Favourite Opeth solo?

[jaykeegan]

I'd have to go for the mighty solo in ''Forest Of October''

 

[BurningSky]

hmmmmm... im gonna have to say top three.. cuz it changes: When, Leper Affinity, A Fair Judgement

 

[Sepulchrive]

Hmm, tough one. It's a close call between a number of songs. Besides, some of them have multiple solo's, like Deliverance or White Cluster. I might not be able to choose one but honourable mentions to:

A Fair Judgement
Deliverance
White Cluster
Serenity Painted Death
Windowpane

Windowpane

Haha, i was listening to that solo just as i read your post. It sounds so good live.

 

[suela]

Windowpane

I agree..it´s also one of my fave.

 

[Ermz]

I've played the Forest solo to death now, so I'll have to go for The Leper Affinity or The Funeral Portrait.

 

[jaykeegan]

The Blackwater Park solo sounds cool, Sounds so evil!

 

[Episteme]

White Cluster! They shred!

 

[My Arms, Your Hearse]

I like most of the opeth solos, but a favorite would have to be in dirge for novembre

The last one on The Twilight Is My Robe, the first on The Funeral Portrait, White Cluster...

The only one that has really stayed in my head and made me go nuts is the Master's Apprentices solo. I'm not much of a solo-lover.

1. Both of the solos in The Twilight Is My Robe. The first one is my favorite, because it repeats, making it unlike any other Opeth solo. The second is also great. Lots of emotion.

2. The second solo in Deliverance. Very smooth transition... I especially love the last few notes, as the lead is the only thing playing. Everything else is silent!

3. The Leper Affinity. I haven't picked huge solos like Forest Of October and White Cluster because, as awesome as they are, the song just cuts off and the solo starts. The solo in The Leper Affinity just flows, while the drums support it.

4. The first solo in Wreath. I love how the last note leads you into the keyboards and everything slows down!

 

[Mayh]

the last solo in Deliverance because it makes so unbelievably fucking cool transition to the clean part.

Edit: and also the solo in Harvest, so smooth...

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

The solo in A Fair Judgement is my favorite Opeth solo without a doubt. Awesome.

 

[AngelinaBlakkheim]

Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Windowpane, etc etc..

 

[Dreadful]

The Twilight is my Robe has the best opeth solo.
Not to be mention best opeth song.

 

[Evil Ernie]

The Lepper Affinity
To Bid You Farewell

 

[Pita Bread]

"To Bid You Farewell" and "The Funeral Portrait"

I think the solo in Blackwater Park is very under-rated. Sure, it's short, but it's so very, very sweet!

Forest of October is one of my favourite solos ever.

The second solo in A Fair Judgement is also pretty breath-taking.

 

[Sinistas]

Windowpane (4:36), Serenity Painted Death (6:15).
