Adam Levine, Maroon 5 front man and American Horror Story Season 2 star, does not mince words when it comes to music critics.
“Music critics are all f*cking idiots,” proclaims Levine in the latest issue of Inked–a statement made to counter recent negative reviews of his latest album, Overexposed. “There’s obviously a certain balance between pursuing an audience and pursuing what you love to do, but I love what we do,” Levine says.
“I would never put out a record I didn’t want to listen to.”
In the interview, Levine also talks about his love at tattoos which started when he got a dove at the age of 21. Since, he’s added a tiger, and a “Mom” heart. His latest tat is a string of beads around his neck. “I was in Japan and I got this necklace. I’m not sure why I got it. I think I was bored. But I like it.”
Of his latest gig which is an upcoming acting debut in Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story, Levine says,
“It’s challenging,” adding that “the first thing I did when I got the job was ask some of my friends who are actors what the f**k I was supposed to do.”
