Funkadelic. Their recordings with Eddie Hazel are monumental funky guitar bam-a-lam. Since Hendrix was namechecked by George C. himSELF I propose that theoretically Jimi would have adopted a sound similar to Funkadelic crossed with '69 - '74 Miles Davis by the end of 1972. But his lyrics would've been much better; Jimi is under-rated as a wordsmith IMO.

Just listened to the version he sang on Material's Third Power of "Cosmic Slop." Seriously fantastic vocal.

Fo' sho'. That album's unfairly dismissed imo.

The Mothership — the iconic stage prop made famous by legendary funk collective Parliament-Funkadelic — has been acquired by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture where it will help anchor a permanent music exhibition when the museum opens its doors in 2015

The original one was destroyed by outraged fans when it accidentally landed at the Hootie concert.

I didn't even know they had a replica - I told Kim Manning (current P-Funk vocalist) I wanted to try and build George a new Mothership...
