    He had a nose ring.
    He got kicked out of what become two of the biggest bands of the grunge movement.

    Kurt Cobain called him 'a moody metalhead.'
    He was credited as a guitarist on the Nirvana album 'Bleach' and appeared on the cover, but he did not actually play on any of the tracks.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He began playing guitar during his therapy sessions.
    He got credited on 'Bleach' partly as a 'thank you' for ponying up the $606.17 that the band owed the recording studio.
    His decision to join the Army was influenced by Renaissance sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, who said a well-rounded man should be an artist, warrior and philosopher.
    He served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
    After receiving an honorable discharge, he earned a degree in philosophy from Columbia University.
    He claims to have no regrets about leaving Nirvana and Soundgarden.
    He said, 'I'm going to make decisions based more on what I want to do and less on what I think other people expect of me or want me to do.'
