[QUOTE=Deth]Hells no. I'm 100% clean.

No need to tell me I'm doing it all wrong, I know :p.[/QUOTE]


:lol: No man, I didn't mean that. I used to smoke, but I could scream really good ...but now that I quit, I hardly have a voice in that department anymore. I haven't had a Cigarette in almost a year and a half. Just curious is all. :)

Arent you suppose to use your stomach muscles or something ?

I have no vocal chords left. I smoked too much.

Heh, I wasnt directing that towards you. Its just that I had heard that for proper growling, you were suppose to use your stomach muscles..

But besides, don't mind me, I don't know much anyways about proper growling :p

[QUOTE=Acidflux]The pre-chorus guitars? Yeah, that's a cool riff. I especially like the outro to Face Of Melinda. It's mesmerizing.[/QUOTE]
The one right at 4:38. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]The one right at 4:38. :thumb:[/QUOTE]


Yeah, I like the outro riff a lot too. The twin leads on that song are really nice.

Damn it Flynn, you're confusing me now.

Yeah... which account are you using...

[QUOTE=Deth]Damn it Flynn, you're confusing me now.[/QUOTE]

How could you have ever wanted to smoke before? I've always found I nice bottle of Dr. Pepper is more refreshing than smoke and ashes in my mouth.

NP: Opeth - Forest of October

Ah, lol I guess I should stop before it's too late

To Clear The Confusion...
 

I recently found out my Brother has been getting on my account more then a couple of times. Now that I've read through hundreds of posts, I know he's been on my account frequently. He comes in my house when I'm not home and thinks it's funny to get on my account and ruin my rep on MX. It's all good though, I changed the locks and pawned off his Metallica Collection for beer. So again, I apologize for any disrespectful/ignorant posts on this user.

Ouch, man, ouch.

If you end up fighting him, be sure to tape it and post it on MX for the benefit of the community.

So Flynn, was it you who posted in the Metallica thread or your brother ?

Just curious...

He, brothers.

So it's all good now? I haven't seen you go all drunken pirate around. Probably I've just been luckylucky

I have posted in that thread yes.

so who's going to the LA evening with show on march 14? I'll be on the side of the 3rd section on the floor.

[QUOTE=TojesDoLan]Riuffz!1!!

[B]Number one:[/B] I like The leper Affinity intro, it's quite teh evile, great sounding riff. Probably one of my favoritest riffs out of Blackwater Park.

[B]Number two:[/B] The intro to Wreath. Very... yeah!

[B]Number three:[/B] Let me think of one... In "face of Melinda", the acoustic part before the chorus, after the verse finishes... Pretty amazing.[/QUOTE]


Yeah Wreath is tight, it's a great way to start out that album indeed.

Man, 9 damn days...can't wait. :D

I still have a month from sunday.

They're not coming here so I can't go. :angry:

theyre coming here in a few days but i have no possible way of going

/sniff

[QUOTE=penelope weird hands]Greetings, Opethians!

Just felt the need to express my admiration for this band because of how much they have influenced me musically.
Been playing to some selected riffs and one i've been obsessed with, for quite some time now, is the third riff on Closure.
Fvcking badass.
I love playing that on an acoustic guitar.

But anyway.. With me being a n00b and all i'd like to spark some n00b discussion.. ;}

What would everyones' favourite Opeth riffs be?
Maybe top 3 or something?
Include solos if you like.
..Or you could not reply at all.
Then I would be sad. ;{

heh..

But I think it'll be interesting because there's always much love for songs.. but not as much expressed in the detail of certain arrangements and parts.

My 3, for the moment, would have to be that aforementioned riff from Closure (~1:07), the end of The Leper Affinity (~8:01 onwards, amazing!) and the acoustic guitar of Serenity Painted Death (~8:06 onwards, the fingerpicking timing breaks my mind).

Just brilliant stuff!
:chug:[/QUOTE]

mine would be...(in no particular order)....
the chorus of "harvest"
under the weeping moon - that part after the long acoustic breakdown where it starts building up again.....oohhhh that part is AWESOME! reminds me of a approaching storm
the night and the silent water (the last stanza thing whatever you call it where he whispers)


ps: welcome to the forums!

I forgot my three favorite acoustic riffs.

1. Bleak, the acoustic breakdown after the chorus. Brilliant acoustic guitar playing.

2. Karma, the acoustic part is the highlight of the song, in my humble opinion.

3. A fair judgement, another fantastic acoustic breakdown that is really fun to play, and listen to... too bad in the Lamentations DVD it's so low-played (at least in the beginning)

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]My least favorite would probably be The Funeral Portrait or The Baying of The Hounds. The riffage in TFP just annoys me and the lyrics in TBOTH seem kind of cheesy to me.

[I]I hear the baying of the hounds, in the distance, I hear them devouring..[/I]

I mean come on, have any of you ever been hunting with dogs? They do nothing of the sort.[/QUOTE]

When you go hunting with them, no they don't. You kill the hog (only animal I know of that are truly "bayed" when you hunt them. Deer are just sort of chased). But what do you think wild packs of dogs do? (Or should I say "did"...not too many packs of wild dogs running around anymore). I'm not sure what wolves or Coyotes do, but I'm sure it must be pretty similar.
