Would love to know what actually happened and what was said.

Disagree on one thing. NSync were fantastic. lol

What is it with sons of legendary rock stars being complete morons? Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack seems to still be a moron and he’s a father now. They grow up rich and entitled and they are about to call out other young people who actually support their families as opposed to being rich trust funds kids? I don’t listen to One Direction, not my type of music anymore, but there is no doubt that they aren’t profiting from their daddy’s celebrity and talent unlike this Wolfgang guy and the Jack Osbourne’s of the world.

He’s a moron because he thinks 1-Direction is shit? Let me guess, you were one of the people who wanted to draw and quarter X-tina for not kissing the Wanted’s undeserving pretentious asses. I can understand the anger if it was acts of importance, but not a dime-a-dozen assembly line boy-band.

It’s not entitlement, it’s calling a spade a spade. He’s not alone either so it’s not a matter of “entitled kid of a rockstar” it’s knowing the difference between music and muzaik.

Aaahhh jealousy, the Godwin’s Law of pop culture. Always nice to see people shoot themselves in the foot with that stupid argument. Tsk tsk tsk. I mean much like X-tina and The Wanted, it’s not like he was was dissing anyone of any real significance. They’re just a trite boy-band so it’s more like bravo. Kid Rock summed up acts like 1-Dimension best:

Boy-band are trash.

The funny thing is that Van Halen’s fans are mostly guys. 1D’s fans are mostly girls. How is this a competition? It’s like apples and oranges. These are different types of music, different types of groups, and dissing each others fans when the fanbases are so different is stupid, especially since the fans of 1D may likely be the DAUGHTERS of the fans on Van Halen. When we start comparing two similar types of groups, then it will be more meaningful. That said, we don’t know what 1D said, but we do know that if they did insult VH, then Wolfgang apparently isn’t very mature enough about how he handled it.

Maybe he liked them as people and he was just referring to their music.

1D insulting Wolfgang? Yeah right. They may have made a joke that he overheard and was upset by. Or he was agitated with their popularity or thought it unjustified and made it all up. I thought I heard something about Wolfgang punching one of the boys?

They get the hate on account of what their music represents in the industry, which is essentially nothing outside of unoriginal statements on all-encompassing beauty and just “having a good time.” They can be nice guys, absolutely, but what differs Justin Bieber from somebody like Michael Jackson or Prince? MJ and Prince were incredibly likeable in their prime, and also revolutionized the industry, primarily because they created a product that everybody could approach and appreciate. They had originality in their music, their dance, and their aesthetics. Justin Bieber (who I admit, is more talented than your average performance enthusiast) may be a unbelievably nice person, but he represents little-to-none in terms of musical originality. Songs like “Purple Rain” and “Smooth Criminal” are greater because they represent paramount American creativity. “Baby”, however, does not. So, as consumers, the natural reaction is to try and display our discontent with the music that occupies the mainstream airwaves. But when it doesn’t go away, anger boils up incorrectly towards the person. It’s nothing personal against Justin, but what he represents. So… seeing as One Direction represents little in evolving our musical culture beyond demeaning the masculinity of the modern male, I think I will join Wolfgang in saying, “Fuck off” to these 5 metrosexual twits. :)
