I didn't know that was Todd Rundgren (my copy of BfG doesn't have any sleeve notes) is he playing lead guitar for the whole album?
I agree that it's weird that he only does backing vocals on the last two Bat albums. Does anyone know why? I do like Brian May but I think Todd's guitar is probably one of the things missing from Meat's version Bad for Good.
