That would be Keith Levene , who was the original guitarist in The Clash..

Levene’s infamous circular rhythms, he claims, indirectly come from things Yes guitarist Steve Howe taught him. "When I was fifteen I went to work for my favorite band as a roadie—which was Yes—and I was a terrible roadie. Yeah, so even though I play nothing like him, Steve Howe is still my favorite guitarist. I don’t copy him. I do get a lot of my internal knowledge, or feeling on guitar, or what you can do and what kinds of sounds you can make from Steve Howe. I think he is so damned good; he taught me a lot, when I worked for Yes, but he didn’t know he was my hero."
