I don't think it will. It gave the songs a freshness I found. some of
that late-80's / early-90's stuff sounds a bit dated in the keyboard
parts. Same with KJ's stuff.

Hey, they could always get Lol to re-join the band if they really need
keyboards. I thought he and Robert were back on reasonable terms
again? I even saw a photo of the two of them together, maybe it was
taken just before Robert pushed Lol into a river or something.

...and if his keyboards suck they could always unplug him during the
concerts, like they apparently used to.
