Vegetarian Star

The media likes to rip on celebrities, and with the band Fall Out Boy, it seems Pete Wentz is the favorite whipping boy. But what if it were drummer Andy Hurley? What would the tabloids have to say about him? Nothing much, according to Hurley. In an interview with College Times:

“I’m vegan straight-edge, so I’m never going to be stumbling out of a bar drunk. Maybe I’ll trip and fall once, and somebody will get a funny picture of it. When I’m home – I live in Milwaukee – and no one cares in the first place, but I pretty much just go to movies and go eat and play Call of Duty with my friends.”

No, there’s not really much you can write about if you want to trash Andy. But rest assured, if we hear of anything, we’ll tell you. If we ever catch him ingesting butter…

So Andy Hurley gave Rolling Stone the secrets to a great vegetarian protein shake. But it still might be kind of hard to steal this recipe as he’s kind of vague about the formula:

“About this much vanilla soy milk, up to here with chocolate soy milk, then a scoop of peanut butter, some liquid amino acids to complete the protein.”

Maybe hard to follow, but sure sounds like a winner!

Rocker drummer Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy spoke with Comic Book Resources last month during his visit to WizardWorld Chicago about his love of comics and some of his influences musically, including Earth Crisis and other political bands.

CBR: There are a lot of celebrities, especially lately, who have proclaimed a vague affection for comics, given that superhero movies have recently helped bring that genre and indeed the comic book medium to the public eye. However, they’re not all truly genuine in their appreciation of the medium. What sets you apart as a successful musician who happens to like comics?

Andy Hurley: I guess what sets me apart is I grew up reading comics. My brother kind of passed down his Marvel collection. It’s the same way I got into Star Wars and into music. That was kind of the legacy that was passed down to me. Once I got into punk rock in high school, I kind of had a phase where I wasn’t into comics as much, and I wasn’t really reading them. And that was when Warren Ellis kind of had his first run on “Transmetropolitan” and later “Planetary” and “The Authority.”… That’s what kind of reignited my faith in comics.

“When Fall Out Boy started we were all in hardcore bands together and the scene was getting so negative and so worthless. I got into hardcore because of Earth Crisis and Unbroken – a lot of political bands, and then punk because of Propagandhi and all of that stuff because of Rage Against the Machine when I was really young. I was really politicized and I had a reason. I mean, I’m vegan/straightedge still and that’s really important. In the end it was all just fashion and kids were idiots and the music was garbage and it just wasn’t saying anything anymore and I think it was a total bum-out.”
