So, I'll repost both the Spanish and translated comment here: Aquí un fan de este hombre que habla español,y déjenme adivinar,lo cancelaron los progresistas pndjos de USA por algún chiste que a estos morritos les daña ?,seeee ,seguro eso es,la comunidad pendjista progre de USA es patética ,no saben hacer otra cosa mas que llorar por chistes que ellos consideran ofensivos cuando no lo son,que no pueden ver su propia vida y arreglan sus pedos mentales?,al menos así sabrían lo que es y que no es una mujer. Here is a fan of this man who speaks Spanish, and let me guess, he was canceled by the progressive pundjos of the USA because of some joke that hurts these noses?, seeee, sure that is, the progressive penjista community of the USA is pathetic, they don't know how to do anything else but cry for jokes that they consider offensive when they are not, who can't see their own life and fix their mental farts, at least then they would know what a woman is and isn't.

How do you buy an animatronic

As a 7 year old kid back in November 1971 watching this new show at WDW called Country Bear Jamboree, My love of animatronics began then and there. At the height of Showbiz and The RockAFire Explosion, I had graduated high school and was just trying to get by. I do remember the TV commercials, but never made it to one. Now I turn 60 soon and have re-discovered the magic that You created. I have been watching your videos almost nightly. I admire you and your craft and your passion. You've gained a new dedicated fan, all being an older one. So please don't ever stop doing what you do. Thank you for doing what you do.

Most of the designs for these artworks were sketched out by Billy Bob Irvin before Dave Thomas turned them into what they became. Billy Bob sketched the colander filled with Spaghetti, the history book, and all the historical scenes. As well as the easel that said “History of the Colander”.

I think you're right about that! Thank you for that memory! I know Billybob was a big inspiration for us all including Dave Thomas, but I had forgotten this.

Thank You!! Felix asks me everyday if there is a new video!! And he will get a history lesson as well when he gets home from school.

The virtual showbiz sounds like a great idea. I highly recommend using vr chat since it’s a highly populated online community. You could also team with Nintegdario who made a Chuck E. Cheese in vr chat that simulates the models and movements perfectly.

VR chat is the worst possibility for that I'll tell you four reasons Aaron's not going to prove of it because of the stuff in it also you can't make profits off of a free game as well as VR chat is a very crappy game sure it has a bunch of experiences a lot of people but in reality it's literally just a low poly Garry's mod The avatars are literally the most high quality things on there

I met you back in 2019 during a tour, and I have spoken to you many times when you were not busy. You are a fantastic person sir, and I appreciate you.

Aaron you and your creations are great don’t listen to the few people who dislike you because to many people like me your our idol

Hey Aaron! So good to see you posting! You are awesome! This art is so cool!! Was so hoping you might be coming up to Volo, IL to see the opening day of the Rockafire Explosion show up there June 1st!

Its great that you still have this piece of history also R.I.P Burt wilson who voiced my favorite chacter

Hello aaron i am a brazillian fan

I'm working on making my own colander

Thank you for shining more light on the colander head movement! I haven’t read much about it and this really helped cleared things up. Honestly, I don’t understand why Juno dedicated like half an hour of her video to insulting you and things you did over a decade ago, you aren’t the same person that she described in her video, and I truly hope that you didn’t let it get to you.

I am excited for rock afire explosion simulator i wonder if it will be on console 🤔

I have been interested in animatronics for about a year now and plan to get a rolfe dewolfe in the future and hopefully restore it back into working condition, can somebody tell me where I might possibly be able to get one?

I’ve always been interested to find out who was responsible for the standardisation of the classic frames, I know you had jack Gladdish working for you at some point early on too. Do you recall any of the engineers that would have had a hand in designing the frames themselves?

Howdy Aaron! Hope your having a great Day. Im the guy Who bought the mijjin Billy Bob mask to Finland, the mask is almost Here. And I am going to be a premium subscriber soon

When was the last time the country bear jubilee ran? I know it was restored a long time ago, but ive never seen them run.

Crazy to think that if you would have done all of this today it probably would have been all created digitally.

As a filipino i myself support you and build a pizzaria here in philippines i want to go to orlando and have a tour in your building and have some animatronic.🎉

Good video Aaron i cant wait for the rock afire simulation

Is the creative engineering museum still in the works? If so will these be on display in it. These seem like perfect pieces to frame and hang up. P.S I wrote this before watching the rest of the video so i didn't hear that the museum is still happening yet.

I believe showbiz pizza place or at least the new concept needs to be strongly centred around things that are going on and to keep people updated on them. Totally from an unbiased perspective allowing room for thought. Not too serious but jokingly and making sense within the show keeping it informative. Basically shouldn’t make people hate you but should inform them. It would kinda make the viewers feel like the rockafire are actually real living characters.

sadly i could not get a bookin for a tour when it stoped

Off topic question but Aaron, what was your reaction when Jack found the wide beak looney (1980-1982 or 3) mold in the hard luck bears mold section. And are you ever going make a mask and use it for your looney bird whenever your show gets back on stage?

You know that there are horror games based on your pizza place right? (And i love it)

10:45 to 11:43 I've had always considered the Rock-afire having 5 main creators which are Aaron, Burt 'Sal' Wilson (RIP), Dave A. Thomas (RIP), David 'Billy Bob Irving, and Bo Sherman. Both you and Sal for the music, the showmanship of the show, and the humor. Both Dave A. Thomas and David 'Billy Bob Irving for the art, look, and style of the show. And Bo Sherman for the mechanical design of the show. Heck would say Dave A. Thomas and David 'Billy Bob Irving are responsible for the CEI art style/look in general.

@therockafire

4 ай бұрын

That's alright if that's who you want to credit. But the three I mentioned are the ones whose contributions were necessary for the show to turn out the way it did. Everyone else's contributions were important but if they had not been at CEI, and someone else had done the jobs they did, the show would still have looked and sounded very much like it did. So, if you're going to credit Bo Sherman, you have to go back and credit Tim Inglis, Pat Smith, Kathy Norman, Rick Bailey, Duke Chapetta, Shalisa James, Greg King Alex Deazuaro, Larry Harmon, Alice Ann Doiron, Max Zorilla, and many others of equal or more important contributions. But my point here isn't to establish a list of everyone who ever worked for me and put them in order of importance.

​@@therockafire Sorry. I'm not trying to take away credit from anyone. I kinda just thought the RAE wouldn't be what it is without you, Burt, Dave, 'Billy Bob Irving, and Bo. I would however consider all the other CEI/RAE personnel (Rick, Duke, Shalisa, Kathy, Tim, Greg etc) just as important to the development of The RAE and help build on the foundation you, Burt, Dave, 'Billy Bob Irving, and Bo were still building upon. Sorry if I made you angry or anything like that.

I don't see how someone could even think that you're a terrible person, if they just looked back, they would see that you have been entertaining, and playing a huge role in the pioneering of the animatronic industry for decades, examples like the wolf pack 5 in the late 1970s, the Rock-afire Explosion in the 1980s, and the Mijjin show in the early 1990's.

Aaron where is the book you promised when you brought up the wolf pack five please release it 🙏

unrelated to anything, but i definitely feel your desire to only drive older cars. its a shame how un-user-friendly cars are now. there is a lot of time and money spent making sure cars cant be easily serviced by the average joe, or be repaired without extremely expensive, proprietary parts. worst of all, these new cars do genuinely have a ton about them that makes them significantly safer and better to drive. that inorder to take advantage of this safety, and these features, you have to give up your ability to own your own car, and to repair what you own, is a shame.

There are a lot of reasons I love my old cars. First, 2 of them are Honda Accords which are built to last many 100's of thousands of miles. I only put a couple of thousand miles a year on them. The insurance costs are extremely low, They're easy to fix. They have some body damage so if someone scratches them, it doesn't matter. There are some circuit boards, but, it's not at ridiculously fulll of hard to find chips and boards. And, at the top of the list, THEY'RE PAID FOR! I am not a slave to my car, and I'm hoping that someday, stepping out of a 50 year old Honda Accord will make people go OOOOOOoooooooo! LOL

Aaron keep doing what you are doing people don't realize that this is your life's work and you are very protective of it and you have every right to be don't listen to your haters they just don't understand you or your sense of humor lol we are very grateful for you God bless

@therockafire

4 ай бұрын

No. In 2012 when I created the "Eve Of Destruction" show, I was leaving the "family friendly" brand behind because the Rock-afire had no children fans anymore. All the fans were just young grown ups from the 80's, NO CHILDREN and none predicted. The past was the past. And now (in 2012) I set a new course for The Rock-afire. I would use them to express my feelings about life and politics and health. I would use them to discuss the issues of the day with my grown fans from the 80's. And I did. "Eve Of Destruction", "I Ain't Gay," "Sittin' Too Long","Poo On You". All adult oriented performances with a point and a purpose. And then something happened. FNAF. And all of a sudden I had children watching my shows. And I was like, OK. Let's go back to "family friendly". But I will NOT erase history. The adult shows will stand and they will stand the test of time. And that's how we got here. And the "racial slur" in "Eve of Destruction" was NOT a racial slur. No intent to hurt anyone's feelings were made. It was a poignant point that society was losing its mind over speech. And I was right. When the young people who have been poisoned with "woke" grow up you will know I was right. Now, can we go back to our family oriented goals of today or do you just want to fight and defame me?

No. You're right about that. Only people who misunderstand the "art" of the project or are "virtue signalling" or embroiled in "woke" confusion will criticize Earl's use of the "n" word. It was a brave thing to have done, but sometimes artists take daring risks and make brave decisions for the sake of the art. And, I researched it thoroughly in context to the time this was done (2012) and there's no reason for anyone to get their panties in a bunch. Just Google "John Lennon N Word" to understand the flexibility an artist has who is not racist to utilize the N Word in a masterpiece. I understand that a child may not understand this though or know the difference between the racist use of the word, and the non racist use of the word. They are being taught the word is "always racist" which is a mistake and the very point of the work, "Eve of Destruction". The virtue signaled reaction by racially guilted white people is to be expected. But, I'm not here to debate politics anymore since FNAF brought children to me. I'm here to share love.
