[Blake]

[IamReptar]

I listen to Opeth.

Just not their music.

Outro riff to Masters Apprentice. Good enough.

[Jester-Race]

I don't listen to music, I read song books instead.

 

[BlueSky]

I see we've got a real perceptive crowd here..

What I like totally meant to say is like mikael is god!?;1

 

[rayden_ad]

The night and the silent water outro riff.
Deliverance outro.
Beneath the mire intro.
In the mist she was standing intro.

but it changes of corse

 

[Slynt]

Damn that's a hard question.
I guess the chorus riff of "Serenity Painted Death" is a fave. The verse riff in "White Cluster" is pretty cool.. The "holy whores.." part in "Ghost of Perdition"....The opening four minutes of "In Mist She Was Standing". Absolutely fuckool. And many many other riffs.

Hey everybody, new here

I'd say that little transitional riff in "The Moor," right before Mike starts screaming, the riff right after the intro in "The Funeral Portrait," the second riff in "Bleak," the opening to "Night and the Silent Water" and the end of "Deliverance"

# Face of Melinda, the epic distorted riff after 4:25
# Leper Affinity, the riff where he sings "Oo!"; 2:12
# Master's Apprentices, the riff after 7:47... so good!
# Blackwater Park 1:47, acoustic to distortion, insane headbang-fest
# All the harmonised riffs and leads on the entire Morningrise album.

Some examples: Black Rose Immortal - 6:03, Advent 4:25, Advent 8:10, The Night and the Silent Water 00:00-07:34

Notable mention: Under the weeping moon, 3:07 - ~6:00

I was actually planning to pick just 5...

 

[David Hesser]

I like whole numbers not just riff lol But if I have to choose I think it will be the starting riff of Lepper Affinity. That was the first song I've heard from Opeth =) sry for bad english

 

[Nichtsicher]

I listen to Opeth.

Just not their music.

Outro riff to Masters Apprentice. Good enough.

I love the outro too

Serenity Painted Death, the riff just after the intro.
