What are some other examples of musicians notable for their own bands joining another notable band, like when Robert Smith joined Siouxsie and the Banshees?
What are some other examples of musicians notable for their own bands joining another notable band...
Hunter Young
Bentley Butler
Basically everyone who worked with David Bowie.
Parker Butler
Warren from Dirty Three joining Nick Cave.
Henry Williams
Blixa as well, arguably. He was notable for EN before he formed them with him.
Cameron White
johnny marr joining modest mouse for a bit
Ethan Wilson
Dave and the Peppers
Nathaniel Russell
Nick Cave's got good taste in musicians.
Ryder Bennett
Mani went from The Stone Roses to Primal Scream.
Johnny Marr went from The Smiths to Modest Mouse.
Hunter Lewis
Also The Cribs, but you probably don't care about that.
Gavin Ramirez
Also Bobby from Primal Scream was the drummer in JAMC
John Gutierrez
Mike Patton taking over Faith No More?
Bentley Hill
wasn't debbie googe in primal scream for a bit too?
Lucas Richardson
Only very briefly.
Kevin Shields was actually a peripheral member of the group. He did a bit of stuff on their albums for a while and toured with them a bit. I didn't realise at first but he performs with them here: youtube.com
Ryder Gomez
That happened before Mr. Bungle released their first album though.
Zachary Flores
Yeah, but he's a founding member of Primal Scream so it's not like he went from one famous band to another famous band.
She's been the current bassist since Mani left for the Roses reformation. We'll see if Mani comes back now that the Roses seem like they're done for good.
Alexander Hall
He was a touring member for a while and has contributed to a few studio tracks but I wouldn't really call him a member of the group.
Nathan Brown
Ringo was pretty well-known before he joined the Beatles.
Grayson Scott
Yeah, locally but I don't think you'd say that he was in a famous band before the beatles.
Ayden Myers
That's why I said peripheral member. He was never a consistent member, but he worked with them a number of times over a long period.
Jason Anderson
Andy Bell went from Ride to Oasis
Jerry Harrison went from the Modern Lovers to the Talking Heads
Jonathan Donahue joined the Flaming Lips while Mercury Rev were in their eary stages
Owen Edwards
Joe Strummer was a touring guitarist for The Pogues, then briefy was lead singer for them when Shane MacGowan left
Carson Robinson
On a slightly related note, there's a live albums that the Stranglers did when their singer/guitarist was in prison for drug possession. The rest of them got Robert Smith, Hazel O'Connor, Robert Fripp, Peter Hammill, Phil Daniels, Basil Gabbidon, Wilko Johnson, Nicky Tesco, Nik Turner, Richard Jobson, Toyah, Ian Dury, Davey Payne, John Turnbull, Matthieu Hartley, Larry Wallis, Steve Hillage and Jake Burns to fill in with him throughout the gig.
Leo Evans
Cobra Verde joining Guided by Voices
Leo Harris
One of the dudes from Whirr played in Deafheaven for a while.
Alexander Martinez
Nicholas Harris
>She's been the current bassist since Mani left for the Roses reformation.
Simone Butler is Primal Scream's bass player
Charles Hernandez
Lemmy was briefly bassist for The Damned when they reformed without Brian James. He recorded demos and toured with them in 1978 before they got Algy Ward in and recorded Machine Gun Etiquette
Jeremiah Young
He was also in Hawkwind.
Robert Jones
Yeah, that user's slightly off. She played bass for them in 2012 when Mani left, but now they've got someone else in
Bentley Kelly
Dave Grohl's turns as drummer in various bands like QOTSA and Killing Joke probably count, but you could argue he's just continued a steady job as a session drummer as well as being a rock frontman in his own right.
Brandon Gray
Johnny was also in the Pretenders and The The for a while, and has done a lot of session work with other people as well
Josiah Bell
He doesn't count the guy is in EVERYTHING.
Christian Martinez
Bill Bruford toured and played the drums with Genesis when Peter Gabriel left, allowing Phil Collins to take care of the vocals. He also left Yes to join King Crimson and played with Gong for a while.
Christian Gutierrez
Also Flea and Jane's Addiction

and also Duff McKagan and Dave Sitek post-reunion
Hunter Mitchell
William DuVall was in a bunch of moderately notable bands before joining Alice in Chains.
