Favourite opeth riff?

[Lateralus14]

Impossible choice between Hessian Peel 6:30 and The Funeral Portrait 1:15.

 

[ashakilee]

Master's Apprentices; the very first riff that blows you away.Imba riff to headbang along.

was thinking the same thing

 

[The Wooden Doors]

Shadows skulk at my coming
We survey the slopes
In search for the words to write the missing page
The tainted dogmas

That riff is one of Opeth's best moments.

 

[hezagenius]

...The Funeral Portrait 1:15.

This is it

 

[robberbaron]

Can't believe I'm the first to mention this. If we're talking about the heavy riffs, "To Bid You Farewell" - 7:13 or so onward. In the context of the entire song before it, I find it very moving.

Masters Apprentices main riff just rapes nuns souls, as I believe the saying goes..

 

[schismatic]

Has to be the first heavy riff in Blackwater Park after the quiet bit.............when the heavy riff comes back in, think it's about 5:14, then the drums kick in and fuck me the groove!!!!

+1 !

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

The Leper Affinity as a whole. Great riffing, not as generic or simple as the rest on Blackwater Park. Also anything from Still Life.

 

[Elina]

Advent 02:06
Under The Weeping Moon 00:56
Bleak 00:20
Intro of The Baying Of The Hounds

 

[Crackfare]

The twillight is my robe.... 00:00 to 00:07....legendary... XD

 

[S. Rosado]

the first Master's Apprentices riff

 

[heavymetaljans92]

I love that riff on nectar 5:40, the part where he sings "Mine Is Yours"

 

[billydheyhey]

Top 5:

1. Blackwater Park (2:47-5:13)
2. Moonlapse Vertigo (7:15-end)
3. By The Pain I See In Others (3:32-5:02)
4. Godhead's Lament (3:43-5:51)
5. The Night And The Silent Water (1:00-2:11)

The only one people might not agree with is By The Pain I See In Others. The song as a whole isn't one of Opeth's bests, but that riff between 3:32 and 5:02 is phenomenal.

 

[@=NoBigDeal=@]

the stream riff from BRI + the following heavy riff, also the two big riffs around 15 minutes.
the first acoustic riff in BTPISIO
the Moor, basically all the riffs in it.
most of the riffs in Advent
the one in Karma after the "aaaaaaahhh"
the main riff in TBYF
the big heavy riff in BWP after the interlude

this what came to mind this time

 

[BRI]

Hessian Peel. Just after the 4 minute mark - the first heavy guitars of the song.

 

[Opethian Samurai]

The riff that plays all throughout the Apostle In Triumph.. can't get any more addictive than that..

 

[Nathan_lol]

On Closure, the riff after the first acoustic part.

 

[billydheyhey]

I think Hessian Peel is a very underrated song.

 

[WeirdGray]

"Master's Apprentices" from 8:36 until the end...
