Sure sounds like Glenn to me in every way and I've studied his playing for years. Maybe not, but I'd be awfully surprised. I believe the American "session" musicians were for the string arrangements. I not 100% sure of any of this, but I've done a lot of listening to this line up and the ears rarely lie. Just my 2 cents.

Comrades - The Party™ has issued initiatives to completely break down society and degrade culture so the state can take total control. This will require everyone to hand in any 70s rock albums by white artists. Despite most rock being ideologically beneficial compositions, the band members themselves must be photoshopped darker - before being erased from the Collective Consciousness - particularly Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and Yes. Citizens will have their albums replaced with Bruno Mars, Rihanna and Linda Ronstadt, as well as Islamic Progressive music. MTV will no longer tolerate bands acting "white" by singing in English correctly, having above average tunes, playing their own instruments or using intelligent lyrics. Bourgeois values and the memory of them must be erased from the Collective Consciousness with the help of historical revisionism in the academia, news media, and the Party's branches in the entertainment sector. The proletariat will then undergo re-education and be released from ungood thoughts, by instilling a culture of materialism, physical beauty, sex and financial success without effort or practical ability. Forward !!
