I was at a thrift store and bought a Fleetwood Mac CD for a dollar and looked them up on Wikipedia to familiarize myself with their member history. I was surprised to see that Neil Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House) was an official member in their latter touring years.
I did the same thing when I bought a Blood Sweat and Tears album at a thrift store and saw on Wikipedia that Bo Bice of early American Idol fame was the lead singer for a while.

Juan Croucier is on Dokken's first album but left to join Ratt. He's not even in their first video.

One that I've always known but probably many don't:
J Tillman, otherwise known as Father John Misty, was the drummer for Fleet Foxes, and has since become more popular than the band he left. I loved Fleet Foxes first EP and Album. Their follow up was ok but they have been a huge disappointment since.

When I saw him, he was playing for Whitesnake. The tour line-up was David Coverdale, Vivian Campbell, Adrian Vandenberg, Rudy Sarzo, and Tommy Aldridge. A bunch of dudes who have played in a bunch of other bands.

Many probably know this, but Robert Smith was in the Cure and in Siouxsie & the Banshees at the same time.

Jimmy Page was a popular session guitarist before Zeppelin (albeit not a group member and rarely made the credits)-
Rolling Stone - Jimmy Page before Zeppelin
Didn't know he played guitar on Joe Cocker version of With a Little Help from my Friends.
quote:
Whether it was jamming on a rock track with the Kinks, the Rolling Stones or the Who, playing the blues with Otis Spann, or providing the backbone to pop hits by Marianne Faithfull and Shirley Bassey, Page was a true Renaissance man who had little trouble handling any style that came his way. And while the full scale of Page’s session discography may never really be known, there are more than enough compelling examples to prove the significance of the future icon’s early work.

Primus guitarist Larry Lalonde is an OG in the bay area metal scene, having played in the band Possessed. He plays on the Seven Churches album which many people consider to be a forerunner to modern death metal.

RnR HoF'ers Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) and David Robinson (The Cars)... were the original keyboard player and drummer of the Modern Lovers... I can't remember when I figured that out, but it definitely wasn't right away...

Wasn't in the band, but Jerry Garcia played slide on the song Teach Your Children by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young on their Deja Vu album.
