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.” (More Trace Cyrus stories.)
