Norma Jean performs "Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste" live with Josh Scogin and Scottie Henry in Atlanta, GA on the "Oh God The Aftermath" your. (2015)

[@warpedoutside]

Josh Scogin getting his in. Throwing the mic stand, diving in the crowd, blowing out his vocal chords. Just like the old days. Haha.

[@robluxipiech4033]

Fkn gunkins brother

[@JaxWayne]

Its The Chariot in him

[@TheMichaelGebauer]

He had no regard for his physical safety. It was beautiful!

[@elcanalquenadieve409]

Psst psst psst

[@josleyn]

So around 06:04 Josh Scogin throws the mic stand... that hits me directly in the eye. For years I wished someone had videotaped this show and I just discovered this... I’m so happy right now.

[@Room-uc5se]

He went to the Ronnie Radke school of music

snare sounds like someone dropped a wet shirt on the ground

[@opadkins]

Patrick Gleason drums sounded so good in this recording, but that snare was bad

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

Yeah you can literally hear that theres a hole in one of the heads on it. Rocked out too hard lol sounds like the bottom head may have been too tight and the force sustained caused it to rip.

[@machineheadstudio6643]

Sounds perfectly fine to me. The recording as a whole sounds pretty mediocre though...and as we know, mediocrity is a killer.

[@TacoCrisma]

It sounds like the sample from When Doves Cry hahahaha

[@coltonaallen]

Lol! Sounds like someone unsheathing a sword

[@altoid8450]

Brought back so many memories from Tremont Music Hall CHARLOTTE, NC. RIP Tremont!!!

[@jonathanstubbs8158]

YES! Rip Tremont and Amos’

[@MickeyKraut419]

Tremont and Ace's Basement in Greensboro were my favorite places to go see shows when I was stationed at Bragg in the early 2000s. So many great bands coming out of NC in that era, and so many that passed through because of how strong the NC scene was in that era. I feel privileged and blessed to have lived in that time and place.

[@seanzawko09]

Why at 50 years old does I get emotional everytime I watch this. So heavy, so passionate. These two should write one of these together.

[@neom472]

The song gets better when the original singer tears it a new one

Josh wrote the song, so naturally yes

[@djk6516]

2:57 the crowd all singing does not cease to amaze me

[@nickrandles1102]

I bought this on a whim with a buddy at a Hot Topic in late 2002 among a couple other classics. Really thought nothing about the purchase, until we turned it on. I remember our faces just like it was yesterday, a mix between being genuinely scared, thoroughly in awe, and proud that we knew we were both hearing a classic album for the first time and how it would play a part in both of our lives forever, which is has 13 years later. Now as I'm older, i've shed a tear hearing the words "Mediocrity is the killer." Life is short and our decisions are weightier as we age. Let's all love each other, love HIM, and make our lives great, not mediocre.

[@darrenmcblack4289]

Yeah i remember hearing this album for the first time. Blew my mind and it still means so very much to me to this day.

[@bigoadrian]

I was with you right up until the end there! Hail Satan!! lol

[@scottdeciantis3933]

Well said. If we're not seeing things differently all these years later, something is wrong. But records like this still mean a lot to us - maybe more than they did back then.

[@Cookie.Ckrums]

Norma Jean used to be called "Luti-kriss." Their record, "Throwing Myself" is totally awesome, too!

[@devon9249]

bigoadrian same lmao

[@mikemelara9591]

Man that drum kit is soooo sick!

[@spencerhoffman1744]

I saw this band in a dude's basement in 2003. They had no lead singer. People took turns singing their songs. It might have been the best show I have ever seen.

[@HTXREP]

Love the Cory and Scottie hug at the end. Two dudes with lots of love and respect for one another. Scottie Henry is the reason Cory Brandan became the lead singer after Josh split.

[@TD_IL]

Ohhh it’s Scottie Henry that came out! Literally my favorite guitarist and i didn’t notice him

[@eddiebernays514]

old norma jean and the chariot......fuck me they were incredible.

[@nonbeliever3169]

I think the snare was on loan from Stryper's Robert Sweet. That definitely sounds like a 1980's Christian Metal snare drum.

[@cdyazza]

that snare though.... woof!

[@MarrowEternal]

What could be even more epic..? If Aaron Weiss was there😮

[@waveemann8857]

You gonna have to go back to that old Solid State DVD with the Cornerstone performance for that

[@Ceagon]

[@joshlikesbass]

Furnace Fest 2002. Sound is garbage but the video and intensity is legit!

[@angga2oioi]

sick!

[@nipgilp5232]

This song and band gets overlooked way too often for how influential they were. Norma Jean was doing things in the early 2000s that changed the scene in a big way. They were the band that paved the way for Solid State Records to pick up bands like Underoath who were the backbone of an entire generation of music. Not to mention that Norma Jean helped to carve out a place for Christian bands and labels as a forefront in the business rather than a side show.

[@arkangelarkangel5348]

Well... have you heard about Botch? ;)

[@tyrel5150]

Saw NJ and the Chariot in NOLA back in 2004 and my god was it better than this. Cory told me years later that they got banned from that venue after that show. Absolute madness and mayhem.

[@Kelp_mat]

🤘🤘🤘

[@howdydoughty7634]

My teen and young 20’s years love it

[@benmascioli1133]

The snare is a result of the mixer trying to add an expander/gate on the snare track and the release and attack were super fast. That's why it sounds the way it does. It's also probably really compressed. Probably sounded really good live.

[@mikeywhite7031]

It sounds more like they are mixing the snare on the top and bottom but all were hearing is the bottom mic. Although it does sound gated.

[@Forget1987]

Original norma jean is nothing but the best music

[@nealtheall7236]

This is still probably my favorite breakdown ever. Also I wish he would have cleared his throat at the start of the song like on the cd.

[@HeavyMellow]

anyone else notice that josh hit his head on the drum microphone at 3:56? you can actually hear it haha the mic falls off a few seconds later

[@AshleyABrannon]

Haha damn you’re right

[@SettiTauren]

Heavy Mellow yess!!!

[@machineheadstudio6643]

Josh Scogin was Norma Jean. Period. Hence me following the Chariot after the change of vocalists. I would have had more respect for them if they just changed their name, and started from scratch.

[@BloobFace]

My thoughts exactly. Norma Jean was a fine band after Josh left, but they were nothing like that first album. The Chariot is the real Norma Jean. '68 is more Norma Jean than the 'real' Norma Jean.'

[@raconbacon5649]

@@BloobFace honestly never been a fan of people calling btmktc the "real" norma jean. It was one album they made which is much more consistant with the luti-kriss sound which is an entirely different sound to even oh god. If the name change from luti kriss happened after btmktc instead of before, i dont think this argument would be happening. For me the true deep sound of nj started in redeemer. While they have changed sounds every album, they have still been relatively consistant with the redeemer sound. This is norma jean. Btmktc and oh god were not what nj is(despite how good those albums were)

[@jackcravford8744]

@@raconbacon5649 + Redeemer, apart from Cory, was still Norma Jean. But yeah, Ross Robinson pushed all dudes during Redeemer sessions. He unlocked something inside them.

[@lordsorceron]

snare sounds broken

[@bandsanonymous]

+Lord Sorceron Haha. Yea, I'm not sure what was up with that. The compressor setting on it? *Shrugs*

[@lordsorceron]

+Bands Anonymous Yknow i think he may just be using a deep snare. Not that old school super tight almost pic snare they used to use... Oh well its not st. anger so it could be worse.

[@earthrise001]

+Lord Sorceron it's the gate. you're listening to a board recording, not meant to be listened to out of context of the stage sound. the gate is opening on snare hits, being squashed to shit by a compressor and then has some top end boost to it. all those things combined do terrible things to the cymbals that are bleeding in. you hear it to a lesser degree in the toms at the very very end as well. totally normal ways to process a snare mic live and adds the cut you need in the room. sounds terrible out of context. listen to the very first snare hit of the song. sounds totally normal because no cymbals are ringing yet.

[@RyanRyan-nt3nd]

It's just tuned super low. Sounds terrible in this video and IMO isn't a good fit for their kind of music.

[@waveemann8857]

there's nothing wrong with low snare tuning in any kind of music. the way his kit is tuned has never sounded bad with them or with FBTMOF.

[@seanzawko09]

So, I wasn’t a fan of Josh’s, heard ‘68. Got me. I love Norma Jean, I love ‘68. I love the fact that he will sing with them on occasion. I haven’t got in the chariot yet. I’m gonna try em out though. They definitely deserve a listen. Norma Jean has all the good stuff. Heavy, chaotic, they make you think. They also make me want to lose my mind. Thank you for posting this.
