Van Halen Singer Audition Tape Leaks

Malloy was offered the VH gig after three days of jamming and hanging with the band at Eddie's 5150 studios. Ultimately, though, manager Ray Danniels brought in Gary Cherone from another band he was handling � Extreme � to usher in the "Van Halen III" era.

Mitch's 5-song audition was recorded with the band, and featured versions of "Panama," "Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love," "Why Can't This Be Love," "Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)" and "Jump."
