Why he might be annoying:

    He was fired from AC/DC because he was having problems with alcohol, pot and Malcolm Young. The incident eventually started a fight.
    After he left AC/DC, he claimed to give up professional music completely.
    His first band, 'Colored Balls' was a skinhead band.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Unlike the Young brothers and Bon Scott, he is actually from Australia.
    He appeared in the Howard Stern movie 'Private Parts.'
    He became a helicopter pilot after he left AC/DC.
    AC/DC invited him back in 1994 to play with them. This eventually led to his return.
    AC/DC was glad to have him back.
    After he retired, AC/DC fans would go to his old neighborhood to try to locate him.
    He retired to New Zealand rather than Melbourne to keep his profile lower.
