I don't know about you guys, but I hate recording my voicemail. I can't even record a simple "I'm not here, leave a message" without somehow screwing it up. A few years ago I even tried recording one about the fur industry and urging people to call a legislator about steel leg hold traps—we all know how important that is obviously, but to others, it's a pretty big snore fest.

How can you help animals while screening your calls—without putting people to sleep? Easy. We've just added new celeb voicemails from members of Chiodos (that's them to the right!), Silverstein, Escape the Fate, and Shadows Fall—and we still have the classic peta2 voicemails from Pharrell Williams, Clipse, Matt Skiba, Incubus and others!

Street Teamers will get 1000 points for e-mailing us at StreetTeam@peta2.com and letting us know which voicemail they've downloaded!

peta2 Loves Metal! Do You? February 24, 2009

In my opinion, there really isn't anything more awesome than a badass metal band that isn't afraid to speak up for animals—and Lamb of God is a perfect example of this! Bass player John Campbell once told us that if he could say anything to KFC CEO David Novak, he would tell him that he hoped his money made him comfortable in Hell, because if there is any justice, he would suffer. If that wasn't awesome enough, Drummer Chris Adler has been a vegetarian for years, and he once starred in a "Vegetarian Testimonial" PSA for us. Check it out below!

John and Chris are living proof that you won't lose any tough metal cred if you speak out for animals. That said, if you buy anything today other than delicious vegan food, I am highly suggesting that you go to your local music store and pick up Lamb of God's new album, Wrath, which comes out today! The band is also going on tour in support of Wrath, so check out the tour dates on their MySpace page and see if they're bringing "true American metal" to a city near you!

What show are you going to?



PS: If you like metal—check out our features with Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Converge, and most recently, Trivium!

What do members of Alkaline Trio, Incubus, Simple Plan, Shadows Fall, Good Charlotte, Clipse, and even the infamous Pharrell all have in common? Well, these musicians have all recorded voicemail messages for you to put on your phone because they care about animals.

Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio

So here's what you need to do:

1) Check out our peta2 band voicemail page. Seriously, there's stuff on there from Alkaline Trio, Incubus, Simple Plan, Shadows Fall, Good Charlotte, Pharrell, and Clipse.

2) Put your phone up to your computer speakers and make one of the messages your voicemail.

3) Email us at StreetTeam@peta2.com to let us know which message you used!

4) Become the envy of all your friends because you'll have a cool message and be helping animals.

5) Wait a couple weeks and you'll have 1000 Street Team points in your account!

Chuck from Simple Plan

Imagine the look on your friends' faces when they call you to chit chat about some homework assignment and instead hear Pharrell telling them to check out peta2.com or Ben Kenney of Incubus encouraging them to consider vegetarianism! Brilliant!

If you don't really like what we've got on the voicemail page, just come up with your own script encouraging people to visit peta2.com (it can be as funny, serious, or creative as you want!), and we'll still hook you up with points when you email us to say how it went.

Cool deal, amigos?

Rock!

Shadows Fall Frontman says, "I Am A Vegetarian" November 1, 2007

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Shadows Fall frontman, Brian Fair, is my absolute favorite dreadlock wielding, vegetarian, main man of metal. One might erroneously think it's the hair that wins me over, but oh no, kiddies, oh no. It's statements like this from Brian that make me smile: "I became a vegetarian many years ago after listening to The Smiths' 'Meat Is Murder.' It opened my eyes to the painful lives of animals raised for food and I knew I wanted no part of that." See, now doesn't that make you smile so big your freakin' face hurts?!

Our dear friend, Brian, was more than eager to participate in our series of vegetarian ads and his is so special you can find it gracing the pages of December's issue of Decibel magazine, which hits stands today. Be sure to go out and pick up a copy and also be sure to stay tuned to peta2.com. In the next couple of weeks, we'll be giving away an autographed copy of a certain video game that will keep your fingers plucking and your head banging. Interests peaked? Well, like I said, be sure to check back to peta2.com every day to see just what the hell I'm talking about.

Cheers, m'dears.
