Evidently, women aren’t allowed to smash guitars?

Some people are very upset at it. It’s made for some good tweets though. The weird thing for me was the fake monitor.

Ok, main reason was when she was smashing the guitar it reminded me of the spanish housekeeper in Goonies trying to kick the grocery bags across the floor. It looked like an older person struggle

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.

Did you know that Van Halen had another singer before Gary Cherone? I certainly didn't.

I know Eddie offered the gig to Patty Smyth before they met Sammy, but this is a new one. I'm not even sure if I've ever heard this guy's name before, at all. lol

Oh wow. I listen to ET pretty regularly, but I don't recall him talking about that guy before.
