I'm sure that does have something to do with it, for many songs the studio
version feels like the template on which everything else is based, even
when live versions may be superior.

Mind you 'Death Trap' has actually had 2 studio incarnations... but to me
the Alien 4 one is almost akin to a cover version. The band sound quite
good on that but Ron's vocals sound oddly thin, and the unhinged energy of
the original is lacking IMHO.
