Legend has it that George Clinton told Eddie Hazel to play what it would feel like if his parents had just died, while he was tripping on acid.... after the solo he was informed that it was a lie and they decided to fade out almost every other instrument except the low bass playing, drums, and hazels solo.

Even if that's not true, turn it up to 11 and bask in it's glory!!!

I never heard that story. Eddie had a couple albums of his own, "Games, Dames and Guitar Thangs" and "Jams From the Heart", neither of which were to the height of "Maggot Brain". MB is still to this day my number one for guitar solos.
Also on the list would be: (not in any particular order)
Hendrix-Villanova Junction
Quicksilver Messenger Service-Happy Trails (the whole album)
anything by David Gilmour

Some asshole ripping a million notes a second up and down the neck sounds like fucking garbage in my opinion. Fuck technical ability, melody is where it's at.

That is the most retarded thing I have heard in awhile. Obviously you have no clue what a melody is and you seem to think it is just a random assortment of notes they play.. Technical ability is amazing when used correctly and I have yet to see it used badly in this thread. If you want an example of someone just trying to show off how fast he is without having an amazing melody then here you go, this is what technical ability sounds like without amazing melody.

I may not like the melody of this song but it is quite fucking amazing watching this guy play.

By the way here is the definition of melody..
Melody - a sweet or agreeable succession or arrangement of sounds :
