my friend. She is a genius journalist, a rare breed.

If Gail say’s it, then you better listen up! She knows what she likes and is not afraid to tell you about it. This lady possesses some serious “hang factor.” Gail Worley ROCKS with the best of them!
Steven Gillis, Drummer, Filter
I had a great interview with Gail for Modern Drummer and it was obvious to me she came prepared. She asked specific questions about the songs and my playing on the latest Filter record, The Amalgamut, and seemed genuinely interested in my background as a musician. I could really sense she had a little extra enthusiasm for getting a great interview. I can't wait for the next one!
Ryan Roxie, Guitarist, Alice Cooper
No other journalist I know does more to carry the “torch of rock” than Gail, as she spreads the good word of Rock ‘N’ Roll music with all the artistic integrity and interesting factual description she gives to every piece. Because they’re usually idiots, and Gail makes them come off like geniuses, she reminds us why it’s fun to read about rock stars in the first place. Gail Worley truly is the second incarnation of Lady Rock. Thanks for shining down upon us all!
Judy Coccuza, Drummer, Cheap Chick, ex- Betty Blowtorch
Gail is one of the few journalists that actually care about their subject matter. I know this first hand. It's a refreshing change of pace to be dealing with someone who has knowledge of the bands and people she interviews and it truly shows in her work. I always enjoying reading her columns, because I know they are going to be truthful, humorous and not filled with ass kissing filler material the label wanted thrown in. She is the real deal!
