I noticed several posts listing individual songs.  If you want those, for
guitars, the first two Extreme albums have good guitar solos, with a little
bit of background stuff.  But I got the impression you wanted whole albums.
Well, for guitars (again), sometimes with backup stuff, try "Guitars That Rule
the World" or the CDs put out by guitar magazine that are devoted to guitar
solos.  There are at least two, cuz I have Volume 2.
David Foster has a couple albums out of piano music that I like.  It's softer
rock, but I'd still call it rock.  Some might call it easy listening, tho.  I
don't really know of any groups that are devoted mostly/entirely to 
instrumentals.

You are correct.  I also just saw an OLD KRP episode where the station decided
to promote their first concert.  He was the singer of the band
"Scum of the Earth" (or something similar).  It was pretty funny.

Journey, was formed by Neil Schon and Greg Rolie when they broke off from
Santana (Rolie did some vocals with Santana) in the early `70's.  They cut
three albums, very blues-rockish, before Steve Perry joined the band.  Rolie
did most of the vocals for those albums, and even on some early Journey w/  
Steve Perry albums did vocals.  He was later replaced by Jonathan Cain.  I
can only remember the title of two of those pre-Perry albums:  "Look into the
Future" and "Next".

Agent Orange broke up several years ago but in the last year or so they seem
to have regrouped.  Aside from Living in Darkness (which is by FAR their best
release), they have some 7"'s out, one recently, an Ep of covers which isn't
too bad called When You Least Expect It, and some tracks on various comps. 
I think they have another album too, but I can't think of the name right now..

Well, I didn't just get on the bandwagon with Queen.  I was listening to them
back when BoRap and Fat Bottom Girls, etc. first came out.  I do think that
with the success of Waynes World and yes with Freddie's death, their popularity
once again surfaced.  Hey, why not, I get a kick out of seeing a 10 year old

still together in any form. If so who's in the line up and how

Are there any decent bootlegs of them from the "Demons and Wizards",

Let me tell you two things....
One, Adrenalize is Def Leppard's FIFTH album!  Although frankly, it
feels like more, since it seems to take them forever to release
their records(in this case, five years!)

Secondly, if you really like Def Leppard(or even if you don't)
please listen to their first big album, Pyromania.  It's a classic
temple of rock....heavily imitated, but truly exceptional.
It is much harder than Hysteria or Adrenalize, but extremely
well produced.  Look for it!

If you mean the background vocals (this is from memory, so it may not

"Rising, falling, at force ten,

Angel of the Morning is an old country song.  I'm not sure who did it first, but
Juice Newton did a popular cover of it.

Absolutely classic and very funny!  It was great when the band decides
they won't go on near the end and Andy and Venus stand up to them, and
Johnny Fever (Howard Hessemen) gets up reluctantly and says "Hey let's
rock'n'roll" or something similar.  The never show the fistfight, but
you know that's what supposedly happens.  The next shot has Venus
introducing the band in torn clothes and bandages.

As mentioned in other postings the line is "Jai Guru Deva Om". I did
hear in a documentary about the Beatles, that this roughly means
"Glory to the great teacher". Sounds reasonable.
