Playing lead isn't as easy as it looks or sounds. Even Prayer is actually pretty hard to nail. The ascending run at the end is something that even Richie can't seem to get right any more. None of the cover bands get it either.

Bad Name is also hard to play right. It has harmonics, octaves, tapping etc. Anyone can "play lead", but very few sound good doing it. And it's not about tone, it's about skill.
