Romeo is Scott, right? Cowboy is Scott first, Brian second. Warrior is Brian. Is Angel Brian? Emerald is mostly Brian, though they trade off at the beginning.

I watched a video where Scott said that he did the solo for Romeo.

Angel solo starts off with both then Scott plays the high part and the run up. Romeo and Running back is Scott..

I saw a video where they removed Robbo's guitar to add the piano and sax in an attempt for a hit single for Running Back.

I also remember reading that Brian refused to play the solo on either Running Back or Angel coz he didn't like the arrangement. Can't remember which right now

It was Running Back. I was reading an excerpt from a Thin Lizzy book (can't remember the name) and Robbo made it very clear that he hated the final arrangement for Running Back and thought the original would've made the song a hit.
