Who are some famous members of bands who started out their musical career as solo artists before they became members of that band?
The only people I can think of who qualify are Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, who were both in a solo act before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1975. I almost added Sammy Hagar to the list (he was a solo artist when he joined Van Halen), but he didn't start out his musical career as a solo artist (he was in Montrose before going solo).
I just watched a biography special on Leif Garrett, and it talked about him starting this band called Godspeed.
I don't think you understand what you posted. That youtube link you posted is a song by the band Anberlin called Godspeed. You have your terms confused.
^Okay, I won't discount that possibility. I suppose that could be the other way around, and I need to look up songs by the band Godspeed first. Then look those up on YouTube.
Robert Plant band jumped every night, as a lead singer, in his early career as a blues singer, and then recorded solo works such as Our Song," "Laughing, Crying, Laughing," "Long Time Coming," "I've Got A Secret." It was later he became a member of Led Zepplin and then after the dismemberment of the band embarked on another solo career.

It IS the other way around. I have met Anberlin. I am not implying that your link is wrong, I am TELLING you it is wrong.
