Keith Levene, the pioneering guitarist who was a co-founder of the Clash and the deeply influential original member of Public Image Ltd., has died in Norfolk, U.K. His death was announced by former…
He met fellow Clash co-founder Mick Jones in the mid-1970s and formed an early version of that band; he and manager Bernard Rhodes were actually the ones who convinced singer Joe Strummer to join. But Levene was unimpressed with the then-embryonic band’s musical skills and left, after co-writing the song “What’s My Name,” from the group’s galvanizing 1977 debut album.
While the group’s sound could not be pigeonholed as punk, their confrontational attitude most certainly was: Their concerts were famously shambolic, as captured on the 1980 live album “Paris au Printempts,” and the group didn’t even pretend to mime on a surreal performance on the U.S. pop-music TV show “American Bandstand,” with Lydon leading the baffled audience onto the floor with the group, where they danced awkwardly while the bandmembers lurched around the stage.
