Mitch Malloy, who in 1996 very briefly worked with Van Halen in 1996, will celebrate Eddie Van Halen’s musical legacy in concert next month.

“Mitch Malloy’s Van Halen Experience” is set to take place on Saturday, October 9th at Mattie Kelly Arts Village in Destin, Florida from 5:30 PM to 10 PM CDT. A portion of the proceeds will go to the new Destin High School Music Program.

Here is what the event’s ticketing website Eventbrite.com has to say about the event:

Mitch Malloy, the lead singer of iconic rock band Great White, hit solo artist, awarding-winning songwriter and producer, was also chosen to replace Sammy Hagar in Van Halen. Soon after Eddie’s death, Rolling Stone Magazine reached out to Mitch to gain insight into his time with the band. Mitch’s story was so intriguing that his interview evolved into a feature for Rolling Stone . For years fans have asked Mitch to perform Van Halen so they can have a glimpse into what the legendary band would have sounded like with Mitch fronting. These requests keeping pouring in, so…For one night only, Mitch will be hosting a Celebration of Van Halen with an A-List band.

Malloy told Rolling Stone ‘s Brian Hiatt back in February that his time with the group came shortly after the band had split from Sammy Hagar but before Gary Cherone took over as the lead singer. Malloy had enjoyed some early-’90s success with a pair of solo records and moved to Nashville where he was writing for others and producing when he initially got a call from the assistant of Van Halen’s manager. Some of Malloy’s past music had been passed on to the group’s manager by the assistant, and he was asked to come in for a visit.

Malloy said, “It was like, ‘OK, you can’t repeat anything that we’re about to tell you. Please sit down. Sammy has been fired, and it’s very top-secret.’ And I was like, ‘Holy shit.’ In fact, when I got there, one of the first things Ed said was, ‘This isn’t an audition. We just want to hang out.’ And I just kind of laughed. Like, of course, it’s an audition. I’m just Mitch Malloy and they’re Van Halen.”

Malloy eventually played some music with Van Halen beginning with “Panama”, “Don’t Tell Me What Love Can Do” and “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love.” After a second day with the group, Eddie played him some of the instrumental versions of songs from what they were planning for the next album.

On the third day Malloy was informed by Eddie Van Halen that he had the gig.

“It was an amazing moment in my life that I will never forget,” Malloy said. “The door closes behind him and he doesn’t step forward. He stays where he is. So I’m sitting in the chair behind the console and he’s maybe 8 feet away, at the front door to the control room, which leads outside. He stops and he goes, ‘Well, we just had a meeting.’ He goes, ‘You’re the nicest guy I’ve ever met. Best singer I’ve ever heard in my life. Congratulations, you’re in the band.'”

But Malloy’s time as singer of Van Halen didn’t last long. After viewing Van Halen’s surprise appearance with David Lee Roth at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, Malloy decided to decline the offer.

“That moment that Roth walked out behind them, I knew it was over,” said Malloy. “I am not going to be in Van Halen. I just knew somehow. And so that was it for me. I was just like, ‘That’s it. This can’t happen now.’ I just knew it. It was just … a wall came down. But it just felt like it was over, somehow. It was like, ‘This can’t work now.’ Not because people won’t accept me. But there’s just something else going on that I didn’t even fully understand at the time. You know what I mean? It was like a knife sliced through and just, it was over. I think it’s the only time it’s ever happened to me in my life, where it was that definitive. And I had a lot going on at the time, aside from Van Halen. Real promise with my career moving forward. So it wasn’t, for me, my only thing. I wasn’t like, ‘Oh, my God! This has got to happen,’ kind of thing. Of course, I really did want it to happen. But who wouldn’t?”

In 2018, Malloy joined Great White. He relocated to Destin, Florida from Nashville, Tennessee in 2019.

It’s tough to take a (has-been) band seriously if they don’t even proofread their “official” press release for typos and spelling mistakes…

I’m sure Mitch will do great work. Anyone notice BEST BUY no longer sells CDs? I miss looking around at CDs. The new APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION sounds great. I got it at WALMART. Are there still 2 GREAT WHITES?

“only” on their third lead singer?

Man, the guy’s got to be eternally kicking himself for letting Gary Cherone take the VH gig. Guess he’s got to take something.

I did enjoy hearing Mitch’s experience about nearly being in VH. It sounds like he was as close as you can get to being in the band, without actually getting in it. That must have been a very strange experience, especially being told it was a no go after all.

‘Terry has been released to join his other projects’.

Funny how he didn’t see it that way.

Did Van Halen Have a Fourth Singer? Mitch Malloy Tells His Story

By Brian Hiatt

Brian Hiatt

When Eddie Van Halen , Michael Anthony, and Alex Van Halen stepped onstage with their estranged singer David Lee Roth for the first time in 12 years at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, no one was more shocked than Mitch Malloy. Malloy, a North Dakota native with central-casting Nordic-rock-god looks and a big, radio-ready voice, says he was under every impression that Van Halen had chosen him as their new singer in the wake of Sammy Hagar ‘s departure from the band. Instead, within a few weeks, Extreme frontman Gary Cherone was announced as Van Halen’s new frontman.

Malloy, now the lead singer for Great White and a brand-new band called Malloy, stayed silent about his experience until he revealed some of it in a mini-documentary  several years back. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, he shared his most detailed account yet of his Van Halen adventure, following our  memorial coverage for Eddie Van Halen, who died last October. Here’s his story, in his own words, which he backed up with recordings and other documentation. 

My first solo record [including the single “Anything at All”] came out in 1992; my second record came out in 1994 and I moved to Nashville. I had been there to write songs for the second album. And it was just an easier, more chilled-out vibe. It kind of reminded me more of where I grew up. I got off of RCA Records, and I was writing and producing. I got a big, nice songwriting deal and was doing really well and had a lot of success in Nashville doing that. But I wasn’t really a country-leaning artist ever. I was producing country artists and there was some consideration for me to do country. I kind of stuck my toe in it a bit, but I don’t know, I’m just not country.

So I was in Nashville. I was really liking being there; I’d never been in a musical community like that. Then to get that call to go into the rock world in such a huge way was a little bit like, “Huh?”

It was all very secret phone calls and all that stuff, that cloak-and-dagger stuff that goes on behind the scenes in major corporations or major bands, or whatever. The first guy that called me was Steve Hoffman, Van Halen’s manager’s assistant, who used to be my day-to-day guy. That’s a big part of how that happened, because Steve went to Toronto to work for [longtime Rush manager] Ray Danniels, and shortly after that, Ray started managing Van Halen. So Steve mentioned to him, “Hey, there’s this guy I used to work with named Mitch Malloy who just moved to Nashville — he’s the perfect guy for Van Halen.” They played some of my music and my “Anything at All” video, and apparently they were like, “Holy crap. He’s like a combination of Hagar and Roth. It’s perfect.”

It was like, “OK, you can’t repeat anything that we’re about to tell you. Please sit down. Sammy has been fired and it’s very top-secret.” And I was like, “Holy shit.”

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

In fact, when I got there, one of the first things Ed said was, “This isn’t an audition. We just want to hang out.” And I just kind of laughed. Like, of course, it’s an audition. I’m just Mitch Malloy and they’re Van Halen.

They fly me up first class, and a limo took me all the way up to the top of the hill where [Van Halen’s home studio, 5150] was. When I pulled up, the band was lined up waiting for me. So I get out and they’re standing there. There’s Van Halen there to greet their new singer. It was frickin’ awesome.

So I got out of the limo and they’re like, “Hey.” I’m like, “Hey.” I’m like, “Holy shit, that’s Van Halen standing there waiting for me.” And so I get out and the first thing Ed did was hug me, and I have sunglasses on because we were in L.A., so he took my sunglasses off and looked in my eyes. He said, “Hey, I just had to see your eyes,” and then he puts the sunglasses back on.

He’s like, “Awesome. You ready to go?” I’m like, “I’m ready to go, man. Whatever you want to do.” He was like, “OK, well, let’s go shopping. You’re going to be here for a long time. So let’s go shopping and just buy two of everything that you need.” So that’s the first thing we did.

And then we played some music. We did it right away. We went right into it. He’s like, “Do you want to chill out? Do you need time?” I’m like, “No, let’s go. I’m ready.”

So Al is out in his drum room where they record the records. His drums are just set up out there in the big room, in the studio. And Ed had four 4 x 12 cabinets set up in a square pointing at each other and he had four mics on every cabinet. And I made the mistake of being out there for about two seconds when he was playing. It was louder than God.

Alex Van Halen declined to comment for this story. Michael Anthony says through a publicist that “a lot of what happened with Mitch Malloy he wasn’t involved with at the time.”

And I was using an SM57 too, which is the biggest piece-of-crap microphone ever. I never used one even in high school and here I am, I’m auditioning for Van Halen, through an SM57. I mean, I was an afterthought. They hand me a 57 and you can’t even really hear me, and it’s like, “What’s going on? This is Van Halen. This is supposed to be first class.”

But it was amazing, because, of course, they sounded exactly like Van Halen, because they are. And they were playing through the studio where they made their records. So basically, it’s almost like a Van Halen record coming at you through those speakers. So for me, the adrenaline was like, “Oh, my God.” I don’t think I was actually touching the ground.

Ed goes, “What do you want to start with?” And he goes, “God, I’m nervous.” I just looked at him like, “Really? Come on.” Like, “You don’t get to say that to me.” You know what I mean? Like, “ You’re nervous? Really? Come on. You’re actually Eddie Van Halen. I’m not. You don’t get to be nervous.”

So anyway, he goes, “What do you want to start with?” And I’m like, “‘Panama,’ man, let’s go.”  It was “Panama,” “(Don’t Tell Me) What Love Can Do,” “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love.” We ran through those songs and that was kind of it. He seemed really happy. We had dinner and I got to hang out a little bit with Valerie when Ed was off doing something else, or whatever, and she was so nice. She invited me to go out with her in the morning. She said, “I have a trainer coming in the morning. Why don’t you come and work out with us?” I’m like, “That’d be great.” So I did that. And she said to me, “Eddie is really excited. He loves you. He’s really, really excited.” So it was kind of like, “You’re in.”

On the second day, he took me to the studio and he wanted to hear me on … What’s the big ballad, that piano ballad? “When It’s Love.”  He said, “Do you know it?” And I said, “No.” I said, “I didn’t learn it because you didn’t tell me to learn it, but I could sort of try to fumble through it. I’m sure I can sing the chorus.” And he’s like, “Well, OK, just do the best you can.”

So we went into the bigger room. There’s a grand piano in the big room and he started playing piano and I started singing. After the first chorus, he just stopped and stood up and he looked at me and he goes, “You’re better than Sammy.” And I was like, “Yeah, right.” You know what I mean? Like, whatever. I mean, the whole thing was just kind of surreal. I mean, taken out of context, a guy like me saying that, it’s going to sound terrible. I don’t want Sammy to hear that. So I don’t generally say that. But he was excited that he got a new guy that he’s excited about. That’s all it was. And, he would have said that about anybody. I remember when Gary came in and it was decided that Gary’s the guy and they announced it and everything, he was saying amazing things about Gary. That’s just how he is.

He played me [the instrumental versions of what became songs on Van Halen III. ] And,my reaction to it wasn’t really that positive. Not in the sense where I said anything bad, because I’m not completely stupid. I’m pretty polite, I think. So I was trying to find my way in. Keep in mind now, I’ve been writing constantly for years and co-writing a lot with a lot of people. And, I can’t really fake it. So if you play me some music that I’m not attracted to … I just wasn’t hearing it. I didn’t get it. He didn’t play me anything that I was excited about except one song. And he seemed almost pissed off that I was excited about the one song. It was the one that sounded the most like older Van Halen.

I think in his head, he was thinking, “Hmm. This guy isn’t hearing the new stuff.” And I wasn’t. I didn’t. I still don’t. I listened to Van Halen III once. I didn’t get it then and I don’t get it now.

Prior to playing it for me, he did talk about his addiction and he was telling me that he couldn’t write unless he was buzzed. And so he had a really dark phase when he went to AA and he stopped drinking and then he couldn’t write music. So he went to a therapist and the therapist got into it and he was able then to create music. “And this is what I created.” Poof! Like that! And then he played it for me and I was like, “Uhh …”

Then, on the third day, he told me I was in the band. That morning, the phone rang at the guest house, and they said, “Yep, they’re all meeting in the conference room, and they want you in the control room in 20 minutes.” So of course, I was there at about 8 o’clock, sitting there.

The door opened, and there was a silhouette of Ed, because the sun was shining and that’s when he told me I was in the band. It was an amazing moment in my life that I will never forget. The door closes behind him and he doesn’t step forward. He stays where he is. So I’m sitting in the chair behind the console and he’s maybe eight feet away, at the front door to the control room which leads outside. He stops and he goes, “Well, we just had a meeting.” He goes, “You’re the nicest guy I’ve ever met. Best singer I’ve ever heard in my life. Congratulations, you’re in the band.”

I jumped out of my chair and went around the console, went down to where he was. He put his hands on my shoulders, hugged me, kissed me on both cheeks, said, “Congratulations!” Turns and walks out of the room. I go back up, sit down again at the console and giggling … my body’s actually giggling. I can’t control it. I’m giggling like a 12-year-old girl, and I actually uttered the words, “I’m in Van Halen.” Through the giggle. And that was that.

At least for that moment, I was in the band. Ed said that to me and that happened. And I wish it was on video, but it’s not. But that happened. And I’ll take that to my grave.

So then we played some more. They had the music for “It’s the Right Time,” but it wasn’t “It’s the Right Time.” It was a just really, really bad song. He’d written it with two amazingly talented people, Glen Ballard and Desmond Child. You would think that this is going to be an amazing song. Well, it wasn’t a good song; it was a bad song. And I was like, “Uh, OK. Yeah, sure.” He wanted to hear me on that song. So I recorded myself on that song. So there’s a recording of me singing on that song and, and Al singing backgrounds. It’s cool.

Later, Ed handed me the music and goes, “Go rewrite this. This is crap. Go fix it.” It was the DAT [of Malloy’s rehearsals with Van Halen].  He goes, “Here, I want you to have this.” And he said, “Also, what I’ve put on here is a new song that’s not a song yet. I want you to take it and I want you finish the song and bring it back when you come back.” I completely trashed what they had and started over. All I used was what Ed wrote. I didn’t use the melody, the phrasing, nothing of what they had written. So that ended up being “It’s the Right Time.”

Anyway, Ed had told me numerous times, “We’re going to go do this thing. MTV wants us to go do this thing.” And he brought it up a couple of times. I remember one time specifically we were in the golf cart and we were going up to the studio. I think we’d maybe just had dinner. He had a golf cart and he would drive it up and down the hill, because he had a bad hip. He didn’t limp or anything, but he had a golf cart because, why not? I would too. In fact, I think I might get one.

To me, everything was new. And as far as I knew, I was the singer in the band and my whole life was about to change. So everything he said to me was new. Everything was exciting and everything was cool and everything was new and everything was great. So the way he would talk about the MTV thing, it seemed kind of negative. He seemed like he didn’t want to do it. But he didn’t mention anything about Roth being involved.

Shortly before Malloy’s time in Los Angeles, the band had temporarily reunited with David Lee Roth to record two songs for a greatest-hits package, “Me Wise Magic” and “Can’t Get This Stuff No More.”

He had played me the new Roth songs at a zillion decibels.  I didn’t have much to say. I’m really honest, and he got that right away. He knew that I wasn’t going to bullshit him.  And so I was just kind of like, “Hmm.” I didn’t want to be like, “This sucks.” Because I just got there. So I was indifferent. Like, “Wow, that was loud,” was probably what I said.

David Lee Roth is going to hate me if he reads this. But what Ed said was, he goes, “I’ve become a dentist,” and I was like, “What?” He goes, “Yeah, I’m a dentist. Getting that vocal out of Roth was like pulling teeth.” And I was like, “Oh, OK. I get it.” I chuckled. For me, I’m a massive fan and I just didn’t think it was that good.

Eddie kept bringing up the MTV thing and he was strange. His energy was a little weird every time he talked about it. And I didn’t understand why until the moment Roth walked out on the stage.

Despite Malloy’s belief that he had gotten the gig, the band apparently had second thoughts. Soon after he departed L.A., Gary Cherone flew in to begin auditions and rehearsals with Van Halen. By the time of the VMAs, Cherone had recorded two or three new songs with the band, he tells Rolling Stone through his manager. At the time, Malloy had no idea; he thought he was still in the band. he says.

By that time, I had come back to Nashville. I’m sitting, watching TV there by myself. It wasn’t good. I think literally, my jaw dropped.  So in that moment, I was shocked. And you know how sometimes as humans we just know some things? You just know it. You don’t have to say it. Nobody has to say anything. People just know things. And that moment that Roth walked out behind them, I knew it was over. I am not going to be in Van Halen.

I just knew somehow. And so that was it for me. I was just like, “That’s it. This can’t happen now.” I just knew it. It was just … a wall came down. But it just felt like it was over, somehow. It was like, “This can’t work now.” Not because people won’t accept me. But there’s just something else going on that I didn’t even fully understand at the time. You know what I mean?

It was like a knife sliced through and just, it was over. I think it’s the only time it’s ever happened to me in my life, where it was that definitive. And I had a lot going on at the time, aside from Van Halen. Real promise with my career moving forward. So it wasn’t, for me, my only thing. I wasn’t like, “Oh, my God! This has got to happen,” kind of thing. Of course, I really did want it to happen. But who wouldn’t?

I went to my manager. I just said, “I don’t think that this can happen now. And it just feels like it’s over.” And he said, “I agree.” And I said, “I think we should let them know and I think probably you should do it because you’re my manager.” And he said, “OK. Yeah. I’ll write them a letter.”  And he sent it and that was that.

When they got the letter, my friend Steve called me, freaking out. He’s like, “What are you doing?” And I’m like, “What do you mean, what am I doing?” And he goes, “Dude! They love you!” And I was like, “Oh, really? They have a funny way of showing it. If that’s love, wow … I hope they never get mad at me.” So it was like that. He goes, “It’s not over!” And I said, “Steve, I think it’s over, man.” He goes, “It’s not over! It’s not over! I’m going to have Ed call you and blah, blah, blah.”

Van Halen’s then-manager, Ray Danniels, confirms that he got the letter — and that he didn’t realize until he saw it that Malloy had been left with the impression he had the gig.

And it was just really strained and really weird and I was really pissed. I just said, “You know what? I don’t need this in my life, man. If they’re going to start treating me like this right from the get-go, I don’t know, man. I don’t know if I can hang with that. Honestly, I just don’t think it’s a good idea.”

Ed called me to apologize. He said that he was sorry and he mostly talked about how horrible it was with Dave and that they got into a huge fight. And that he almost punched him out. And that was really it. That was the end of the conversation. It ended abruptly.

I’m just not really clear on how that all went down, why it went down. I mean, he told me, “Mitch, they made us do it. They told us that the only way they would support the new band is if we did this.” And I was like, “OK. I wish you had told me.”

Mike [Anthony] had given me his home number. So I called Mike and he apologized to me too. And I told Mike that I was out. That was before I spoke to Ed. I had said, “Mike, I don’t think it could work now.” And you know what Mike said to me? He goes, “Man, I wish we had never had done that.” Which was a nice thing for Mike to say to me. He was sorry. He felt like it was a mistake.

And it’s funny because I think pretty much everybody thought it was a mistake, in retrospect, right? It just didn’t make any sense, except for the corporate overlords of MTV. They benefited from it. But they still crapped out. They’re not even MTV anymore. So, screw them.

I know that Ed tried to do some songwriting with Gary before me. Before I got there. Gary hadn’t been there yet, but they had him audition by doing some songwriting and singing. Ed goes, “There’s this guy, Gary, and he’s got a little bit of a success, little bit of a history. I’m not sure if I like that. I like the fact that you’re coming out of nowhere.”

On October 2nd, 1996, David Lee Roth released an open letter revealing that Van Halen had “auditioned other singers.” Two days later, Van Halen revealed that “Gary Cherone is 99 percent locked in as lead singer.”

To be honest, when I pulled out, they didn’t come after me. They could have. They didn’t go, “Oh, please, oh, please. We’ll never lie to you again.” You know what I mean? There was none of that. There was none of that. It was done. It was over.

For me, when I heard about Gary, it was like, “Oh, yeah. Of course.” He was the only guy, the only other guy in the mix, so to speak. He was the only other person they spoke about, and I knew Ray managed him. And so, it was like, “Well, yeah. That makes perfect sense.”

Danniels says it was a widespread misconception that he was the one pushing to get Cherone in Van Halen; in fact, he had hoped Cherone would join Queen. Before either Malloy or Cherone was in the mix, Eddie and Alex Van Halen briefly had their sights on a female singer, Sass Jordan; after that, several “big-name” singers reached out, but the band wasn’t interested, according to Danniels.

When Van Halen played Nashville [in 1998, with Cherone on lead vocals], they invited me to come. So I met them at the hotel.  I went to the afternoon soundcheck with them and I was with them the whole day and during the show. I had known Gary since maybe 1989, and Gary, I’ve got to say, could not have been more gracious or more classy and more nice than he was that night. He was absolutely above and beyond the epitome of class, grace, and character. To the point where I don’t know if I could have done what he did. I mean, he was so nice. He was not threatened. At all.

Ed couldn’t have been nicer. Spirits seemed good and everything backstage was good. Relations seemed good and everything. But I will say, after the show, Ed was mad. He didn’t feel like they got the response they deserved from the audience and he seemed frustrated. Really frustrated by that. He was saying all kinds of expletives.

For me, it was a good feeling. I could have been up there singing with them. So that made me feel kind of successful in a way, like that’s success to a degree. I was floating out of that place that night, at the end of the night.

We stayed in touch after that. I sent Ed some music I was working on; he loved it. Said some amazing things to me about my ability, and sent me a check. He’s like, “I’m going to help you.” He goes, “I’ll have my accountant send you a check.” And I was like, “Ed, you don’t have to do that. I don’t want your money. I’ll figure it out.” He goes, “No, I want to do it.”

He goes, “Mitch, my accountant tells me I have money problems. I got too much money.” I laughed. And he sent me a check. So I was able to finish recording. To have him believe in me was pretty amazing, I would say.

The day that Gary was no longer in the band, Ed called me, and he was crying, actually. He was really upset.

Ed was a pretty calculated guy and he was really smart. And so the fact that he was calling me right as Gary has gone, was like, “Oh, here we go again!” kind of thing. It had been while since we had spoken. So, for him to be calling and then saying Gary is no longer in the band was like, “Oh, that’s why you’re calling!” So, this is going on for days. It was like, “Oh, there’s my buddy Ed calling me again.” He would call me three times a day, some days.  One day he says, “So Mitch, what do you think I should do?”

And I was like, “Gulp! Here it is. …” And I said, “You want my honest opinion?” He goes, “Of course I want your honest opinion. We’re friends! I don’t want you to bullshit me. That’s why I like you, because you never bullshit me.” And I said, “OK. Here’s the thing, I think you need to get Dave back.” And he just lost it. He went coo-coo crazy. He just went, like, “I told you what Dave said to me!” The whole MTV thing, that whole fight between them and Dave.

So he reiterated that. “I told you what what he did! I told you how I feel about him!” and “I can’t even believe you would say that to me!”

And I was just like, “Whoa! You asked my honest opinion, man.” He was like, “Yeah, but, I never thought you’d say that.” And I was like, “Oh, I’m sorry. But that’s how I feel. I think that that’s the right thing for the band. I think that’s what the fans want. And I’m a fan and you asked and that’s what I think!” And he was really upset. That was a brief conversation and yeah … So there it is. He listened to me.

I don’t think he ever really got over the fact I said that to him. And I’ve had friends close to the situation tell me, “That was his way of asking you back and you basically slapped him in the face by saying that.” And I’m like, “I don’t know. Maybe.” But he was really hurt by it. And I didn’t mean to hurt him by it. I wasn’t aware that he was asking me to be back in the band. He didn’t say that. He was just asking me a question. Had I thought he was asking me, “Do you want to be in the band?” I think I might have said yes.

What doesn’t make sense is why would he react so negatively to me saying, “Get Dave back,” if he wasn’t, in the back of his mind, thinking, I want Mitch to be in the band. I mean, that does make sense. But I’m not going to sit here and tell you that that’s a fact, because I don’t know it to be a fact.

After that, I think we just drifted. I wasn’t really calling him much. I wasn’t really aware of what he was doing. I became buddies with [Toto guitarist] Steve Lukather online, not knowing that Steve was friends with Ed. And so, I would hear about Ed a little bit from Steve. Or I would just tell Steve, “Hey, tell him I said hi.” And then he would say, “Yeah, he said hi,” and whatever. But we didn’t really speak.

You know, I don’t talk about this much. So when I get asked about it, it’s kind of fun to talk about it because I do not usually harp on it.  I did not want to make it who I was. I did not want to be, “That’s the Van Halen guy.” I thought that wasn’t a cool thing to do.

But then the years passed and I became a dad. And I thought finally, you know what? It’s good for my kid to learn when she grows up. And it’s a good thing for the fans to know that it happened.

INTERVIEW: MITCH MALLOY – June 2023

mitch malloy tour

According to a recent press release: “Mitch Malloy continues to rock the night away burning the midnight oil! After several years as the frontman for the iconic rock band Great White, Mitch returned to the studio writing and recording his new album, ‘THE LAST SONG.’ The album will launch with an exclusive, limited release collector’s edition vinyl through a partnership with SING. Pre-sales for the vinyl release will go on sale May 3, 2023. An international release will follow in June.” We get Mitch to discuss new music and much more…

Toddstar: Mitch, thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule.

Mitch: Thanks for asking.

Toddstar: You have a disc dropping on us all. I think there’s some pre-orders out there now, and there’s rumors of a proper release coming soon of The Last Song . What can you tell us about this album, Mitch, when your fans are listening that they might not pick up the first or second time they run through these tracks?

Mitch: Well, first, it’s not a rumor. Right now there’s a presale at mitchmalloy.com . You can get it if you’re a vinyl guy. It’s my first ever time doing vinyl, but that’s on presale right now. It’s a large bundle you get with the vinyl… you get a live concert. There’s a golden ticket being drawn, and you get a live Zoom concert with me where you can ask me questions and I’ll sing you songs. There’s a couple of acoustic live video versions that only those people get of two of the songs. There’s a signed poster, a signed picture, guitar picks, and a signed CD. You get the downloads digitally immediately of the album when you buy the bundle. If you want the record right now, you can go buy it. On July 7th, the CD comes out. That will be the official release, and everything will be out, will be off presale, and will be in the regular market. All that info first, right? I got that out of the way.  So, what about it that if people miss that I want them to know? That’s a personal question, isn’t it? I’m not sure I can impart that information to somebody, because music is so personal, right? People listen to things, and they get things that I would never get, and I get things that they would never get. They should just know that I had a blast making the record. I make my records all by myself, which is an insanely insane process. It’s something that people don’t generally do, and there’s a reason for that. It’s a lot of fun. I had a blast doing it, and if I ever do it again, I think that’s the way I’ll do it.

Toddstar: Well, and you mentioned you do this all yourself, and this isn’t your first foray. Your last solo disc was Making Noise . How different was the process now, not only with the changes in technology that there’s been in the last six or seven years, but some of the restrictions and changes in the whole process after the last couple years of everything just being canceled and shut down? What were some of your hurdles this time around?

Mitch: Everything was better this time. I have upgraded the studio. Every five to ten years, I upgrade things and change things around a bit, and the technology gets a little bit better. I’ve been doing this for 47 years. I’ve had a home studio for 47 years and things have changed a lot. I’ve had pretty much every kind of scenario that was available in all that time. I’m constantly upgrading and things have gotten smaller and more efficient. I’m doing things the same. I still have to sing the song. I still have to play the guitar. I have to play the bass, the keyboards, the drum, everything. That’s one thing that annoys me, when people find out that I made records by myself, they’re like, “Oh yeah, technology now, you can do that.” I’m like, “Excuse me? What do you mean by that?” Because I still have to write the song, I have to perform the song on every instrument, and then I have to mix it. I still have the same amount of work. It’s just more efficient now. It doesn’t take as long to get a guitar sound, a drum sound, or a keyboard sound because they’re there at my fingertips now. That part is way better. The Making Noise record was the first time I ever jumped off the ledge there, went crazy, and made a record by myself. I never thought I would do that; it was out of necessity that I did it. I didn’t have time to book the players that I wanted, and they weren’t available. I was in a hurry. I had a tour coming up and the promoter told me I had to have a new record. I had just produced three bands. I was exhausted. I had been writing and playing various instruments on their records, and I just didn’t think I had it in me. “How am I going to come up with an entire record by myself, record it myself, and have it done by the tour? That’s insane.” But I did it. Sometimes you can do things you don’t think you can do, and it feels good when you do that. It’s like climbing a mountain. So, I knew I could do it again. I had a lot more peace in entering this process and just knowing that I’d be fine and that I could do it. It was easier this time because I have a little bit better gear, better guitars, everything. It was a blast.

mitch malloy tour

Toddstar: I’ve been able to listen to it top to bottom for some time now, and in listening through it, there’s some songs… there’s rock and roll on there. It’s how you responded when I asked how you were doing. “Rock and roll.” I love the album and that it kicks off with “I’m Living In Paradise.” It sets the mood for the album, not only sonically but lyrically. Going through the tracklist, there are also songs that you can tell are very personal. What’s it like for you as a songwriter to really strip things down and put yourself out there in a raw state for your fans?

Mitch: Well, that’s part of being an artist and a songwriter. I occasionally hear somebody young on social media, and I’ll send them a nice note and say things to them that I wish somebody had said to me, because why not? You can do that with social media. I like doing that. What I tell them is, “Stay vulnerable, be brave, be real, and be honest. Don’t be afraid to show yourself because that’s what people want. What people want in art is they want to hear something insanely personal. They want to be moved. People want to emote. They want to feel something. That’s why they’re listening to the music. So, you better jam pack emotion into that music for them.” It’s therapeutic, honestly, to be able to do that. Even if it’s a bass part, make it emotional, make them feel something with that bass part right down to the lyric, the melody, and everything. It’s all about being vulnerable, being real, and being honest. I can hear and feel and everything when people aren’t, and it drives me nuts. When people make records, when people make music, it’s like, “Okay, this is the egotistical record.” It’s like, “.”Just because you can play that, does that mean that it’s best for the song, just because it’s impressive to hear.” It’s a good question. For me, music is all about that vulnerability and that emotion.

Toddstar: The rawness… that’s what struck me about this album. Even the rockers like the opening song, and then you’ve got my favorite, which is “My Pleasure,” there’s still a rawness to the lyrics, even though it’s not a slowed down acoustic piece. That’s what I really appreciate about the record, Mitch.

Mitch: Thank you.

Toddstar: Releases used to be followed by tour cycles. That has changed over time. With you eyeing a tour and looking at things like that, what are the song or two from this release that you really want to get out there and play? Is there a specific song or two that still strikes you as hard as it did when you wrote or recorded it?

Mitch: I did a private acoustic show about two years ago during the lockdown. I had just written “Using This Song,” which is the first ballad on the record. I sang it at the end of the show. Actually, I ended with, “Twice Shy,” and everybody went crazy. Then I said, “I have one more song and it’s a whole different vibe.” I sang “Using This Song,” and you could hear a pin drop. And people asked me after that, “What was that last song you did?” So that’s one of them in the ballad sense. The other one is “One of a Kind,” which I put out as the first single. There’s something about that riff, that swagger, and that vibe that I love, and I think is really going to work live. I’m not going to be able to do a lot of the new stuff live because people haven’t heard it. If I had to choose one or two songs, those would be it. I also agree, I love “My Pleasure.” I love “Building A Bridge.” I love “Living in Paradise,” which I think it going to be the second single. We’re going to shoot a video for that.

Toddstar: There aren’t any sleepers on this disc, but that one – “Living In Paradise” – like I said earlier, it just sets the mood and sets the bar for me. The minute I hear that, I’m ready to roll through the next nine tracks without thinking twice. It’s a cool setup. You’ve done a lot in your career. As you said, you’ve been doing this over 40 years now. You alluded to a question I normally hit and that’s what advice would you give yourself if you had the chance to go back and talk to Mitch 40 years ago? You said to “Stay vulnerable.” With that same focus in mind, if you could go back, Mitch, and take on one or two instances in your professional career and take another stab at them, even if it didn’t change the end result, is there anything you’d like to go back and revisit?

mitch malloy tour

Mitch: It’s impossible now, but I would love to be with Ed (Van Halen) again in a room and writing. I loved him so much and he loved me. We were pals, and he was amazing, which everybody knows. But they didn’t know him. I got to be his friend. That would be special for me to be able to take another whack at that. I know it would work. I do. He said that very thing to me later. He said, “Mitch, I know it would have worked if we had done it.” I said, “I appreciate you saying that.” That would be the one. I’m not a would have, should have, or could have kind of guy. I’m in this moment, and I don’t really think back about things, mistakes I made, except for as a father, because I have a 15-year-old girl, so sometimes I think back and think, “Did I do this right? Did I do that right?” as it pertains to her. As things pertain to me, I don’t really do that because I think it’s a negative energy, waste of time.

Toddstar: I love the sentiment that you had in there that you didn’t say, “Yes, I’d love to go back and redo a whole scenario.” You specifically went to, “I’d have liked to have been in a room and done some songwriting and just be in the moment.” To me that means so much more than, “Oh, I wish I could have played on that album or done that tour.” It lends to who you are as a performer, as a songwriter, as an artist, not just as, to use your term from earlier, the ego stroke type situation. I like the fact that throughout this album you can hear some of your influences. You brought up Ed and the Van Halen thing. To me, “One Of A Kind” has that vibe in it. You’ve got “Sometimes Love” and “I’ll Find A Way” that for me go back to your debut solo disc from a sonic vibe. How important is it to you to link those certain points throughout your career while showing the growth at the same time? Because we all know artists that found their sound and they stick with that. With this release, you know it’s Mitch Malloy, but there’s growth How important is it for you to show that, “This is who I was. This is who I am, and it’s okay to be both”?

Mitch: You’re making me really feel good, to be honest. I really appreciate you saying that because for me, I’m always confused by some of my heroes putting out new music that isn’t even close to as good as their old music. I don’t get it. There are probably people who are going to say that about me, and they have. People say, “Your first album was your best.” That always hurts a little bit when I hear that because for me, it’s all about the growth. So, I appreciate you saying that. I feel like this record is a huge leap forward in growth as an artist. You’re going to hear elements of my first album, because… guess what? That first album was me. That’s what I like. I’m sitting there going, “No, I don’t like that. I like this.” I co-produced that record. I didn’t get credit for it, but I was sitting there, I didn’t even know what producing was at the time. I’m going, “No, here, play this guitar.” That’s why with my music, there’s a thread from there to here, because it’s all me. You like what you like. I think that when you’re 61, you still like the same things you liked when you were 20, at least hopefully. I still like the same guitar sound I like. In fact, on this record, I was finally able to achieve as good of guitar sounds as we got on my first album. It’s the first time ever that that’s happened. I’ve been trying like hell at this, and I feel like I got there.

Toddstar: It’s cool to get that insight because, as you mentioned and as I mentioned, there’s just some albums that should have been rethought before they were dropped.

Mitch: There’s a lot of those albums.

Toddstar: I’ve been listening to music since the ’70s, and I can tell you the same thing regarding certain artists and first albums or impressions. I understand when people tell you, “Oh, your first album is your best one,” because to me, music is a stamp in time.

Mitch: Well, yeah.

mitch malloy tour

Toddstar: It’s part of my fabric. So, I might like a certain song from a certain place, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t absolutely love something that came after it. I know you’re a busy man and I want to let you go so you can do what you have to do, hopefully get the word out about this great album.

Mitch: Yeah, that’s what we’re doing now. I’ve probably done thirty interviews, honestly.

Toddstar: I asked you to pick out a couple tracks from this one that you really want to play live. Going back through your catalog, at the end of the day if one song title of yours was to be your epitaph, what would it be?

Mitch: “One Of A Kind.” I’ve had close, close friends tell me, musician friends, “I think this is the best record you’ve ever made, but I don’t think it’s the best song you’ve ever written.” And I’m like, “Well, okay, that’s fine. That’s your opinion.” For me, the record is the song and the production, and it’s everything all at once. For me, that’s my favorite one. It’s my favorite. When it comes out of the speakers, I’m like, “Yes!” I don’t ever do that. I’m so picky. I’ll hear things, records, I hate some of the records that I made. I just listen to them, I cringe, and I’m like, “Oh, why did I put that out? Oh, I had to. That’s why.” When “One Of A Kind” pumps through the speakers, even in my phone, I just start to giggle and fist pumping. So, I’d have to say that one.

Toddstar: I look forward to seeing what happens when this thing hits the masses and everybody can wrap their hands and ears around it. Even more than that, I really hope this will lead to some tour dates. Up here in Detroit, we’d love to see you, Mitch. I would love to finally see a Mitch Malloy live show. I’ve never had the honor, even though I’ve been listening to you since the early ’90s. We wish you well with this album and the presale. I hope that on July 7th, this thing just goes crazy, and we get another chance to talk to you once you’re out on the road.

Mitch: Stay in touch and maybe we can make some live synergy happen there.

Toddstar: Sounds good to me, Mitch.

MITCH MALLOY Opens Up About His Exit From GREAT WHITE: 'It Wasn't Really Fun Anymore'

Mitch Malloy has opened up about his departure from GREAT WHITE , explaining that being in the band "wasn't really fun anymore."

Malloy 's exit from GREAT WHITE was announced in February 2022. He had been in GREAT WHITE for nearly four years, having joined the group in 2018 following the dismissal of Terry Ilous . Mitch was initially replaced by Andrew Freeman ( LAST IN LINE ),who sang for GREAT WHITE for only five months before Brett Carlisle became the band's latest vocalist.

Malloy discussed his split with GREAT WHITE in a new interview with Thomas S. Orwat, Jr. of Rock Interview Series . He said about his decision to leave (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET ): "I actually left a couple of times.

"It was a frustrating situation for me for a lot of different reasons that I don't need to really get into.

"It's too easy to talk about bad stuff. I just prefer not to do it," he explained.

"So, yeah, I wasn't happy. It wasn't really fun anymore. And it was a lot of work — hard work. One of the hardest jobs I've ever had, actually. People don't understand that, 'cause they see you on stage and they see all this wonderful… The crowd's there… They don't see what we had to do to get there. So it was a very difficult way to live. And I did not enjoy that aspect of it. It was just really, really hard."

Mitch continued: "It's kind of a long story, and I guess people are probably interested in hearing my version of it. But I don't know… I just don't really feel like that's needed. And I don't wanna hurt their fans as well by saying negative things.

"When you're in a band, it's a relationship, like the old cliché, and you don't always get along. It's five guys and different opinions. It was tough. It was time for me to go."

Malloy went on to say that "three" of the members of GREAT WHITE "are equal" partners and they call all the shots when it comes to the band's business affairs.

"I was always shocked when they asked me my opinion on anything," the 61-year-old Mitch said. "One time [drummer] Audie [ Desbrow ] asked me what I thought the color of the new backdrop should be, and I was shocked . [ Laughs ] And I gave him my opinion, but I was so shocked that he asked me.

"So I didn't really have anything to do with anything except for my performance leading that band on stage," he continued. "That was my job, that's how I saw it, and that's something that they couldn't mess with. That's what I did, and I was gonna do that how I do it. And that's the only way you can do it successfully, is if you do it how you do it. Then it's real. The crowd can tell it's real. They're, like, 'Wow, he's into it.' And I was. That was real. The shows were fantastic. That part was awesome."

Malloy added: "Oh, well. I'm appreciative of the time with them and loved aspects of it — loved ."

In a June 2022 interview with Dr. Music , GREAT WHITE guitarist Mark Kendall stated about Mitch 's departure: "We were going in separate ways in the sense that he was always by himself; he didn't really talk to us much. He just kind of showed up… That's just not the way a band works, as far as we're concerned. He's a wonderful singer. I don't think he's used to him not being in full control of everything because he's been a solo artist for so many years. He's a sweet guy. I really liked him. I think a few of our songs are a little out of his range, so it's a little bit of a struggle. But nothing real heavy — no big, huge fights. Nothing ever came to fisticuffs, if you will. [ Laughs ] So it wasn't a case of that."

Malloy has just released a new solo album, "The Last Song" .

In addition to being an artist, Mitch is no stranger to the studio, and has worked with a variety of artists, labels, and brands from Taylor Swift , Boys Like Girls , Kenny Loggins , Craig Morgan and Sony Music , to singer/songwriters Victoria Show , Gary Burr and Billy Falcon , and even voiceover work for Outdoor Channel , Field & Stream and many more. Mitch has even been the voice for Starburst candy.

Mitch is also an award-winning songwriter, and has written with legendary songwriters like Jim Weatherly , Richard Lee , Mike Reid , Desmond Child , Dennis Morgan , Victoria Shaw and Gray Burr . He's been signed to publishing deals with Warner Chappell and Chrysalis Music , but later launched his own publishing company to control his copyrights. Mitch loves the craft of songwriting — telling a story and resonating with his audience.

Mitch 's voice has been highly sought after as a frontman for legendary acts as well as a guest vocalist on other artists' projects. In the mid-1990s, Mitch was asked to replace Sammy Hagar as lead singer for VAN HALEN . But after spending time and recording with the band, the collaboration ended.
