Why he might be annoying:

    Jimmy Page introduced him to cocaine when he was sixteen.
    He named his son Jager and his daughter Jaz.
    AllMusic summarized his music as 'palatable, but without the famous name, it would be hard to distinguish from the army of other Zep imitators.'
    He took part in the VH-1 'reality' show 'Supergroup' (2006).

Why he might not be annoying:

    At seven, he drummed on a scaled-down kit alongside his father, a performance featured in the concert film 'The Song Remains the Same.'
    He and his sister Zoe stood in for their father when Led Zeppelin was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
    He proved to be a better fill-in drummer for Led Zeppelin reunions than Tony Thompson and Phil Collins had been at Live Aid.
    He drummed behind Ann and Nancy Wilson on a show-stopping version of 'Stairway to Heaven' at the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to the surviving members of Led Zeppelin (2012).
