Why he might not be annoying:

    He was just fifteen when he played on the first Scorpions album.
    'Strangers in the Night' is considered one of rock's best live albums.
    He turned down offers from Ozzy, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple and Whitesnake because he was more interested in his own music.
    Like many celebrities, he has been screwed over by managers and ex-girlfriends.
    In 2003, he was low on cash, so he sold two of his Flying-V guitars on E-bay.
