Yeah being called an Icon, a guitar hero, saying you changed the music industry & being photographed with the likes of Page & Jagger.
Yeah he's just some nobody that nobody really rates.

But hey, she's under rated right?
Oh and while we're on the subject of platinum albums it depends where they're from.
In the US they're for 1 million sales, UK 300,000 sales, Germany 200,000 Australia 70,000 sales and so on and so on.
Incidental you only have to sell 4000 copies of an album to go platinum in Uruguay.
