Man, I was IN Silver City today. I passed through it to get to the Gila Cliff Dwellings, which rocked. The whole time I was thinking “Silver City, where have I heard that before?”

Yeah, Silver City is kind of small, a little run down, and in the middle of nowhere. I’d hate to be the king of it.

Afternoon all, thanks for the awesome comments. I think it’s safe to say that we all had a lot of fun putting this shit together, and as always it staggers me that we can record something like this across two continents.

@Fivespot – glad you noticed the Gilmour influence, awesome guitarist and clearly a big influence. I guess there’s a lot of other stuff in there too – mainly my guitar tutor, Dave Weiner (www.daveweiner.com go check him out!) and hopefully a lot of my own style too.

@Firefin – whilst I’m happy to accept awesome comments about my part in this, the true star of the Shmopera was clearly the Flugel Horn solo ^^

@Deadward – it was a pleasure melting your face, please come back for more later.

@anyone requesting a CD/Album. I plan on punching Hilden in the mouth until this happens.

@Moe – I want your fanny

I listened to the latest installment of the Shmopera this morning and heard a David Gilmour influence in the guitar playing. Came to the site and see Mr. Haymes wearing a Floyd shirt and pictured in front of a Floyd poster so I guess that sound wasn’t an accident. Great guitar tone imo combining Gilmour esque sound with more modern conventions like quicker lead chops.

I’m with Tyler’s comments. I’d buy the Shmopera on a disc if available.

If you guys would dump those Shmopera songs on a CD, I’d totally buy it. I’d totally buy it like that asshole ShamWow guy buys hookers! HEY-OH! Keeping the joke going!

You guys raised the bar from last year — amazing stuff. Oscar, rock-em-sock-em robots, guitar solos. Cut an album already!
