The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.

Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.

Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.

Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.

Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

Prince's talents are unrivaled. I was lucky enough to see him 20 times in concert. He evolved as a live performer, and although he was always a brilliant guitarist he never overly relied on guitar playing to captivate an audience. In 2002 he toured without a rhythm guitar player in his band and his live shows began to really highlight what an absolutely brilliant rhythm and lead guitarist he was. I remember going to his 'One Night Alone' tour and being floored by his guitar playing.
This performance is brilliant, his vibrato is insane and you feel every note that he plays. That was his real talent, he made you feel the music. He sang like a bird, played piano beautifully and I've seen him go toe to toe with Larry Graham on the bass. He was a genius, of that there is no doubt. I feel very lucky to have witnessed his talent so many times. Although no longer here with us physically his presence is still very much felt. Thank you Prince 💜

If you are or have been a pro musician, seeing how Prince handles his guitar, let alone the gold he frees up for us, its clear as fuck he was just a master musician... any decent pro probably just nods their head..the other guys on stage knew...people who aren't musical will never get the different perspective we have, spending years inside music in a way that unless you are or have been a pro is just a way of hearing that is privileged, but not as a dice roll, from hours of building the craft.

I’m Gen X and to me, there is no greater artist that I heard playing in my generation. Prince Rogers Nelson was as complete an artist s there ever was. He was self-taught in over 30 instruments, he wrote incredible songs(and an incredible number of them and countless ones for others!), sang beautifully(and often a bit filthy) and danced his killer moves.

He was an utterly complete performer and showman and the world is a worse place without him in it. If you never got to see him live, I feel sorry that you missed an incredible show by one of the most incredible musicians to ever live.

If I remember the story correctly, Prince was supposed to do a solo midway through the song, but during rehearsal another musician up and decided he himself was going to play all the solos himself and Prince just kind of went along with it. There wasn't going to be another chance for a rehearsal with Prince so the director had a talk with him about what was going to happen and Prince basically told him not to worry about it, that he'll come in at the very end and to just let the other guy do whatever. That's why when he starts his solo during the actual show, he bursts out of nowhere and at times it's almost like he's mocking the other guy.

@@meagainokay7673 I like your point. Its not like he just showed up a winged it. I like the fact that Prince was a diva but showed his respect for the Man? Or his music. That was a claa act on his part. In 1983 i saw a part of the ARMS concerts for Ronnie Lane. 1st set had watts. Cocker. Clapton and Beck. Never new about becks music. Him and clapton went back an forth with the lead. 2d set was page. Paul brown an a heavy metal set. Ok. Then 3rd set all came out did 4 yardbirds songs. Then went into cream classics. White room. Crossroads. Strange brew. Tales of brave ullysses. I feel free. Page was a bystander. Clapton and Beck were impressive with their back an forth lead playing. 40 years ago. I didnt even realize what a show it was.

@songshineoriginalmusic

@@meagainokay7673 It is easy to go long with popular opinion here. I think Prince was a very good lead guitarist, not great like Hendrix who shaped a style some of which can be heard in Prince's solo. I am not sure if you play guitar or not, I do. I can tell you that it is hard to drop in like he did and perform well. All I ever wanted to be was a lead guitarist because it is possibly the best example of living in the moment and making it mean something. It is what jamming is all about and I appreciate his ability and willingness to do so on a big stage. He in many ways embodied live performance by "real musicians' as he put it no matter the outcome. The break has a few very good moments and mostly is fitting to the song, like starting around 5:06. It is not the best lead break ever however and I know if he were here today he would say the same thing.

@songshineoriginalmusic

2y↑19

@@meagainokay7673 Appreciate the link. If pull offs and arpeggios that never end is your thing then I guess it is okay. There are really two distinct lead playing styles out there: Ones that show off a player's proficiency and others that are from the heart. I prefer the latter. Not to say his lead break is bad. Note that he plays the same licks over at times however. No matter the complication, this a very taboo thing to do on a lead break. But even Prince does the same thing in places. So a technically proficient solo that lacks heart on a song that demands it is my take. I am not terribly impressed with either and I think I can do just as good or better in a particular moment, not to sound egotistical.

To be fair, Rolling Stone is more political BS these days and Prince never sold himself as a gunslinger rock guitarist. It's all about blokes that shred. I mean, Slash, whilst not a technical virtuoso, has written many of the greatest guitar riffs, ever and is constantly shat on because he can't solo like EVH.
