AUGUST BURNS RED RUINED MUSIC

Every music lover has that one good album that's ruined by a shitty time or person. We caught up with August Burns Red in our new episode of Ruined Music to see which records they just can't listen to anymore. With a dead dog and a breakup, Jake Luhrs and JB Brubaker won't be listening to these two records anytime soon...

Woulda killed them. (not literally but uknow what i mean)

Surprised he didn't go all John Wick on his friend. I would've

[@veehaytch3440]

Henry Wylie i would have really killed them

[@robertdunbar368]

My dentist.

[@No1WillMakeItOutAlive]

Just one bite on the hand and they had her euthanized? without telling her owner? that's so awful, I can't imagine how painful that must have been to hear

[@caseh4235]

ABR has ruined music... for setting the bar too high because they're the best

[@danielkehrer3770]

I was at their show last night and I kinda felt this irl

[@jbasti227]

Truth

[@deans-rewind2882]

I went to the dangerous tour and honestly did not care for them. They were ehhh. About to see them and others “cough cough” ERRA. So we will see if they are better the second time live

[@spiritboxyxbox]

@@deans-rewind2882 I saw them with ERRA and Fit For A King, honestly all of them were amazing but ERRA was my favorite, ABRs singer is good but their guitar work is what I really like about them

[@Glintingbeetle]

They had us in the first half not gonna lie

[@wespapes2054]

I agree with Jake about the death of a dog. When my last dog died back in 2015, I was heartbroken. I couldn't go to school, work, nothing. I had known that dog for the majority of my life, and it was hard on the family. When I was able to go back to living life, I still was pretty heartbroken. On the ocassion, I would cry at school about her, and people just told me "Dude, it's just a dog. Get over it." Sure, it was a dog, but a dog or pet of any kind is still a member of the family.

[@ashadows666]

Exactly^^

[@WaRLoKWYATT]

Wes Papes Fuck those people.

[@fireguy3217]

Ignorant stuck up kids

[@nathandrums0]

I had the same experience once. We got a dog when I had turned 1 and he was my best friend up until I turned 13. So We had him for 12 years, and someone told me to get over it. It's a little hard to get over someone or something you had in your life for over a decade and suddenly they're gone.

[@gigafuq8751]

we got a cat when i was around 10 and 12.5 years later we had to put him down a couple months ago due to cancer. when you grow up through all those teenage years of turmoil with little friends but your animal brother who loves you unconditionally, you become more than just owner and pet

[@chrisflynn9695]

The title of the video is misleading but great!

[@andynewen]

Clickbait

[@swopeboi]

click bait the way of the future

[@Anonymous42316]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@codysampson8937]

How lol?

[@chrisflynn9695]

Cody Sampson The title implies the band ruined music whereas it's just what music in particular is ruined to them and what caused it.

[@hcaz5818]

Jesus the people that put down jakes dog are serious trash

[@PresumablyTunes]

Euthanizing a puppy for "biting" is such bullcrap, those people are on my send to hell list.

[@nataliagonzalez1698]

Literally thats all they want to do I wonder why the vet didn’t just take the dog instead they’re just as at fault as the people

[@blackpeople7927]

Joe Power id kill someone if they killed my dog

[@johnyang799]

Black People Because that's your dog. right?

[@pierceb2105]

If a dog is dangerous (i.e. biting a child etc), they have no choice but putting the dog down. I love animals and think it's terrible, but sadly that's what happens. If a dog attacks a kid and the child is killed due to the injuries... P.S I'm a dog owner myself.

[@sh9683]

Joe Power until the dog bites another and then another and then a kid but yeah let’s let that happen because “my fweeelings”

[@erickdelko9523]

i thought this would be a video about how August Burns Red has ruined music, or the music scene. You know, just kinda like the title says?

[@nataliagonzalez1698]

Erick Delko I thought it was a joke video lol

[@KahliberZero]

There should for sure be a hyphen between "August burns red" and "ruined music" hahaha

[@Basu117]

just another AP clickbait title

[@wadeb5042]

Right? I thought this would be how nobody can make metalcore anymore bc ABR just took it to the next level and no one can compete. Like, they ruined the genre. They’re carrying the torch now.

[@Ratspressoh]

Erick Delko but they didn't..?

[@zerofox641]

Poor Jake 😢 I feel for you man she wasn’t just a dog. I feel the same way about my pets.

[@johntraylor9290]

It. Is. NEVER. Just. A. Dog.

[@FirstLast-zv5od]

Damn, killing another man's dog without first talking to him? If the dog bit me, I would just bite it back. Jesus...euthenization is a bit far.

[@WaRLoKWYATT]

When you truly love an animal and form a real connection, it can be like losing a brother or sister. Except dogs truly love unconditionally, unlike people. My dog I have had for 13 years and she is very old for her breed and I seriously don't know how I'm going to handle her death. She is everything to me. She was all I had through the worst points in my life and is my best friend. I would cut my life in half to keep her alive for 10 more years.

[@Glass_Caskets]

WaRLoKWYATT I care more about my animals than people

[@ivanlopez4080]

I feel ya man my lil buddy is 10 at the moment and healthy but starting to show signs of aging and i don't know how ill handle his passing. Hell I start to somewhat break down just thinking about it at times.

[@sh9683]

WaRLoKWYATT that’s because dogs are pack animals. It’s in there DNA to be loyal

[@chickenpermission1656]

[@Looktowardsthesky]

I know how jake feels ..I went on vacation with family at like 16 to come back home to find my dog passed away in the back yard ..shit hit me in the feels..she was my best friend and I was miserable for a few months ..

[@scorch2020]

Should anyone ever watch my dog and have it put down with out my approval for a reasonable(still not acceptable) reaction such as that I would have sued that man for everything hes worth his house, cars, all his money idc if hes a father of 1 or 10 kids he will be destroyed and homeless. Jake I Goddamn hope you did something about that shit.

[@malik8654]

Dan2024 ik, that shit pissed me off.

Jake's Erra beanie tho

[@jeremiahf9377]

Aw... La Dispute aka fuck your life up: the soundtrack

Seriously that album is fucking depression.

[@jeffbell4434]

ABR is the most amazing band. Hearing about the dog Maddy being put to sleep for biting a grown man's dog made me so sad tho. I totally get it dude. My ex gf took my dog Charlie away from me and I loved that dog so much... I'm still trying to get over it 7 years later lol

[@DeEvolveMe]

Good thing too, La Dispute albums aren't cheap lol

[@OwinWhite]

Am I the only one that thought SHUT UP I WANNA HEAR THE STORY ABOUT THE PUPPY at 1:26

How Jake didn't break every bone in that man's body is a mystery

[@jacobhofius2528]

Forgiveness, Jesus and everything

[@deerseaheraklorne6140]

That sucks because that la dispute record is crazy awesome.

[@Rawk4Life]

Dumbest, misleading title ever. Couldn't they have at least put "August Burns Red Discusses Ruined Music " or "August Burns Red: Ruined Music instead?"

[@isaachubbard7903]

I cant listen to a lot of music because of my exes. So I feel :/

[@bsully]

I think they should have told these stories separately and not jumped back and forth.

[@VondaInWonderland]

Dogs are family! My heart is broken 💔

[@sh9683]

VonDa in Wonderland human babies are family too but no one is heart broken when baby is brutally torn apart and thrown in the garbage

[@VondaInWonderland]

sh9683 Are you kidding! Everyone with half a brain would be devastated by that♥

[@sh9683]

VonDa in Wonderland really? Abortion. Hear of it?

[@openshores4288]

Damn i listen to entire TAKK album when travelling back home...such a masterpiece album...Hoppipolla is my fav. track

[@josiahmerola]

Amazing record. Sad that Jake can’t listen to it anymore

[@Peidaqsai]

Totally clickbait title

[@surge3518]

ABR has horrible histories with dogs. RIP Maddy and Red

[@Jareddoesthings]

Brubaker's band is from Grand Rapids Michigan and their music epitomizes the quality of life there.

[@DeathYear2012]

I've had trouble listening to certain songs after a crush or break up, but I haven't had it to the point that it's been years that I couldn't bring myself to it. Damn, that's heavy.

[@afternooncrescendo5045]

I can relate.. I just lost my cat a few days ago, her passing killed me since.. I'm just trying to get better and bounce back from it, you're not alone 🐈🐕

[@deafeningecho9696]

A shit ex of mine was obsessed with Bowie, specifically Ziggy Statdust. We really bonded over it but since she listened to it so much I got burnt out by it and since we broke I have not been willing to listen to it again. Or any Bowie besides Blackstar tbh.

[@fredfuchs3651]

Same for me with certain songs man. I hear these specific songs and it feels like something yanks my heart through my stomach. Deleting hundreds of songs off Spotify was the equivalent of deleting hundreds of pictures.

[@visionmauto]

That ERRA Beanie though.

[@nickwancho]

I would loose my mind at those people for doing that to my dog without asking.

[@Choco_Bear-f1c]

This is understandable since music expresses more than words and convey feelings, because of this I find it very personal that some artist abuse music or use dark lyrics as a coping mechanism. All in all music is part of life and a gift of God

[@izzomctorro]

You guys are all reading the title wrong. It's not saying that August Burns Red ruined music, it's showcasing the music that's ruined for them.

[@mikegallo2143]

Dang wildlife is one of my favorite albums ever, would suck to not listen to that again

[@smokehill7912]

The intro to the departure by la dispute (very first song on wildlife album) sounds exactly like the intro to ghost if you pay attention. Maybe thats what inspired the song

[@physiciandab6817]

Homeboy is wearing an Erra beanie. My guy.

[@chased9726]

Jake talks about his dog being put down, and no one mentions August burning Redd in the comments?

[@timothylarkin4916]

Wow that’s so incredibly fucked up about the dog. Wow. I can’t even wrap my head around that

[@Bystandermusicfl]

Rocking the erra beanie!! Two of my favorites

[@vaidiv]

wildlife is such a banger and actually reminds me of bad times as well, so i haven't listened to it in years

[@David-ye1rh]

Never ever say "Dude, it's just a dog." Dogs aren't "just", but people who never had such a friend, won't understand...I totally can feel Jake there...And puppies don't bite they are just playing...this dude probably got panic and moved his hand away and cut himself at the teeth of the puppy, which happend to me once with our dog when we were playing...it's unfortunate, but it's not a bite...the dog didn't intentional bite the dude he more likely just paniced...that story made me sad and angry the same time, the puppy should have lived!

[@Justin-zt7pp]

ERRA hat nice fave band

[@StevieJayGamez]

I had the same experience with wildlife. Not a wife but a girlfriend. Made me loose it during a dark period.

[@chrissesock4245]

What the fuck kind of person puts down another person's dog without even talking to them first? Like, yeah, she bit you, and she should be put in a kennel 'til he gets back or something, but putting her down is a straight fucked up thing to do.

[@RingOfRae]

1. my first puppy bites me! because I came trying to play when it was biting a bone! no one told me animals do not like to play when they are eating! we did not kill the puppy because of that Jake! 2. once I also had a terrible experience and "I'm in love with my car" by Queen was coming out loud from the speakers of my hi-fi when it happened. for like 20 years I was unable to listen to that song. but guess what, I just listened to it the other day, I was like " what if?...." and I enjoyed it a lot! it a great rock song....

[@trypticon3293]

That ERRA-beanie, though!!!

[@fugue6943]

I'm really curious about which riff he is talking about...

[@profspaghetto9909]

SufferingAndDespair he talked about king Park in the video, not sure it’s the song concerned by his point, but he talks about king park. Maybe it’s a letter ? That song always got a particular vibes in it, and it’s basically the same riff over and over, talks about depression...

[@EmoBoi91]

Docteur Chapka safer in the forest....that riff is haunting

[@hyst6081]

Poor Jake...

[@MassProduced]

Leave it to Alternative Press to fuck up a title to a video.

[@Hairlesswookie62]

Jake is a big dude who can take care of himself, but my hate is bigger. I want to find that family and put them down. After all, they're just people.

[@luzo0o0]

Wildlife was my favorite album that I can't listen to anymore either

[@Goodpointtips]

who the fuck would kill a fucking puppy, what the actual fuck. that shit just made me depressed

[@ramenthenoodle_]

Throw “ ‘S “ after ABR. Makes a huge difference.

[@nickthompson1812]

Roman Garcia August Burns Red's Ruined Music. Flows so smooth and fits the video. I like it

[@still-standingrunner810]

Ruined music for me includes: I'm Already There by Diamond Rio (my dad was in the Navy when I was a kid and we listened to that when he was on deployment when we missed him more than ever) American Soldier by Toby Keith (my dad was in the Navy when I was a kid and we listened to that when we missed him more than ever) Wish You Were Here by Incubus (my dad was in the Navy when I was a kid and we listened to that song when he was on deployment when we missed him more than ever) How You Remind Me by Nickelback (my older sister was suicidal and she listened to that song when she was in a depression fueled moment) Every Selena song (it reminds me of my best friends mom that passed away unexpectedly) Every latin rock song NOT by Santana (it reminds me of my best friends mom that passed away unexpectedly) Here Without You by 3 Doors Down (my dad was in the Navy when I was a kid and that song was played when he was on deployment when we missed him more than ever)

[@anon8538]

What kind of sociopath would say "it's just a dog". They're family, like your own kids.

[@HazelnutWolf]

So how did August burns red ruin music?

[@kryptonite702]

It’s not just a dog

[@jlynnb1]

What kind of monsters put someone else’s dog down without even communicating with them? Special kind of low-life right there

[@michaelkozma5929]

Jake i feel you Bruuaahhhh. My Dog is my best friend.

[@jakelikesacoustic8146]

I mean why the fuck would you expect a Dog to just be comfortable with you right off the bat?

This could be a great interview series. If they could think of a better title

[@tystell535]

Can’t really listen to identity anymore tbh was going through a really heavy breakup and that shit was at the top of my playlist great song tho

Euthanizing an animal over a bite... animals deserve a chance to be retrained and reconditioned!

I have that one particular song that's just like Jake and JB, i couldn't listen anymore. Pretty much like Jake, i listen to Spotify and "the blue oyster cult's Don't fear the reaper" pop up to my playlist after I lost my cat ... Totally ruined the song for me....

[@nickthompson1812]

Jesus H. Christ because the title is fucking stupid and misleading. You aren't alone

[@liamfoster9074]

Um... these are brilliantly stupid reasons. Well... the dog not so much, but they didnt RUIN music.

oh

[@o00thunderhawk00o]

my friend told me in highschool that this band got their name cuz a crazy GF named August burned a dog named Red i guess the dog was the old singer or something idk the details of if its true im sure it would be on wiki

[@profspaghetto9909]

o00thunderhawk00o i heard about it a long long while ago, i think the band stated that it was a joke

[@joetroutt7425]

I don't know what's worse. The incredibly misleading title or talking about something totally irrelevant to the title.

[@Matthew-.-]

Thought this was going to be a hit piece based on the title.

[@Killa162]

LEft a dislike for clickbait. Thought I was going to get a juicy drama "lol" kind of video that someone or a group of people were complaining that ABR ruined music somehow. Was really bummed when it was just two stories when music they listened to got ruined for them personally...

[@LautaroQ2812]

I don't care about the clickbait title lol. I feel JB so hard. There are a LOT of songs by many artists that mean a lot to me but god damn it Maroon 5 always make me remember to that someone lmfao. Specially some specific songs.

[@vincentbuegos8767]

You cant ruin art everyone has thier own creative freedom to write what they want

You might want to put a spacer between the band and the series name 😅 eg: August Burns Red | Ruined Music

[@campar1043]

wait, who got the dog euthanized?

[@andrewwhitmore8756]

Cam Par the people he left the dog in the care of.

[@benerdick_cumberbiatch]

August Burns Red ruined music. Because almost all music that came before them sucks by comparison.

[@GarageBandSuperheros]

The switchback of the stories on the editing makes this feel like a trailer or a preview of a interviewers time. It's not a great video in my opinion the style that the two different stories were stitched together. I can relate to the doggo story more than a lady friend story, and I can imagine a way to piece by piece, put them together in my head. Yet I feel I'm recreating a story different from what each band member had to say.

[@josephrichichi3116]

If you scare a dog and it bites you it’s your fault tf don’t kill it dumb ppl man

[@ThatBlindGuy247]

Hmm that title really is on point with the video 🤔
