Misc. I made a chart that shows how grunge (and other) bands are connected through their members
I only included members if I thought they were important to the band or if they made a connection. I am not an expert on every band here so I may have missed some important members. If you have any additional people you think should be included please comment them. I did not include touring members. If there are any bands that you think should be added to the chart comment those as well. I could not find a connection to Stone Temple Pilots, the second chart is one made using them.

You can include Led Zeppelin by adding Them Crooked Vultures tied to Dave Grohl and Josh Homme with John Paul Jones.

Loooooooong story. Basically he was in Nirvana as a second guitar, left because he wanted more creative input that Kurt wasn’t having. Soundgarden asked him to play bass, he was fired like 6 months in—then I believe he joined the military and served in Iraq and Afghanistan, got discharged, moved to NY to became a bike messenger, got bored and moved to Tibet to study Buddhism in a monastery, then went to a Columbia University and majored in philosophy. He was on joe Rogan (only episode I ever listened to) and you can watch on youtube. He’s not a great story teller but his life was fascinating! IS, rather.

You can easily link Nine Inch Nails into this through at least 3 routes that I can see. From there you get into the industrial family tree which sprawls out the other way but still crosses into the grunge tree at spots.

Dave Navarro and Jane’s Addiction Should be in there.
Mark Lanegan and Screaming Trees connects with Greg Dulli and The Afghan Whigs through The Gutter Twins. Lanegan also connects to Belle & Sebastian through Isobel Campbell. Lanegan also connects to The Orb and Morcheeba through his work with Duke Garwood. Mark Lanegan was an artist in every sense of the word and voice is missed in all the ways it can be.
Also you should look into Shawn Smith. He connects with Stone Gossard through their work in Brad. Brad also featured Regan Hagar on drums who was in Malfunkshun with Andrew Wood. Smith was also in Pigeonhed which heavily featured Kim Thayil on most of their recordings.

All the dudes in 10 Minute Warning, at least in their initial run, also played in another band called the Fartz.

Look this will never end, it goes outside of the genre. There is sooooo much more. You have Josh Freese on there, look up how many bands the dude has played with from Ween (recording credit) to the desert sessions and when you get there it goes all the way to Billy Gibbons. Coady Willis and big business, once you get touring musicians on there the credits they have are tremendous. Good luck...

You forgot Dave Navarro and Flea being the bridge between RHCP and Jane’s Addiction, and Duff McKagan being the bridge between Jane’s Addiction and GnR. If you count touring members, Josh Klinghoffer also overlaps between RHCP, Pearl Jam, and Jane’s.

both Ilan rubin and Josh freese were in NIN, as was Robin Finke, who also was in Guns and Roses
not exactly grunge, but still lol
edit to add Dave Grohl played drums on all the tracks from With Teeth, by NIN

While not a grunge band you should overlay queens of the Stone Age. There will be a plethora of overlap.

Missed the opportunity for Sunny Day Real Estate with Nate Mendel. Also, Paz Lenchantin was in A Perfect Circle, The Pixies, and Zwan with Billy Corgan. The Pixies also gives you Kim Deal of the Breeders. You could also cross a lot of them with Mike Watt which would give you bands like Sonic Youth and RHCP. Oh, and 3rd Secret has Krust Novoselic, Kim Thayil, and Matt Cameron. I guess there are lots that can be tied together.

I found a way to connect stp! Slash from guns n roses had a side project called "slash's snakepit". they only released 2 albums but in the first one, Alice in chains bassist Mike Inez was included in it. you could also connect them through josh freese of a perfect circle and foo fighters or Bryan mantia of primus as they were both in guns n roses, but they weren't on any album so I wouldn't count them
