Mr Wilson has gained some influential friends. Alex Lifeson and Robert Fripp, legends both.
I think he plays the solo bit on the end of Deadwing too.

"Anesthetize"

The song can be split into three sections, and in the album booklet, asterisk markings separate the lyrics to each of the sections. These sections are not named in the booklet, although during their BBC Radio 1 Rock Show performance, Gavin Harrison revealed that part two is called "The Pills I'm Taking". The song "What Happens Now?" from Nil Recurring EP uses a sample of the opening riff from this second movement. Harrison later revealed in an interview that the first and third parts are called "Anesthetize" and "Surfer" respectively.[2]

The song's first section features a guitar solo by Alex Lifeson of Rush.
