Speaking of Prince, I keep watching this over and over. If you've never seen it, it's pretty jaw dropping at the end:
'Smile Time'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I've never been a big fan, but his solo in that clip is frelling amazing. Sort of channeling his inner Hendrix.
He basically steals the song from some big-time vets and then does the guitarist equivalent of dropping the mic. I'm pretty sure that's Harrison's son next to Petty and he looks pretty pleased with everything, so I have no complaints on any showboating.
It's also one of the few times I remember Prince being tapped for JUST his guitar skills, and he did not disappoint. Plus a stylin' suit without being too Prince-ish about it.

Yep, and he basically thought it was the most awesome thing in the history of awesome.
Apparently, Eric Clapton was once asked what it felt like to be the best guitarist in the world. "I don't know," he answered. "Ask Prince".
OMG, if that's not true it really should be.
Not true. Snopes.
Ah spit! I was afraid of that.
Oh well, print the legend.
I remember seeing this episode, when I was 10. Of course, I had no idea who the Dickies were at the time.
So...Victor is a punkass and gave out a social media cover song challenge. The rules were, he had unilateral choice over which song, but other than that, you could do whatever you wanted with it. A bunch of his musician buddies jumped in, and so did I. Turns out it was a Phil Collins challenge. My song was "Abacab" and you can check out my cover here. Many thanks to the SO for the production. This was two days worth of work. I figured y'all might as well get the joy/pain too.
