Does anyone know if they had a new producer helping them record this version?
Whoever produced this should definitely work with Live in the future. This is so far superior than the album version. Everything that was wrong with the original album version was tweaked to perfection, and here we have the perfect single. Everything from Ed's vocals at the beginning of the song ("My ammunitiooooon" instead of the half-hearted "my ammunition") to the clear solos in the bridge, and it just seems to have way more energy.

I honestly think that if "Songs From Black Mountain" would've had a better producer, all the tracks would've been so much more enjoyable.. they're great now but would have been perfect with someone better than Jim Wirt.

EDIT: Another question: How much input does a producer have in the final product of an album? And what exactly is the producer's job? Can't the band do it all themselves?

Doesn't this post mean you are really talking out of your ass? How can you say that SFBM would have been better without Jim Wirt, and then also say you don't know what input a producer has or what they do?

Well, then why don't you explain it to me instead of being a jackass. Who was responsible for making this version so much better? You didn't explain anything about the recording process in your post.
