Trace Cyrus: "The Jonas Brothers Put Out This Image That's Totally Fake"

race Cyrus, older brother to Miley Cyrus and lead singer of the band Metro Station, is speaking out about the Jonas Brothers in a new interview with Men's Style.

Is he a fan of the band's squeaky-clean image? Doesn't look like it.

"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."

The 20-year-old singer, who recently split with pop star Demi Lovato, doesn't even think the boys could hold their own in a fight. "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."

Sheesh.

However, later on the interview, he urges fans (and non-fans) not to judge him based on his body, which is covered in tattoos.

"The only way to protect yourself is to kill people with kindness. 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."

Trace and Demi---together or not?????

They've been twittering their love for each other for quite a while, and the flirty, young stars finally took it off twitter!
Demi Lovato and Trace Cyrus have both been busy touring and finally got to meet up with each other in real life.
Over the past few days, the pair was "hanging out every day," according to a source, in their hometown of Los Angeles.
They saw Transformers at Universal CityWalk, and sources add, "They have been watching a lot of movies at his house as well."
Sadly, Trace had to leave to resume touring in England, but not before twittering Demi on Thursday: "You already know your becoming the lyrics to my songs."
Demi's response? "We can just pretend that were together right now.... I miss you already."
Demi is 16 and Trace is 20.
