HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Trace Cyrus is apparently thankful that he chose a different musical path than the squeaky clean Jonas Brothers.
In a new interview with Details, the older brother of Miley Cyrus chews up and spits out the sibling trio.
“I’m not trying to clean my image to make anyone happy,” says the pierced and tattooed singer-guitarist for the rock group Metro Station. “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.”
And if push ever came to shove, the 20-year-old Cyrus says he’d have no problem taking the Disney stars, although he’d go easy on his sister’s ex-boyfriend, Nick Jonas.
“I don’t think any of them would be much trouble,” he says. “I’d never lay a hand on Nick — I love that kid — but the other two better not get in my way.”
But don’t get the wrong idea about the rocker. Despite his tough guy approach, Cyrus insists that he’s “a very respectful young man.” As proof, he shares what happens when he trashes a hotel room on the road.
“I’ll break a hotel room. But then I’ll pay for it after,” he says.
