Really? Who has called him an asshole? If its well known, I have never heard it. His a perfectionist, can be moody and tour time feels like the world is on his shoulder's but I've never heard anyone call him an asshole - aside from this board - no bandmates, workers, reporters. Asshole's don't keep the same members for 30 years, Asshole's don't keep the same crew's/photographer/record label. Asshole's don't have a 24 year marriage.
