[mb-users] Artist {guest} performed Track AR, why isn't anyone using it?

[Bogdan Butnaru]

I for one always use "guest performed". In fact, I tend to always use
"additionally guest performed", since it seems to me they almost
always apply (guest means they're not usually part of the band, and
additionally means they didn't play all by themselves, but in addition
to the band).
