Patrick Carney of the Black Keys Isn’t a Fan of Van Halen

Not holding back at all, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Carney said he saw the band play recently, and he’s definitely not a fan, even calling some Van Halen, “exceptionally awful.”

“I just saw Van Halen without Michael Anthony. I’m not a very big Van Halen fan but it was such a fucking bummer. Like what the fuck is the point?”  He continued, “I mean, sure, Eddie Van Halen’s son is a pretty good bass player and he’s a 20-year-old kid and that’s cool, but like, what the fuck is that? That’s fucking retarded. If someone is able to be in a band for 30 years and then people are okay with replacing him with a 17-year-old, they’re obviously motherfucking assholes, right?”
