Something "weird"... and something that will surely shock spanish speaking prog fans..
Peter Hamill produced the "Bandido" album, of spanish pop star Miguel Bosé.

Ritchie Blackmore played with The Nice at least once.

I heard something about Steve Howe playing with Black Sabbath... does anyone know anything about that?

Indeed that's quiet a shock... perhaps I remember wrong, but Miguel Bosé for me is just crap pop. Of course, I've never given him much of a chance, and have never been a fan of listening to radio, so I haven't had so much to listen from him. Phil Manzanera produced the second album from spain's rock group "Héroes del Silencio", which is a band I like much more than Miguel Bosé (even though they are certainly very far from prog).

I don't know about that, but as far as I know, Tonny Iomi played with Jethro Tull (it might already have been mentioned in this thread) before Martin Barre joined the group. I don't think there is any recording of them together though.

^^ Just the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus show, recorded 1968 for TV Broadcast.  It's on CD and video now.

Now that you mention it, I may have read something about it some time ago, though aparently I didn't pay much attention... wonder if there is anything interesting there, or just a mere curiosity. Or, at least, if the Rolling Stones material is good... as a matter of fact, I know very little about The Rolling Stones, and perhaps should have a good compilation about them... the few things I know about them are "Satisfaction", Guns n'roses version of "Simpathy for the Devil", Rick Wakeman's version of "Paint it Black"... oh, and a song called "Memory Motel", as far as I know, it's not in any way important in their discography, but I remember liking it very much.

I don't understand; why exactly did Banks refuse? Because someone else makes more than you do is no reason to not play a guitar.

What did Banks refuse? This statement somewhat piked my interest, even though it seems you were actually trying to post in another thread...

Jon Anderson was in a band called "The Warriors", in which he was singing The Beatles' songs. "Hi, I'm Paul McCartney, and I'm DOWN!" :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEu9MLdk7F4 (1:14-1:40). After that, check out Steve playing the baritone Mandolin! :) .

No, this is how the thread started. The Runaway said Banks refused to play the guitar, but why exactly, I didn't get it.

OK, I didn't really remember the first post of this thread, so that confused me. Perhaps it would have been better if you had quoted that post. However, the thing is Peter Banks was in Yes (or at least I think he was, but I haven't checked the dates) when he was offered to enter Genesis by Peter Gabriel, so I guess he didn't want to leave a band that was making more money for another that was making less money. Still, I guess Banks must have regreted not accepting the offer once he was kicked out of Yes. And I guess I still prefer Steve Howe on Yes, and Steve Hackett on Genesis over Peter Banks in any of both bands. On the other hand, it would have been curious to have Peter Gabriel, Peter Banks, and Tony Banks all in the same band.

They would have had two Bank's in the group, and two Peter's as well. Then they could have looked for some Tony Gabriel to round things up.

Perhaps you should read the previous posts the that one, so you can understand the context of such a possibility of a Yes line-up. Though I guess that post was somewhat a joke from "thehallway". By the way, Chris Squire and Alan White had started working with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant for a joint project in the 80's... so that may have become Yes too, but in the end that project didn't happen, and we ended up getting the Trevor Rabin line-up. Still, surely this fact has already been posted on this thread.

-RF was invited to play with Yes but refused
-Vangelis was a candidate to replace Wakeman but in the end Patrick Moraz was chosen
-Phil Collins... well, because he's Phil Collins. But seriously, he wanted or was invited to join Yes

I know about reading previous posts; I just was lazy and didn't see a quote in that one post.

Indeed, it's perfectly obvious that you knew how to read previous posts, but still you didn't do it and it would have helped you. I was even lazier about looking for that particular post and see what was written before. Luckily, javier0889 already cleared our doubts about that.
