can you imagine how many times my mom and dad got tired of me asking for my Showbiz tape? I nearly wore the thing out. I talked about Showbiz all my life.

I have waited 35 years to find this. At that time, I was stunned, nearly breathless, at what I witnessed. This is a hugely sophisticated operation. Intelligently synchronized to the actual sound. And they didn't "cheat" by changing the song to fit their limitations. This IS Abbey Road. The animators/programmers had to REALLY know the music. I didn't think that I would live long enough to find this again, this thing I saw one day, ages ago, which shook me at its true magnificence.
That guitar player. He doesn't just mindlessly strum like a clapping monkey. He strokes right on the actual notes. And the camera work on this video, hitting every showpiece event smoothly. This is so $%$&^ing amazing, still, to this day. I am beside myself.
Me too! I saw this as a kid in the early 80's. It was one of my favorite shows! The Creative programming is amazing. Aaron explained in another video about programming head movements (not just going to the left and then to the right). There's more to it and it's like partial movements and rocking (knowing how they work, this is a skill!). I always loved Duke's expressions! If you're familiar with the shows and have seen them a lot you can tell when Showbiz switched to doing their own programming, it didn't have quite the same pop.
Aaron, dude, you outdid yourself on this one. This is the stuff I fall to sleep to at night it’s just, everything is gorgeous. I May not have been able to see this in person but god damnit I’m honored to be alive just to know that this exists. Once again kutos to you, the band that recorded this, and everybody who made this happen. This is truly magical. Thank you.
I watched the carpetbagger's video from a while ago where he went to the some building that was advertising that they had the rockafire explosion, but the animatronics were in terrible shape. You could hear the air leaking constantly, and I felt to bad that I couldn't enjoy the show due to their state. But after discovering your channel, it's so lovely to see them so well taken care of! You're truly an amazing person to have built these yourself!
You mean Billy Bob's Wonderland?, Aaron can't go there and restore them cause when Aaron saw the valve's condition the owner got mad and kicked Aaron out of there.
I remember working at ShowBiz Pizza in Shawnee Kansas circa 1986 and every couple of weeks we'd have to stay late after work and clean the restaurant deeply. And we'd have the engineer put this Beatles tape in so we could listen to it while we worked after hours. Thanks for creating these guys it was so much fun to be a part of it all. These guys were a big part of our lives.
I love The Beatles you did a great job. I like the ones you did in the 80s. I wasn't born in the 80s but my parents went when they were kids they said it was the best place ever when I was born though Chuck e cheese was at the place my parents went to it makes me sad i didn't get to see showbiz but I watch your old videos thank you
It's pretty cool how the Rockafire Explosion can now be operated through digital computer files that function the same way as the old physical showtapes. Amazing how the band has adapted pretty well to modern technology, and those animatronics still hold up very well.
Hey Aaron, Back again almost two years later. I'm 16 now, and a lot has changed. i got into a relationship with the best girl i have ever met in my life, which ended yesterday. I'm a junior in high school and work has been tough. I've been going through some things with my mom, and overall just haven't been all there. I've recently started smoking weed to try to make myself feel better but I'm trying to quit. One thing that hasn't changed over those two years thought is this video's and your ability to lighten up my day no matter the circumstances. From the relatable lyrics in "You Never Give Me Your Money" to the soft emotional instrumental in "Sun King" and all the way through the lighthearted "Mean Mr. Mustard" - "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" and the amazing needed sob inducing "Golden Slumbers" and "Carry That Weight" to the uplifting "The End" and the witty but relatable "Her Majesty," everything paired with your show and expertise in your craft makes this the perfect (for me anyways) way to just forget everything and just be enveloped in the extraordinary vibe you've created. I hope that this will be the last time I comment on this video because things always get better they say. Please take my utmost and sincerest thank you's and kudos once again to your team. Please just know that you have helped a struggling teenage boy through the darkest point in his life so far and to remember that even though the rock-afire's time might be past for some, it isn't for so so so many others. Once again thank you so so so so so so sooooo much for making this. I know you've probably moved to a different location at this point but if the Rock-afire's still there somewhere please take care of them for me and any others like me.
Hello my friend. Thank you for sharing this with me today. I understand what you're going through. You are living the drama and heartache that only a teenager can feel. The older you get, the more wounds you will have suffered, the more scars that will have formed on your heart, and the more damaged you will be. But, out the other side comes peace and tranquility as you find what's really important to you. The girl that once broke your heart so tragically will become a distant memory. The boys that bullied you will be tomorrow's losers as you soar past them in society's eyes. Your love for your mom will be unconditional when she is no longer trying to protect you from yourself and the world and you get to fall on your face with no one there to pick you up. You will be longing for the days she tucked you in bed and you will imagine what it must have been like for your mom when the joy of your birth was everything her life was about. She would have died for you. Weed's got its time and place, although I really don't think kids should smoke it just like alcohol. It doesn't solve any problems or make you happier. Music, projects, animals, and making other people happy will make you happy. Girls, not so much, really. I hope someday you and your wife and kids will come to visit me at my museum. I'll be the old guy tinkering with a new idea and still trying to learn to play the piano. You don't need drugs. You just need you. And no one can take that from you.
Back again to spill my guts about this. I’ve been having a really tough time with some stuff in my life so let me tell ya, when I say this is the first TH-cam video that’s made me cry I mean it made me CRY. I don’t know if it was your singing Aaron or the looks and movements of all the characters, or the small details like Fatz messing up near the end, but something about this just screams to you the amount of effort and soul you and whoever made this happen put into it. It made my day 100 times better and I can’t stress enough how thankful and greatful i am of you and the rockafire explosion. Amazing, absolutely perfect. One more thing, tell Billy Bob I said hi please?
Wow, i never realized how much cool stuff you have actually done you created the rockafire, built that cool email machine (that I can't remember the name of), made whack a mole, met cool people and you still have whats left of creative engineering and this fan base. Not to mention the countless people your work has made happy.
I cant wait till a rockafire tv show or movie comes out! Because Aaron is still working on awesome stuff and marketing ideas I wouldn't be surprised if he has a plan to get to that point! Either way its exciting just to watch what he's doing right now, I know one things for sure he's gonna restore creative engineering and the company will continue forever!!
The same guy made whack a mole??? Are you s-----tting me????? This is one of the most amazing things I've seen in all my life. All my life. The only thing that I can think of that might come close is ... whack a mole. BTW, it's the game I was **BORN** to play. I have a whack-a-mole-a-ball Jones. It's the only game that I utterly slayed everyone on.
@@jacobwilmot I'm new to this party. It's all a whirlwind. All I knew before today was that about 32-odd years ago I took my sole life's peek into Chuck and I've never been the same since seeing the Abbey Road performance then. I'm just now piecing together what is Aaron, Creative, Rock Ex, the Michael encounter, and everything. From what I can tell Aaron is some kind of something.
This is magic. I might only be a "kid" (I prefer pre-teen but if you knew my age you'd call me a kid) but I love The Beatles just as much as any adult. I was doing research on Rock a fire explosion, and found this :3 this made me happy.
Wow. We used to take our kids to Chuck E Cheese like 25-30 years ago when this program was played. Never thought I'd see it again. Coincidentally, my daughter, who was a youngster when we saw this, is now a designer for one of the top animatronics companies in the USA.
@@beefaronibois4446 I'm not allowed to name it because of proprietary restrictions. But she doesn't work there full-time anymore. She does contract work from home.
I mean orlando florida has creative engineering and it also has disney land so I mean it probably wouldn't take too long to move the animatronics and their props and all that stuff
You know when Shobiz was open I loved to go and get some of that good pizza and play some ski ball. When I saw the band then I just never realized the full range of motions with the eyes and everything. I would swear they were alive just watching it all. Truly amazing work. I just wish Showbiz was still around so I could do it all again. Those were the best of times!!! It saddens me to think of what we've lost.
Incredible covers, incredible programming, incredible everything as always. I wish I could have seen these guys when Showbiz still existed in Panama City, and I especially wish I lived closer to Orlando for the chance of seeing them in person! Maybe one day.
This is neat! A lot better than Munch’s Make Believe Band. For many years, I never knew that Rock Afire Explosion even existed. If I could do it and had the funds in which to do so, I would buy a Chuck E. Cheese franchise, let the contract run out and turn it into new incarnation of Showbiz Pizza. I would love to have one of these shows placed on the stage.
October 1982 my parents and cousin went Showbiz and my dad asked if he could record in the store and they agreed. He caught the mid to end of Lousianna and then continued to the Elvis medley. I was 2.
How jaded I was, my kid comes up to me one day, and says dad I have some awesome music to share with you, it was the rock a fire explosion. He was just amazed at the animatronics. I blame five nights at Freddy’s
Again another amazing video. I am so much in love with this band. I am hoping to save money so I can get the dolls. Its has been a dream of mine but every time I turn around I have to pay for other bills and poof money gone and no dolls. But at least I can see them on hear and that is just as good ok it way better. I love how well you record them and I still am amazed on how they move and everything. I also love that spider holding the slice of B-day cake. He is adorable and the frog that sits on the surf board is adorable also. Frogs are my thing I have a lot of them tattooed. I am also sad when I see TheRockafire play case I never got a chance when I was a kid to see them. I was born in the 80's and I missed out case well very poor family. So it puts such a pain in my heart that I missed out of getting anything with the band on it. They will have a special place in my heart until the day I pass away and even then when I am in heaven they will still hold a special place. Its hard to explain how I feel about them. Its like they were the big thing then. And to have been able to see them up close must have been awesome. They are still #1 in my book. And I keep wishing for them to make a come back so that way I can just go to Bangor ME and see them. You are all amazing to have come up with them and to make them move and everything it still is amazing to me. And I want to say thank you. Keep up the great work and keep them amazing videos coming. You Rock and I am so grateful to have gotten to know the story of the band :). God bless you and your family.
Aaron man. Your legacy will live on. Even if it’s iterative. I had never heard of Rockafire Explosion but during the early 2010s I discovered an indie horror game franchise based around showbiz pizza. I was enthralled at the idea of a different franchise than CEC, which I always found underwhelming and honestly uncanny. I’m from WV so I had the chance to see your work in person at Billybobs Wonderland and that’s when I fell in love with Rockafire Explosion. Not as something to be feared but as something beautiful to be admired. Ever since then I’ve been absolutely enamored by the band and the history of Creative Engineering. I no longer live in WV but I plan to visit your band once more in October of this year. Even though it’s only tangentially related it makes me happy that todays younger generation is being exposed to Rockafire Explosion through the FNAF franchise. You truly have touched the hearts of millions throughout the years and my heart goes out to you
I'm brand spanking new to this party (other than a life-changing experience about 30 years ago, watching the Abbey Road show at Chuck. I STILL get goosebumps). If my perception is correct, that the crowd here is intimately acquainted with Chuck, Showbiz, CEC, etc., then some of you may want to venture over to YT channel "Company Man" who just did a feature on Chuck, and strongly references Brock and Showbiz. BTW it's a very engrossing channel to me (every one of his uploads) and is followed by adoring fanatics, as I suspect one or two of you might be with this channel.
This restoration did something for my childhood.. for a moment i felt carefree as i was running around with pockets of tokens at showbiz. God bless your efforts. This is extraordinary. 😢
Huh, I didn't get an email about this one, just kinda popped up out of the blue. But hey its good to see the show isn't having flickering issues anymore!
Man, this is by far my favorite Rock-afire show. I love it so much. Funnily enough, it's what made me buy my first ever album (Abbey Road, naturally), and actually get into The Beatles. Of course, I had always known of them. Who hasn't? I guess it just took something else I already loved to get me to finally check 'em out. I may not have been around yet to see these guys in their heyday, but I'll still enjoy the show, and they'll always have a special place in my heart. Thank you.
No gib to Arron but I’m kinda glad he stopped voicing him, before Rick he just sounded like a goofy knock off , when Rick voices him he’s my favorite character voice wise
Y'know Aaron this is the next RAE showtape I'm working on memorizing, I've memorized the live Christmas showtape, the 12 days of Christmas, Disco Christmas, The Birthday Medley and the tribute to Davy Jones/the Monkees, I can do almost do their voices considering the low female voice I have. Thanks for the inspiration Aaron.
It's actually pretty hard to find the original on TH-cam, let's blame Michael. That's a joke, I want you back will always be in my head, RIP Michael. This is easily one of your most beautiful shows Aaron, along with Sal's Birthday.
So this is where the old channel went! There was no uploads there for 10 years and i was worried this was over but you're still uploading! A festivas miracle!
Hey Aaron, could you upload more videos like this, and some pieces of the premium videos? And leave everything else to the premium subscription channel?
Hey Aaron! I recently saw online a video of an animatronic you designed for a mans carnival ride. It had a mummy/zombie-like head, a white robe, light up eyes, and lifted its head off its body. Can you give me information on it/the animatronics of the character, if you have any? Thank you.
Seeing these characters so lovingly restored and given a stage so they can sing their hearts out once again, gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
Kamek Magikoopa no these are in CE The people who made showbiz pizzas
They were never restored. They’ve looked this great for 40 years.
I think they've been well looked after, that's all.

Not that many people who like Thomas like animatronics from what I have seen good to know someone else exist like that.
Best showtape? It's one of the best, but no, it's not THE best. That title goes to the 1984 Magic Night tape.

The older you get, the more wounds you will have suffered, the more scars that will have formed on your heart, and the more damaged you will be.

She would have died for you. Weed's got its time and place, although I really don't think kids should smoke it just like alcohol. It doesn't solve any problems or make you happier. Music, projects, animals, and making other people happy will make you happy. Girls, not so much, really. I hope someday you and your wife and kids will come to visit me at my museum. I'll be the old guy tinkering with a new idea and still trying to learn to play the piano. You don't need drugs. You just need you. And no one can take that from you.

Incredible covers, incredible programming, incredible everything as always. I wish I could have seen these guys when Showbiz still existed in Panama City, and I especially wish I lived closer to Orlando for the chance of seeing them in person! Maybe one day.
I have rewatched this video so many times I love it so much. This video gives me so much happy chemical
That description, Michael Jackson didn’t know who the Beatles were, sad
Can’t blame him though he wasn’t born yet when they were on Ed Sullivan
Amazing! This is by far the best cover of Abbey Road Medley 😯👍👍👍
Thanks so much for creating this, a trip back in time. Felt like a kid again!
Beautiful video Aaron! Absolutely amazing!
Mitzi’s voice in sun king was gave me goosebumps
This is neat! A lot better than Munch’s Make Believe Band. For many years, I never knew that Rock Afire Explosion even existed. If I could do it and had the funds in which to do so, I would buy a Chuck E. Cheese franchise, let the contract run out and turn it into new incarnation of Showbiz Pizza. I would love to have one of these shows placed on the stage.
i watch this tape nearly daily, its so incredible. would love to see it re-recorded in 2021 with the 4k cameras and HQ audio x
October 1982 my parents and cousin went Showbiz and my dad asked if he could record in the store and they agreed. He caught the mid to end of Lousianna and then continued to the Elvis medley. I was 2.
I never saw the RAE as a kid but there’s something that feels so nostalgic about this that gives me a warm feeling inside
Amazing. I grew up in the 1980's and had plenty of Birthdays at Showbiz. Brilliant.
How jaded I was, my kid comes up to me one day, and says dad I have some awesome music to share with you, it was the rock a fire explosion. He was just amazed at the animatronics. I blame five nights at Freddy’s
Again another amazing video. I am so much in love with this band. I am hoping to save money so I can get the dolls. Its has been a dream of mine but every time I turn around I have to pay for other bills and poof money gone and no dolls. But at least I can see them on hear and that is just as good ok it way better. I love how well you record them and I still am amazed on how they move and everything. I also love that spider holding the slice of B-day cake. He is adorable and the frog that sits on the surf board is adorable also. Frogs are my thing I have a lot of them tattooed. I am also sad when I see TheRockafire play case I never got a chance when I was a kid to see them. I was born in the 80's and I missed out case well very poor family. So it puts such a pain in my heart that I missed out of getting anything with the band on it. They will have a special place in my heart until the day I pass away and even then when I am in heaven they will still hold a special place. Its hard to explain how I feel about them. Its like they were the big thing then. And to have been able to see them up close must have been awesome. They are still #1 in my book. And I keep wishing for them to make a come back so that way I can just go to Bangor ME and see them. You are all amazing to have come up with them and to make them move and everything it still is amazing to me. And I want to say thank you. Keep up the great work and keep them amazing videos coming. You Rock and I am so grateful to have gotten to know the story of the band :). God bless you and your family.
Great video, Aaron! One of my favorites!
This is the best video on TH-cam!!!!!!!!!! I love Rockafire Explosion thank you so much for upload!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man this is such a neat video. i am utterly in awe at the Rock-adfire. feel kinda robbed to be born too late to see the coolest animatronic band ever
This video makes me so happy. I love the Beatles, and these guys sound amazing!
Aaron man. Your legacy will live on. Even if it’s iterative. I had never heard of Rockafire Explosion but during the early 2010s I discovered an indie horror game franchise based around showbiz pizza. I was enthralled at the idea of a different franchise than CEC, which I always found underwhelming and honestly uncanny. I’m from WV so I had the chance to see your work in person at Billybobs Wonderland and that’s when I fell in love with Rockafire Explosion. Not as something to be feared but as something beautiful to be admired. Ever since then I’ve been absolutely enamored by the band and the history of Creative Engineering. I no longer live in WV but I plan to visit your band once more in October of this year. Even though it’s only tangentially related it makes me happy that todays younger generation is being exposed to Rockafire Explosion through the FNAF franchise. You truly have touched the hearts of millions throughout the years and my heart goes out to you
The Rock-afire Explosion is amazing! Thanks for sharing this video!😄😄😄😄🙌🙌🙌🙌
I'm brand spanking new to this party (other than a life-changing experience about 30 years ago, watching the Abbey Road show at Chuck. I STILL get goosebumps). If my perception is correct, that the crowd here is intimately acquainted with Chuck, Showbiz, CEC, etc., then some of you may want to venture over to YT channel "Company Man" who just did a feature on Chuck, and strongly references Brock and Showbiz. BTW it's a very engrossing channel to me (every one of his uploads) and is followed by adoring fanatics, as I suspect one or two of you might be with this channel.
Why must they be so adorable?
That was amazing and beautiful. 💖💖 The Rockafire explosion sure can rock. Whoo hoo!
"All good children gone to heaven"
This is eerily meta with the proper context lol.
it'd be awesome to see them perform side one too! love these animatronics
that little "oops" when fatz hits the wrong key in the end was so unnecessary but made it so much better. i love little details like that
I LOVE EARLS PERFORMENCE IN THIS
Of one, if not the BEST Rockafire showtapes.
Beautiful! All of the animation is stunning!
This restoration did something for my childhood.. for a moment i felt carefree as i was running around with pockets of tokens at showbiz. God bless your efforts. This is extraordinary. 😢
so amazing, aaron
Huh, I didn't get an email about this one, just kinda popped up out of the blue. But hey its good to see the show isn't having flickering issues anymore!
Favorite songs and album Abbey road by The Beatles being covered by the Rockafire Explosion.😊
Man, this is by far my favorite Rock-afire show. I love it so much.
Funnily enough, it's what made me buy my first ever album (Abbey Road, naturally), and actually get into The Beatles.
Of course, I had always known of them. Who hasn't? I guess it just took something else I already loved to get me to finally check 'em out.
I may not have been around yet to see these guys in their heyday, but I'll still enjoy the show, and they'll always have a special place in my heart. Thank you.
Greatest animatronic show since the carousel of progress( a disney park attraction which has more performances than any other stage show)
This is cool that still have these
I want to come see this in person!
Mitzi's first song in 1982
love beatles Abbey road show tape by the rock-afire explosion
sue!
I've known the rock afire explosion for around since I was four and I still love them Adam will you send me a Billy Bob mask
If you want one your best chance is to look on eBay, email Him, or get a tour of CEI and ask him.Btw his name is Aaron.
I have to say this is my favorite show out of them all it will always remind me of the day I took the tour at CEI
HALLOWEENHAUNTER /GEMMY COLLECTER then why are you watching this video? lol
It's great to see these characters
Performing again!
THIS IS SO -GOOD- AMAZING FOR 1982
I'm so happy to see this on YT because I was born in 2012
Eek! You are so young! Be careful out there don't screw up your brain!
@@sammyvantas9627Fr
Also the first show with Rick Bailey the current beach bear voice and the last show with Aaron as Beach Bear
No gib to Arron but I’m kinda glad he stopped voicing him, before Rick he just sounded like a goofy knock off , when Rick voices him he’s my favorite character voice wise
YES! I LOVE THE BEATLES!!!
So well cared for good job Aaron.
I freaking love this show. 😀 Beach Bear and Rolfe and Mitzi are my faves
Y'know Aaron this is the next RAE showtape I'm working on memorizing, I've memorized the live Christmas showtape, the 12 days of Christmas, Disco Christmas, The Birthday Medley and the tribute to Davy Jones/the Monkees, I can do almost do their voices considering the low female voice I have.
Thanks for the inspiration Aaron.
I've never clicked on a video so fast.
One of my favourite Rockafire shows its such a good tribute to the beatles and the programming is amazing
It's actually pretty hard to find the original on TH-cam, let's blame Michael. That's a joke, I want you back will always be in my head, RIP Michael. This is easily one of your most beautiful shows Aaron, along with Sal's Birthday.
What?
@@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario It was hard to get Beatles music digitally for quite a while.
I love the Rock-afire Explosion
So this is where the old channel went! There was no uploads there for 10 years and i was worried this was over but you're still uploading! A festivas miracle!
I never went anywhere!
@@therockafirei think hes talking about your old channel, “fanprograms”
I really like the golden slumber song from the Abbey road album and the thumbnail
Billy Bob and Looney Bird must've been the inspiration behind Banjo Kazooie
Now tht u mention it yeah they look quite similar
YES!! I love this album!
This video is worth the 13 minutes to watch
Doesn't get much better than this! Just need to order a pizza and watch :)
1:52 HIT THAT NOTE BILLY BOB!!👏😅
You are the best Aaron!
My favorite Rock-Afire show.
Hey Aaron, could you upload more videos like this, and some pieces of the premium videos? And leave everything else to the premium subscription channel?
this is my favorite show tape
I love the rock a fire explosion
Mitzi voice was so cute ^•^
This was shalisas first showtape as Mitzi. She was pretty young as well
Hey Aaron! I recently saw online a video of an animatronic you designed for a mans carnival ride. It had a mummy/zombie-like head, a white robe, light up eyes, and lifted its head off its body. Can you give me information on it/the animatronics of the character, if you have any? Thank you.
I've always been interested in that too
It was probably a mijin
@@Kelpflakes may have been, I remember it being really old, like one of the first few ventures by CE
@@Kelpflakes I think it was earlier than the mijjin era, it rose like 15 feet tall as well
I want to have a tour of creative engineering for my birthday in january where would I sign up for that if possible
You have to email him.
Well...... that's my dream too,my birthday is in December I would be so happy! >W<
I live fairly close but I don't have $350
Next year I'm eleven, I might pluck up the courage to go. I live in UK.
