Rock-afire Explosion Tribute by Ethan Long
Ойын-сауық
Super Fan Ethan Long gathered, edited and produced this interesting collage of moments in the life of The Rock-afire Explosion from its heyday of mass production to today's humble struggle to keep performing for you.
Пікірлер: 748
4 years ago, I made this tribute video using several archived clips and photos of the Rockafire Explosion, from it's creation on the assembly line, to its use in Showbiz Pizza restaurants and finally to its ongoing commitment to entertain thanks to the hard work and dedication to its creator. The song used is "Die Roboter" by Kraftwerk, which translates to "The Robots". After deciding whether or not to use the english version, I decided to use the original german version, which in hindsight may have been a mistake. There's been some confusion over the language the song is in. To clarify, it's mostly in german, however there is the line "Ya tvoi sluga, ya tvoi rabotnik" which is russian for "I'm your slave, I'm your worker". I really should've either used the english version, or added subtitles, as the lyrics are lost to people who aren't familiar with the song. It's basically sung by a robot voice declaring that "we are the robots", and that they have been programmed to do anything the user desires. I thought this would be fitting to put over images of an animatronic band, and that's how the video started. People have asked which version of the song I used, as this is not the studio version. This video uses a live performance from 2009. You can find it here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIWhta2ekszJitI.html And yes, the red eyes at the end were a slight nod to FNAF, since it was very popular at the time I made this video. Some people don't like that, but I was just trying to cater to the fans who are interested in both RAE and FNAF. Forgive my attempt to market the video. Special thanks to Aaron for liking my video enough to post it on the official Rockafire channel! Hope you guys continue to enjoy it for many years to come. ~ Ethan Long

When I watch this, I feel like I found a top secert video showing creative engineering's plan to take over the world with the robots and are planning to update the robots with new technology that they were developing and then the project was abandoned and never seen the lights of day. Heck that ending with the animatronics with the red glowing eyes makes me think that about FNAF.

There were a lot of sources for what was used in this video. Most were from old news reports and behind the scenes videos that are fairly easy to find on youtube. A good portion of the videos were featured in the documentary. It took 2 years of building up an archive of material before I even started making this, but I always wanted this song put to the Rock-afire.
