Mitch Malloy, the singer Van Halen auditioned between their stints with Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone, has completed an unreleased demo from the period. Malloy says the track features Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and Alex Van Halen, called “It’s The Right Time”.

Malloy auditioned for Van Halen by recording a few tracks at 5150 studios with Eddie, Alex, and Michael and his joining VH was overridden by then manager Ray Danniels, who wanted Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone.

When Malloy saw Van Halen reunite with David Lee Roth on MTV’s Video Music Awards however, he was done with the band.

“When I saw Dave come out with them,” Malloy said, “that was it for me. It was over. … This can’t work for me.”
