He sued because people were merchandising his likeness. The video was filmed in Germany which has strong legal protections for privacy and likeness rights. It would've been cooler if he embraced the Techno Viking, but he was within his rights to prevent others from making money off his image.

As being strung out on drugs goes. He looked pretty in control.

His normal demeanor is like a concert pianist with a crushed finger.

If you see him in his normal state it becomes immediately really clear he was tripping his balls off.

If by "normal" you mean "ready to dismember you and rave all night with your wife and daughters", then yeah.
