Norma Jean - Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste (Hellfest 2003)

[cricketsintune]

Who the fuck cares if he sucks at singing? The band sounds good and everyone is obviously having a good time.

[SenorObesity]

Good god Brad was terrible

[ChuckMcChip]

@SenorObesity He was fun to watch though haha

[SenorObesity]

@ChuckMcChip hahaha I bet he was. This video was entertaining as anything

[MuayThaiFan240]

This is the best video of Norma Jean..LOL

[iknowadog]

i saw these guys in 7th grade (with corey branon) they should stick to the studio. haha

[bobbyjohnbunn]

3:56 = KARMA

[enoe]

even when I loved NJ I found this performance HORRID.

[TheJoes0823]

Brads voice must have been shot at this performance! I know him and he is much better than this!

[markushollywood]

Fuck this is awesome. That right there is everything good about hardcore. Doesn't surprise me that so few people see it.

[antsandlions]

At one point the guitarist has his head against the amp I dunno what it is but I just get this feeling of "just fucking kill me" lol

[antsandlions]

this shit is so funny... God Norma Jean WITHOUT Josh or Cory doing vocals... What a nightmare ahahga

[cujo3550]

Josh Scogin is a fat piece of shit.Brad is a amazing singer just a bad show.Hell i personally like all of Brads projects after this wanna be hardass band.

[postmortem777]

this performance is great! it is so raw. their old vocalist and older stuff was so much better!

[hornsandtails27]

This guys stage presence and voice killed the song

[luis61961944]

he cant sing but he is just awesome in the stage

[urbeat2006]

ahhh, this brad norris guy does have terrible vocals. he does have good stage presence though.

[Germicide]

Although Brad's vocals are down right awful I feel his stage presence is actually quite good.

[imthatguy4011]

At a eleven seconds into it the bands like oh shit this is gonna be a mess

[Altered6Chicken]

Scogin made the best choice to form The Chariot. Norma Jean fell apart without him. The Chariot is sooo much better.

[Bitemedemilavato]

@Altered6Chicken they are ok even though and shot eachother is a good song

[Dblecheezburger]

Love the band, but i Hate their pants.

[NoHeroes06]

That 30 seconds or so where he went into the crowd and lost the mic was definitely the best part.

[mau571]

justin bieber can scream better than that shit

[ArchDukeFrancis1914]

@mau571

Justin Beiber DOES scream better than that on his hit song "Baby". hahaha. This has gotta be one of the worst vocal performances in the history of history.

[sharksinyourmouth89]

wow. not only can he not scream for shit, but he prances around like a dbag

[ZapanTheberserker]

If Josh were on mic, this video would be the best video performance of Norma Jean, ever

[UTSGermany]

holyyy....

is it a shred ???????????? :D:D:D:D

[luis61961944]

lol i actually enojoy this fucker

[Phenomate]

This is the epitome of douchey emo kids wearing girls pants. God I hate this.

[diabeticmonkey]

The singer is acting like that obnoxious kid character from mad tv. i want to hurt him.

[siire]

wow, how does he end up doin vocals in one of the big bands of this kind of genre?

[lolocaust15]

Norma Jean at Furnace Fest was epic. Their best performance on youtube imo.

[lolocaust15]

Out of all the people they could've used as vocalist they use Brad? What the fuck were they thinking while they were rehearsing?

[TKoneseventeen]

Brad is much better in his new band

[ISLAPJUSTINBIBER]

@TKoneseventeen what band is brad in now plese tell me?

[TKoneseventeen]

@ISLAPJUSTINBIBER Im pretty sure hes in Lt. Snakebeard

[iknowadog]

@ISLAPJUSTINBIBER brad and the sounding like crapmunks.

[suicidechapel13]

wish i was there..FUCK

[grifvie]

back when the scene was going good

[ISLAPJUSTINBIBER]

just coz hes bad dont mean the crowd should rape him

[theforkisonthetable]

this is the one badn that year that got the most energetic responses that year, but the singer did not do them ustice. they only had this single for a couple tours, and you can see exactly why in this video

he sounds and acts like a fucking retard who put way too much thought into what emo was at the time.

great band

they have quite a history

this video is basically just part of history lmao

[Reneetgeefshuysen]

Norma Jean, legends in those day's to bad josh is not in this video, he'd rock the stage

[EdsonEatsAirplanes]

1:11. i love this song, but that just killed me

[sleeptones]

lmao



[sharksinyourmouth89]

wow they suck

[xStaycleanx]

Is this a joke? They sounded so bad.

[NinjaFaceJon]

HAHA I looked up this video knowing the comments would be about how shitty they sound.

[AugustBurnsRed23]

Lutikriss and Norma Jean were the shit. Bless the Martyr and Kiss the child take a giant shit on anything that NJ has done since then. Josh leaving was the death of the band.

Btw Josh with NJ>>>>>>>>The Chariot

[iknowadog]

why is there a bunch of people wearing backpacks?

[tgukrule]

@iknowadog somewhere to put their packed lunches haha

[iknowadog]

@tgukrule haha

[DL345]

wow.....horrible vocals

[Cantgrowastache]

yes, please hand the crowd the mic, anyone is an upgrade.

[sabaths1fan]

Kill Brad

[brobroish]

this is def epic sucking

[thewanderer219]

Next time my wife tells me there is no talent in screaming... I'm showing her this video

Jesus Christ is not a fashion

[ILIVEONETID]

My favorite Norma Jean song :)

[njfunkyfresh]

The singer walks funny

[NocturnalHolocaust]

This performance was both horrible and awesome at the same time. If you're gonna suck, do it well.

[noneofyoucanspell]

This dude's stage presence is phenomenal.

[micahpharoh]

@noneofyoucanspell I agree. He can't sing worth anything, but his actual performance was good, imo

[markh4xnoob]

Thats an embarrassment to metal haha!

[Mariooo57]

it was with Brad ?

[specialdefect]

WTF is this, I don't even-

[OmarHangs]

Memphis

[xmagic777shoesx]

You morons that isn't Josh this is a random guy that just did vocals for them after Josh quit.

[IrisSkylines]

Man thats dissappointing....the recording of this song was really good....but the lead singer is terrible. It just sounds like hes messing around. I believe they have a different lead singer now.

[alonerocks]

i hope this is the last show of that guy .. i love norma jean but .. this is the worst show ever :S

[BlackForestFilms]

this is disgusting.

[michaelz6366]

sweet god the vocalist sucks in this vid

[xAugust10x]

it seems like hes trying to make fun of josh by copying his moves and stuff but idk, is this a joke?

[BreakinGuitarz33]

I just love how despite the fact the singer sucks balls, this may go down as one of the greatest performances of this song Ever

[extrasystole]

this video sounds like it has lowered note or pitch or octave or something. because listen, instruments and Brad and even crowd sound like shit. anyway, stage and crowd are amazing. this video is not one of the best live hc performances, it's the best ever.

[dabballer25]

FAIL

[dabballer25]

FAIL

[TruthFamineFloater]

oh my... im not one to diss on musicians but what the fuck? can someone explain how this guy ever ended up on stage let alone performing at Hellfest.

[xTylerDeex]

this is living proof screaming takes talent

[chrisfromshaolin]

you are being sarcastic right?

[schnickerface]

@xTylerDeex it does prove it..... this guy cant scream for shit, and the chariot blows as well

[cpops95]

@xTylerDeex look up the chariot. That's the vocalists new project.

[Meatballhead07]

It's funny that the most widely-seen professional shot version of this song is with a vocalist they had for only a short while.

Everyone should calm down, he's obviously not there for his pipes. Norma Jean had to act fast when Josh Scogin left, and Brad Norris was the replacement. He has a great stage presence, and he never ended up recording with them, so I'd say no damage done.

[doritos180]

Haha, who is this pathetic front man. I mean the crowd are great but his vocals are horrible and his dance moves are laughable.

[marmotamiasma]

whos this fuck? XD

[wolfganggrrrr]

"murdaaah...WAOOW!"

[grindcoremaniac]

goddamn. this guy is definitely not josh scogin or cory putman. he made norma jean sound like a joke. fuck that. they rule live with cory.

[mycomputer5]

fucking hilarious. I love a band t hat is just a joke. and can actually have fun while they play. just like enter shikari, every second of playing is just a fucking joke.

[iknowadog]

I saw norma jean and i remember it being better than this.

[Scottieonfire]

What the heck? Was this vocalist the fill in between Josh and Corey?

This guy is lame.

[aaronthemacabre]

haha..i like norma jean..and when a friend of mine showed me this years back on dvd..i about fucking lost it..easily the most hilarious live performance ive seen to date..haha..his flamboyances is hystericly idiotic and too top it off hes just plan horrible..haha..love how the crowd takes the mic and dont give it back..2:06..dudes like 'the fuck''.

[BrownCore]

Yeah...worst vocalist ever.

[killinscenekids1by1]

worst vocalist ever... period.

[darrenmykel]

murder.

[sharksinyourmouth89]

they suck live

[evy1010]

umm...what kind of dignity do you have to be commenting and talking shit about brad norris over fucking youtube you scared mother bitch.

[LightningGod]

so what kind of dignnity you have replying my comment over youtube, you scared mother dick

[ashesinthefallxx]

what are you his manager?

[AMeN420]

Brad Norris is just some loser who was filling in touring duties cause Josh left, and yes the Chariot piss on norma jean, the anti mother blew, and wars and rumors of wars is awesome.

[Chisumisfregginsexy]

Anti Mother blew Wars and Rumors of War out of the water. The Chariot's stuff always sounds the exact same.

[Clewthh]

Yeah sorry but Anti Mother is the tits.

[skinlessdwarf]

the vocalist ruined this song

[bcpj98]

The worst live performance I've ever seen.

[shawnfixt]

and i LOVE it!

[lawlkatz7]

awful

[timma2000]

he was just having himself a good ol' time. brad norris aint nothin to fuck with. the rest of the band was good. fuck you bro.

[lawlkatz7]

Calm down dude. I'm definitely a fan of Norma Jean but personally I feel like Brad ruined this performance. Josh Scogin, in my mind, is much better.

[revenge102992]

@lawlkatz7 he did ruin it

[GrahamCrackar]

@lawlkatz7 This isn't brad. This is a fill in. My friend saw NJ on hellfest.

[iknowadog]

@lawlkatz7 josh was good, but in my opinion arron put hair on norma jean's chest.

[dkangell09]

brad sucks so much, josh is the bomb...no questions asked, he sounds like shit

[evy1010]

you sound like shit faggo

[mikewoody17]

i would of hate to be on the bottom of that pile 1:41

[evy1010]

uck yopu

[mypennis]

he might as well go to taking back sunday, norma jean is brutal voice with pwoer, he sucks

[evy1010]

fuck you you dick loving faggot.

[skateanddrum101]

its funny their a christian band and playing hellfest. i love them though.

[aggresivextones]

the vocal has no respect for himself

[BadwithDates2]

i rather listen to brad norris then that brendan guy they have now. singing and shit. i was too pissed when i first heard bayonnetwork. there lastest cd was a huge improvement from the last two. still isnt touching bless the martyr at all. damn someitmes i wish they broke up after they did their lutikriss and early norma jean stuff. they were my fav band in 9th grade.

[elcielo1981]

i would be embarrased of this

[faloppa666]

wow!!! was an intense show, regardless of the vocalist

[BreakinGuitarz33]

bahaha thats funny as hell...

gotta give it to the singer

[TCIclassProject86]

Brad Norris is my Hero!!!

[Tra1n3dassassin]

This is true Norma Jean, not the sell out shit they are now.

[BreakinGuitarz33]

dude whatever, they've worked their asses off to get to this point..so what if theyve got a few riff oriented songs now?

[grindcoremaniac]

how have they sold out? they play small venues all the time. i saw them with the chariot and horse the band up in baltimore at a tiny club called the ottobar. the place wasn't even packed.

[Chipofthebass]

Lol oh brad, what have you done...

[yuckfou312]

wow brad norris ruined this song

[ThemLizards]

OOOooooOoOooOoooooOOO well, brad norris sucks! lol

[XmaXimilianX]

this isn't Josh you noob..This is Brad Norris on the vocals.

[madeinatesttube]

who is this guy????

what band is he from?

[XmaXimilianX]

That's a good question.I only found out,that he was a member of Norma Jean from 2002 until 2004.

[ThemLizards]

Lol... wtf? Josh sounds TERRIBLE in this... Usually he is much better. Whats the deal?

[tytygood]

thats not josh. tis brad norris.
