serenity painted death

[Mr. Josey Wales]

anyone think the solo for this song is one of mikael's best ever?

 

[narcoleptic haze]

The White Cluster one and the 2nd solo in Windowpane are clearly better.

No















Mike should have never attempted to rap...

 

[j4ska]

Yes. It's a real killer to play yourself too. Lots of cool stuff in it.

I actually like it, that rap growling when he says "serenity painted death" makes me laugh everytime, despite that cool riff

 

[Mr. Josey Wales]

The White Cluster one and the 2nd solo in Windowpane are clearly better.

i just played the white cluster solo and the serenity painted death solo back to back. i definitely felt more emotion in SPD solo, although not as technical and shreddy as white cluster, SPD was all class and quality. 2nd solo in windowpane beats SPD in emotion but SPD has more shred, therefore SPD is the greatest solo of all time. :Spin:

To Rid The Disease
The Funeral Portrait
Windowpane
Moonlapse Vertigo
Harvest
Leper Affinity

all of those songs' solos absolutely destroy the solo in this song lol.

..tis a good solo however.

 

[MasterOLightning]

It's one of the best solos, I agree. It's place in the song and album storyline definitely add a lot to it. The WC solo is just kind of filler at the end of the album; it doesn't really contribute much.

 

[Goober]

the SPD solo is my favorite solo

 

[saut]

Yeah, it's definitly awesome. Perfect placement.

 

[Demilich]

White Cluster is the boringest song on the album. Actually, I usually turn it off partway through that one. SPD on the other hand FUCKING RULES.

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]

lol at dude's name

 

[Demilich]

thread starter's name makes me want to punch someone.

(it's him lol)

 

[OGM]

I agree with the thread starter.

 

[Ermz]

It's a very good solo, one of his most technical also.

 

[Mr. Josey Wales]

lol i agree its a very gay name. cant go back and change it now though

that was during my COB listening days before i discovered Opeth...still like them just hardly ever listen to them anymore.

back on topic: the beginning of the solo is such a release of emotion, your not even expecting it with how the music is going, its like build up...and then whoa! orgasm. :Spin:

 

[Sanzen]

lol i agree its a very gay name. cant go back and change it now though

get to it guy.

 

[Netheral]

The last lick of the solo is really awesome....the rest is not that spectacular

 

[T-Rat]

i like that song...
