Adam Levine is in "Misery."

The 32-year-old Maroon 5 singer asked Fox News to stop playing his band's music on their "evil f-cking channel" in a Wednesday Twitter post, prompting several of the network's anchors to fight back.

"Dear Adam Levine, don't make crappy f-cking music again," Fox News host Andy Levy, 45, wrote. "Thank you."

Redeye host Greg Gutfeld posted a series of tweets aimed at the outspoken Voice mentor, beginning with a juvenile joke: "Why did Maroon 5 cross the road?" he asked. "Because crappy music is legal there!"

Gutfeld, 47, then retweeted some of Levine's musings and added some sarcastic commentary. (Sample tweet: names that sound alike: Maroon 5 and crap. @adamlevine Names that sound alike: @kelseygrammer and @chelseahandler.)

Levine has never shied away from stirring up controversy on Twitter. In August, he blasted the MTV Video Music Awards, calling it the "one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music."

    I watch Fox news AND I'm a fan of Maroon 5. If Fox news is evil I guess I must be too, so maybe I should stop playing Maroon 5's music as well!!! That should make Adam happy!

    Gosh, there has to be at least one news channel that isn't so ridiculously liberal and will tell it like it is, especially about Obama. The other news channels have always treated Obama like they gave birth to him and must protect him no matter what. Since Fox is the number one cable news channel, either libs are truly watching Fox along with conservatives OR they just don't care to watch cable news at all. Wonder which one it is? Please don't say I am conservative either, I am a moderate. I think it is crazy to have either all conservative, or all liberal views.

    I've watched that crappy Channel, so I can say it is crappy. They spread lies and are so biased against President Obama. Shep can be okay sometimes, but the rest suck eggs. They are a joke. The fact that people actually believe what they spew is frightening. I'm with Adam.

    Adam All The Way!!!!

    Go Adam! Fox is full of crap.

  • October 21, 2011 - 6:38am Ashley Harrison

    As they say on The Voice,..... Team Adam!

  • October 21, 2011 - 1:04am Mike A Leon-Komar

    Go Adam!! Screw Fox News

    Typical Hollywood limousine liberal. Wonder how many people that call it "Faux News" (so original) have even watched it to form their own opinion.

    Go Adam! I hate Fox. Really, what right do they have using his music without permission? Oh, and to the "anchors", if his music is so bad, why do you play it? Pay up or shut up Fox.

  • October 20, 2011 - 5:27pm Pam Snedegar Leslie

    Definitely with Adam on this one. Fox "News" is a misnomer....they haven't been about news for quite some time. If I was a musician, I sure wouldn't want my music played on that network. And they sure looked pretty silly calling the music "crap: AFTER they played it!!! Funny!

  • October 20, 2011 - 5:26pm Sarah Keck

    But do you realize that only Redeye's hosts are doing this, Levine shouldn't be so worked up about it. I mean I see nothing wrong with fox news.

  • October 20, 2011 - 4:37pm AndWhat Hong

    Excuse us Adam for promoting your music and fame which gives you more fame and fortune... stuck up spoiled jerk...people would die to have their music be out in public for anyone and everyone to listen esp where there are hundreds to thousands of viewers...people try for years to get to where the band is at and now they feel like privileged snobs? Maroon 5 sucks anyways, on top of that Moves LIke Jagger is overplayed and Xtina is dead, stop trying to bring that has been back, she sucked before and after her baby. I hate that song, its overkilled and annoying.

  • October 20, 2011 - 4:30pm Jamie Creech

    It's his right for them not to play his music. However...I agree...his music is crap. IDK why they'd want to play it, anyway...

  • October 20, 2011 - 4:23pm Vikkie Thorman

    Yeah Adam!!!

  • October 20, 2011 - 4:18pm Tanya Nuncio

    This is how stupid Fox news anchors and viewers are. They call his music crappy (which it is), yet they play it.

  • October 20, 2011 - 3:45pm April Cleveland

    GO FOX!!!!! Maroon 5....blech!!!

  • October 20, 2011 - 3:27pm Laura Crabtree-Mahaney

    What a rude butt! Don't hate Fox News just because you disagree with them. Be civil for goodness sakes!

  • October 20, 2011 - 3:19pm Sun Lee

    NOT a fan of either Fox nor Maroon 5; however, I'd have to side with Adam on this one.

  • October 20, 2011 - 2:51pm Denise Reinhart OToole

    Go Adam! I wouldn't want them using my music either...icky!!!!!
