"Forget Not" The Chariot Documentary

[@HuddyJoe]

I discovered the Chariot's breakup video at the end of a 20 hour work day. I was completely sleep deprived and already on the verge of a meltdown. The chariot was and still is my favorite band, and I discovered their farewell tour announcement through a mutual friend. I lost my mind. Then I discovered they were playing in Buffalo, New York on my 19th birthday. I made the 5 hour drive with a few friends. I stood front row the entire concert. Josh, himself, wished me a happy birthday. It was the perfect ending for my experience with The Chariot. So, thank you, to The Chariot, The Waiting Room in Buffalo NY, and everyone in that room on October 21st, 2013. You have no idea the impact you had on this complete stranger's life. Long Live.

[@KallionUsedToWrestle]

This is why live entertainment needs to exist. Thank you for this story.

[@lstrfnx]

anybody else keep coming back to this?

[@mysteriousstranger2287]

Yes, rewatching this for the third time this year, and when I came here first, I didn't even listen to The Chariot.

[@andrewingram3490]

Daniel Chun I was even a fan of the chariot when the chariot was a band. One of my biggest regrets was never getting to see them live

[@Doppeljote]

bro. once a month at least.

[@drownthepoor]

Man, I've watched all of the Chariot videos on here several times. I' was a huge fan of Norma Jean, and when Josh left and started the Chariot I loved the first album and they lost me after that. But I came back to them after they broke up and listened to everything they've done and I can't believe how good it all is. Because they were so good I gave Norma Jean's stuff post-Josh a chance, also very solid stuff, wish I'd seen The Chariot play, I might actually catch Norma Jean next month for their Redeemer 10 year tour.

[@kalibreesay9587]

Daniel Chun I want

[@lukearonie]

2023 here and this brings back a wave of good memories. one of the most influential bands in my life. thanks for this doc

[@JustinGoldsmith]

When Josh Scogin was in a band called Luti-Kriss back in 99/2000, I was there. When he left Norma Jean and the Chariot came forward, I was there. When they played their final show in Douglasville, I was there. This band has meant so much to me and so many people because they said the things that each of us were afraid to say and kept the passion alive in a dying culture. They lifted us up and pushed us to the edge. They implored us all to be better people. To speak with the wrath of grace and love. Because of the Chariot, my closet holds no bones and this film has captured the heart and soul of that which we can only describe as the Chariot. There's no way to put into words what it was like to be there because if you weren't there, you'll never understand. The closest anyone may come in the future is to watch this video and hope to experience anything like it in their short time on this earth. Much love to the folks who put this together. Victory is such a lonely word. Long Live.

[@kalibreesay9587]

Justin Goldsmith cool story

[@johnsmith-so5do]

Justin Goldsmith how do you like Josh’s new two piece band ( well not new ) ?

[@summeronio9751]

Luti-kriss is Norma Jean

[@keithgames9730]

Luti-kriss! Throwing myself is one of my favorite albums and the hissen track at the end is one of my favorites

[@drownthepoor]

@@summeronio9751 True, but not true. Luti-kriss was very different in sound.

[@scruffynips13]

Watching in 2021, all the emotions come flooding back. This band was truly something special.

[@imagerystorm]

Thanks for still being here : )

[@antmeyerx]

in 2022 im coming back to it FORGET NOT

[@Gnarlkill]

2022, Still jamming to their albums front to back every now and then.

[@antmeyerx]

@@Gnarlkill every day for me man they weren’t my first tattoo for nothing

[@josleyn]

Same for 2022

[@thechetearly]

This may be the single best filmed and edited and overall music documentary / behind the scenes I have seen in my life. What an incredible piece of art for an absolutely timeless band.

[@imagerystorm]

Thank you so much, that comment really means a lot to me. I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@BigD751]

Chad Every I couldn't have said it better. I cried for a solid 30 minutes straight. This is such an amazing tribute to such an eternal band. I am so humbled by their passion... how can I ever come close?

[@videodrome5]

you haven't seen much then

[@Mikey_Pancakes]

Agreed!

[@petermadsen4344]

In the world entire, when the noise is all complete. No one claps their hands, And no one stomps their feet. When every drum is punctured, and all the cymbals broken. All the strings unstrung, and the truth no longer spoken. Thrown roses have all fallen, the roots are withered bare. The word ‘victory’ is ours, But lonely beyond repair. -------------------------------- Though the stage is empty, the feedback loud and sweet. I will clap my hands, And I will stomp my feet. 'Long Live' is such a basic thought: We agree, Be free, No we, Will never stop. By: PeterMadsen Inspired by The Chariot 2003 - 2013

[@misterfyde]

those were some beautiful words, bro :)

[@akolstedt]

Thanks for those chills. Beautiful.

[@frankcordoba6109]

made me wanna fucking cry man.. soo amazing

[@robertoalbertorodriguez2170]

beautiful...

[@jenanderson9537]

I usually can't stand when people try to invoke the name of others in their art or words, but this was truly beautiful and absolutely got to the heart of the matter.

[@giebril]

Q4 of 2019, and still missing you, guys, The Chariot!!! - All's Well That Ends Well

[@Phicxtion]

They need to reunite. With all these early 2000’s bands reuniting and putting records out I think it only makes sense these dudes just get back together one last time and give us a record.

[@kidneystonermusic]

I like your avatar

[@JamieLedweather]

I miss these guys

[@tooearlytotellmusic]

I was at their last show, it was a life changing experience to say the least. took a 17 hour drive down from NYC with one of my best friends to see it. Not 1 single regret...

[@cyrillburgundy7613]

3 years ago and still breaks my heart. Fuckin miss The Chariot bro..

[@BigD751]

Not afraid to admit that I cried like a little baby when I heard "And Shot Each Other". What an incredible moment in my life. Thank God I was so blessed to see them live. LONG LIVE THE CHARIOT!!!!

[@XckBrm]

What a beautiful doc. I actually cried a little at a few points. God damn. Long Live.

[@arrivals1]

There may never be a band like The Chariot ever again. They truly defined what it means to write music and perform for an audience. The energy, creativity, and raw emotion they brought to everything they did is something that can't be matched. Long Live that fucking band 🤘

[@Sirfuzzylip]

the fact that a band can bring tears to your eyes says it all. long live those nature shots though, absolutely mind blowing.

[@rebelkoala]

Glad I'm not the only one who cried....

[@freaksinc.9518]

I was fortunate to see the chariot live back in 2006, at a small venue i used to work for. I was also in Rehabilitation with Josh's brother, who i built a friendship during my rehab stint.He recognized my chariot shirt and began talking to me about their youth and Josh's life. I gave him my chariot shirt and we kept in touch for a good while. I wonder if he's still doing well. If you happen to read this dude, i hope you're still sober Michael. And Josh thank you for your amazing music.

[@tabby444]

I've never cried at something I have watched, and this damn video almost made me. Me and my cousin had taken the road trip to see them in Atlanta, not caring about expenses because we had to see them for the last time.

[@imagerystorm]

It was money well spent, my friend. Glad you were able to be there!

[@AssassinFrogg]

I'm on the same boat, this is the closest I've ever come to tears from watching something. Long live.

[@BenchMatthew]

TabbyDerp I cry every time man

[@noblelow]

The Chariot was something I desperately needed in my teenage years. The booking agent in my hometown had these guys in a lot, and it became church for me to go see them play. The energy in those rooms was just unbelievable. Sometimes it was literally less than 50 people, but it felt like we could be heard anywhere in the world. When Josh would come up and say, "This microphone is your microphone, this stage is your stage", it unlocked something in me that was dying to get out. These men were also incredibly kind and happy to share a few words with a young fan like me whenever I got the courage to ask. The Chariot taught me that it's okay to have big questions and big feelings and to let them out. Thank you to all those involved.

[@tombackstrom9426]

Literally choked back tears the whole time. Thank you

[@DJA7943]

Yep

[@jordank9690]

foreal ....

[@illusionistbeamish4204]

I'm right their with ya brother

[@Markitfresh_]

Just as it got to the seven footage, i broke down. This band will forever mean the world to me because they gave me something positive and beautiful to believe in at a time when i was self medicating and surrounding myself with negativity. Every day when i wake up, i glance to my left and see the poster on my wall that stevis and david signed in buffalo around christmas a few years ago and it just makes me smile like an idiot to know that I was apart of something so organic and beautiful. Long live. Be free.

[@FasterToTheEnd]

As a musician and as a music photographer, this is beautiful on a whole new level. You somehow captured the chaos and relentlessness that is The Chariot while showing their beautiful, serene, and emotional side as well. Not many people could have done this, and I honestly believe you did justice to the legacy of The Chariot. Well done, my friend. Long Live.

[@blekdiabetiker]

It’s 2022 and all emotions keeps coming back when I watch this. I’ll never stop loving this band! The impact they had on how I approach music can’t be described with words. Amazing band!

[@ThawproductionZ]

I cry every time I see this documentary...

[@CHICAGOTEDUK]

2023 and this still hits the feels. Long live.

[@livingdeadty]

2021 and I find myself coming back to this documentary once again. God, I miss this band so much. Hope everyone is doing okay in this weird Covid-19 world we live in right now. God bless and Long LIve!

[@mikaelmagaster7507]

If there was ONE band I could get back, it would be them.

[@DJA7943]

Words can't express how much this band means to me. It'll be with me forever. Long Live. Forget Not. Amen.

This deserves so much more than 100K views.

[@seanzawko09]

6/16/24 7:40pm Father’s Day, anchorage Alaska. 54 years old, 30:14 in…tears rolling down my face. I will never get to see this live. It’s like I’m there.

[@demblossom2328]

I'm... 17 years old; I was too kid to go a show of this band (I live in Argentina and cannot travel out of the country alone, because... you know... too young). I didn't have the experience to see this guys in live and broke every part of my body, but... you must know that in my home, I put "The Chariot", close my eyes... and I imagine the mosh pit, the jumps, all the show... and start to feeling something that Im no feeling with any other band. This feeling, accompanied me all my teenage and will accompany me all my life... Thanks guys. Long Live.

[@noahrubin7680]

If you made an extended cut with (if available) more interviews/ raw footage of some of the shows in a DVD format, I'd buy it without thinking twice. you'd have my money. 

[@KittyCatComa]

I've been here since 1998. The best people, the best band. Will be academically studied.

[@Televisionman4lyf]

Fuck dude I just discovered this band and '68 back in December during a pretty intense problem with opiates. This band and a band called Glass Ocean Stuck with me the whole experience, and eventually I got through it all The Chariot and 68 for my anger and my pain, while Glass Ocean were for my times of tranquility and sadness. It was all a very interesting experience. I learned about my self. And I had some interesting music to burn out the distractions and noise around me to get me through it all. It's sad to find out they broke up but, I'm pretty OK with it. It makes sense. and, they left their creations of sound behind. All I gotta say is thanks camera guy for this film, Thanks to The Chariot for the art. I hope this post doesn't get buried and you all see this. Thanks Fella's.

[@deadthrone92]

This needs to be out on DVD. This is a documentary worth owning.

[@mattm4112]

I'm still in awe. This band changed my life. I'm a professional musician now, after realizing that life should be used to do something that you feel passionately about. This band helped me realize that. What The Chariot did for us is irreplaceable. I had "Calm Rose : Violent Wind" tattooed on my arm. My only tattoo. Thank you guys for all that you have done. Long Live

[@thelegendrubyrodd]

thank you for making me cry for 56 minutes. i honestly mean that. i hadn't taken the time to think about what the chariot meant to me until i watched your film. when they announced the end of the band i sort of just pushed it aside but this made me face my feelings. the biggest thing i take away from the chariot is the concept of being real, staying true. from the bottom of my black, cold dead little heart, thank you sir for making the film that needed to be made. i wish you the best and to all the chariot fans out there, keep your heads up because the stars are still shining for you. One Love

[@seanzawko09]

I didn’t get into them till a few years back. I’m 51, they move me. I’ve watched this a few times. What an emotional roller coaster. Long Live ‘68!

LONG LIVE THE MUSIC SCENE OF 2005-2010.

[@ChristianVezina]

Wow your shots of Arizona. Especially the star time lapses.

[@giffordc19]

This video reminds of all the times I had the privilege of seeing them in their element and how grateful I am for the opportunity to just take it all in and lose my mind for an hour at a time. Best live shows I have ever been apart of and I feel sorry for those who simply don't understand, they have no idea what they missed out on. I have a drumstick on my wall from the chariot and I look at it everyday and much like this video it reminds of some awesome, unforgettable times and they all had the chariot as the soundtrack. I think that's pretty cool. LONG LIVE.

[@marshandomness]

I saw The Chariot when I was in 9th grade in an old, rundown fire station in Birmingham, Alabama. I'm almost 21 now. Those memories of going to shows and being a part of DIY music is something I will try to never forget.

[@sk8terafi3964]

Hope you all are taking care of yourselves out there. #LongLive

Legendary. They'll be talking about this band for years and years to come. Again. LEGENDARY.

Cannot hold back the tears. Forget Not.

[@jokerlaughsfirst8776]

I seen this band at the lime spider in Akron Ohio in 2007. Again at Peabody's in Cleveland in 2010. Still regarded as some of the best shows I've ever seen. Long live brothers. Take care.

[@aSheetGhost]

This band was definitely an experience. Stage presence like no other. Plus these guys are actually really cool people, they never let their successes get to their heads. If you search around KZbin for their tour videos you will find that they are HILARIOUS and kind individuals and had a blast doing something they loved. Long live, long live, hard times come again no more.

[@imagerystorm]

You're absolutely correct, they are very very very funny and awesome people to be around, in general. Thank you so much for watching.

[@mathiastherm]

This is one video that I didn't ever want to end....so sad I didn't get to see them live..I'm blessed to have met Stevis....LONG LIVE.....AMEN.

[@nickbratt4929]

My best friend and I came from Washington (near Seattle) to see the final show in Douglasville..... One year later and I still can't believe it's over. One of the best times of my life, thank you for this documentary, it brought me to tears at parts. Long Live

[@rainierfuller]

Oh man. All my feels.

[@MorrowProduction]

I've been on this earth for 29 years. Nothing has compared to a live event with the Chariot.... No energy... no spirit...no love... NOTHING compares to what the Chariot put through their crowds.

[@matthewbettinaglio9616]

Most genuine/humbling dudes I've met, in Perth, Western Australia we had more than just a show. We went & ate Nandos & then went cliff jumping afterwards, good laughs & good times. Won't forget any of it.

My old band were so massively inspired (both musically and onstage) by these guys, I'm still not over the fact that they'll never be playing shows again. Long live

Words cannot even express how incredible and powerful this band is. Though disbanded, they'll never die. #LongLive

[@iamnoimpact]

I have had this on my Watch Later for five or six years now and finally watched it. Holy fuck. Still gave me chills all these years later. I wasn’t able to check out the farewell tour, but seeing them live once within their tenure is a gift. It opened up something inside me, broke in new frames to accept new experiences into. Brilliant doc. Thanks for sharing.

[@imagerystorm]

Hey man, thank you so much for this comment, I really appreciate you. I'm sorry you weren't able to see them on their final tour - it was really something else. But hope this gave you at least a little piece of that experience. Cheers

[@vanessabragdon2687]

Was lucky to see these guys once in upstate NY. Josh is one of my favorite vocalists

[@KamikaziRainDrop]

I help run Schoolhouse Venue in Madison Heights, and am absolutely floored that the good folks from The Chariot would even think to include their time at Schoolhouse in their documentary. We were very blessed to have them there, both nights, and still consider that one of our most successful events. Schoolhouse loves you, dudes.

[@igorobukhov6476]

Its 2018 and I still miss their music and shows. I wish i had an opportunity to visit any of them.

[@darrenmcblack4289]

This band got me through the most horrible of times. Thank you chariot I love you guys. Long live the chariot.

I cried watching this. One of the first bands I really got in to when I got into Hardcore.

[@MBada-ke3mc]

years later and I still get choked up about this... I can't even begin to describe my appreciation for this band, but with that said, seeing Josh write his heart out in '68 does bring a sense of closure.

[@cyrillburgundy7613]

Thank you so fcking much for this. Never had the chance to watch The Chariot perform live. Since I live a thousand miles away from the states (Philippines). The Chariot's been a big part of my life. Cried after watching this. LONG LIVE!

Stumbled upon this video while reminiscing about how amazing it was to be there. To this day, I have never experienced a show that could rival the energy, passion, and excitement that the chariot brought on stage with them. I still tell the stories and as much as I wish I could do it again, I am thankful that I was able to be there once upon a time. Long live

AMAZING experience!!!

[@AWallaceProductions]

I was at the Masquerade show and my best friend was at the 7 Venue one. After the final show, he mentioned we should get The Chariot tattoos, and since my first time watching this I got mine. Could not be more proud to immortalize these guys on my arm. Thanks again, Derek.

[@skadude113]

So many memories seeing and listening to this band. For a band like this, 10 years is definitely something to be respected. I remember begging my mom to drive me to best buy to by the chariots first album. I grew up with this band, through good times and heart breaking times. Like so many others, I seriously want to cry while watching this knowing I will never see them again. The three times I did though will always be cherished. Thank you for this amazing film. Love live.

[@sarabutler-smith5285]

Seriously just Josh talking about finding peace in the music at the beginning can almost make me cry. I miss these boys so much.

[@AnD2LPU]

I discovered The Chariot after seeing 68 live and being impressed. Somehow a little part of me is glad I wasn't ready for this kind of music back then, because I would have been devastated. This moves me so much, there's no single bit that is no perfection and is also one of the films that made me want to make documentaries. Long live, one of the best band that ever existed and for sure one that no one will never be able to replicate.

[@c-breezy8159]

Watched this last night and started tearing up. So thankful I got to see them n Memphis with TDWP. One of the most powerful groups and greatest live shows ever. Wish they'd get back together and hit the road. LONG LIVE.

I didn't find out about the chariot until after they had just finished the last show... I have since bought as much merch, vinyl, banners, stickers, etc. I could find with the Chariot on it.... this band instantly hooked me, but the more I explored the culture, and met the other fans, I am jealous to anyone who had the privilege of experiencing the chariot

[@xBearJewx2112]

If any of you guys read this, know that The Chariot had an amazing impact on my life. I love you for it and love you for the shows we shared together. There will never be another The Chariot, but I'm at peace with that. Long live.

[@SaintChase85]

I came back to this today. I still cry. Nothing has filled the void I feel gone from you guys leaving. Like.... Last night, I usually listen to music and go out with green tea and have a cig before bed. My phone was dead. It was so quiet. All the way back to my apartment, through the hall, then getting inside. Just.... SILENCE. CRUSHING silence. It actually scared me for the first time. That's kind of how it feels for me. I'm scared. Am I ever gonna find something that makes me feel again the spectrum of passion and emotion I got from this?

[@noahz6980]

Amazing band

[@robertoalbertorodriguez2170]

this is maybe the really one band I wish with my whole heart to see live, never a central america tour right?... It's incredible how time passed since I saw the farewell tour clip and still cry a little when I saw this. This band is like a music treasure for me man.

[@purplepanda8888]

[@rossbennellick2558]

Great documentary; almost brought me to tears. Best heavy band of my era. In all honesty my love of the genre kinda stopped when they announced they were to split up.

[@fabienloustalot9696]

I remember the last and only time I've seen The Chariot in 2012 in France, one of the greatest concerts of my life.. I still remember how happy I was when I learned that a The Chariot/Birds in Row tour was planned and how sad I was when I learned that it'll be The Chariot final tour. Still a big inspiration for me, thank you for this documentary, for these images and also thank you The Chariot for being one of the greatest band on earth. LONG LIVE FROM FRANCE!

[@duhsilverrfox]

You have to pay respect, you have to show respect, even if you never cared for this band it's just something you can't hate. These guys had a art form that is so unmatched in today's music. This is so touching, us as fans we weren't just people who paid to go see them and get all sweaty.. This was family, and end the end it was like saying good bye to your dear loved ones. This is life changing

[@iamalexroberts]
