Miley's Bro: Tattooed Nice Guy

But those 'fake' Jonas Brothers better watch out

Share

(Newser) – Miley Cyrus’ half-brother Trace is covered in tattoos, wants to beat up two-thirds of the Jonas Brothers, and says the best—and worst—advice he ever got was when “Tom Delonge from Blink-182 told me not to sleep with too many nasty girls on the road.” But the truly shocking thing about the Metro Station guitarist and singer is that “I’m a very respectful young man,” he tells Details.

“People have this idea of what I'm like by looking at me, and I like shocking them by showing them I'm a good guy,” he says. His music gets a similar reaction from people who “think I'm in some metal band, and it's like, ‘No, man, I play pop music.’” Still, he maintains a rock-star definition of respect: “Oh, I'll break a hotel room,” he says. “But then I'll pay for it after.”

I'm not trying to clean my image to make anyone happy. I could have gone the route of the Jonas Brothers. Those guys can't live their lives freely. They have to put out this image that's totally fake. - Trace Cyrus

I don't think any of them would be much trouble. I'd never lay a hand on Nick—I love that kid—but the other two better not get in my way. - Trace Cyrus, on the Jonas Brothers

We've always been respectful of that song. It started off the Cyrus legacy. - Trace Cyrus, on dad Billy Ray's "Achy Breaky Heart"
