Mitch Malloy – The Last Song

Back in 1997 it was this () close that Mitch Malloy became the new singer in Van Halen after Sammy Hagar’s departure. That’s pretty cool. But David Lee Roth rejoined for a few minutes and then Gary Cherone (Extreme) got the part. I can’t help but to wonder what Malloy’s career would’ve looked like had he gotten that gig. Malloy’s self-titled debut album from 1992 has now gotten an almost iconic status in AOR circles and rightfully so because it’s awesome. But some albums with shifting quality followed that record and Malloy’s career took a bit of a halt. But since 2011 and his album II, the quality of his records has been very high. After Making Noise (2016) Malloy joined Great White as their singer but has since then left that band and his solo career is now back as his main focus.
