From Stray Cats To Spayed Cats, Meatloaf Needs Lentils In Name

2009 MusiCares

We’ve already stated our position on asking a man to change his name for a PETA campaign. Now it looks like PETA Jr., or peta2.org, is doing the same thing, and created a list of bands that should change their names from animal unfriendly to friendly ones.

We agree there are some bands out there with names that sound oh so ugly to the vegetarian’s ear. What’s worse is that some of these bands are vegetarian!

Frank Iero, MacBeth vegan shoe boy, is in a band called Leathermouth. Ewww! Peta2 thinks “Pleathermouth” is better for the image. Please pass this on to their agents.

Meatloaf, who at least once dabbled in vegetarianism, could sell more albums to vegans if he called himself “Lentil Loaf.”

The creepiest of all? Cattle Decapitation, a death metal band full of vegetarians, who PETA thinks should rename themselves “Cattle Appreciation.” Cattle Decapitation? We’re with you on that one, PETA!

We can’t forget that caring for animals is just as important as not eating them, and the Stray Cats are overpopulating the music scene. Please takes those guys to the vet, so they can be the “Spayed Cats.”

For the remaining list of bands who should undergo name overhaul, visit peta2.org.

Frank Iero Screws Cancer With MacBeth Vegan Shoe

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, February 2nd, 2009 in Fashion, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Arrivals At The MTV Europe Music Awards 2007

My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero has completed a project for MacBeth Shoes that will allow wearers to screw cancer and vegan at the same time. Hot!

The shoe contains detailed print instructions, complete with anatomically correct characters on the insoles, which show the wearer how to check for breast and testicular cancer. Frank was both the fashion developer and the artist for these shoes, as he drew the figures inside the soles.

In an interview with Alternative Press, Frank said he based the design off a previous vegan shoe, then elaborated a little.

“I based it off the older design that I had–it was called the Wallister. I [designed] another pair–I think it was one of the first they developed. I took some stuff from that, and just added and took away as far as the canvas, low-top shoe. For my [new] design concept I just drew a couple of pictures, and that’s what came out.”

On the heels, there are two messages, depending on if you want rated PG or more risque, you can choose between “F**k Cancer” or “Cancer Fighter.”

Frank knows the ugliness of cancer personally, as his aunt is a breast cancer survivor who also had a relapse.

A portion of the proceeds go to Syrentha Savio Endowment, a non-profit organization focused on fighting breast cancer.
