Full-resolution rip from the This Is Solid State Vol. 4 DVD. 0:00 Josh Scogin walkin around 0:57 Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste 4:45 Aaron Weiss shows up 6:30 Face:Face
It’s crazy that they are just a bunch of kids basically who in my opinion put out one of the only perfect albums ever recorded. Every line, ever verse, ever lyric, every melody is absolutely flawless. Still listen to it to this day. Thanks for the memories
Poison The Well - The Opposite Of December..... absolutely kills. I love me some NJ, especially with Josh but PTW can go toe to toe with BTMAKTC any day. I also think Mewithoutyou A to B Life is a gem. ETID has some bangers too. Also NJ the Anti Mother is perfectly done.
@@420layout mwy ab life, cfutf and brother sister are flawless for sure ... ETID Hot Damn album is iconic to me... Haste the Day burning bridges isn't as technical but its a perfect moshcore album with a terrific outro...
I would have to agree... I've dated people later and tried to explain how amazing this was and no one gets it except those that were there... this was an incredible fest.
Yeah most heavy vocalists don't sound great when it's unfiltered audio captured right from the soundboard. I remember I saw oh sleeper live many years ago and Micah sounded amazing. They had live streamed the concert on Facebook and when I went to rewatch it it was audio directly from the soundboard and it sounded God awful
I saw Norma Jean perform in a shoe box sized venue during this era and it was one of the most visceral performances I’ve ever seen in my 25 years of going to shows.
Lol nobody knew what the fuck they were looking at. When I saw them in my hometown right a few months later I didn't either. Killer album, killer band.
This performance was riddle with tension and frustration since Josh had just announced that he was quitting the band, shocking the other members. Even the delivery of some of his vocals are completely phoned in and unenthusiastic. He was like “meh I’m quitting anyway” lol. Everything just felt miscast with this band.
I forgot about Norma Jean. I went to a show in Nashville when I was 14, in like 2006 or some shit. I ended up skiping out and roaming downtown with my girlfriend at the time for hours. Only listened to the show for a few minutes from outside. Good night though. I remember enjoying their music and actually wanting to go to the show too, but 14 year old boy me was also trying to get some. lmfao
Bless the Martyr Kiss the Child was one of those albums that when you played it it was just a constant head bobber. It might be a perfect album for that genre
How is the vocalist younger than I've ever seen him yet is about as tame as I've ever seen him? Seriously, how crazy that dude went with The Chariot and 68 you'd think he was an absolute mad lad before that.
Back in high school my friends and I would watch these videos and laugh at how bad josh was. This was around the time oh god the aftermath had just came out. I mean we knew old Norma Jean was better just couldn’t understand why josh was so terrible live lol
Bands back then relied on production a lot. Albums were great, but they all partied, smoked, drank, didn't take care of their vocals at all. Metal bands now a days, atleast the good ones don't do that shit before shows and actually practice. His screams aren't awful live tho. They are much better now a days tho.
@@allheartallhate We toured with Norma Jean for 9 weeks (late July-September) back in 2002, right when BTMAKTC was released and those guys didn’t party like that at all. They were just spastic on stage, as the video shows. They didn’t care if they played, sang or screamed in tune and the kids that came to our shows didn’t seem to care either. I can’t/won’t see Norma Jean live anymore. No original members left and the last time I saw them it felt more like a cover band rather than Norma Jean.
Norma Jean around this era (before Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child) weren't big partiers. They were just kids dicking around on stage that didn't know how to play their instruments yet so it sounded wack live but they gave it their all, at least with Josh.
man you're missing out; if you look at norma jean as a different band, you'll realize they have so many good albums and banger songs...live shows go crazy too@@nonbeliever3169
the live energy of these bands was a bit werid, kids copied it nearly a whole decade long, shaking randomly their head, overperforming and stuff... hahahha i really laugh hard when i see this 20 years later...
overperforming?? maybe you just can't feel the music man... I'm always astonished when people go to shows and just stand and watch. its MUSIC man you gotta MOVE to it
early norma jean and early mewithoutyou we’re so energetic. fucking love it
if I had a time machine ...
Check out The Chariot- Scogin was turned up to 11 every show.
I will truly miss Arron Weiss' energy during live shows. I was lucky enough to see mwY over 10 times in my life and he brought it every single time.
agreed, I saw them five times and every single time was such an impactful experience

@@420layout power. Opposite first thing at came to my mind. Cheers my friend
One of the most unique drummers
MY DOGGGG
I love all the band memvets just shambling around aimlessly. So good.
I remember this performance, it's still pretty good.
Man, used to watch this constantly on a This Is Solid State DVD. In my memory, this sounded SO much better, haha.
I wore this DVD out too.

What they lack in technicality they make up for in stage presence
Aaron Weiss wrote a verse that is forever burned into my memory. Not to mention Josh’s brilliance.
What a time to be alive.
brings me back to my youth
Omg that drummer is a fucking beast tank GOD FUKIN DAMMIT !!!!!!!

There is absolutely nothing more intense than 02 norma jean
best era of norma jean, no contest
Certified good classic
So many youth size tshirts 😂
lollllll facts
DAMN AARON BRINGS THE ENERGY
Wow, thank you for uploading this
Lol nobody knew what the fuck they were looking at. When I saw them in my hometown right a few months later I didn't either. Killer album, killer band.
The people witnessing this are TRULY a lucky bunch.
Absolutely CLASSIC

As a kid I would've been so stoked to see this. As an adult I would've been so mad to hear this lol.
Masterpiece still in 2022
forever iconic
Happy anniversary josh
People were legit stunned. 🤘🏼
How cool would it be if this Norma Jean and the current Norma Jean played a show together!
Scottie Henry and Chris Day will always be incredible together.
I saw Norma jean and 68' one time and Josh got onstage and did Memphis with them it was epic
I forgot about Norma Jean.
I went to a show in Nashville when I was 14, in like 2006 or some shit. I ended up skiping out and roaming downtown with my girlfriend at the time for hours. Only listened to the show for a few minutes from outside. Good night though.

This may be the oldest recording of Memphis?
Bless the Martyr Kiss the Child was one of those albums that when you played it it was just a constant head bobber. It might be a perfect album for that genre
What do you use to record?
Norma Jean - "My DAW"
LMAO
This is hands down the most underrated comment ever.
@@operatinghoursmedia6146 Hahaha! Thanks for the props dude! Have a good one!
I don’t get it lol
i was at this festival
Hilarious. Josh is my idol, and somehow my wedding day is the exact same day - 20 years later 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:28 lmao i thought he said "lets see what kinda of battleground, battletoad that you can reenact"
This is so fucking legendary but literally the entire fucking crowd is like “wow this sucks” lol.
yeah this crowd is crap, I woulda been wylin so hard
"woo!"
This is like Coalesce without the 5/4 time signatures.
mahdah
Everybody bout running into eachother, used to watch this as a kid skater lol
Classic
Aaron Weiss in 2002 looking a lot like Eric Nally
The band is absolutely criminally underrated. They started a genre.
Sorry you wrong, look at Botch
@@mnyfst thats your opinion
@@patrickobrien4322 maybe by adding jesus to it lmao.
epic hxc
Hahaaa… simply a Classic!!
What is this one of maybe 10 shows they played together as Norma Jean? I think Josh left right after the album came out. Crazy
How is the vocalist younger than I've ever seen him yet is about as tame as I've ever seen him? Seriously, how crazy that dude went with The Chariot and 68 you'd think he was an absolute mad lad before that.
this isnt a fair portrayal of Josh, check out other live vids of Norma Jean from around this era (with Josh) and youll see.
@@Noway-sg8md Upon further investigation you are spot on. Maybe he was just having an off set that day.
This is tame? What vid are u watching?
@@billjim334 Have you seen a show by The Chariot???
Both Joshes made the decision to quit the band on this day, right before this set. So things may have felt a little off.
The bass distortion is distracting.
yeah the boss odb-3 sounds awful DI
Damn you're right it's almost like this is 21yo converted from analogue to digital or something
“Thanks for supporting Southern rock.” 😂
Normal Jeans
Here's an example of when a band can sound so bad, but the energy makes up for it all
What is repression? Am I right..
Back in high school my friends and I would watch these videos and laugh at how bad josh was. This was around the time oh god the aftermath had just came out. I mean we knew old Norma Jean was better just couldn’t understand why josh was so terrible live lol
They got a pass with an album that good
his energy is unmatched tho, and he's definitely way more honed now in 68
look how this crowd is all cool to get too involved apart from the gymnastics lameos - gguuuh early noughties hipness :(
Oh yeah the Jesus version of Coalesce.
The fuck Is that aweful buzz. Is it the mic on the cameras? Or did one of they amps or drum mics get damaged. Shit sounded terrible
I love Norma Jean, but goddamn they sound abysmal live.

Used to seem so cool at the time. Looking back 20 years later, pretty cringe and goofy.
I bet none of you listen to 68
I dipped out after the first album. Just isn’t the same. Scogin needs a *band*
not as much as I listen to BTMKTC or a couple chariot albums but they're still dope...great live show too
68’ is amazing!
For one of my favourite bands, this is an awful video.
Lmao, perhaps some of the worst vocals ever recorded
