"S**tty Boy Band" One Direction Insult Van Halen

One Direction insult Van Halen? Yeah, we weren't expecting that one either. But according to band's bassist, Wolfgang Van Halen, the cheesy boy band weren't very nice at a Birmingham hotel.

"Fun fact: Was just insulted by that s**tty boy band #OneDirection in the lobby of our hotel this morning! Greetings Birmingham!" Wolfgang posted on Twitter, following that up with: "No joke. That ACTUALLY happened. That group of kids in #OneDirection were dickheads to @IIEROCKII @GWDrums and i." He then posted a very odd insult of his own, saying "They must call themselves that because all of their hair points #OneDirection." We don't really get it. Well, we do, but it's really not very good. Tremonti drummer Garrett Whitlock then weighed in on the fun, by tweeting, ''had a run in with some boy band in the hotel lobby. no worries. I can't take a insult from someone who doesn't even write there own tunes (sic)''. Ouch.

Wolfgang - the son of guitar legend Eddie Van Halen - has been in the music business since the Van Halen family formed the band 1972. The band has been keeping a low profile since Eddie underwent emergency surgery for Diverticulitis, a digestive disorder of the colon, in August.
