The Rock-afire Explosion "Live" 

RIP😭😭😭😭

+SPP LP she did firework

+SPP LP He isn't involved because Aaron promised him a lot of money to leave the band he was currently in (which was rising in popularity) but Burt only got half of that.

ScootsNB Sadly, Dave Thomas recently died. RIP Legend

mjmotard dave thomas was the rae artist

ScootsNB and voiced mitzi when she was only 11.

OKAY! Don't get creepy lol. I'm kidding XD

ikr isnt Rick Bailey (voice actor of beachbear) awesome?! pus he is a hottie

ERROR: #290384AC You may The guy OH DAMMMM I FORGET HIS NAMEEEEEEE

ERROR: #290384AC I know right

ERROR: #290384AC "was"

We were strongly considering doing that. But the two problems came together. One was that I couldn't keep the bands egos under control. They all thought they were Brice Springsteen (except Shalisa whose feet were always on the ground). But Sal, Rick, Claude and even Duke had egos to the moon, lost sight of how great it was that we had this gig, and, at the same time, the gig came to an end due to Showbiz Pizza's mismanagement. Blame Aaron.

@@therockafire you folks still occasionally collaborate right? With sittin' too long and ask adam?

@@therockafire why do you say blame aaron when you are aaron? Do you just speak in the third person or something?

@@therockafire god dammit

Same

IKR

Y u p

Aaron did a great job

Ikr he must've hurt his voice

Just so you guys know that was the animal muppet not Earl (you guys probably know this but just to make sure)

​@@FreeSpiritPaulettethey were talking about his voice-

Maybe shocking to hear, but not all females are intimidated by men, nor do they need female guidance to function.

That’s really cute!

Ha, so true, i've never think that

if you see shalisa James nowadays it makes 80s kids feel OLD

Initially, it was Aaron voicing Mitzi but allowing a younger singer-who matched Mitzi’s teenager persona, they were able to give her lead in a few songs and had her in more of the skits than before.

Aaron fechtter is a joke

(Is this a joke)

@@andreasgingeis not a joke

​@andreasginge it's awful to joke about someone's death. He was good pals with him, so I'm pretty sure it's not a joke otherwise he would've said so

Showbiz Nevada yeah just imagine

With Aaron Fechter in charge, it wasnt, believe me.

@@PeakPage22did you work for Aaron in the 80’s at CEI??

@@dannyboystartronicalpizzaw9692 no but seeing the questionable things he has done makes you wonder

@@PeakPage22maybe not as an “employee” but a band mate? All the musicians he’s worked with say that he was a blast in the studio.

@House Owner Oh what they're doing now?

@@plant5875 burt i dunno but he was in a video recently in 2019 with Aaron fechter and then, shalisa sloan James I forgot but she is doing well I wanna say, I don't know about the rest of the band tho

I can safely say that all cast members are still alive and well. Shalisa and Rick still come in to record audio for showtapes. Burt has recently returned as Fatz's voice actor. Duke has been posting cover songs on his youtube channel. All cast members had returned for a recent showtape on Aaron's channel.

Rip burt Wilson 2023

Woow that's so cool

Do you ever think back to those days? Especially as the year past?

that’s actually really cool

My older brother worked at a different pizza place. He said that the guy on the phone warned him that “…the animatronics do get a bit quirky here at night”. 😉

Good enough, but that Yamaha electric grand sounds so clear and amazing. That is the greatest instrument ever built in the history of the piano. I'm surprised people didn't continue to tour with it. Professional shows like McCartney and Springsteen and whoever can afford to move it. Those classic instruments were retired for purely practical purposes, not artistic. No modern electronic keyboard sounds nearly as good as this Yamaha, nor the Minimoog. Ok the DX-7 can do a good Rhodes sound, that one is OK. Back then when this Yamaha Electric grand would play, people's faces would light up and everyone would say "Gosh, that piano is just as clear as a bell." No one has ever said that since this piano was retired. When have you ever heard any band since then and admired the clear piano sound like you just did in this video? A real shame actually.

Piano "riff," not "rift."

@@TheLarryBrown I mean, we have very detailed samples of the Yamaha CP70b and other classic instruments now. I'm glad we have the means for that now.

he was ripping!!!

He sounds a lot like Alice cooper

Well, Aaron (Billy Bob Brockali, Looney Bird, Rolfe De Wolfe, Earl Schmerle & now Fatz Geronimo since Burt - aka Sal aka Bubba - Wilson, Fatz's long-standing performer, left the group) and Shalisa (who voices Mitzi Mozzarella), still on good terms with each other, would do it for fans who request songs for their characters to sing once Aaron & Shalisa could schedule a time to meet to record song vocals and have the fan requesting the song pay the hefty price tag it costs to have their chosen song played by the band. Likely the same is true for both Duke (who voices Dook LaRue, of course) & Rick Bailey (who voices Beach Bear). However, Bubba Wilson wants nothing to do with the RAE anymore due to being stiffed on payments after being told he'd be compensated for leaving the band he was already part of to perform Fatz as part of RAE, just for Aaron to only give him half of what was promised.

@@TherealRNOwwfpooh If you say so, but didn't he voice Fatz for several years, like over seven years?

Aaron is watching behind the screen 0)0 but he probably wanted everyone to refer to him as billy bob lol

I did, and I am bringing out those videos in my "Behind The Scenes" videos on my Premium Channel.

@@therockafire Did it happen? I'll subscribe.

@@therockafireIM SUBSCRIBING IMMEDIATELY!!!! Have you considered having a documentary similar to get back made with that footage?

Hahaha

Might be confusing Because Fatz is black and you would expect someone being of afro american heritage

@@freezingclockhands Actually, Fatz is a gorilla

@@seymourkrelborn4780 We know, he just has that afro american vibe, y'know

That’s racist

*Burt Sal Wilson not Sal Burton

No one can help you. The desire to change must come from within you.

I hope you're joking.

@@therockafire i Think he is saying he can't believe this enthusiastic, young man with a bright eyes and hopes turned into the the mean ol' Aaron we know today. I can't either.

the dude ain't mean

I've seen him get mad at people for making stuff up, related to him or what he does, but that's all I've seen, and I'd probably be pissed too

@SublimeHawk6 join dewmonic abyss discord and you will get into the depths of this

Stupid CEC fans

Tornadoboy rockafire is so much better tho like fr

Same

This *was* live.

How did he go crazy?

He had a breakdown. He's better now, but it was a really trough time for the man.

babysinclairfan When did he have a breakdown? He seems a lot better now...

babysinclairfan huh? When did this happen?

He kind of had all his eggs in one basket on the RAF. When his company lost the business from the Chuck e Cheese buyout, I imagine he went broke, and his heart broke. The RAF is like his child.

Electrical tech is the way of the future my guy

Yeah, I think Aaron based Earl off of Animal (obviously)

Yeah, like, everybody.

Channel that can’t publish videos Oof she was 12 at the time of this recording

He's just chill

Probably trying to keep that hat balanced☠️

Because they hired a scab drummer and stick Dook on guitar but he needed his money so he couldn't take himself for a walk right outta there.

Nothing to be ashamed of.
