Bangerz Behind-the-Scenes
Miley Cyrus music director/American Hi-Fi frontman Stacy Jones tells why Miley Cyrus is as punk rock as they come
1. The backing band on the Bangerz tour is the same one Miley played with eight years ago

Initially, the job was putting the band together. We put this band together for Miley and we're going on eight years now. Kudos to her (former) manager Jason Morey. He said, "I want you to hire people that will be her band for the next 20 years. The five guys in the band today are the same five guys who started with her eight years ago, which is rare in the pop game. People tend to come and go.

2. There's no one else pulling the strings. Miley calls all the shots on the Bangerz tour

I was just doing an interview with some punk rock guys in London. And they're like, 'You play with Miley Cyrus? How punk rock is that!' And I'm like, 'You know what? She's the most punk rock person I know on the planet!' She doesn't give a ****. She's totally authentic. She's as punk rock as you can be. I really love that about her. The decisions she makes aren't these premeditated things with management and giant P.R. teams. She has an idea and she does it. She just calls me and says, "This is what I wanna do" and we take care of it for her. Most of the time it's on a whim.

3. During the show and right before it, the backstage area is a sea of ridiculous costumes and props. But aside from that, it's (shockingly) pretty tame

If you walk backstage right before the show it is a pretty crazy scene. Prior to that, it's Miley hanging out in her room listening to Bob Dylan and the band guys sitting around eating catering and drinking coffee. It's very tame. It's not what everybody pictures. There was an after party after the London show last night and I don't even think Miley showed up. We were all there but I think she went back to her hotel. People's perception of her daily life is very different from reality.
