द्वारा Denise Wilson for World Net Newswires

Marshall Barnes, internationally noted R&D engineer and the man with the first warp drive technology and so much more, is surprising many people द्वारा wailing away on electric गिटार in an audition to be a member of Ellen DeGeneres' "squad" on Ellentube (see link ). Marshall, who has made an international name for himself in certain science and innovation circles is not known for his rock skills, but the fact is that he was a well known underground rock multi-instrumentalist and award winning rock video director and special effects expert. Sources close to Marshall say that when he saw an episode on Ellen where she called for people interested in joining her squad to send in वीडियो telling her why

Blues artist Dick Makey is rumored to have remarked to Marshall, when he saw the video, "Well one thing is for sure, no one can that आप can't play guitar...". The performance Marshall gives reflects a Jimi Hendrix influence but others have pointed out that there is also a strong Todd Rundgren feel overall. Rundgren a virtual unknown to anyone born after 2000, was a major influence on Marshall growing up as referenced in his book on Stephen Hawking, link. In the chapter, The Todd Rundgren Effect, Marshall goes into great detail, revealing how not only did Rundgren influence him as a teenager but that their backgrounds were so similar that he felt like Rundgren was a much older brother.

"Rundgren not only influenced me musically, he became a major influence and guide toward how I viewed and learned about creativity. In my Hawking book I showed how what I learned about creativity has दिया me the edge when dealing with Stephen Hawking issues. I took what I learned from Todd and applied beyond anything anyone else has, including him."

There's no indication what the अगला step will be as far as Ellen's squad या if Marshall will even end up on it - yet, but the fact that it was cleared to be पोस्टेड on Elllentube is a good sign and will expose Marshall to a completely new audience.
