A Fantastic ROCK-AFIRE EXPLOSION Back From The Dead! 

You mean Showbiz Pizza Place. At Chuck E. Cheese, the only way they had the Rock Afire Explosion was if the Rock Afire Explosion was converted to Munch's Make-Believe Band via Concept Unification.

That's actually dook larue the drummer dog:) he's a cutie

I remember when it was Showbiz

@@chequitataylor6522 Memories 🙂

I think that’s the first place I had pineapple on pizza too come to think of it.

Well, aside from his own traveling version of the band (they did songs with Cree-lo Green & Fallout Boy) & the pristine version of them he's maintained at Creative Engineering HQ (before he was forced to sell the warehouse earlier this year due to financial hardship), Aaron Fetcher still has 2 full complete RAE shows left in storage, but they're expensive to care for due to being 3 decades plus old & their parts costing a tidy sum. Plus, despite being a creative genius, Aaron doesn't really like it when fans who purchase a show (or already had a show, in this case) upgrade the band with new songs without his permission (since he's not only the creator of the RAE, he voices 90% of the band, since he originated Billy Bob Brockali, Looney Bird, Rolfe De Wolfe, Earl Schmerle, and following a fallout due to a pay dispute with Burt "Sal" Wilson, he's took over on Fatz Geronimo, whilst Rick Bailey's Beach Bear, another performer whose name eludes me handles Dook La Rue, and Shalissa Sloan-James first started performing Mitzi Mozzarella when she was only 11-years-old).

That's because chuck cheese bought showbiz

@@DazewithJordantheLion thanks for this. I sent it to my sons..62, 59 and 53. It will bring back memories for them. It was always so noisy. Usually full of many birthday parties with screaming kids! Wait in line for an empty game or ride to put quarters into. Ha This made my day. I'm 80 and remember it well. Except the hillbilly singing voices of the animations is lost . These are programed for today songs. Great post. Thank you so much. It was Showbiz pizza and then Chucky Cheeze. 😋

You are thinking of Aaron Fechter and his friends the voice actors of the Original group. You can find his stuff by searching CEC on youtube. He still has at least 1 working show.

Beach bear rocks with the best of them!

I was thinking the same.

I think she was Chuckys girlfriend. Chucky was a male mouse. The celebrity of the bunch when it was Chuckys. Before that the celebrity was the organ playing Gorilla. We loved going there but expensive in late 60's with 4 kids and minimal income. Usually just for a birthday. Two sons shared same day birthday in September so it was a must. And October and February birthdays. Loved seeing this so much.

No. Chuck E Cheese was created in 1977 and Mitzi was created in 1980. However Mitzi's origins as a character dates back to 1978 as a fox known as Queenie in another show made by CEI called The Wolf Pack 5.

Well yes and no, chuck is older I believe and mitiz was used to sell merchandise to young girls for the most part and when CU happen they made Henny more like mitiz(used same mech and completely changed her personality)so they could do the same

Chuck E Cheese came first, Bushnell thought he got a coyote costume when he bought the costume, it turned out to be a rat and he stuck with it. He named him Ricky Rat at first but knew it got too close for copyright comfort to Mickey Mouse. Chuck E Cheese was chosen as a name to force you to smile when you say it. Mitzi was originally given to Showbiz as a fox named Queenie, but Showbiz told Creative Engineering they wanted a mouse character because of Mickey and Chuck to compete with them.

Actually, Showbiz Pizza Place bought Chuck E. Cheese Pizza Time Theater, merging into Showbiz Pizza Time, Inc. However, when corporate bosses wanted Aaron Fetcher to simply hand over the Rock Afire Explosion without being compensated for not only creating the band, but also providing the original voice for 90% of the characters, Aaron rightfully said so. Enter Concept Unification, whereby the Showbiz branding was destroyed, most of the Rock Afire sans Billy Bob (since his character didn't fit in with Concept Unification, he was basically scrapped, meanwhile the leftover bits that hooked him to the stage were resold for spare parts) & Earl Schemerle (who was sadly detached from Rolfe & permanently gotten rid of) were reskinned into the Pizza Time Players under their new moniker of Munch's Make-Believe Band (Rolfe De Wolfe became Chuck E., Mr. Sun became The Building, Dook La Rue swapped eyes with Beach Bear & became Pasqually after he & his drum set were taken off of center stage & placed at Billy Bob's former spot on stage left, Fatz Geronimo became Mr. Munch, Choo Choo the Bear Cub very briefly became Mr. Munch Jr./Baby Munch, Beach Bear with swapped eyes from Dook La Rue became Jasper T. Jowls, Mitzi Mozzarella became Helen Henny, and for a limited time, Looney Bird became the short-lived character Pizza Cam), whereas only Mr. Moon stayed behind and could only look on in horror as his friends were basically massacred and repurposed into the Chuck E. Cheese characters. But as years progressed & Chuck E. Cheese corporate decided that animatronics were not bringing in the customers, the whole company began to remove all of the animatronics and switch over to a lone Chuck E. animatronic for the various iterations of Studio C, only for even that to be thrown out with the most recent refurbishment, better known as the unwanted garbage known as 2.0, where the animatronic stage show was gutted entirely in favor of a CGI dance floor and overhanging television set up that the majority of fans in the SBPP/CEC fan community vehemently detest, because removing the animatronic band just turns Chuck E. Cheese into a kid-friendly Dave 'n Busters by comparison.

You are talking about the king,which was actually a lion, but if you search youtube you can find videos of them in private collections.

@@Binx345me Yeah, I actually found some videos of it that day after I commented on here and posted more about it here in the comments section. On my screen it's right below this comment but its probably different for everyone else. Anyway yeah that is a great childhood memory. Kids today just dont get that type stimulation anymore. Everything has almost become too technological in some ways.

Most likely Munch's Make-Believe Band (a former Rock Afire Explosion 3 stage redone as the Pizza Time Players under their new moniker of Munch's Make-Believe Band in the wake of Concept Unification).
