Woah, Haken on Loudwire! Yeah!
ikr
Plot twist. It’s actually just Corey Taylor...
I really appreciate how open he is about acknowledging Dream Theater as a primary influence.
At this point with the friendship they have with Mike Portnoy shouldn't be a surprise
Definitely not a surprise Lol... I first heard of these guys thru a Facebook post by Jordan Rudess 🙂
They remind me of DT before they made their millions. So much energy and creativity.
I just recently started listening to these guys, and the DT influence was immediately apparent, and strongly, to where if someone had told me it was new DT, I wouldn't of questioned it until I realized the keys weren't so intrusive.
Finally a prog guitarist
... that is not John Petrucci or any other member of Dream Theater
@@raphaelcote3577 oh so Dream Theater is the only band allowed to be prog?
@@zacharypeterson5540 What?! Dude did you even read what I said? I said Finally another Prog Guitarist that is NOT a Dream Theater member, meaning that NO Dream Theater are not the only Prog Band. Try to read before replying
@@raphaelcote3577 I thought you were disagreeing because he wasn't a member of Dream Theater, you could interpret it both ways
@@raphaelcote3577 yeah I also interpreted it as if you were disagreeing in a sort of tongue in cheek way or something. Relax buddy lmfao
When it's time for Haken riffs he says "I'd better get my other guitar" Lol and out comes the beast with extra strings and squiggly frets... 😃
Haken is One of the greatest Modern Prog Metal bands, don't @ me
Facts
Facts
@Gokhan Ercan

One of? M8 they ARE the greatest
It's strangely satisfying to find out that a guitar player from your favorite band listens to the same stuff you do.
He played jimi hendrix and gilmour on a headless, I think boomers are lost at this point 😭
And he nailed the clean tone on wish you were here
Are you joking 😂
Haken has become my favorite band ever since I was first introduced through Vector. I adore every album released so far and am waiting ever impatiently for Virus.
@@ansems3136 I love it I deeply love it
You can tell the measure of a musician, by how they speak about other musicians. Richard giving praise to everyone from Hendrix to Skynyrd shows he's a real student to his craft. Haken-Virus is a testament to how creative and proficient these boys are. Hands down the best album of the year so far, and the one to beat. They do a killer live show as well.
Falling Back to Earth is such a banger!
MJ I agree. That little soft bridge breakdown is phenomenal. That whole album is amazing. I’m making my way through Virus right now. I’ve waited for this, so good!
Yes, totally! The live version is soooo good, the band is on point and the singer is even better live imo..
he went .......and justice for all. well done. hugely underrated.
Wow he covers a lot of ground here, and captures a lot of different moods
I love how he's playing One, probably one of the most recognisable intros of all time by a huge, huge band, and it sounds like Haken. What a really unique and characteristic clean tone
Erotomania is the riff I play when warming up for a gig or recording. Such a great fingering exercise. Rich is such an ace player.
YES! This man is insane. Haken is such a great band, been jamming Virus nonstop since the release
I saw Haken Last November with Devin Townsend in the Markthalle in Hamburg. They blew me away, what a great live band!
Was there, too - awesome!
That Carousel riff... Astonishing.
If you like any of the artists that Rich is (very cleanly) emulating here, go listen to Haken. My favorite thing about them (and Richard's playing) is their ability to tap into all of these influences to create something truly fresh. One of my favorites for sure!
I had the same path to prog metal. I used to listen a lot of hard rock back then Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and Jimi hendrix was my favorite musician. Then I start to listen more Metallica, Iron Maiden and Nirvana Alice in Chains. Mid nineties a friend of mine told me you have to listen this band. And they were Dream Theater.
Such a balanced sounding guitar, can go from Gilmour to Hammett. Sounds amazing
Heck yeah! Haken on loudwire!
This guy is already a great song writer... He's becoming a living legend of Prog in some years to be recognized ; him and Akerfeld.
Underrated band and incredible guitarist.
Richard is one of my favourite guitarists! His recent solo album was also a mind blowing musical journey and one of the top releases from last year!
The more Haken the better🤘🏼thanks Rich and thanks Loudwire for backing them up.
Can't wait to hear the riff he teased on virus. Nice to see some prog on here instead of ghost and Slipknot 24/7
Quentin Ford well ghost is decent band... but yeah Virus is AOTY
@@Morfeusm ghost ok I'm just not a fan of the vocals, and that loudwire loves kissing their ass lol
Quentin Ford ha that is very true they tend to have lots of press coverage while more talented bands stay unnoticed...
btw I can’t stop listening new Haken and Pain of Salvation songs last few days, have them on repeat 😅thanks for remaining me there are even other bands lol
Rich is covering a lot of ground of inspiration here... showcasing the large array of influence prog musicians have. Love it
Guitar looks like a traditional vintage ax that literally was butchered!😆 I love it man and you sound amazing!✌💛🤘
My thought exactly. Poor guitar still sounding great 🎶🤔😉
Poor expensive guitar.
@@majesticpbjcat7707 .strandberg makes phenomenal instruments. They're absolutely anything but poor...
@@Game4Lord not what I meant. I love Strandbergs
HOW HAVE I NOT BEEN AWARE OF THIS VIDEO FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS
He can play anything man, that Paul Gilbert stuff, the DT, Satch, etc… he’s sooooo solid.
Great stuff Rich!
How did you get your guitar circumcised
Love that guitar!!
Full View. Great job playing. Sounds good. You're really good doing those notes. Liked 592. 💖💖💖💖💖
Damn good stuff! Makes sense that Haken are fans of Karnivool!
He is so sick
OMG that Harvester Of Sorrow riff sounding spooot on.
Finally some love for AJFA from a real musician.
12:22 Is one of my favourite riffs of the album as well. The backing drums really add drive to the riff. Reminds me of Symphony X a bit
Which song is this riff on?
@@glauber_sohjian Carousel, from Haken's Virus
@@glauber_sohjianCarousel, from their album Virus from 2020
Rich Henshall is probably in my top 5 guitarists.
no red hot chili peppers, that makes me sad
(my god the riff from Virus was so good, can't wait for the release)
Because they suck
@@jayhardin3259 I was joking about something Rich said in a Twitch stream some time ago, don't need to be that rude
Oooh so thats how you pronounce haken
It messed with my head so much.
It's Haken as bacon ;)
Like you are calling Ken... HEY, Ken!
@@frog382 That was funny ngl
I always used to pronounce it like HAAH- Ken
Such a tremendous band! I hope they do their own headlining tour soon!- Brent, VT
same here. I watched them live few weeks ago and it was an amazing show, but co-main concert sucks. 70 min are not enough for a thirsty Haken fan. I hope they come again on tour promoting the new album but this time with an own headlining Tour.
That last riff should just be called KarniTOOL.
Let's just call it Carousel
Or Karoosel
First headless guitar that really blew me away with its look. Swedish, of course.
Like everything with class and style.
A.k.a. IKEA.
Rich, you frickin Mastermind...
Ayeeee best guitar player in today’s modern prog scene
Never heard of this dude..
Curious Irish Angel you should definitely check out haken, they’re totally worth the listen
@@Curious-Irish-Angel You should look him up. His solo album has some superb solos and riffs and his work in Haken is brilliant. Really good player that perfectly blends jazz, fusion, prog and metal elements in his playing. Super underrated imo
Rest in Peace John Petrucci
Rich Henshall and Eric Gillette
Richard “bend it” Henshall 🎸🔥🤘🏻
Heken is my favorite band! Thank you Loudwire
Haken kicks ass
Thay huge guitar sounds insane.
Pink Floyd was Legendary with Metalheads.
The wall was incredible live in the day,Jimi Hendrix was next level,Growing up listening to our parents music & learning music from visuals not reading was how it starts.The 70s,80s,90s & early 2000’s were legendary for Music.And Justice for all & dyers eve is legendary.The good dark days of Metallica.
This dude's a monster.
man its crazy hearing u say ur influences because bands like metallica led you to play mad prog, so i can't imagine what music our generation will do with you guys as our influences
Wish you were here was my first full song through too. Brother taught me it and i ended up being lead so he could solo
I love that he was playing Metallica and Dream Theater on what is basically a Swedish Telecaster Lol... awesome...
That guitar is clearly a shredder though lmfao it probably plays nothing like a telecaster
@@TheGuitarifier he probably said that because of the pickups, though it may be a stacked humbucker in the bridge.
He's a bad ass
12:06 I was expecting he'd play the opening riff in "The Sect," which is similar to how he described the opening riff of "Falling Back to Earth." But he I was wrong and he played one of the opening riffs to "Carousel"
Ah a headless guitar a man of hating back pain like me
Ah no punctuation a man of hating sentences like me
Prog on loud wire! Fuck yea!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Haken are so awesome, Virus is probably my AOTY
Check out Rich's solo album
That guitar sounds incredible! Would love to see a God Mother GearFactor
Finally a Prog Guitarist that is not a Dream Theater member ahah!
🤘
Yep
cool to see him mention erotomania
6:05 "so bear with me again"
he's being cautious, but he didn't need to be.
Virus is an incredible album. Messiah Complex is heavy as fuck, ectobius rex ripped my face off and threw it in the trash. Fucking incredible.
Headless guitars always get me, I know they are a thing but Everytime I see one I'm like "where the fuck is the headstock yo".
Gotta check out this guys work.
Used to buy strings from this dude in Sutton music shop. Should of got lessons from him
Symphony X has by far the best riff in prog music, i miss them.
Which riffs in particular? I'd like to listen to them
Iconoclast, evolution, of sins and shadows, seven, inferno, and etc etc etc. Jja
@@Stuugie. nah m8. For riffs Galore, check out Through the Lookbg Glass live
@@PabloARQ thanks!
@@thecheif00 thank you!
He has such a good ASMR voice
Who is that on top of the speaker on the left?
I WAS PLAYING EROTOMANIA AS HE WAS TALKING ABOUT DREAM THEATER AND THEN HE JUST STARTED PLAYING IT ASWELL THAT SCARED ME
Erotomania is also my favorite. Lol
Bro, your frets are melting.
I did not know it was pronounced "Hayken" until now, I always pronounced it as if it was German XD
(it means "hook")
this is an eye opener or ear opener
3:28 😏
Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd…….huh? I can’t hear either of these in Rich’s playing? Then he goes into the Paul Gilbert shred and I’m like….ok now I get it 😎
*Is he using AXE FX ?*
I think he is currently using archetype vst
@@ea-tt Alright thanks man. Gotta look into it.
AWAKE!!!!! Omg you weren’t there from IAW? Where were you when pull me under happened????
Soooo british xD
Almost look like Vito Brattas guitar
Are you even prog if you don't have a Strandberg/Kiesel?
He plays other people riffs even better than them LOL
The One..? The fuq are you boiled
who from who playd what?
"vector sucks lmao"
?????
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Atlas Stone
Gotta love haken for reinvigorating the genre... I found that the mix doesn't give his clear tone a great presence... sounded flat af. loudwire, do you mixing job properly, give back to the artists !!
is it me or does the guitar sound cheap?
It's you.
It’s you Troll
@@jayhardin3259 i am not a troll
Headless guitar, eww
