Those of you who know me know that I LOVE music! I grew up listening to a wide variety of tunes and rock has always been one of my faves ; ) In the recent past, I have seen a fair amount of veggie rock musicians become and advocate being vegetarian or vegan. It’s so great to show that being a vegan isn’t just for hippies and that just because they may be vegan, doesn’t mean they can’t be bad ass! Here’s a list of vegetarian and vegan rockers, just to name a few:
- Paul McCartney
- Rikki Rockett, drummer for Poison
- Phil Collen, guitarist for Def Leppard
- Ozzy Osbourne
- Chrissy Hynde
- Alanis Morisette
- Prince
- Thom Yorke of Radiohead
- Fred Mascherino of Taking Back Sunday
- Ben Gibbard, ead singer for Death Cab for Cutie
That’s a short list of just rockers! Your head would spin if you saw the full list of veg musicians and that just proves that being veg is no longer social suicide. I will be highlighting veg artists quite a bit and I’m sure, over time, the list will continue to grow.
In the mean time, I wanted to introduce you to a hot vegan rock band that hails from right here in the City of Angels. They are The Faded and you can find out more about them, their tour schedule and more on their website at www.thefaded.com. Be sure to keep up with them and help support kick ass rockers with a healthy & happy heart ; )

Oh for sure, this was just a tiny list – there are a TON of veggie musicians ; )
I love The Faded and I love that many vegan musicians make it a point to express their ethical views in their song lyrics. Represent! Don’t forget Morrissey, and isn’t Trent Reznor veg? Yum 🙂
Being a vegetarian does Rock! I’ve been one for over 15 years. Here’s a great testimonial from Joan Jett – a great female rocker and a vegetarian!
