Vegetarian Star

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.

Travis Barker was a longtime vegan who temporarily started eating meat after a plane crash that resulted him needing several skin grafts for burns.

Sadly, the Blink 182 recently loss his friend DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) who was the only other survivor of the plane crash.

He did this on the advice on doctors and took some flak from the veg community.

However, it appears that Travis still loves his vegan grub.

From a recent Tweet:

“Eating the best vegan food for lunch:)”

We’re happy Travis is back to eating the good stuff!

Just wish he’d given us more details on the meal. We like salivating over our computers.

A few days ago we posted the ad showing Blink 182 and Angels and Airwaves musician Tom DeLonge advocating spaying and neutering pets.

Here’s a behind the scenes video of Tom as he’s filming his PSA for PETA’s “Have The Balls To Fix Your Dog” ad.

Spaying and neutering is a great way to prevent thousands of unwanted animals from being euthanized in shelters nationwide.

And besides, you probably spend more on all those soy lattes than you would to get your cat or dog fixed.

“It’s not expensive,” says Tom. “You probably spend way more on coffee, burritos, and alcohol to be honest.”

Not to mention you can search for free or low cost spay and neuter clinics located in a city near you.

Watch the video to see Tom and his dogs Chloe and Grey.

Tom DeLonge is known for being the guitarist and vocalist for the musical group Blink-182, as well as Angels & Airwaves. He’s also the brains behind Macbeth Footwear, with all its vegan shoe brands designed for celebrities such as Tegan and Sara and Frank Iero.

He spoke to Sneaker Freaker about Macbeth shoes:

Where does the brand name derive from? Are you a literature buff?
The theme of Macbeth, the Shakespearean play, tells of a basic truth, in that riches gained through unethical methods are less than worthless and we try to ingrain that in our company ethos. It is an amazing play and if anyone has not read it, we highly recommend you do. That theme and name are timeless and we want our company to be timeless too, so the name just stuck.

You’ve been quoted as saying ‘Macbeth is about challenging yourself to find that which inspires you to be better, do better and to live with greater meaning’. How can a humble sneaker do all of that?
Through its charitable works and vegan program, we feel Macbeth challenges people to be a better person and establish a greater meaning in their life. When someone purchases a certain pair of shoes, because a portion of the proceeds go to a charity they believe in or because they are animal cruelty free, that person is doing their little part in a greater goal for the betterment of society.

Is that why you went vegan-friendly as well?
When Macbeth first started, we were working with and taking inspiration from the growing hardcore scene. Bands like Bane, Alkaline Trio, American Nightmare, H20, and Sick of it All, all supported Macbeth and asked for vegan-friendly shoes. From there the vegan program expanded into what it is today, still working with several bands like AFI and Circa Survive that live by vegan ideals.

Shanna Moakler has released her vegetarian testimonial and what a cute co-star she has in it! Okay, there are two cute co-stars, one being her child, but there’s a non-human animal co-star named Biscuit getting his/her two seconds of fame as well.

Interestingly, she is the ex-wife of Travis Barker, ex Blink 182 drummer who recently survived a horrible plane crash. Wonder what her thoughts are about his newfound meat eating practices he feels he must take on to heal faster?

Watch Moakler make the connection between the animals in our homes and the ones people eat. “You wouldn’t eat Biscuit,” Moakler says, referring to the talks she has with her daughter about being vegetarian.  No, we wouldn’t eat biscuit, but we’d sure like to dog sit for a day or two!

Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker survived a nasty plane crash and thankfully is on his way to a full recovery.

Although he’s normally a vegetarian, he’s temporarily eating meat because he feels it will help him heal faster.

“Because I was a vegetarian, for my first three surgeries, it was hard to get any of my grafts to take to my real skin,” he said. “I have such low levels of protein. I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could [to get better]. They said, ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did.”

While we feel there are plenty of ways to get protein in from non-meat sources, it would be awfully insensitive for us to jump on a man after being in such a horrible crash. So we’ll wish one of our favorite tattooed rockers a speedy recovery when he can once again go back to the veg lifestyle.
