Vegetarian Star

But make sure you wash your hands before making it for him if you’ve sneezed recently.

Hunter Burgan,bassist for AFI known for his sarcastic, witty, and downright ridiculous comments on his blog or during interviews, shared with buzznet.com what he’d love to put on his sandwich.

Buzznet: If we gave you sourdough bread and you could put anything on your sandwich what would it be?

Hunter: It would be very thoughtful of you. Thanks! (I might melt some vegan cheese on it, or maybe marinara sauce if you didn’t give me vegan cheese.)

But Hunter’s quite a germaphobe, so never do something like cough and touch his sandwich. Or stab him.

“I hate it when people sneeze into their hands and then place them inside my mouth. I also hate being stabbed to death…that’s a pet peeve of mine.”

And to all ladies without eyes, sorry, you’ll have to find another man.

“The first thing I look for is eyes. If a girl doesn’t have eyes, it’s a no-go. (my apologies to all the girls reading this without eyes).”

Blink-182 is on their highly anticipated reunion tour, with 50 U.S. dates set up.

Guitarist Tom DeLonge plays the role of multi-tasker, also having a side musical project, Angels and Airwaves, and a shoe company, MacBeth, which features trendy vegan shoes for both men and women.

“We just released a shoe from Mike Dirnt of Green Day, we having stuff coming up from Davey Havok of AFI, Frankie from My Chemical Romance, a special shoe from Muse and a lot of rad stuff,” DeLonge said. “It has taken a few years for people to realize Macbeth is a really good shoe company, and we are trying to work with the coolest bands possible. The shoes are awesome, and I think people are finally catching on, and it is doing better than it has ever done. We are securing a place in shoe history.”

Macbeth’s first shoe, The Eliot, was launched in 2002.

The rest was history.

DBTV: Davey Havok of AFI (1 of 3) from The Discerning Brute on Vimeo.

Davey Havok does a three part interview with blogger Joshua Katcher @ The Discerning Brute.

Part one goes into how a man can be ethically handsome. Davey misheard Joshua and thought he said “ethnically” handsome, which results in some laughter, since Davey is of Italian heritage and Joshua is Jewish.

“Having ethical beauty is something that is very rare in our world,” Davey said.

Davey stays ethically handsome by following a vegan diet and even has his own vegan clothing line.

“I am definitely, personally, an environmentalist by way of being vegan,” Davey continues. “If the world were vegetarian or vegan, the impact that it would have on the environment or biosphere would be far greater than if people stopped driving cars.”

Part 2 and 3 of the interview series go live Wednesday and Thursday at Thediscerningbrute.com.

After a drawn out discussion and some investigation, we were saddened to learn that Hayley Williams of Paramore isn’t vegetarian after all.

During a conversation with Rob Pattinson, Hayley appeared as if she genuinely loved Gardenburgers.

But one thing Hayley does love is vegan desserts baked by Danielle Konya and her Vegan Treats crew.

On a recent Twitter, Danielle wrote:

“Tonight we baked for Paramore, No Doubt, and Eddie Vedder, fun!!”

The vegan bakery Danielle owns has baked goodies for several celebrities, including AFI and Alkaline Trio, who’s drummer Derek Grant recently wrote a jingle to express his love for Vegan Treats.

You can check out Vegan Treat’s new website, and follow Danielle’s tweeting @vegantreats.

Your mom probably made some good homemade cookies while you were growing up, but did you ever really thank her for it? Like, write her a personal song?

Alkaline Trio is a big fan of Danielle Konya’s Vegan Treat’s Bakery and their drummer, Derek Grant wrote a song expressing his gratitude.

“Vegan treats make me so happy. Eat them any time I feel crappy,” are just a few of the lyrics Derek croons on the song, Vegan Treats. You might want to take a listen yourself and judge if it’s Grammy material.

Danielle has catered not only to Alkaline Trio, but other celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow and AFI.

She gave an interview with altpress.com on the bakery, her famous clientele, and her motivations to be vegan.

What do you think draws musicians to your bakery?
I think maybe because veganism is like a magnet for an alternative lifestyle. I think lots of musicians are eclectic individuals. That’s my take on it. Or maybe, one musician has it and the others go, “We want some!”

How did the jingle from Derek Grant come about?
One of the guys [in Alkaline Trio] called me one night and was like, “We have a present for you.” I was like, “You do?” Then they told me to check my e-mail. They’re just really big supporters and they’re friends. They made a video of them devouring the cakes and stuff. So that’s how the whole thing kind of came about.

What motivated you to become vegan?
I was out to dinner with my family and I saw a lobster. It was a nice restaurant and it had a big, open kitchen; and I saw the lobster in the steamer and it was scratching to get out of the pot. It was the first time I saw an animal suffer tremendously [before it became] a meal. I had ordered some sort of chicken dish, and they set it down in front of me and I was like, “I can’t eat this.” I could never eat meat again

The ever so funny man of AFI, bassist Hunter Burgan, recently blogged a list a quotes by famous vegetarians.

Hunter decided to add his profound quote on vegetarianism:

“I’d never eat a horse.”

There you have it folks. This will be recorded in the history books with great short quotes by the likes of people like Muhammad Ali, The Pope, and Gandhi. Some other good revelations from people Hunter included:

“I have been following a vegan diet now since the 1980s, and find it not only healthier, but also much more attractive than the chunks of meat that were on my plate as a child.”
Neal Barnard M.D.

“If the whole world went vegan, there would be less war. How you eat determines your mood and your outlook on life.”
Alexandra Paul

We’re really, really bad about birthdays. Ditto for anniversaries.

So while we’re a little late welcoming AFI and their bassist Hunter Burgan to our family of Twitter followers, it’s better late than never.

And we didn’t have to offer him a vegan burrito to join us.

Hunter is the Vegan Ambassador for Macbeth Vegan shoes, which he has said includes duties of, “creating new and better vegan foreign policy.” Last we checked, he was off to convince the Turkish ambassador to Chile to make chili with tofu instead of turkey.

Hunter tweets a lot. So much he won a Shorty Award, which goes to high achievers who can express themselves in 140 characters of less.

So pay him a visit on his blog at  Tranquilmammoth.com or follow his tweets @Tranquilmammoth.

Hunter Burgan, AFI bassist and Vegan Ambassador for MacBeth vegan shoes has posted Part 4 of a 7 part Q & A series where he answers questions submitted by readers of his blog, Tranquilmammoth.com.

One reader asked this hilarious and bizarre question:

Let’s say that I happen to own this awesome burrito factory where I serve vegan burritos only-every vegan burrito you can imagine. I also serve coffee there. Would you be my friend on those terms, even though you know absolutely nothing about me?

Hunter’s reply:
“Yeah, I would be a little bit suspicious. This seems like a trap. And I’m not going to just walk right into a trap…Vegan burritos, right?”

Hunter’s sissy played a big part in his decision to go veg. She had been vegetarian for six years before Hunter became one.

Watch the video to learn what costume Hunter would wear to do spy work.
