maybe it was for the best that he died when he did. i don't want to imagine him making a disco album or some 80s pop shit with giant drums and synths.

he'd probably be making funk and then rap-rock

He'd keep doing what he was doing. His death, among others, made people scared of psychedelia.

You do realize the other side of the coin, right? Had he not died, disco may have never become popular in the first place.

>>127173525
i dont think you could have prevented disco from happening, you might have been able to delay it a bit but not more than that.

to me his death was the greatest loss for rock music
by the time he died, he had gotten closer to black/soul musicians with the Band of Gypsys, but at the same time there were rumors of him maybe playing in a prog superband
he loved King Crimson, toured with The Soft Machine, and was in talks with ELP before they debuted
one can only wonder what he'd be up to if he lived through the 70s

>ywn listen to Hendrix and Wyatt putting out quirky canterbury-esque prog
>ywn listen to Hendrix and ELP making the ultimate prog-rock suite
>ywn listen to Hendrix and Miles recording hours and hours of fusion jams
>ywn listen to Hendrix and Zappa making weird modal rock songs with a big band backing them up and burp noises
>ywn listen to Hendrix recording an afrobeat record with Fela Kuti
>ywn listen to Hendrix playing with King Crimson or Van der Graaf Generator
>ywn listen to Hendrix colabbing with George Clinton or Sun Ra
Electric Ladyland was only the beginning, he never even got to reach his creative peak
it hurts bros

Didn't Hendrix cuck miles Davis and drive him to madness

He would have definitely prevented van Halen from becoming the new top dog in guitar noodling with that soulless fret tapping

you can just listen to his billy miles shit and see he was going in a lame direction, if he'd lived he would've almost certainly made conscious jazz fusion records

>>127174514
more likely than not he would have done the same thing all his contemporaries did once the counterculture era ended which was become increasingly bland corporate rock

I'm going to tell people he did from now on, thanks

You have no concept of pacing or songwriting.
>>127173498
Unlikely. He appealed to a mostly British audience.

>>127173525
He was already popular retard. >>127174553
More towards prog but eventually yeah. >>127173631
This is true.
