Why they might be annoying:

He's twice divorced.
He was the driving force behind getting Ozzy Osbourne fired from Black Sabbath.
He's always seen wearing black leather and a gold crucifix chain.
He's also always seen sporting a thick mustache and an afro.
Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward claims that Tony used to bully Ozzy around.
His ego is to blame for Black Sabbath's lackluster albums during the 80's.

Why they might not be annoying:

Before Ozzy had Randy Rhoades and Zakk Wylde, he had Tony.
He helped form one of the most important and influential rock bands ever.
The tips to his fingers on his right hand were sliced off after an accident he had at the sheet metal factory he worked at.
After a few months of not playing guitar, he decided go out and get soft plastic tips for the ends of his fingers so he could hold the strings down on the fret board. He's been playing guitar since then.
He recorded a solo album that featured guest appearances from Dave Grohl, Henry Rollins and Billy Corgan.
