“Keith, can you tell us about Miley Cyrus and the talent of Miley Cyrus? You’ve performed with her before, right?” asked co-host Ryan “Fitzy” Fitzgerald.
The Australian rocker responded with a glowing tribute to the pop star, before giving her a rare “compliment.”
“I’ve always loved Miley. I love that voice, man, that voice… it sounds like an ashtray. And I mean that as a compliment. It sounds like the carpet at the RSL!” Keith joked.
The musician also lashed out at fake and lying pop artists who exploit country music to appear authentic, often disrespecting the country music industry in Nashville.
“It’s funny because you still need the support of the system in Nashville and if you do it the right way, like Post (Malone) did, you’ll see the love,” Keith said.
Fitzy then asked who the younger players are who are breaking the mould.
