This was shot in the Winter of 2003 on a Hi-8 camera using Nightshot, hence the lack of color. I cannot remember the venue, but I want to say it was called the "School House" or something. Norma Jean was the headlining band, but mewithoutyou were running late so Norma Jean went on early.
It was my first time seeing Norma Jean live and at the time I wasn't very familiar with them, but this show was impressive. The sound quality isn't so great, as I'm standing near the drummer, but nonetheless this is a good watch. Scottie falls and damages his guitar during the last song and breaks it on one of the rafters as the song comes to a close.
I managed to record mewithoutyou's opening song, "Nice and Blue" before I had to go. - บันเทิง

5. i used to hate cellphones but now i hate car accidents
6. creating something out of nothing, only to destroy it
thank you for this amazing piece of history!
Dude... THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF HISTORY THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You're welcome!
It would've been much more incredible had it been with their original singer, Josh Scogin, and not this guy. I saw them twice with this guy and his voice was god awful. I saw then 4 times with Josh and it was epic. Even saw them before they were called Norma Jean, back when they were Luti Kriss and dude...they were insane live.
bruh memphis before josh, mind is fucking blown
@@postalcollapse12 Actually this is after josh left. Thats Matt Tarpey of the band Winter Solstice filling in before they got Corey.
@@DrummerEvan1 was this one of the like 3 shows they played after they kicked Brad out for being horrendous lmfao. I thought they basically just kicked Brad out after the one tour he did and then got Corey
I wish this is what metalcore was now, just 5 dudes that looked like they walked outta their mall jobs into a grungy underground bar, you can hardly understand the lyrics half the time, but the crowd can scream them so loud that it doesn't matter, the singer constantly looks a mixed of exhausted & wired, and the guitarists cannot stand still, the glory days..
Crazy that not one of these guys is in the band now
I'm not that familiar with Norma Jean, are you saying there are no original members still in the band?
Pretty much the same with haste the day
Their sound is different but they still RULE
They gave it all they got in this band, nothing left to start another band with
@kevinrutkowski3034 not a single one lol. NJ had had A LOT of fucking line up changes since its inception. I don't even think of NJ as a band anymore so much as it is a collective if musicians lol. Corey has been consistent but he's still not the OG vocalist. Either way. They've never made a bad album no matter who the members are or how much the sound changes. Fucking love NJ.
I was fortunate enough to see Norma Jean with Josh at the helm and it was one of the most intense moments of my whole life. Next to Converge, or maybe Drain nowadays, there was no live performance quite like it. Just a full on fucking sonic assault of phenomenal lyrics/vocals, brilliant music, and the energy i cant even really quite describe. What a time to be alive.
Agreed. My girlfriend is like, "how did you listen to this?"
I used to fall asleep to it in early 2000.
@@kevincollins8620 Yea man Peak Norma Jean, Converge, The Locust, and the The Chariot....I saw them all live and my lord was it fucking insanity.
@@mr.martyr8573 Same, glad you're still with us fellow Ancient Scenester
jeromes dream is going hard af since sean leary from loma joined, highly recommend catching them if you get a chance
@@mr.martyr8573 The Locust was one of my favorites live. Converge fantastic as well.
Never heard of these guys and it took me 1 minute and 30 seconds to become a fan
Norma Jean was such a big deal when they hit the scene. Huge influencer.
Blast from the past. Early 2000s metalcore hit different. Absolutely psychotic.
I thank my older brother for getting me into these guys when I was 12. I'm 21 now and they still fucking rock. Much love from Texas
Came here for the Norma Jean, stayed for the mewithoutYou. Wish I would have been able to make it to one of these shows back in the day.
This was my favorite band in 2003. I was in junior high and was lucky enough to see them 2 or 3 times. Anyone else have the black Norma Jean shirt with the two shotguns crossing each other on the front?
I wish I did, that shirt is classic
@@matthewcrescimone6404 that shirt was sick, I wish I still had mine. They’ve got one listed on eBay for $50, lol.
@@mdfmma123 lol I was literally just on eBay looking. I’m just gonna buy one anyway smh
It said "support southern rock" under the guns. Wish I still had it...
Norma Jean is my biggest inspiration ever. Pure energy, raw talent, total expression
Same. And the chariot has been just as influential for me.
I am IN LOVE with how much energy they have!
100% HUNGRY
Absolute spazz
Memphis is still to this day THE most hard hitting song 🔥🙌
This is HISTORY uploaded right here! We don’t have shoes like this anymore. The on stage energy, the crowd participation…..THANK YOU!

Right before the scene became "the scene"
Wow, I saw them as Luti Kriss, as Norma Jean with Josh and later several times with Cody. But I had no idea there was a singer in between those eras... 🤯
He's in the music video for Memphis will be laid to waste
My best friends older brother got us into “screamo”. He gave me this CD along with an Atreyu, and A Static Lullaby CD. That was my introduction to the scene and this video totally captures the energy of the shows at the Glass House & Chain Reaction.
He ended up starting a little band called Apple Not Asteroid for awhile too.
Epic times
damn super nostalgic for this comment. first concert I ever took myself to (as in, not with my pops) back in high school was Atreyu, Unearth, Norma Jean at 9:30 club in DC... back in 05.
"Screamo" lmao. Not even close
@@slaythembeforeme *strokes neckbeard* “Uhm, AKKSHUALLYY…”
These guys kick ass. Wish I would have heard about them YEARS ago 🙄🤦🏻♂️
Bless The Martyr Kiss The Child is easily in the top 10 influential albums for the hardcore/metalcore scene
I saw them twice the last time was 2012 with Stick to your guns the energy was unreal and the pits 😵💫😵
they are still around and putting out quality music/ touring.
It's never too late 👍
I love that the guitar player next to the camera is wearing a Mars Volta shirt.
thank you so much for uploading this. norma jean is and will be my favorite band and its sooo awesome to see their beginnings
I'm really glad you like it. At the time, I wasn't even really into them (I was recording the show for a friend) but after this show I understood why my friend liked them so much. They're cool guys, too.Thank you.
Wow, this is amazing. Definitely a piece of history here!
Pure gold, thanks for sharing. :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an era. Thanks for sharing.
This same year that singer kicked me in the face in Philadelphia. Best show
Thanks for posting! Amazing performance by the Almighty Norma Jean!
Thank you for this. It is really awesome. Seeing the 2003 versions of In Reference to a Sinking Ship (or whatever it is called at this time) and the rest of the set is just brilliant. Very much appreciated and hope you have a great day.
I'm glad you liked it. Wasn't sure if anyone would give a shit about some christian hardcore band from almost twenty years ago, but the show is awesome. And Scottie breaking his guitar right in front of me was pretty memorable. Sorry for the late reply. Thank you and take care.
This is Amazing, these are my high school years right here. Still know these words! Hah
Glad to be part of this time and vibe
This is incredible, such a great band and an awesome album. Wish I was old enough to attend at the time of this recording
Love the Volta shirt! Spotted it like a hawk!
Great video!!
That weird void between Josh Scogin and Cory Putnam. Great video
I was gonna say this doesn't look like Scogin
Lmao I was like wtf who is that
cory will never be no josh
@@Spocklee Cory transcended Josh. I’ll die on this hill.
@@AndyKoons Certainly live.
Wow, the first MySpace Band! Amazing.
This record is such a banger! Too much nostalgia
bro this band was so wild first hearing them. still are. nice upload
I remember this tour...either this one or one right around this time. They were headlining and Underoath and Dead Poetic were on this tour as well. One of the best nights of my life. I'll never forget that night. Miss those days
another time, another place..those were the days
Love them!!!
I clicked on this while in my car thinking it was acceptable driving music. I was wrong. It got violent immediately.
2020 Norma Jean looks like they ate 2003 Norma Jean for breakfast. Amazing capture. Thanks for the upload.
Haha, that's great. Thanks, bud.
Norma Jean doesn’t exist anymore it’s literally the handshake murders covering then
@@Aaaaaaaa-ix4rp exactly.
or Eso-Charis, especially since Jeff Hickey is gone and Cory's brother Adam did drums & percussion on the latest album (though he was Norma Jean's auxiliary percussionist in 2006)
maybe that's why they're so bloated haha
From Perú, thank you!!!
I forgot how good they were .
I'm 50 and love the shit out of this band.
My daughter's introduced me to Norma Jean ❤❤❤❤ back in the day!!
Very cool, man! Loved this band in high school. I missed a lot of their records but I still like the classics!
I saw them the same year in North Carolina with Stretch Armstrong and they went so hard they shut the electricity off briefly in the venue. Epic.
this is so amazing
No clue but there’s another video back in June before Josh left and he referenced it. Said shotgun message was going to be on there. Guess it never happened.
GOLD!!!
Goddamn the OG Norma Jean ! Thanks for the upload, that 1st record really has something special within it.
Not OG. Josh was already gone at this point. That's Brad on vocals, the fill in middle guy who never made it on to an album.
@@Jburnage I remember being so stoked to see them at Cornerstone, and Brad was filling in. Dude kept hitting himself in the head, lots of "blegh!" and missed lyrics.. still was a good time, but missed seeing Josh with them.. besides the time they all played Memphis Will be Laid to Waste on main stage years later. Corey, Josh and Aaron from MewithoutYou.
@@zaqbraniga8845Dang must’ve been an off day for brad. I think he sounds killer here!
@@aidansimmers6146 Oh I agree, which is why I was surprised when I saw him. Also.. no youtube vids of them playing back then to go back on.
Damn this is extra rare because this is Brad on vocals. After Josh left and before Cory. This is wild.
This is sick!!!
This is so awesome
This is amazing…thank you for uploading this. You’re the man. ❤
These dudes were so f’n epic at this time! Live shows were just nuts!
the fuckin drummer is spot on bro. I used to rock this album a lot, they were very unique and also crazy heavy for not metal
This is awesome
So you taped Norma Jean instead of mewithoutyou and here we are. Thank you so much!
Mewithoutyou was very late to the venue and I had school the next morning, so I was only able to tape their first song.
Yeah, a lucky coincidence in retrospect! @@TonyArzenta
Masterpiece
One of the best hard core records of all time
this is just incredible... i just seeing this after being a big fan of norma jean from like 20 years... love this shit.. i remember when i was a kid io bought the coolest norma jean official merchandice tshirt. damn...
It's comments like this that make me glad I uploaded this show.
@@TonyArzenta really apreciate it dude! love from argentina! keep listening and playing metalcore!
@@TonyArzenta th-cam.com/video/CDzYuADFO8M/w-d-xo.html
wish you had more footage of mewithoutyou but regardless thank you for sharing!
used to love this band
Prime Norma Jean!
Bless the martyr is so good
To see young people become old people during the 1st sound corrections. These guys slay it!
My first show in high school was Norma Jean eighteen visions throwdown for less than $10
I honestly didn't know how great this band was until now. of course I knew of them but never really got into it. It's the most disgusting, bitter sounding, beautiful thing I've ever heard and I love it.
I was only into their first album. It was a steep drop in quality afterward in my opinion.
Even though no one in this vid is a part of it, All Hail is an absolute masterpiece.
Def what their known for!
It's not that deep bruh.
@@StoicDivinity yes it is.
Brad Norris, vocalist during this blip in time, lives not far from where I live in North AL. He’s also had some other rad bands called The Divine Shakes, Lt. Snakebeard, False Suns (probably more but that’s all I’m aware of). His son also plays in a band called TOWU that’s rad. All worth seeking out and giving a whirl!
Lol nvm this isn’t Brad but it kinda looks like em. Either way! Check out those bands!
Good times
Right up there with Dillinger Escape Plan for onstage chaos that matches the music. So damn good!
love finding B sides of this band and early versions like this one here of Pretendeavor....the other version on the Solid State compilations (2005?) is also super crunchy.
Wish it was still on youtube
Before everyone started rocking the skinny jeans, goood times!!
Incredible band. Saw them when they were Luti-kriss too.
OG
What’s crazy to me is this footage reminds me of the little home town sweaty shows I used to play in my town. Generally 40 to 50 kids or more. But these dudes packed the house in this show lol. But look where they are today. I got to se em once after they were a well known band and they were still great.
" But look where they are today" none of the OG band members are left. I doubt they are well off.
Holy frik
I am glad Bloodbather brought this sound back.
And then The Chariot afterward was even crazier. This is awesome
Never got into the chariot...they were just a knock off of what Norma Jean had done...and yes I know Norma's original singer was in the band.
@@allencarey7336 Go watch the Perth and Moscow shows about The Chariot. It’s about the live shows not the music lol
Seeing the chariot years ago and they was epic.
@@FreshSqueezedLightningthose are their worst videos they are playing garbage material. Watch their tours from 2003-2006 with Keller harbin in the band. You’re cheating yourself and others otherwise.
My dad talks about opening for these guys a lot. Definitely a good band and glad I got to hear josh sing MWBLTW with Mewithoutyou.
your DAD???? 😭
@@shafatalam698 yeah lol. Although I should mention it was more in the early days. The band was still called Luti-Kriss. They would play at a venue called the Solid Rock Cafe (my dad's friend's parents owned it.) They were just a metal band in Georgia at that time lol.
🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘🤘Yeah soooo cool!!!!
Damn dude. This could wind up on a document one day
Matt sounds great in this
While I admittedly don’t know much about these guys aside from “Memphis Will be Laid to Waste” (which is an awesome song btw), I’ve heard great things about the rest of _Bless the Martyr_ and I’ve seen a couple of their live performances here on TH-cam. Love the energy they all have here and the overall Hi-8 look, very nostalgic.
The album has several great tracks that I still listen to even though my interest in the genre has all but died. "I used to hate cellphones..." is my favorite.
@@TonyArzenta Just gave it a listen, that’s another really good one for sure. I know you said you’re not really into metalcore anymore but a lot of Every Time I Die’s stuff is pretty good too imo, especially _Hot Damn!_ which I’d call a near-perfect album. “Ebolarama” is my personal favorite off of that one.
@@cordan305 Haha, I haven't listen to Everytime I Die in quite some time. It's kinda fun to remember these bands from the early 2000's. I'll have to give Hot Damn another listen tomorrow during work.
They've been my favorite band since I first heard them in 2006.
They are absolutely amazing and they just released new stuff.
My neck hurts just watching this
i was just getting into the underground music scene in the south back in 2002-03 when i was in high school. its hard to overestimate how big these guys were in that scene. i remember when they came through on tour, it was an event. bedlams in pensacola fl. i wasnt that into screamo at the time, but now i really regret not seeing them. actualy im not even sure if that show was AA...that was one thing that sucked being a minor back then, a lot of these shows happened at bars or clubs, although a lot of times theyd let underage kids in as long as they put those giant black X's in magic marker on each hand.
anyway, bless the martyr is still one of the best of the genre.
Saw the guys back when they were still Ludikris. I’m OG hard core scene. ❄️😄
What a strange era for music
Not really.
Nah.
It was the peak of experimentation in underground heavy music tbh.
i would change all my mosh pits for this one
🤘😡 Classic
G R E A T!!!!!
Thank you so much for this man! There's not much live footage with the original line up. Those kids were fucking insane!!
I'm glad you liked it, bud. My left ear is still ringing from this show I'm pretty sure, haha.
@@TonyArzenta lol, I meant the original Line Up, hahahaha! I wrote footage twice.
I hope your ear is better now lol
@@marvinvoorhees I thought scogin was the original singer? That's def not him and I do remember at that time he was not in the band at this point
Yeah, that's Josh Scogin! Who else would it be? Who else convulsed like that on stage? I know now he looks a little fat, hahaha but that's him.
@@marvinvoorhees Dude what? no way thats him. He was stocky back then. I don't remember him being that skinny ever
Wow, this video pretty much sums of underground metal shows from 2000-2008, minus a softer pit then usual
Was is at The End in Nashville?
No. Can't remember the venue's name, but it was in PA.
I can’t watch a band ignore a crowd full of kids there to see them. It hurts my soul
They didn't seem to mind.
It was the "cool" thing to do at the time.
@@StoicDivinity I guess you’re right. I played in bands for years and It was my dream to have something like that. Jean rules tho
Did you take this video? My band opened this show and this footage looks like the footage my buddy took.
I did shoot this video, and it's good to hear from you, bud. It's been too long.
@@TonyArzenta wait...who is this?
@@xadamritterx It's Mike. This is the show I put on VHS for you.
Only video of in reference w vocals live
“We’re alright with a little feedback.”
who's the fill in vocalist on this set? great quality footage my dude, love old norma jean sets
I cannot recall the fill-in's name, but I think he only did a few shows with them. I had a wide-angle adapter on my hi-8 camera back then, allowing me to keep the whole band in shot. Thanks!
He looks Matt Tarpey
It’s Brad Norris.
@@jerrodregana it is. I just listened to a podcast today with Scottie Henry (it's when Holy + Gold first started) he said that Brad was in the band for almost two years after Josh left, yet he Brad never recorded on a NJ album.
@@mmm-sq9fb can you link me the podcast?
Frick these guys are tasty, bird is at full salute. This was when metal was at its peak
"LIKE BRINGING A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT!!!" EPIC!!!!!
I saw them in 2003 and it was the new lineup of Norma Jean, none....none of these guys were there, I came expecting Norma Jean, and.............
Bet you that fan still has that headstock somewhere
