Favorite Opeth solo

[scorpian007]

Mine has to be the solo in Serenity Painted Death from 6:13 - 7:00.

Was thinking exactly the same thing as I clicked on this thread . Serenity Painted Death it is. Although some of the solos on Deliverance are really up there.

 

[scorpian007]

Yeah, I agree. The Serenity Painted Death solo is awesome. They have heaps of others but personally, I think it's the best.

Deliverance does have some awesome solo's

epilogue and forest of october (that one bumble played )

Serenity Painted Death

 

[Elysian Blaze]

Serenity Painted Death, without a doubt. Single most emotional solo ever.

 

[scorpian007]

I can never get bored of the Serenity Painted Death solo. I listen to it on repeat many times.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Yeh the Serenity Painted Death solo is amazing.

The last solo in A Fair Judgement defines 'emotional' IMO
So sad...~siff~

 

[Culture_AK47]

probably the 2nd one in Blackrose Immortal

 

[Duvall]

One of the end solos to Twilight is my Robe, or that fast one right in the middle (after the bass twiddle).

or maybe.. Forest of October, or maybe.. Apostle in Triumph!

Or Epilogue. Or SPD. Or Blackwater Park. Or one of the nifty ones on Deliverance.

YOU'RE TOO DAMN GOOD MIKAEL. GIVE US SOMETHING CRAPPY WE CAN BITCH ABOUT!

 

[Gnuckell]

What about the Moonlapse Vertigo one? Anyway I'm not to thrilled about their lead playing...

 

[Static]

Forest of October hands down. That solo rips! Kinda of un-Opeth-ish but still pretty awesome.

 

[Elysian Blaze]

The way I rank them are...

1. Serenity Painted Death
2. The Twilight is My Robe - 1st solo
3. Fores of October
4. The Twilight is My Robe - ending solo

Yeah, the solo in Serenity Painted Death is good, but not THAT good. I'm surprised...

My favorites are....

Twilight is my Robe - 7:49 solo
Nectar - 3:58 solo
Godhead's Lament - First solo
Moonlapse Vertigo - The whole 2-part solo
White Cluster
Leper Affinity - First solo

Come on people, what about those?
Oh, and I haven't heard Deliverance yet, but so far it sounds like it has some good solos....

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

Definitely Serenity Painted Death!

I also enjoy the solo of The Leper Affinity alot (dunno the exact time).

 

[DogVomit]

First solo in Godheads Lament, definatly.

 

[Lakestream]

the solo towards the end of Deliverance, the one in To Bid You Farewell, and all the solos in A Funeral Portrait....well, most of their solos are divine, so if you ask me the same question tomorrow you'd probably get a different answer...

 

[TexunNYC]

Epilogue -- I'd enjoy an entire album of blues-influenced leads, myself

What other kind of lead playing would match with Opeth's sound and concept?

Well i didn't say it was 'bad' or 'unfitting', but some solos more or less seems like a random choice of notes and patterns.
