Because It's There - HAKEN (Conner Green Bass Audition)

[@tommaclean4879]

It would be irresponsible of me to influence the band's decision, and I don't want to jinx the outcome, but for what it's worth, this is the kind of bass player I aspired to be. Beautiful tone Conner! If you get the gig, tell the guys not to mess with it for me ;)

[@KillswitchEngage42]

Hi, Tom. I immensely appreciate your comment. I've loved listening to you on Haken recordings over the years, and I hope you're now finding that state of fulfillment you mentioned! I'll be sure to let them know ;) Thank you for your comment once again!

[@wallie2k747]

Beautiful

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Tom!! So cool of you to comment on here!! I jist love you bass playing soooo much!!! Your bassline on here gives me the tear jerkers seriously! Sucks you had to go. That smith bass tho!!!

[@bassimprovjams3772]

@@KillswitchEngage42 conner!!!! Sooo awesome of you to comment on Tom's comment it does not get any better than this two of my new favorite players!!! I love that smith and your dingwalls!!! Would just love to have the pleasure to meet you when you guys come to Florida again!!! I love your work as well. The band made a perfect pick to fill the spot of Toms amazing playing !!! Keep rocking brother!!

Fantastic bass player. Absolutely gorgeous performance and feeling with the bass. You deserve 200% being in such a awesome band like HAKEN. Congratulations!

[@connergreen3421]

Thanks very much!

[@zacharyhadba4139]

The bass lord himself! Still holds up beautifully.

[@anowysz6]

man, over 7 years later I still find myself watching this video from time to time. i really hope haken brings back a little more of this style and emotion....not necessarily just the style of this song, but i thought the mountain and restoration seemed to have a little more human quality than the newer ones. don't get me wrong though, they're all amazing

[@davguev]

I feel kinda the same. After Restoration, I haven't liked much of their music (or any, at all). I do hope they return to their more organic sound.

[@algorix8420]

@@davguev So, how did you rate last album? For my taste it's like 9.5/10

[@davguev]

@@algorix8420 I just heard parts of the songs and, as I thought, I didn't like it, so it wouldn't be fair for me to rate it, since it'll be pretty low.

[@algorix8420]

@@davguev that s ok, but maybe It needs the right listen at the right time, give It another chance when you feel like to

[@progfoxmusic]

Your rendition of the path and afterwards genuinely brought a tear to my eye. I didn't ask for this Conner, how could you :'(

[@KillswitchEngage42]

+Andy Robison Thanks, Andy. You're a sweet boy.

But you are Chonner.

[@sebisman]

That ending... well, the whole thing is just beautiful

[@kaingates]

No man deserves to be the bassplayer in Haken more than you do man! That The Path-theme from 3:00 and the improvisation afterwards was truly amazing. Can't wait to hear Restoration!

[@Telinstryata]

There are no words to describe how amazing this is. Your position in Haken is well deserved. I love the ending.

[@connergreen3421]

Wow, thank you! That's very kind.

[@zTeSkei]

Amazing playing, amazing tone, amazing everything. I´ve been listening to Haken everyday for the past 2 years now, and i´m truly glad for the job you and the band did on Affinity. Amazing album. Thank you for the ending solo, it was absolutely beautiful.

[@george_was_curious6710]

I'm not a bass player myself, but that was true art right there.

[@MrEstiui]

Watching this video makes me want to hear Pareidolia after the solo, just as happened on the last gigs. Congratulations for being a permanent member of Haken, you totally deserve it! Looking forward to hearing your next album. BTW, I loved your moustache, it was so fun!

[@connergreen3421]

Yeah, I'm sure I'll retire this little solo thing. It was fun to do though. Thanks for the congratulations! You must have been at the Barcelona show then haha Cheers, man!

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Conner i love how you took the time to reply to people on here, I hope you see this i know its late, but I jist found you guys less than a year ago and you guys are my new favorite ba.d right up there with dreamtheater! And that says a ton, it feels great to finally find a band that compares to the DT

[@nicod5565]

I`ve recently been introduced to the almighty Haken and play a 6 string bass myself in the progressive music scene. You, however, blew me away with this interpretation especially being my favorite Haken song. You kick ass Conner; your place in this group is easily justified by your fine touch. Cheers!

[@connergreen3421]

Thanks for your comment, Nico. It's much appreciated!

[@thebassofmontecristo]

I knew it, l knew it, l knew it! I am extremely happy for you, bro! Congrats!

[@alexribeiro4934]

You, sir, are a true monster on bass. The more I study and try to play Haken basslines, I recognize the genius you guys are. All the best for you and all the Haken lads, looking forward to see you in São Paulo this month!

[@diogoubermensch9255]

This band, Haken, is totally fantastic. I love the feeling that you guys have, and the musics are unbelievable awesome. Congratulations for this great video, Conner! The final part really thrills me, every time I watch.

[@connergreen3421]

Diogo Ubermensch Cheers, Diogo!

[@TheSmooshster]

Gotta hear more of this band, and, reading the comments, you were selected from an audition? It hits me in the heart, the way you play is very expressive, nothing is monotone because every note has a character all its own. Players like you are the reason I decided to play bass.

[@diegoalexandroguitar]

Cada vez que escucho tu interpretación de Because it's There, simplemente no puedo evitar emocionarme. Awesome!! (Sorry, my english is... Too Bad :( Greetings from Panama!)

[@marcopassiatore3345]

Like I said to you un Milan, you are awesome. You know, there are tons of good bass players but that solo at the end is pure art. It's simply beautiful. Keep on the awesome work!

[@connergreen3421]

Cheers, Marco! Again, thanks a lot for coming to the show in Milan. See you next time!

[@karakucinski9547]

I've seen this a few times before but it never gets old. This is all so heartfelt and tasty! I'm glad you discovered the bass so you could give people like me something great to listen to.

Sadly Haken is a band I JUST discovered and I'm RELISHING every minute of it!! Mouth agape, I watched this audition tape!! Albeit a little late, congratulations on making it to Haken!! Glad they have you. It's MORE than obvious that you deserve the position :) Thumbs up all the way from India!!

[@connergreen3421]

Hi, Yogesh. I'm glad you were introduced to Haken! Thanks for the kind words and I hope Haken comes to India soon. Cheers from the US!

[@dylanfink8336]

The thing about this interpretation is that it flows, it's not just a chordal written part like all the other interpretations. Great work! My opinion is still the same since the first day this was out, it's the best version and he has the best facial hair.

[@KillswitchEngage42]

You're the man, Dylan. Thanks again.

[@davelowery5409]

[@jorgekaz07]

great job. obviously youre a very talented individual, right guy for the job

[@LLCoolPeas]

Hi Connor. Nice playing. I came to see you guys a couple of weeks ago in Nottingham. I had actually travelled to see BTBAM for the 6th time or something, but was blown away by Haken's performance. So much I bought a shirt which Ross kindly signed for me! Probably the best live band I've ever seen, for reals ~.-. It was a fantastic show. Since then i've been discovering more about your band; this video most recently after realising the guy I saw in Nottingham on the bass was not the guy I was seeing on older videos of Haken. This piece has also inspired me to start playing my bass again! So.. thanks for that! Good luck to you and Haken for the future! \m/

[@KillswitchEngage42]

+Jay Rispin Hi, Jay. Glad to hear you enjoyed the Nottingham gig. We certainly enjoyed ourselves. I hope you're still bassin'! Cheers.

[@DuketheFish73]

Hi Conner, I read your were chosen by Haken to be the new bass player. You're awesome man, and it's so cool for you to be involved in this adventure. Haken is one of the best modern prog band. Congrats!

Thanks so much! They are amazing, aren't they?

[@KillswitchEngage42]

Thank you, Aaron! I'm glad you dig it.

[@KillswitchEngage42]

Hi, Victor. Thank you for your comment! The support from other Haken fans has been great so far, but of course, the live audition stage is the end-all-be-all of this whole process. I'm sure there will be some great bass players auditioning as well. Thanks again!

Hey Conner, we saw you in Cologne with the guys and we were absolutely flashed. We thought you fit in so naturally and well with the band! So does that mean you're staying with them? There has rarely ever been a concert where I focused much on the bass player - you definitely changed that;) It was a pleasure seeing you all together. This was just sooo much fun. Love the melodic bass solo - you played that in Cologne, too - so beautiful! Only recently watched the tour diary - haha. This is all going to be so great. Them guys better treat you well;) All the best.

[@connergreen3421]

The Cologne was so much fun! Beautiful crowd and good energy. Yes, I'll be staying with them as a permanent member. That's so nice to hear! It's been an amazing time with them so far, and I'm sure it will continue that way. They're all great musicians and great people. Thank you again for your compliments. Hopefully I'll see you at one of the German shows in August. If not, I'm sure I'll see you before long!

[@sajxcape2655]

well with the whole interpretation thing, it really showcases your style and creativity. great way of finding the right person for the band.

[@KillswitchEngage42]

Qaetf Loyhif Yeah, I think you're right. "Because It's There" was a perfect choice, due to the open texture. It really gave us bass players a chance to stray from the original recording.

[@sajxcape2655]

Definitely the right choice...its the type of song that the bass sets the tone.. it kind of makes the song your own in a way

[@sajxcape2655]

[@xNauticus]

Great work! Your interpretation is beutiful. May I ask what software you used to remove the original bass from the song?

[@connergreen3421]

Thanks very much! I didn't use any software. When Haken was auditioning for a new bass player, they sent around the song without the bass, so I just recorded to that. Cheers!

Hey man, When are you going to Sudamerica?. In Chile I´m showing your music, is incredible.

[@3x3Qt]

Which delay / reverb was used on this?! It sounds incredible! Love this performance. Glad you got the gig. Clearly you've put the time in, and you really "sing" through your instrument - if that makes any sense, haha!

[@vikramsubramaniam6699]

Kevin Stewart I think the key is finding a player from a different genre. Conner is a jazz graduate

[@benjamindady4366]

Wow absolutely blown away! How long have you been playing if you don't mind me asking? I'm 16 and have always wanted to play bass but started drums instead - so you think I've still got time? :)

[@peter-andrepliassov4489]

Go for it! Some people might disagree with me, but I think it's never too late too start playing a new instrument. However, if you want to become a great bass player it does require a lot of time and practice. But if you already play drums that will really help you to learn quickly. There are also a lot of benefits to playing bass. You will always be in demand, every band needs a bass player. And if you learn the music theory behind it then you will be able to communicate much better with other musicians. And also, it's very fun! Good luck!

[@teddyruleszombies]

Thanks man! The high demand definitely appeals to me and I also play sax so I have the musical notational theory behind me already - I just need to work on my fingers! Now I'm gonna be on the lookout out for a nice beginner bass... Any ideas?

[@peter-andrepliassov4489]

Benjamin Lewis-Skeath I'm afraid I can't help you very much with finding a bass. I am mainly a keyboard player, but several months ago I started playing double bass and it went great. I picked it up pretty quickly and I've already played two shows as a double bass player. But I've never really been a bass guitarist. However, I did a little research and I found that Squier basses are really good for beginners as well as professionals. They sound great along with being versatile for a reasonably cheap price. But there are a few other options. If you are into heavy metal, you might wanna consider an Ibanez or an ESP LTD. Ibanez basses are also versatile and can also be used for genres like jazz and rock. And one of the great things about Ibanez guitars in general is their thin necks, making it much easier to get a good grip around the fretboard and play with less difficulty. And then there is Yamaha, which also has a lot of high quality products although I am not too familiar with their bass guitars. But all in all I can just say good luck with your choice of bass and I hope I was of any help to you. :)

[@peter-andrepliassov4489]

Benjamin Lewis-Skeath Oh, and I also forgot to mention Fender. Another great brand, I suggest you check them out!

[@connergreen3421]

Hi, Benjamin. Sorry for the late response. I started playing when I was sixteen, so I'd say go for it!!!

[@wassuppaska]

love the The Path harmonization at the end :) When's your audition?

[@KillswitchEngage42]

Thanks a lot! It's in a little less than a month. I couldn't be more excited!

[@wassuppaska]

Conner Green Congrats on... well, what is it? a guest spot on the European tour? Member on a trial basis? They picked a solid rock to lean on, that's for sure! You have a metronomic quality to your playing, especially on Portals, and that's meant as a compliment :)

Well I have only see 3 guys of the audition... By far this is at least the most serious guy: Good camera, you can actually hear the bass on the entire song, this is not a home-made audition, good performance and preparation. Good luck!
