As he told during the show last week, eventually he's started listening to "Yes" after starting as "The most evil Death Metal band ever". I'd say based on 1990-1996 even sympho-black at times.
ahhhh ... right in my teenage years. I think this is one of my favorite videos of this series. I'm pretty happy with the results. anyway, usual disclaimer: 1. I don't use backing tracks, stolen original tracks ... anything. I make everything by myself from nothing (vocals included) listening to the tunes and replicating with my modest means 2. I could never forget Ghost Of Perdition, I just decided to dedicate an entire vocal cover to the song 3. I don't use tabs so I can't send them to you 4. I discovered too late that some acoustic takes have background noises and you can hear the click sometimes. I had 2 choices: record everything once again or decide to live. I'm still here so ... 5. THE TUNINGS MAY DIFFER FROM THE ORIGINAL ONES for many reasons. I always say that enjoy
I love how you go the extra mile in your vids for example just the sheer effort you put in is incredible, for example even making the riffs from scratch is hard enough. And then instead of making just 50 riffs you make 57. Well done.
Lol 100 aint enough, he skipped many of the great ones as well as MANY of other great ones were super short to the point it ruins it tbh lol, e.g. Ghost of Perdition was missing, or Burden, etc. Blackwater Park part was a shame and also Bleak, but hey we cant get everything lol, its impossible to do 50 riffs of Opeth where you could pick any 3 of their greats and it would fill the video lol

Can we stop and appreciate the dedication and passion that goes into making a video like this? I mean damn, not only to learn and master the riffs but to mix and edit it altogether. Thanks for making the internet a better place
It's videos like this that remind me why I love Opeth so much. There's a little bit of everything, and it's pulled off flawlessly. ...then the second track of the album starts!
I woulda liked to see Dirge for November, that song is so overlooked by everyone, but features one of the best intros & outros I've ever heard. Nonetheless, magnificent video and great elections for the riffs
Yes! Dirge For November has such a bleak (see what I did there) atmosphere. Perfect song for rainy/foggy days or walking around in a forest, as are many other Opeth songs.
I know a lot of people may have moved on from Opeth that don’t connect with the new music as much, but it really is insane when you break down not only the number of great albums/songs but the number of MONSTER riffs Akerfeldt has come up with.
Opeth songs never fail to give me goosebumps. Their beautiful dark melodic riffs have so much emotion it triggers a physiological reaction. My friend and I used to go to guitar center after school and play Harvest and people would gather around and watch and it was an amazing feeling.
there is nothing Death metal about Opeth music except than Growl vocals ! maybe there is one or 2 Death metal riffs somewhere but that's not enough for making a band Death metal ! and of course it's impossible to understand this stuff if you don't know song writing in both Progressive and Death metal genres ! Opeth music was just a very extreme kind of playing progressive metal like Gojira , Meshuggah and some others !
Alexandre Araújo i have a question i hope you can answer , Obscura is Prog death metal and you say Opeth is prog death metal too ! do you really think they are in the same exact genre and their music is similar in Death metal parts ?
Demon of the Fall was a very pivotal track for me. It made me fall in love with Opeth. Starting out so dark and evil but then ending in this super tragic and heart gripping musical piece. That beginning with “just one second and I was left with nothing” the ending always brings tears to my eyes. Such a powerful piece of music that will forever be carved into my heart.
Demon of the fall (the ending especially) was my breakthrough Opeth track after trying to get into them for about 10 years. That outro is one of the most beautiful and cathartic musical experiences I've ever had. And when it clicked, it clicked and never went back.
Dude I really really love the arrangement of your riffs and your riff selections. The transitions are seamless and everything just fits perfectly. This video should have one million views
I'am an Opeth Fan for most of my adulthood and this video is aweseome. One of the best Opeth performances I know. It's so well played and packs the best of Opeth in 16 minutes. After this video you know, why Opeth hasn't done a bad album. And if they're in need of a new guitarist, well, I know one.
I just discovered your channel through YT suggestions, and what a find ! As a huge Opeth fan and (still learning) guitar player, I loved this video. Now I need to learn Opeth riffs, ugh
I respect all these great performances by Opeth 🤘. But, But the moment the transition from acoustic guitar to electric guitar in "to bid you farewell" song. I consider it the greatest rhythmic change I have ever heard, I searched a lot and found no one like it.
Am I the only one here who feels as if this whole video is arranged with the same changes as Opeth's songs? Loved it. Also, I really think we should have a second part for this video, many many top shelf riffs/songs left behind.
Sat from the beginning thinking to myself "surely demon of the fall, right?" then we got to the end of the 50 and i was pleasantly surprised. There are sooooo many opeth riffs worth adding, i couldnt imagine the process you used to narrow it down lol. Hell of a job man. well done.
Agreed. The pacing of the overall arrangement was great, and I'm sure Akerfeldt would agree. And closing with Demon of the Fall? The only possibility :)
porcelain heart, ghost of perdition, eternal rains will come, dirge for november, sorceress, patterns in the ivy, karma, the grand conjuration, the drapery falls... this band is so amazing, they have enough riffs for another video^^
Agree. Re MAYH especially. To this day I don't understand their unhappiness with it - to me that album was much better structured overall than Still Life. Perhaps it was too 'traditional' for them...but those riffs and transitions...
Bellissimo video Andrea, gli Opeth sono ideatori di riff memorabili e li hai saputi coniugare in maniera perfetta. Complimenti! Prossima top sui Black Sabbath magari?
Freddy Dolmayan hey buddy, might I ask if you have interest in learn Brazilian Portuguese? I've done a basic in Italian and I'm interested in the language
mix between 47-th and 48-th tracks is just rocket! The best part of this video for me. Thanks for your work so much. You've reopened Opeth for me after so many years
You made me a happy man Anzi, grazie di questo fantastico video. I riff più coinvolgenti sono sicuramente quelli da Orchid e Morningrise in quanto la stereofonia delle due chitarre si unisce in epicità progressiva
First discovered your channel from the "50 Tool riffs" video. You put so much work into these, and i think you deserve way more subs. Also that's a beautiful SE damn
Vedo questo video da 3 anni, dal giorno della sua uscita, ti ringrazierò sempre per aver fatto questo mix della discografia di quella che reputo la miglior band di sempre
I've been a superfan of Opeth since I was 15, almost 20 years ago now. This was an incredible tribute by you. I've started learning some Opeth songs as well, its amazing how wide a range of music Mikael covers. Seeing what you've accomplished has been incredibly inspiring. Well done!
