No!
Hendrix sure is the guitar God from outer space... but the band is/wasn't in need of a guitarist in that manner, not that kind of a guitarist, like I've said before it would've been cool to see Steve Hillage with ELP just for a show... then back to basics...
I don't think it could be better... it's awesome damn it!

Actually there's an old folklore legend that Jimi and Miles did get together in NY for a session in '69 right after Woodstock. Never been confirmed though. Personally I think that's just what it is, folklore.

How about FELP, or Fripp, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. That would have been good.

the Nice) because he couldn't get Davy to tone it down.... those knives would
of definitely been going by Jimi's head... |

I can't see Hendrix and Emerson being the in the same band, they'd be arguing over the solos. Then Hendrix and Lake would have argued over the singing, and then the guitar solos.

I say who cares. The music would have been much different if Hendirx was in.
But I would have been able to hear more guitar solos, not keyboard solos.

I do feel that Hendrix is THAT GREAT, sure he's a great guitarist and everything, but imagine Steve Howe or Wakeman in ELP :)

Yeah it would have been a lot like blind faith, one great Lp and then the group would have fallen apart most likely.

There is no doubt that the egos would have gotten in the way after one lp....but what an lp it could've been. A shame it didn't happen.

Hendrix's style and approach would have acted as a nice counter-point to Emerson's complete keyboard domination of the music. At the very least, they would have been interesting to hear.

I thought ELP was a band "composed" entirely of primadonnas?

off stage most definitely... but not on-stage...
