intro riffs to In the Mist She was Standing

The Leper Affinity's solo from Lamentations. THAT PINCH HARMONIC IS ORGASMIC!!!!!

i immediately thought of the blackwater park solo when i saw the thread title.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

-Blackwater Park: the climax at the end

Wait, you're right. That's the best part. I was thinking of just guitar riffs for some reason.

 

[in_absentia]

the riff somewhere in the 3-5min mark in White Cluster, you guys know which one i'm talking about

Mikael has a gift for those type of riffs! I could never create a riff like that (ive been playing for 10 yrs)

 

[Melkor66]

Favourite Opeth parts:

Bleak - the riff in that song wow!!
Windowpane - the whole song is amazing but the bits between each verse I really like.
Ghost of perdtition - the refrain rules
Benighted - RULES!!

 

[opeth8]

In addition to the great ones already mentioned

There's about 30 seconds of pure bliss when Mike growls The Grand Conjuration
Perhaps one of Opeths heaviest moments & def one of my fav's

Also the last minute of Hope Leaves

 

[metalspree]

Wreath - The riff preluding the solo at 5mins. Mind Blowing !

I had one question. Opeth being so centred around mikael....who wrote the bass lines for "The Baying Of the Hounds" ? The ending bass lines is just out of the world.(10min 01sec). Its simply amazing !

 

[westknadrian]

mike writes the bass lines

 

[Triton]

So many to choose from but I'll post a few, don't know the exact times in the songs...
-First few seconds of the opening for April Ethereal
-Demon of The Fall, the part where "Demon! Demon of the fall!", continuing til "Run away, run away..."
-All of Godhead's Lament, especially "Searching my way to perplexion"
-All of Harvest and Windowpane
-The opening voals of "In My Time of Need"
-Intro and after the 10 minute mark in "Black Rose Immortal"
-The moment in The Night And The Silent Water, "You sleep in the dark, yet the night and the silent water...still so dark..."-this part makes me feel very Opeth-ish
-Ending of Blackwater Park
-All of The Twilight Is My Robe
K I think I'll stop here...

 

[stardrowned]

Deliverance outro.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

these and numerous more...

The twilight is my robe(all acoustics)
The night and the silent water(magic)
TheLeper Affinity(outro riff)
The moor(intro)

 

[westknadrian]

[Godhead59]

mike writes the bass lines

From Opeth.com Ghost Reveries session diary:

Mendez did his bass takes pretty fast, basically playing his 3 Fender Jazz basses, one fretless which I can't remember if he used or not...I think he did. His bass-lines on this record is outstanding people!! His best work yet!

 

[Misko]

I like the way they play that solo part in the middle of Reverie/Harlequin Forest. It's like "let's forget about the song and just play this line forever..."
