Then comes a difficult arpeggio part, and the verse again. After second chorus, the bridge comes along with 4 new chords, possibly in a different key, and it's pretty okay as well, and finally, there is the arpeggio part again, with a solo on top of it. Over all, it's not that hard to play, and the verses could be more fun to play, but the sum of all parts makes it worth the trouble of learning it...

I'll try suggesting the veto idea, and hopefully get somewhere soon... If not, it's time to find someone else.

I think you get the idea! As far as the arpeggiated part - I still have trouble with that too! I've gotten better - the key seems to be being able to accurately hit a particular string on command without hitting others. Consistency is hard...

BUT, don't let that prevent you from doing the song...if you have to, fake your way through that: strum it with downstrokes, abbreviate the arpeggio. I bet you could come up with a way to fake it that sounds pretty good. In the background, work on improving that skill.
