Fall Out Boy veggie drummer Andy Hurley will be joining Earth Crisis for their upcoming tour, according to Punk News.

Hurley once attributed the lack of tabloid gossip about him to the fact that he’s a straight edge vegan who’ll never get caught doing things like, “stumbling out of a bar drunk.”

Earth Crisis is known for its involvement and support of animal rights issues and also maintaining a straight edge vegan life and speaking out on political issues.

Sounds like Andy will feel right at home.

ELLE Style Awards 2010 - Arrivals

30 Seconds to Mars singer Jared Leto has revealed secret, possibly rooted in ancient tradition, ceremonies he and the other two band members, Shannon Leto and Tomo Milisevic, share.

Instead of sacrificing animals before a performance, Leto says soybeans are offered.

“Well there was a time when we used to sacrifice goats but then we all became vegans so we’ve been sacrificing tofu before the shows!” Leto joked on Myspace, according to Gigwise.

Dude is close to 40, but doesn’t look like he’s legal to even play at some of the venues where 30 Seconds takes the stage.

The youth gods must love tofu!

“I was hounded and followed by Americans worldwide, who said ‘You’ve got to make him stop.’ I hadn’t even heard the show. Actually so many people told me to take it off, I thought ‘(expletive) it.’ I don’t have to do what you people want me to do. That show doesn’t matter to me. I think people are too easily baited. Those talk guys are just part of the gossip culture. Everyone’s got opinions on other people. It’s such a boring, unoriginal topic. No offense, but that’s not an original question. Ask me something else.”

—-hilarious Chrissie Hynde in an interview where she was asked about conservative talks show host Rush Limbaugh using her song, “My City Was Gone,” for his radio show.

Eventually Chrissie allowed Rush to use part of the song, but donate royalties to PETA.

And Rush isn’t such a bad guy after all, as he recorded a PSA for the Humane Society-without Chrissie’s prompt.

The left and the right can get along.

At least when it comes to being an advocate for animals.

Drummer Pat Thetic of the music group Anti-Flag, was recently interviewed by fanbolt.com, where he revealed he has a little addiction to vegan chocolate chip cookies.

“My favorite vegan dish? Vegan chocolate chip cookies! I just had about 10 of them in the bus.”

Incidentally, where do you get your chocolate chip cookie fix?

Vegan companies like Uncle Eddie’s and Alternative Baking Company make it easy for you go crazy on the cookie while keeping it sane with the eggs and dairy.

Pat also revealed he’s a big fan of vegetables with a little oil and salt and being vegan is easy because he’s never had a taste for meat.

“I find meat to be pretty disgusting, so I’ve never liked meat even as a kid, so it’s not difficult for me at all.”

Anti-Flag is currently lending their efforts to PETA’s Meat’s Not Green campaign in Germany.

“For me, it’s more of a personal thing. I don’t judge any musician or nonmusician for living the sort of lifestyle that they do. I think it all comes down to conscience and making the decision for you and your life. Everyone’s at a different point of realization.”

“The first few tours I did, I was talking about [green issues] on stage. Then I just figured I probably shouldn’t talk about it every tour, so now I guess I’m just talking about it in interviews. It’s something I’ve been doing for quite a while now, so it doesn’t feel like news.”

—Singer, musician and songwriter Missy Higgins, in an interview with Mother Nature Network, on whether or not she considers herself an “elite” greenie.

Missy could count herself as being in the upper echelon of green musicians. Her biggest green move is being vegan. She also donated profits from her song, “Steer,” to the Sierra Club’s Two Percent Project, makes her tours carbon neutral, and performed at Live Earth Australia last year.

Moby Asks Moby About Self-Righteous Vegan Crap

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, June 19th, 2009 in Humor, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Videos.

Moby recently sat down and interviewed himself.

Yes, you read right. In a hilarious interview, cool video technique combines with Moby’s strange sense of humor, allowing the singer and musician to take on two different personas, one that mocks and ridicules him while asking questions.

“So while we’re here, you got any of that self-righteous vegan crap you want to talk about?” asked Moby’s alter ego, who sports a backwards cap.

“Well, it’s not self-righteous,” Moby answers. “At least, I hope it’s not self-righteous. I’ve been a vegan now for 22 years.”

“Boooring,” sighs alter ego Moby.

“If other people choose to eat meat or dairy products, that’s their choice. I don’t really want to judge them. I hope I’m not being too self-righteous.”

Alter ego Moby says he really wishes Eminem had kicked Moby’s ass at the MTV awards and asks how it feels to be the least attractive musician in the business.

Man, alter egos can be brutal!

Byron Bay Bluesfest 2009 - Day 5

Some fans got together and did a remix of Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours,” from his album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.

Everything’s cool and all except the fact that it’s filmed at MCDONALD’S and features people ordering all SORTS OF NASTY MEAT DISHES!

Of course, raw vegan Jason is cool about it and let’s people know on his Myspace blog, that while he’s not down with McDonald’s, he’s down with people having fun with his song.

“I’ve seen a lot of covers and heard a lot of parodies of “I’m Yours,” but this one is super sized. While I don’t advocate that brand of fast food, I dig what these talented people are doing by taking their art into the real world, being joyous and unafraid to shine their light in random acts, enrolling others in their wonderful state of play. This is life you guys. This is it. There ain’t no dress rehearsal. Order what you want.”

Seriously, people need to make an “I’m Yours,” remix at a vegan restaurant.

Watch the video for yourself.
