Van Halen disses One Direction
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 18 October 2012
Wolfgang Van Halen, son of Eddie and bassist in his father’s band since 2006, ain’t impressed with One Direction, that’s for sure. We’re not certain exactly what the 1D boys did to the younger Van Halen in a Birmingham hotel lobby this week, but the guitarist – currently in the UK playing with Mark Tremonti – declared the “shitty boyband” members to be “dickheads”.
Having had a run in with the boyband stars, Van Halen wrote on Twitter: “Fun fact: Was just insulted by that shitty boy band One Direction in the lobby of our hotel this morning! Greetings Birmingham!”, adding: “No joke. That ACTUALLY happened. That group of kids in One Direction were dickheads”.
Wrapping up with an observation about the teen group’s lovely haircuts, Van Halen Jr concluded: “They must call themselves that because all of their hair points in One Direction”.
