I love that you can hear the bass in Haken, all their albums are mixed quite well so you get to hear all the great things that Connor brings into the music.

[@alexburchell1891]

Yeah, the mixes always manage to showcase all of the instruments equally. Helps that Nolly who produced Virus and Vector is a phenomenal bass player in his own right too.

[@michaelberresford4291]

@@alexburchell1891 100% agree, 1 of the reasons I can appreciate everyone individually in the group, I really like every memeber that's been in Haken, even Diego, while he had his own thing going on it fit well with the group sound.

[@Foreck]

The entire passage in The Architect is magistral.

[@emkii1640]

Still one of my favourite songs from them. Its literally "The Haken Song". Full of eastereggs and nods. And that smooth playing of course :)

[@michaelberresford4291]

I think it's great that each part of Mess comp has a different reference/s, but also while they are obvious they mixed them in a different way so that it sounds different very reminicent of the way the premonition was written for visions.

[@mirkecWii]

Phenomenal song, so bad that they broke it into parts

[@martinocogarcia]

1:48 that bit blew my mind

[@Kevin2341]

He's doing that thing people do with guitars to screw around, except he actually makes it sound good!

[@Glassmoon78]

For the last 3 days, this section has been looping in my head. Haken's been reading my mind!

[@Lucca-An-Aspiring-Poet]

Jesus Christ, the EU Tour will be something else! My first concert in over 7 years, and what a show to dive back into it!

[@isaiahmumaw]

Makes it look so effortless

[@ChrisBevanBass]

Man, that hybrid picking in the Sect 😅

[@wade7488]

a different approach from the tab book

[@fabioriato]

As a fellow bass player, that's exactly what blows my mind in this playthrough!

[@pouriyanaderi4232]

Tnx to adam getgood audio engineering 👌🏻

[@chessbrainiac]

That Marigold riff is one of the coolest riffs ever.

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

That prominent use of unison. Very Haken. Such a great band.

[@andytran47]

Yes nil by mouth octave unisons came to mind

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

@@andytran47 it’s in tons of their songs. There’s even moments where keys and voice are doing it too. I only recently became aware of it after 3 years of listening lol.

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

Yeah it’s sooo prominent. You just keep hearing it more and more lol.

[@vikingmetaliscool]

Would love to see a full play-through.

[@_imago]

Good to know the intro to The Sect is as hard as it sounds. That hybrid picking is incredibly cool!

[@robertocamposgiesemann4139]

Oh, Conner. You beautiful, magnificent groove-making beast. AWESOME job!!!

[@MrFriccolini]

The way that "the sect" sets in leaves absolutely everyone and their dogs banging their head

[@WattchomanBrandySavage]

That bass tone is fkn wild

[@XwhiskyX]

Brilliant Conner! That bass is a beauty!

[@emmaholley560]

the envy i have for this bass playing is unreal xD great job btw :D by far my favourite bassist out there. its criminal that haken isnt bigger than what they are tbh ^^

[@flowresonance1248]

What a killer, beastmode bass-sound!

[@flowkap6911]

I'm going to see your show in Luxembourg 19.03.2023. im super hyped already 🤘

[@arayapoujian3108]

damn - technique, sound, tone. legit. Awesome to see it played .

[@sybot235]

Incredible performance, I love it.

[@Eincrou]

That was great - thanks for sharing!

[@alexandroskourtesakis3673]

Hope they will play this in the upcoming tour!

[@chessbrainiac]

I think this is a quite obvious hint in that direction.

[@corporalpunishment924]

Damn, I’ve always loved Haken and knew they all can obviously play incredibly but the bass play through is next level. Hats off.

[@coma39]

this looks sooooo fun to play omg

[@phil2024x]

Really nice!

[@sofihardy97]

increíble !!!

[@burrasca71]

Watching you playing this wonderful song is simply amazing! Can’t wait to see you in Milan (19 march) together with my two sons! 🤟

[@spencehoward320]

I finally tried to learn some of this and holy crap ❤❤ it’s fast

[@JustinWhy_]

that was really good conner

[@SL9Phoenix]

full playthrough of Messiah Complex PLSSS

[@ryantaylor4196]

I just entered the MATRIX with this song. I dont know where to begin.

[@KnoxNick]

Seeing you guys in June in Chicago! I know you'll be touring Fauna, but damn would it be awesome if you played this for an encore!

[@TheLeesebba]

When I tried to transcribe The Scent, it blew my mind how difficult and insane the technique is and I was really hoping that I was wrong and there’s another way of playing it that would make more sense. Well, unfortunately, I wasn’t 😳

[@Gatsquatch.300]

Jesus the breakdown part. I’m not worthy

[@quaevox1351]

this is sick

[@raghadjammoul7579]

Whenever I listen to this song I come up with a movie in my head 🤘😂

[@chillymilly6063]

I think he likes to play bass

[@fabiodias5527]

FUCKING LOVE this section of the song, man. I don't even play bass but this shit definitely makes me want to learn it!!

[@basselmtaweh3103]

I bet that he wrote the riff 🔥🔥🔥

[@obiwanjacobi]

Hybrid picking on a bass... Cool!

[@markhaessler4395]

man that's some tricky fingering, great damn playing.

[@mtraceless1]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤

[@enthos38]

Neato 👍

[@brando747]

Our band has been working on a cover of the full suite. And god damn guys I think the sect riff is the hardest part, even over glutton

[@dakotahorrell9538]

This dude kills, shame he's just a barista at Starbucks....

[@scottyecora]

Many super talented musicians playing prog have a "regular" job to make a living. Sad but true.

[@snake101st]

Not sure what kind of witchcraft is necessary to not only have that playing ability, but for a bass tuned to F# to have such clarity (never heard anything like it - and I have a dingwall and decent gear myself) as well... Just glad we're all able to experience it. Looking forward to the tour!

[@snake101st]

Note to add - I do think he's back to not using the low F# strong here, but still, it was crazy to see in person on the last tour hah

[@matthewduncan9405]

Yeah he just has it at B and uses the xtender key to drop to A when needed.

[@moritzwieder5173]

Jesus, the precision

[@edmundh]

Is it a conspiracy theory to suggest that Connor Green is actually an alien from the planet Basstopia?

[@Arrow2theACL]

Is this a taste of what is coming on the tour? :wink: Really would enjoy this one live.

[@CoralineBassJones]

Wooow

[@derekofbass]

smashing, brother... all dead in the pocket!

[@bensongbenson]

What are these BUTT vocals with these masterful riffs?

[@lemuelwonah7076]

It's all the Messiah Complex - you can't listen to one without wanting to start from Part I

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

bro i desperately need tabs for the intro to the sect

[@Emmett2000]

DUDE

[@kevinstewart8120]

How do you guys write this stuff 😅

[@xeriux1585]

little easter egg on the right (the reddi is a beast of a di)

Now, that's what I mean when I say college campus Starbucks barista

[@slavicobelrus2466]

Your bass but fretless 🤯

[@reibarata]

ummmm is it supposed to cut out like that?

[@isaiahmumaw]

Yes

@@isaiahmumaw but there's another minute in the song

Not bad, but can he play... Tom Sawyer!?!?!?!?!?
