Nope, production seems better with this version but the original absolutely rocks live and Johnny was a master. I still rock out to this version, but I always wind up back to the old lineup.
I think the only one that was difficult to replace was Johnny Cruz and Broddy is finally a good replacement, and i like that he has a Zakk Wylde style that will sweet the new songs very well, the drummer Taz and the bassist were very average so i think you will not have any problem replacing the bassist.
