I'm a new-found Haken fan, having seen your performance in Atlanta on June 7th. I've been a Symphony-X fan for many years, but once I looked into Haken's music, I was most excited about seeing your setlist. Prosthetic is such a killer opening tune for the concert. It was truly a pleasure to have discovered your music and privilege to have seen you live!

Ross is such a humble guy. But I can tell he doesn't realize how talented and versitile he really is. Very much looking forward to Doug's reaction to Ross' song from his new album tomorrow. From a composition stand point I would love to get Richard and Doug in the same room. Richard Henshall if you are reading this....

Ross's guest singing on new upcoming Arjen Lucassen's Star One is stellar! The song is called Prescient and the vocal duet with Mike Mills is unbelievable!

Thank you, Mr. Helvering for this great interview. Over the past several months, I too have been on this journey with you through the prog universe! With your help, my music play list has been fortified with new, and old wonderful music by the likes of Spock’s Beard, Haken, and also Ross Jennings! I grew up with Rush, Yes, The Beatles, Floyd, Tull, etc etc being my soundtrack. You have not only helped justify my tastes in music, but also given me new ideas to broaden my experience. Which, to me, is priceless. Thank you.

And that's what music and the community is all about. I've discovered bands I missed out on being born in the mid 80s.

Fan-bloody-tastic Doug. Good stuff, and good for you, Ross! I had a chat with Ray Hearne a couple of weeks ago on my channel. You Haken guys are the best. 👍🏼😁🇬🇧🌧

Great interview Doug, keep them coming, you really bring the best of people.

Long time Haken fan here. They have been one of my absolute favorite bands for the past decade. I have to say though....Ross' new solo album blew me away. I love the diversity of it. That 80's vibe just adds to the nostalgia as I grew up and fell in love with music during that time. Thanks for all of the great music Ross. Can't wait to see what's next.

What a treat, Doug, and Ross is so gracious! Thanks for this time!

Looking forward to getting the new album. Haken, Spock's Beard, and Big Big Train collaboration...does it get any better.

This is awesome! Ross is the best! Very humble and an incredible musician!

My favourite male singer right there! Great talk! Thanks!

My wife and I drove from Houston to San Antonio to see Haken with Thank You Scientist in 2016. After the show we were hanging out and saw Ross talking with some folks near the stage. We walked over and were each greeted by a big hug. Super nice guy, he was real lovely to chat with even after the show (which rocked btw)

Great interview…. Insightful and prepared

I've been a fan of Haken since their first album was released in the States. Unfortunately I had to wait some time before they toured in the US and I was able to see them (twice so far), and they were phenomenal live. Keep up the good work Ross and Doug.

Ross is an amazing guy! I met him on the cruise and was fortunate to hang with him for a bit before a show in the Star Lounge.

Such a genuine and down-to-earth guy. Nice interview.

He is SUCH a graceful dude! I hope to meet the band one day when they are able to tour the US again. Also, pleeeaase do the entire Messiah Complex!

I really enjoyed your Reaction on "March of the black Queen" from the album Queen II. I think you'd like the rest of the B-side (or black side) which includes "Ogre Battle "The fairy fellers masterstroke" and "nevermore". These songs lead up to the March of the black Quren and are connected. And of course there is the single "Seven seas of rhye" which helped Queen to become so popular.

This is amazing

Love Ross' solo album, really fantastic music!!!!

Love Haken's Virus album. The music is astounding!

Haken is my favorite band and Ross is an amazing vocalist!

Doug, I'll keep my eye out for you at a Haken/Symphony X near Jersey!

I'm just here hoping Doug will get around to making a video on the extremely underrated band Hanoi Rocks! I would love it if he listened/reacted to the songs "Tragedy" and "Oriental Beat"!

Late 2019 Haken was on tour with Devin Townsend. So Nate Navarro showed Ross and everybody attending every evening what an amazing bass player be is.

Huge fun! 😎👍

Nice conversation! Will the extended listen of The Mountain find its way to KZread eventually? And as some other people are mentioning...by all means...DO follow up that suggestion of bringing on Richard, Charlie and Ray! That would be really awesome!

A bit lengthy, but I'm in Ross's debt. Too, congrats on the rug rat. He's braver than I. Thanx Doug.

How come you get to have interviews with those amazing fellows?

Brains and soul... Haken is awesome :) What a great chap, oh ... And doug he also appears in Arjens upcoming Star One album... Theres a video out and its him and none other than Michael Mills... You know, at some point, you may end up having to react to it hehe Cheers all

Ross was a really great to chat with. Doug, you're not alone in not knowing a bunch of great bands that have been around for while but we just don't hear about them in America. Seems like maybe algorithms and lack of promotion keep a lot of European bands off the radar.

Hey Doug, you will definitely have something to say about this, in case you havent done it before: Chris Rea Somewhere between the stars.

Hey Doug. Why are you blocking the Iron Maiden videos in Brazil? :( They're the reason I came to know and love your channel.

I know everyone thinks the U.K. is foggy but this is ridiculous! What a nice guy!

it's such a sad state of our society that such an amazing band needs side work to pay the bills..

Is Ross in a fog bank?
