Mich Malloy was in the band for 2 weeks, until Roth came on the mtv awards in 96.

Jon Stevens was suggested, but not tried out.

Sass Jordan tried out.


Eric Martin was suggested in '85. But didn't actually mee4 with the band.

Jimmy Barnes. Ed and Ted Templeman went to visit him, but nothing came of it.
