Aaron FechterVolo Museum Rock-afire Debut in June, 2024The Rock-afire Explosion2024-04-20 | The Rock-afire Explosion will be debuting at The Volo Auto Museum in Volo, IL in June of 2024!Original Colander Head Artwork Reveal * March 4th, 2024The Rock-afire Explosion2024-03-30 | I am making up for not having had time to send you a video last week. Today's video is really 3 weeks' worth of videos in one video. I am revealing the original artwork that Dave Thomas did for the Colander Head Indoctrination Show and pointing out my favorite little parts of his artwork and telling how it fit into the Colander Head show ideas.
But, at the same time, I am starting to fill in the missing pieces that the young lady left out of her documentary "hit piece" on me, seemingly with the intention of bringing me pain, misery and embarrassment, while hoping to turn a new generation of Rock-afire fans against me by saying that, "Other than Aaron Fechter, the Rock-afire Explosion is pretty cool and I am totally obsessed with it to the point that I want to be the new queen of the Aaron Fechter hater community now that Eye Patch Boy has decided Aaron isn't such a bad guy".
If none of that makes any sense to you, don't worry about it. I'm just doing what I promised I would do by praying for my haters and continuing to devote myself to my true fans.
And, in so doing, you will be treated, in this video, to a very important announcement about the future of The Rock-afire Explosion. In fact, I'm going to predict that what you will hear about in this video will be bigger than FNAF!An Adults Only Tribute To Burt Wilson- The Voice Of Fatz By Dirt McCoyThe Rock-afire Explosion2024-02-18 | Adults Only Please: youtu.be/ucnVtOKjOxc?si=gKDKGI1tKzEtGUTXCome To Florida- Jan. 20th, 2024The Rock-afire Explosion2024-01-21 | Still like the change of seasons?

I paid full price for my Allegro IV that Kris told me would be perfect for my portable piano needs and I couldn't be happier with it! And I unboxed it on this video for your viewing pleasure.R.I.P. My Beloved Friend Sal/Burt * Part VI - Victorias TourThe Rock-afire Explosion2024-01-05 | This is the last of this series. Let's listen in again to some more memories of Sal and Aaron about the good ol' days or the bad ol' days, depending on what day it was. Goodbye Sal. I never knew this would be our last moments together. I have loved you more that you will ever know.R.I.P. My Beloved Friend Sal/Burt * Part V * Victorias Tour With SalThe Rock-afire Explosion2024-01-03 | In this episode, we continue listening in on Sal and Aaron talking about the good ol' days when we were making shows for The Rock-afire Explosion, the Showbiz house band. If you wondered about our relationships, here are some Behind The Scenes details as Sal and Aaron try to recall what it was like.R.I.P. My Beloved Friend Sal/Burt * Victorias Tour Part IV * Victorias Tour With SalThe Rock-afire Explosion2024-01-02 | Sal is the voice of Fatz from the beginning of Showbiz through the early 2000's when Sal's career took him a different direction and I did the best job I could taking over the performance of the voice of Fatz. As some of you may know, there were many years since then that Sal and I had not spoken with each other. It's not my purpose to get into the details of that hiatus in our friendship that was once the most cherished and important friendship in my life.
This historic reunion of Aaron and Sal had been many years coming and we had already been speaking again and planning to get together when possible when Victoria just surprised me and brought Sal with her to her tour at Creative Engineering last Summer. Admittedly, I was not ready to suddenly have this reunion, and Victoria really paid the price for pulling this surprise on me because , what she didn't know is, when Sal and I get together, even on a normal basis, we don't shut up. We joke around, tell stories, and now, after decades of working together, had plenty to reminisce about. And all that talking came out of Victoria's time to tour the shop.
But, I turned on the camera and captured our ramblings for you, my Premium Subscribers and tried to frame all this conversation as stories that we were telling Victoria about our life together so she wouldn't feel too left out and cheated out of her tour.
So, for those of you who know more about the history of Creative Engineering and the Rock-afire Explosion even than I, here's a treasure trove of memories and stories that show how close Sal and I were as we were creating the phenomenon that rocked the pizza world in the 80's.R.I.P. My Beloved Friend Sal/Burt * Part III * The Genesis of The Colander Head * Victorias TourThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-12-31 | In the wake of Sal's passing, all these memories become even more precious and too important to too many of you to keep them in the archives of the Premium Video Club. We shouldn't be talking about this. We should be talking about the reunion of the character voices to embark upon a new platform on which the Rock-afire would bring more joy to the world. We will still do that, but now we know it will be without the best of us at the microphone.
In this 3rd part of Victoria's tour and the 1st get together with Sal in many years, Sal and I discussed the genesis of the Colander Head Movement.R.I.P. My Beloved Friend Sal/Burt * Victorias Tour Part II * Gossiping About RickThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-12-30 | We go back to last Summer when Victoria came for her tour of Creative Engineering and, by some stroke of misfortune had to sit there and listen to Sal and me get caught up on a few memories. In this episode, Sal and I were just sort of scatting around in our heads about our memories of Rick Bailey, the voice of Beach Bear. If you ever wondered what Rick was really like behind the scenes and, as an artist, I think this discussion covers a lot! And through the magic of video and the Internet, you are now the fly on the wall at a very typical get together like Sal and I had so many times, so many years ago.R.I.P. My Beloved Friend Sal/Burt * Victorias Tour and Reunion with Sal ** Part IThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-12-29 | This video was released on The Premium Channel on October 30th, 2019.
When Victoria showed up for her "Super Tour", an expensive, two day experience of shows, tours, discussions, Hydrillium fired dinners, and other customized CEI tour events, she brought a "friend" along as a surprise to me in the wake of some hard feelings between that friend and me that may not have been resolved. She may have thought the bad blood between us would vanish the moment we laid eyes on each other again. She may have hoped he might be welcomed back at Creative after a long hiatus, and many years since he has done the Fatz voice.
As well meaning as that is, it is a very dangerous to pull a reunion stunt on someone who is obligated to spend time with you, but may not wish to visit with the third party you're bringing along. You could get fireworks, where you were hoping for rainbows and butterflies.
Or you could just lose all the time you paid for to spend with me as Sal and I get caught up on everything we haven't gotten to talk about in so many years.
Fortunately, though, Sal and I had already started talking again and were already planning to get together when possible. That's probably why Sal went along with Victoria's "surprise".
So, basically, Victoria just found out what it was like to hang out with Sal and me back in the 80's for her customized CEI tour. I still tried to give Victoria a good tour for her money and some personal attention, but I think she learned, that when Sal and Aaron start tangenting, especially after not seeing each other for so long, you can forget about getting in a word edgewise.
I would be interested in hearing from you all as to whether you want to see more of this..There is plenty to share, and I definitely consider it "Behind The Scenes".Carsons Mini Animatronic Billybob StageThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-12-18 | How To Join The Premium Channel: ebay.com/itm/153434591769Three Little Pigs * Read By Billybob * Thanksgiving 2023The Rock-afire Explosion2023-11-23 | I hope you're all having a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with your families today and wanted to give everyone a little Rock-afire treat to go with the Cranberry sauce!Part III Aaron Reacts To His Life Story as Told By JunoThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-11-21 | In this part Juno has put a lot of effort into compiling many Rock-afire Explosion clips over the years to demonstrate the personalities of the characters. I think this portion of her documentary shows how I've spent the majority of my life trying to bring happiness to the public and she says I've succeeded. But, she doesn't seem to like the fact that in much of our music we sing frequently about the attraction of boys to girls as it is in most of the music created since the beginning of time. This left me a bit confused, but still very honored by her praise of my life's work.LOST! * Test Pressings of 2 Rock-afire Explosion 45 RPMsThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-11-17 | eBay Link: ebay.com/itm/155894426284?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jC8PeLt8QT6&sssrc=2566055&ssuid=jC8PeLt8QT6&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
These are two test pressings of the Rock-afire Explosion 45 RPM records, "Born To Run" and "The Colander Head Song", AKA "Strain Your Brain". They were "lost" in my garage for over 40 years. They are the size of a normal LP, because these metallic test pressing blanks are used for both 7" 45 RPM's and 12" LP's by the pressing company, QCA. They both have a black paint like material flaking off of the metallic surface except on the area where the music actually is. It appears the black "stuff" that has separated and flaked off was purely cosmetic to make the metal look like a normal "record". I left the flakes in the packge. I believe these will still play on a record player or turntable, but the audio may not be perfect due to possible pits that have formed over the years in the audio portion. This is a great, one of a kind collector's item. I am selling these two pressings on eBay at this link: ebay.com/itm/155894426284?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jC8PeLt8QT6&sssrc=2566055&ssuid=jC8PeLt8QT6&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPYPart II Aarons Life Story by Juno and AaronThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-11-15 | Here's Part II of my additions, corrections, and questions about the documentary produced by someone named Juno who I have been told is 22 years old and not 16. In this part, we are introduced to Bob Brock who I feel is the second greatest man I have ever known. His generosity and loyalty was amazing. I feel G-d brought us together and guided me to grab the contract to create Showbiz Pizza Place with Bob. He changed all of our lives and deserves his own documentary.
Please keep your comments respectable. If you can't, they will be filtered out.My Reaction To A Teens Video On My Lifes Story * Part IThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-11-14 | I have had the honor of having had a 16 year old, up and coming documentary maker produce a 2 hour video "essay" on my entire 50 year career. She said it took 9 months to create and covers every area of my life, including politics and includes her critique of what I've done right and what I've done wrong. I feel it deserves a reaction video. Because of the sheer length of her video, I have broken it up into parts. Here's Part I.Billybob Reads: Ernies Big Mess Featuring Sesame Street MuppetsThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-11-10 | DRUM ROLE PLEASE!..... And now! The exact book I used to make this video is signed by me and for sale on eBay! If I sell the book, I'll read another story! ebay.com/itm/155882091682
This is just an experiment. For 4 decades, I have imagined reading children's stories in the character voices, and thought, back in 1985, that the mini animatronic Billybob doll would read these stories to children and that the video would come from a video tape as does the audio track and the signals that operated the doll. This idea required a very complex and expensive infrastructure as well as a delicate, and expensive doll that people would have to buy.
So, while attempting to clean my garage, and after finding my collection of children's books, buried for 40 years, under what appears to be nests of animals that got in over the years, and after cleaning the books off while preparing to take them to Goodwill, I couldn't help but do this today.
And, at this rate, I will never get my garage clean.RARE! * Free Sample of Wolf Pack 5 Film from 1978The Rock-afire Explosion2023-11-06 | To join the Premium Subscription Channel to see this whole video and lots more "Behind The Scenes" videos as I work towards the next phase of the life of Creative Engineering, Inc., The Rock-afire Explosion and the great, future hobby of animatronics, click here: creativeengineering.bigcartel.com/product/creative-engineering-insider-video-clubRare!

As I restore the other CEI museum pieces I'll also be restoring this great little buggy. But, today, all I wanted to do was imitate the news story video that was produced in 1981 as I say goodbye to the building that became Ground Zero for The Rock-afire Explosion.Computer Baron * Broadcast March 11, 1981The Rock-afire Explosion2023-05-13 | This news story was based on the burgeoning interest in computers back in 1981 when people were trying to imagine what the various roles computers would someday play in our lives. So, I told what I thought about computers and how they made possible my work in animatronics and entertainment. But the real reason I went looking for this news story today is that I have gotten the Jutta working again and will be restoring it. I needed to find that little clip at the beginning where I parked my Jutta in front of the plant and walked in so I could do a 42 years later retake of that drive. I would have thought this footage would be on YouTube somewhere, but I couldn't find it so here's the whole thing.MoonRockers Disassembly Premium Video SamplesThe Rock-afire Explosion2023-05-01 | We're moving The Moonrockers to the new museum!

It was hacked, as you know and taken from me by tricksters who I thought were real collaborators wanting to sponsor my channel. I'll go into more specifics as to how they tricked me later, but for now, I just want to warn everyone not to talk to "Channel Collaborators".
The channel is not completely back to normal yet as most of my public videos were unlisted by the hacking, which I will eventually get fixed. Also, it appears that all the comments on all my videos have been lost but I have hope to get those back too, which I'll explain more about later.
For now, here is a video showing the latest happenings regarding the move from my Jefferson St. building to my new Palatka building, and my wishes to all my subscribers to have a Merry Christmas, and to get ready for a great New Year!!Aarons Reaction To First Viewing of Saturday Fun by WHOAAThe Rock-afire Explosion2022-10-09 | This reaction video had to wait for quite a few months until I had time to make it. In fact, to be sure my reaction was genuine, I had to prevent myself from watching the video or any part of it until this night that Marcus and I sat down to make this video, which was tormenting to say the least. But, finally sitting down to view the video, Marcus and I also played, for the first time, the "Behind The Scenes" video that WHOAA has posted on their YouTube channel, and we continued our reaction video to include the BTS video as well. The link for that is down below.

I didn't want to stop showing them shows. I knew this was the last tour, and the last show and I wished we could keep watching the show all night. But, as all good things must end some day, so must this phase of my life and giving tours and shows at "Ground Zero", the birthplace of The Rock-afire Explosion. So, we played a couple of the epic show tapes from our history and, lastly, an appropriate "Rock-afired" song, "Baby When The Lights Go Out".The Last Tour Part IV- Everything Ages and DiesThe Rock-afire Explosion2022-07-16 | This is the last part of the last tour before we go into the show room and play the last performance of The Rock-afire Explosion. So, in this episode, I show the Robinsons the rest of the basement as it is in the middle of packing everything up, and how we're collecting all the museum pieces together in the hopes that we will establish a Creative Engineering museum in our next life.
After this episode, there will be one more episode of The Robinson's Tour where I just shot the show as they watched.
I have never been as impressed with the mechanical longevity of The Rock-afire Explosion as I am right now. It seems like everything I am testing as I pack up, whether it is a tape deck, a cassette player, an amplifier, the fork lift, my stored cars, drills, air tools, hydraulic press, monitors, computers, disk drives, equalizers, video games, mixer boards, the garage door opener, the fluorescent lights, the copy machine, printers... EVERYTHING IS BROKEN! Everything, that is except my 100 year old elevator, my 40 year old lathe and milling machines, the air conditioner in my little kitchen, and my Rock-afire Explosion. Those are the things that work perfectly. Isn't that strange?
This whole move has been a slap in the face, awakening me as to how long it's been, how much time 45 years actually is, what can survive 45 years and what can't. Many of the people I knew have not survived. Most of the equipment I thought I would have and use forever has not survived.
But, my love for inventing has survived, and the enjoyment of sharing all of this has survived. If we get to build a museum, it will be a lot of fun. We'll force the Hard Luck Bears and the Wolf Pack 5 to survive. It will be more amazing than I used to think it would be to see these things rocking again, now that I know how everything ages and dies, except me, of course.The Last Tour Part IIIThe Rock-afire Explosion2022-07-16 | Continuing with Part III of The Robinson's Tour, and the last tour I expect to give at Jefferson St., I'm trying not to leave anything out. Chris and his family are asking great questions that should reverberate in the minds of all the fans who never got to take their own tour and ask many of these same questions. All of this matters, or nothing matters. I am not able to say. All I can do is capture this, and give it to you for your consideration.The Last CEI Tour * Part IIThe Rock-afire Explosion2022-07-09 | Part II of the Robinson's tour on June 3rd, 2022.

This tour is a historic conclave, so, get ready for lots more of The Robinsons at Creative Engineering.The Last Tour at CEI * Part IThe Rock-afire Explosion2022-07-07 | The Robinsons have the distinction of having been the last family to get a tour of the birth place of The Rock-afire Explosion. This is even though there has been a huge reorganization and preparation for our move to our new shop. I considered it an important enough event to personally video tape this event and will put it up in pieces.

This is Nick's Rock-afired interpretation of Skylar Grey's Beneath With Me.Moonrockers Tribute by TJ the DJ and Galactistar StudiosThe Rock-afire Explosion2021-12-15 | TJ and friends have been working on this for over a year and now they've given me this wonderful tribute video to one of Creative Engineering's animatronic rock bands you don't hear as much about because they live on the moon!

By the way, Joel's telethon was extremely successful, netting him over $6,000,000 to make new episodes. It made me think I ought to try crowdfunding new Showbiz Pizza Show Tapes, but that's another topic.
