Still amazing pieces of your legacy, Aaron. I could only imagine how amazing it was to see them in person. Nevermind being the creator and even the VOICE for some of them. I can only hope the legacy lives on forever and new generations get a chance to enjoy the RockAFire Explosion and even The Wolfpack 5. From the shows to the level of engineering for the time. I only wish I could've seen it all myself. Well done, Aaron. Well done.
Are you Juno? It looks like your main accomplishment was to bring more hatred into my life. Was this an accidental accomplishment? Do you really want to be the king of the haters club?
Aaron, I’m sure you’ve got thousands of comments like this but know you’ve brought joy to multiple generations with your characters. As someone who never got to see them in the Showbiz era, thank you for making my day brighter. I really needed it
10:47 The reason I think they have an issue with the confederate critters is that one of the main reasons the confederacy was formed was to go against the abolishment of slavery and to have an animatronic band basically praising the Confederacy isn’t exactly the best thing, but that’s just my take on things.
Where in my show did we praise slavery? You're wrong that the Confederacy was nothing more than fighting for slavery. We southerners really just wanted to kick some Yankee ass. We still do! If we had won, we would have abolished slavery and made all you yankees do all the work at low wages. LOL
@therockafire hi! As someone from the south, I'm really confused about how you believe the confedary was not just fighting for slavery and why you think they would have ended it? Do you have sources, or are you just believing what you're thinking?
@@therockafireI wasn’t saying the show itself was praising slavery, I was just saying the show kinda praises the confederacy which believed in slavery, that was all
The transphobia and blatant misunderstanding of video essays is.. so upsetting. Juno is not obsessed with you. Its really sad they dedicated time to share your story and you react terribly, and anyone correcting you, you just brush off. Guess its my last straw on supporting you, man :(
@@therockafireyour a like 70 year old man who made the most beatiful handsome animatronics ever (uncle klunk lol) and more you are amazing pls brush ppl like gooeater off they don't deserve you your the best aaron but pls don't listen to these people express how you really wanna say or react to something if they don't like it they leave a stupid comment and you reply witch is a nice way to brush it off you deserve much better I have over 1000 straws left for supporting you! And the straws before were still 1000 you will never dissapoint me your the absouloute best,you don't understand this gender stuff I this RUINED GENERATION it's ok I don't either when people leave comments like this and you respond "see ya" it makes me feel bad for you who cares if they don't support you anymore because I always will,and tons of others I think it's insane half of the comments are angry about you reacting terribly and their gender IGNORE EM you don't need em they are putya,downers I know you might not see this long story but I wanna write it so over people can see and understand your the best your comments on it,I agree with them,your the absouloute best engineer❤
alrighty aaron, it seems like you dont seem to comprehend whats going on here, and maybe you need a little guidance! first of all, this video isnt on your "life story", its about the band you made (and are quite frankly ruining). If it WAS about your life story, maybe it would have your name on it! 8:58 Is there any footage of your animatronic horse on the internet at all? And does it really matter if the horse was on screen? They put the footage of the moose and buffalo there because they were some of your earlier animatronics. 10:40 maybe people cringe at the fact that they are confederates because the confederates did some horrific things in history? You also act like 16 year olds dont have any "wisdom" or experience in life. Your are false here, because: One, if you paid a bit more attentions to things you would know Juno is 22 years old, And two, what do you have to prove that 16 year olds have no wisdom? 12:37 You literally have no evidence (except apparently that 16 year olds havent "lived a life" in this world, which is again false because Juno is 22) to prove that 16 year olds have no wisdom. You also point out that they never provide what their reaction is, yet you dont provide your own evidence to back up your ridiculous claims. Another thing you mention is them having an "error meltdown" for some reason? Honestly, looking at the things you do and say online, I think meltdown would be a good word to describe how you act to alot of things. Finally, i agree with you on the fact that the confederates are a big part of american history, but when an entire part of American history is a group of people who raped, killed, and enslaved people for their skin colour is brought up people shouldn't feel a little cringey? Portray your characters however you wish, but if you choose a subject with a relatively negative history, you don't have any reason to get mad when people find that part of history bad. Nobody is trying to tear history apart. 13:44 I don't know if you have children of your own (most likely not), but you don't get to judge if someone has bad parenting unless you have been a parent yourself. It isn't a serious documentary either, its meant to be a fun and relaxed approach to telling the story of YOUR own creation, so if swears and vulgar language are a part of it, it's completely ok. It is also ok for you to feel uncomfortable with vulgar language, but if you can't accept that someone uses swears in a documentary, why can't you accept that people will feel uncomfortable about your confederate band? 15:01 how are they supposed to appreciate southern humor by pronouncing a word correctly? Mispronouncing something or some name doesn't mean they don't appreciate southern humor. Once again, why is it wrong for them to not find an uncomfortable part of history uncomfortable, but it is also wrong for them to mispronounce a word? You keep contradicting your own claims here. 15:37 Because they are trying to tell a full story of the rock afire explosion, which is apparently your "life story". If they didn't include it, some important information would be missing. 17:50 Maybe you weren't like that then (the "my way or the highway" guy) but you definitely are now. 18:59 As a person who is sort of like that myself, You also need to realize that sometimes people wont be able to realize you actually are being funny. Along with this, some of these "funny" things you do are sort of offensive to certain groups and people. I don't know if you are actually being honest or are trying to sweep some of your past actions under the rug, but a part of comedy is knowing how your audience will react. Its funny to see how you react in amazement and offence to this video. why? when an apparent 16 year old calls you out on your bullshit (i cant wait for you to react to the end of their documentary) you just cant help yourself, and you absolutely HAVE to make a video proving them wrong. Please keep in my mind, Aaron, that some of what i've said here may be wrong, but if you can stand by your opinions strongly, I will stand by mine as well.
LOL! Sorry Juno's mom. Your daughter spent 9 months working on a documentary about my 50 year career with the intention of defaming me or collecting more haters or moving fans into the hater group. So, her cry for attention from me has been answered. You are so triggered! Take a Valium like moms from the 60's and settle down! Now that I have been informed that Juno is 22 but not 16, I have to say I am less impressed with her product. I'm guessing you raised her without a daddy. Is that right?
Mr. Fector (please forgive if that’s misspelled) I’ve noticed that you believe the word “they” is plural, now that is true i’d like to point out that the word they can also be used to refer to a singular individual in a gender neutral way. For example: “they had white hair, blue eyes and looked like they were roughly five foot eleven in hight” and that the possessive is Their “he ate Their lunch they had left in the fridge” i bring this up purely because you don’t seem to understand that when they say they, that they are only referring to them self in a gender neutral manner. That is all i wish to convey
OK..Here's the scoop. If you know the gender of the person you are talking about, you use the singular pronoun. If you don't know the gender, you can use "they" instead of "he or she" such as " Well, kids we have birthday guest here at Showbiz Pizza Place and I want to wish "him or her" a wonderful birthday". It's still a little uncomfortable to say "them" though. We struggled with this when making gender neutral Happy Birthday shows.
Aaron all I have to say is I grew up with the Rock-afire and truly care about your characters thanks for making them and helping me and my family make memories with them
@@therockafireI am in no way wanting to be rude, but the singular use of they has been around for over 600 years. I don’t want to be summon who argues about grammar, but I do love to discuss it. Take for example you don’t know someone’s gender “I saw someone eating some delicious Showbiz Pizza” “What toppings did they get?”
Dear Aaron no matter what anyone says you will always have that group of people that LOVE your content no matter what and will support you and love the thing you created some of the stuff people are saying to you is very out of hand and unethical just because you gave your own opinion doesn’t mean your being mean or rude I think some people need to grow up and learn that everything is not mean and rude it’s just what you think I hope you read this :D
aaron, i think juno is just worried about the connotations of confederate soldiers being portrayed in a SPECIFICALLY POSITIVE light. it’s ok to have confederate characters of course, just like it’s ok for donald duck to whack an animated nazi in the head with a mallet. of course we aren’t trying to erase history, it’s just that she thinks kids shouldn’t be looking up to characters portrayed as confederates, especially if they are easily confused with other beloved characters such as stonewall j. fox being confused for rolfe all the time. from a huge fan!!!! if you see this, sending a big virtual hug!
I understand. You know, I don't believe any of us thought, for one instant in 1977 that The Confederate Critter Band would even bring the concept of slavery into people's minds. It didn't in ours. Not for one single second. And if you look at all the Confederate merchandise, cartoons, and TV shows of the day, it also is not what the Confederacy topic was about. For us Southerners, it was all about the fact that "we" got our butts kicked by those Damn Yankees! And we want a rematch!! (Just joking kids!) You have to enjoy and learn about history including how things changed over time. So, slavery existed before we were born. In the 70's we were doing our part to end racism. We did a great job through our lives to end racism, Then, this generation comes along and stokes all the old hard feelings again with the help of our first mixed race President, relights all the fires of race hate and makes it immoral to laugh at the mistakes of the past because it hurts people's feelings. And the only way to make them feel better is "reparations"! LOL
I love your added commentary, the story about Mitzi (I can't think of her as anything but a Mouse! It also makes sense as to why her early voice was so high pitched!)... I understand your humor. Seriously! Text takes the context out of everthing. Ugh!
Not too hard. The lights really came on when someone showed me how to hook a 4-way valve to an air cylinder. Everything else just fell into place after that.
Mr Fechter i just wanted to say that im sorry for the people who berated you about you using the word “they”, people are asses nowadays with all of this gender stuff so id just like to say that i love your work and will always keep rockafire and all of my other favorite shows that you created in my heart!!
I love the Rock-Afire! Hope to see more updates on where your show is moved to, and everything else. I also make homemade animatronics of the characters!
Hey Aaron. There’s a chance you’ll read this, which is cool. I know you don’t like “woke” liberals or snowflakes. However, your creations have brought joy to many different kinds of people, many generations, those young and old. The Rock-afire Explosion has brought me so much joy. In fact, I am writing a research report about animatronics right now for school! I am a 17 year old transgender man- and while this may disqualify me from having an opinion, I still wanted to post this comment. It’s difficult to accept that many people nowadays, even my Gen Z peers, do not respect my identity. I live in Florida, just like you, and people HATE trans folk here. It’s okay to make a mistake about someone’s pronouns, but the disrespect I’ve seen from you and some of your fans breaks my heart. I can respect if someone has different beliefs than me… but it’s difficult for me to interact with your content when you use the official Rockafire account to post political content. Maybe this makes me a snowflake. Maybe I live in clown-world. I speak for all of your gay and transgender fans, Aaron: separate The Rockafire Explosion from this nonsense. Learn to respect people like Juno, a 22 year old trans person, who genuinely admire your work and your brilliance.
I have a simple rule as I always do: You be you and I'll be me. Don't tell me what i have to do to make you happy and i won't tell you what you have to do. Don't force me to use pronouns. Don't shove woke crap down my throat. don't make a hate video to defame me without expecting to get a reaction. Especially when it is on a subject that I am well versed on, politics. You guys, through Juno and your comments have dragged me into a political discussion on my video channel. So, you're going to get the truth. I respect everyone's opinions, but when you don't respect mine, you have crossed the line. I don't care who you love or who you marry or what kind of person, place or thing that you think you are. Just don't expect me to become a new person with your views. I don't hate trans folk. The ones who think I am supposed to grab a sign and march in their protest of Christians though will have to be disappointed. Don't expect me to share your views on abortion. Don't expect me to share your views on illegal immigration. Don't expect me to share your views on what a wonderful job Biden is doing or what a bad job Trump did. Just be you and leave me alone to enjoy my views. If you force me to stand up against you as this Juno has done, then you're going to have to hear my views. But, if you come in to my shop with your husband and the two of you want to kiss with tongues and feel each other up I will play a nice romantic song for you.
I feel for you dude. I think I left a comment like this once a long time ago on his channel that went unnoticed, but you and I definitely aren't the first people to try to appeal to him like this. the hard truth we have to accept is that no amount of appealing is gonna cause Aaron to be any less stubborn of a person. it's unfortunate, but I hope this doesn't discourage you from enjoying the rockafire as a work of art! as was kinda the thesis of my video lol. hope you have a good day :]
You mean Juno's vitrol and cringeworthy rants? I bet you have never spent one thin dime to support me. But, you are right, that you will never change common sense. You just can't do it. Normal people will accept you, but your unwillingness to accept normal people like me or anyone else who doesn't bend a knee to your demands will always infuriate you. I'm sorry that you are going to ruin your life with this approach and I will pray for you to get the help you need.
Why don't you take the inspiration I have given you and go create something worthwhile? Creating haters for me is your only talent. Do you hate everyone that doesn't think like you do? Good luck with that. There are far fewer haters than true fans. You have never supported me but just want everything from me for free and you want me to change my perceptions about life at my age so that you can feel validated.. You needed a good father figure in your life. I do not expect to change you. I am saying all of this to give support to the based young people out there who are bullied and abused by the woke mob who think they are so smart.
Dear Aaron, it's off topic, but as a 17-year-old young man, I really enjoy following your projects and what you've accomplished. And I have a question. What do you think about channels like ''theanimatronicwarehouse'' restoring and sharing TheRockafire group and keeping this spirit alive? I live in Turkey. I don't know how much information you have about Turkey, but we are a country suffering from huge economic difficulties. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to design animatronics like you designed and turn it into a hobby. For now I'm busy watching your content and understanding exactly how they work. If you are reading this, I would like to say again that I enjoy following your projects. Also, where can I access premium videos? I would be happy if you answer. Have a nice day. And I apologize for my English. I'm still trying to learn.
Aaron, I love your work I really hope to start working in animatronic industry. I plan on opening my own restaurant with animatronics based off of your show I’ll try not to copy your show but I want like it to be somewhat like a show like yours ☺️
Hello Aaron, I know maybe me and you probably don't have the same political views but also I dislike politics. I think politics is pretty rubbish. But one thing I just want to say is that one thing. I respect you for following your dream. I was very interested in learning about the history of your creations and many more. have a good day and always share peace and love. It can change the world.
Thank you. I do not reject my fans for having different political views. There's not one instance of that ever happening. And, I have always enjoyed it when a trans, gay, or lesbian fan visits me at Creative Engineering. Just because I don't personally allow anyone to force me to change who I am doesn't mean that I don't think you should be who you are. You Be You! And I'll be me. That's all it amounts to.
Which animatronic was the toughest to make? (This can be any animatronic you made not just in the Rockafire explosion). Also my favorite animatronic you made is defined Mitzi she’s super cute!
I agree that history should be talked about or at the very least not forgotten. I can understand why Juno was uncomfortable with the Confederate Critters but honestly unless they were sitting up on stage saying "SLAVERY IS GOOD!!!" every 2 minutes I really don't see a problem haha. The theme of the Confederate Critters band is kind of reminiscent to me of The Great Train Robbery by Charlie Chaplin, though to be fair I haven't seen any performances from the CC so I'm going on vibes only. I do think it is kind of interesting to see these groups of people who are generally considered to be on the wrong side of history just goofing around and have a fun time or doing crazy stunts. It's not an effort to say everything these groups ever did was The Most Morally Correct Thing In The World or anything, it's just having a little fun (and honestly it's better for keeping your show unique, too, since people tend to stray away from touching on these groups - that means you're not gonna end up with some Chuck E Cheese duplicate instead of a cool fox character. No hate to Mitzi though, she's one of my favorites in the RAE lol) edits made for clarification, sorry for the long comment
As they were reading the part about the character actor used alongside the CCS i got so excited! Somehow i had no idea this was done and i love it, i wish there was footage!
Younger believe it or not. There are just tens of thousands of you who haven't joined the haters. The haters, by the way, are not fans. They are trouble makers and are NOT fans of me or my work at all. They are fans only of themselves.
Hey Aaron, I remember taking your warehouse tour years ago with my red-headed little brother and parents, it looks like the place is empty now. How is the museum coming along? What will it all have? Are there any videos that explain the entire project?
Hi Aaron, Juno is 22 not 16 and goes by They/Them pronouns, not She/Her or He/Him. They are Non-Binary not a girl, I hope you can respect this, thank you.
@@therockafire Hey man you're the one basically reposting someone elses video for your own gain online, you should at least respect their identity as we do yours instead of being a jerk about it. They spent alot of time to put research into your brand and present an accurate history instead of the misinfo you see from FNAF fans jumping on bandwagons, you could atleast have the bare minimum of respect.
@@therockafireLooking forward to it. Does anyone have the license to re-release the original plushies? I bought the Ish Billy Bob and I'm ishing for more Rock-afire. 💥
Hey Aaron! I have a question!! :D How many Wolfpack five shows did y’all sell back in 1979? Or did y’all get any sells? And just to let you know, I LOVE Dingo. he’s my favorite character of the wolf pack 5! I can even sing the full song of “Dog-gone to love” ok hopefully you see this! Bye! :D
Hey Aaron it’s really nice seeing you react to your fan content and I love your content which had me wondering if you seen the five nights at Freddy’s movie that came out I also see you as a big inspiration and I’ve always wanted to open my own restaurant just like showbiz and I really appreciate your content.
I also think that that girl didn’t have to say in those words in this story that means a lot to you and your family and I also think that it does not have to be that serious with words and language all The time but sometimes I think we can control what we are saying and when we are saying it. Love from Sweden!❤️ it’s weird because often The things that I am scared of are usually things that I have a big hobby of like I am scared to fly airplanes and I fly flight simulator, roller coasters and I play coaster simulators and I am scared of animatronics, and I love them. That’s the thing with autism and ADHD that we have ways to think. Sorry for my bad English😅
Aaron I just got to say that I love your work I have loved animatronics ever since I was little I love your characters and I love how you create them especially Duke the idea to make an animatronic drummer that can actually play the drums is amazing Charles entertainment cheese couldn't touch you guys
ive always wondered myself where the name the rockafire explosion has came from. @@therockafire the rockafire explosion has been a iconic band for 45 years and needs to have a 45 year anniversary tour.
Hey Aaron! Thought I’d tell you about something interesting, the guitarist of my band has a Billy Bob guitar that has been made playable! I’ll try and get a good picture of it and send it to ya
Hello Aaron, this is totally unrelated to the video but, I have a question. Since it seems you are a Beatles fan since dingo starr being obviously Ringo, and the Rock Afire showtapes of the white album and such, I was wondering if you have listened to the newly released "Now and Then" single? if so, what are your thoughts?
Hey I love you work And the animatronics and your work but the part we’re you said to her to control her language didn’t you made earl the puppet say the n word in a showtape?
Yes, but you have to understand that sometimes the use of a bad word can be allowed in art or music or rhyme especially if it is not intended to hurt anyone's feelings. A really great example of "the n word" being used shamelessly by the world's greatest musician is here: ruclips.net/user/shortsz-bSQewAy0Y?si=OzoG7gzzL41YY36e It's time for common sense to reign supreme and fear to subside.
@@therockafire "Shamelessly" is is a bit of a stretch. The use of the n word, in the song that you have sent, is being used for shock value, he knows that the word is bad, and that's exactly why the word is used. It is used to make you think. It is being used to send a message on the treatment of women. Words are powerful, and in art, they are even more powerful, as they have the ability to influence many people.
Hey Aaron! I was just wondering will you ever make V2 animatronics for every character? Because I know V2 Mitzi is like 99% complete and you have plans to work on Dook but what about the other characters?
I heard you were noving buildings a while back. when you do, do you think you will have it be open for tours again? And if so, how soon? I'd love to be able to see it someday.
It depends. For private use, I'm all for it. For publication on RUclips, I'm against it generally but not always. I am always looking for the next great programmer to help me create content.
ok, by public use do you mean just on youtube or in the real world ? i dont have a rae animatronic, but im building one from steel. i dont know if its gonna be a rae character or my own thing, but if i choose to make it a rae character would it be allowed in the public eye, like in a corner at a resturant?
Dear Aaron Fector I am here to discuss some things with billy bobs wonderland I know you and the owner got into a fight but just think of it one of the last public rock-afire bands ever and we want kids to see the rock-afire just like my mom and dad did when they where a kid just think about it with if we get billy bobs wonderland show have you supplying them with parts then kids can see the show and be inspired. Sincerely Mason Fern
@@therockafire Well since the manager which disliked you is... gone, theres maybe a chance you can make up a new relationship with the new owners. (His son still runs some of the place, so i am not sure if the son is a nice guy.)
even though you have downs in life and people disagree with you i still think your work is amazing, even if i personally dont agree with in person views (after all the artist is not the art and i can respect a good artist even with different views than mine) i think that persons video was good and your own art, plus i have been obsessed with the rock afire explosion since i was 11, im 16 now so still young but i have always been fascinated by them (chuck e cheese too but they are not as good)
Hello Aaron! I just want to ask what do you think about Retromation, Retromation is a fan project that rooted from Rock afire Replay (the game the was sadly cancelled), and is currently trying to contain the legacy if both Rock-afire Replay, and Showbiz as a whole. (Theres also a Five Nights at Freddys varient of Rock-afire Replay, called Faz-anim, that uses engineering...ly accurate models) *BUT* its a private program for some reason (i think its bc one one the versions got leaked)
No, But I only did one experiment with it which exhausted me. And since then, I think it got hacked. I'm having to go back to eBay for simplicity for now.
After seeing this video I see that you are a very intelligent and knowledgeable fellow who doesn't play games, also what is your ebay so I can watch some of the listings?
Hey Aaron! I've watched the Documentary by Juno just like a day before you release your reaction to the documentary, Which was awesome timing LOL Reading the comments on this what seemed to be an apolitical and normal reaction to a documentary of your creations, I was surprised, honestly. When you have literally praised Juno for the effort and whatnot, people still got on your back. And seeing you respond to almost every comment regarding the topic, or just to say thank you to the great fans, I was wondering if the second part will get a lot more er.. Political ? If you know what I mean. I feared that the comments will get to you and cause the second part to be mostly about talking about the mess from the comments or something, making it an official beginning of some sort of drama instead of a Founder's reaction to a documentary by a young fan of the said founder, whose opinion of it is very interesting to me.
@@therockafire “Documentary” is a stretch. Two hour obsessive hate video is a more fitting title. She uses the same tactics that modern woke media uses to persuade their viewers: presenting biased hate and slander through apparently informational content, making their opinions appear as facts. Hard to beat, I’ll tell ya.
@@therockafire I don't believe Juno has spent 9 months or so on that video Just to defame you, honestly. But I see your point, as the audience of Juno has presented themselves as even less mature people, trying to change your ways despite the rights you have as a person to have your own ideas and sticking to them. I do recognize that she put a bad light on you in the documentary, having a specific way of telling people that you had a character say the n-word or something and taking it out of context, but if anything, I took it as a piece of information that provides me with a reason as to why you're such a controversial figure to some people. I didn't let a few minutes and specific tones from that video change my opinion of a guy who knows his rights, and I believe many true rock-afire fans who Did watch the video Juno made didn't let that happen either. I just hope they don't attack the girl as she is quite young Excuse my english at some parts I'm from eastern europe
@@Roger-ub4gh I feel her documentary may need a few corrections and the "horrible" things I have said can easily be shown as astute political opinions or just a defensive move to neutralize a hater. I have been told I don't need to do that, but I am actually having a little fun with this. I have accepted the fact that to be successful in this world, you have to collect a few haters. They yell very loudly and pretend their numbers are much higher than they are. They usually have no life and their entire lives are an obsessive "hate fest" against someone who has actually accomplished something and is still doing that against their wishes. I think it's weird that my haters claim to love my work but hate me. I can tell you, I would not love the work of someone I hated. I don't actually hate him, but I believe Roger Waters political positions are horrendous. I never listen to Pink Floyd anymore because I don't like him and can't get past his public statements. I used to love Pink Floyd. But I don't listen to Waters' songs and I don't write mean things to him. I just don't think about him at all except to demonstrate this principle.
@@therockafire I see. I'm glad to hear you're not actually exhausting yourself over the comments to continuosly defend yourself and your point. Now the saying that goes something along the lines of 'I love the art but hate the artist' sometimes depends on the context. It's like saying Hitler's paintings were horrible because of his actions, despite the paintings not looking that bad for his age. I'm sorry for not having anything else brought up but hitler, there's probably more examples but this is the only one i'm aware of that fits this context, Thank you Aaron for the clarification though.
Are you ok with people uploading RAE/CEI songs and music to RUclips? RAE songs are very good(i love Too Shy and your Free as a Bird cover) but its the only way to listen to those
I honestly don’t care how much hate Fechter gets… this man still is one of my top 3 idols. he deserves so much, sure… he may be a bit homophobic, but that doesn’t mean he is a bad human in general. Just because someone says a few things doesn’t make them a bad person. With that being said, thanks Aaron for getting me to love what you do and hopefully I can get a chance to someday create an animatronic band myself.
Dont get me wrong, im not homophobic… i dont care if someone is a part of that community… im just stating what i think… everyone has that option, right? And I cant support it bc of my religion and beliefs but that doesn’t mean someone hates or dislikes people in that community. Im sorry for anyone who took that offensive… thats not what im trying to do. So please no-one get mad, this stuff just kinda confuses me… im not trying to make anyone mad, im just saying what i think. And another thing, Aaron… keep doing what you’re doing… don’t let other people bring you down.
I am not homophobic. I feel much safer around gay guys than straight guys. Gay guys never want to start fights with me, attack me for no reason, and other problems with testosterone enraged, dumb straight guys who will follow you into the bathroom and start a fight with you if they think you looked at their girlfriend. I've never taken it badly when a gay guy told me I was cute. I've been able to have lots of great conversations with gay guys about our differences, politely decline advances, but thank them for the compliments. I feel very educated and understand why gay guys like men instead of women. Straight men who feel threatened by gay men are absolutely nuts. That's not me. Now, Islamaphobia...that's another thing. And if you're gay, you should be as afraid of Islam as I am. Would I ever travel to Iran? No. Did I personally go to Arab countries to install a Rock-afire? Not on your life! And if you're gay, you better not either! They'll use one bullet to kill us both!
Hey aaron. random question but, what was it like having your animatronics being turned into chuck e cheese characters? im talking about concept unification by the way.
I have been to pigeon forge many times but I have never heard of anything as much of a garbage mastetrpiece than the confederate critter band (that was not meant to be offensive to anyone).
Exactly what it was supposed to be. In the good ol' days (before woke) we used to poke fun at the past, at racism, at our differences, and at each other.
Wait, I’m confused. Why are people saying “they worked on this video”? I thought just Juno worked on the video. I’m genuinely confused. Was everyone part of the development, 22?
I don't know what development 22 is, but I'm not interested in throwing away everything I have learned in my life so that I can be a crusty old shitty Boomer who tries to virtue signal. Hell no! I would rather just be a crusty ol' shiotty Boomer who knows a woman when he sees one.
@@therockafireSorry, I misspoke. When I hear the word “they”, I think of it as plural. All of my life, I thought it meant to refer to multiple people. For example: Person 1: Where did Aaron, Billy, and Dave go? Person 2: THEY went to the bowling alley. I don’t understand why people are all of a sudden referring to “they” as a single person. That doesn’t make sense. When I said “development 22”, I was referencing when a commenter said “they are 22” Thinking that the commenter was talking about multiple people and not just Juno, I was curious if all of the alleged people developing this were 22.
hi! i'm the primary person who worked on this video (i did have minimal help from my partner, though!) when people say "they worked on this video" they're referring to me- i use they/them pronouns! hope this helps :]
You can be who you are. You can experiment with who you want to be. Most people don't find themselves until their 40's. You can change your mind. You can settle in. Just UBU and above all, make sure you are having fun.
I love your creations, the Rockafire explosion and all those other characters.and you inspired me to make my own (animatronics on my channel)and I’m also glad you didn’t constantly stuff a bunch of gay crap and political problems into our children’s minds like all the other companies are doing now. It’s too bad everyone’s complaining about it.
Still amazing pieces of your legacy, Aaron. I could only imagine how amazing it was to see them in person. Nevermind being the creator and even the VOICE for some of them. I can only hope the legacy lives on forever and new generations get a chance to enjoy the RockAFire Explosion and even The Wolfpack 5. From the shows to the level of engineering for the time. I only wish I could've seen it all myself. Well done, Aaron. Well done.
I'm glad to see that you do really enjoy this video. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous when I saw the title of this video.
Are you Juno? It looks like your main accomplishment was to bring more hatred into my life. Was this an accidental accomplishment? Do you really want to be the king of the haters club?
@@therockafirethat’s not Juno lol
@@therockafire I am not Juno no
Oh no how did they bring hate into your life that’s terrible @@therockafire
@@therockafire that seems like an overexageration, just a teen trying to make a video about you and the rock afire explosion history
Aaron, I’m sure you’ve got thousands of comments like this but know you’ve brought joy to multiple generations with your characters. As someone who never got to see them in the Showbiz era, thank you for making my day brighter. I really needed it
10:47 The reason I think they have an issue with the confederate critters is that one of the main reasons the confederacy was formed was to go against the abolishment of slavery and to have an animatronic band basically praising the Confederacy isn’t exactly the best thing, but that’s just my take on things.
Where in my show did we praise slavery? You're wrong that the Confederacy was nothing more than fighting for slavery. We southerners really just wanted to kick some Yankee ass. We still do! If we had won, we would have abolished slavery and made all you yankees do all the work at low wages. LOL
@therockafire hi! As someone from the south, I'm really confused about how you believe the confedary was not just fighting for slavery and why you think they would have ended it? Do you have sources, or are you just believing what you're thinking?
@@therockafireI wasn’t saying the show itself was praising slavery, I was just saying the show kinda praises the confederacy which believed in slavery, that was all
@@therockafire is this just another instance of you being funny?
The transphobia and blatant misunderstanding of video essays is.. so upsetting. Juno is not obsessed with you.
Its really sad they dedicated time to share your story and you react terribly, and anyone correcting you, you just brush off. Guess its my last straw on supporting you, man :(
See ya!
@@therockafireyour a like 70 year old man who made the most beatiful handsome animatronics ever (uncle klunk lol) and more you are amazing pls brush ppl like gooeater off they don't deserve you your the best aaron but pls don't listen to these people express how you really wanna say or react to something if they don't like it they leave a stupid comment and you reply witch is a nice way to brush it off you deserve much better I have over 1000 straws left for supporting you! And the straws before were still 1000 you will never dissapoint me your the absouloute best,you don't understand this gender stuff I this RUINED GENERATION it's ok I don't either when people leave comments like this and you respond "see ya" it makes me feel bad for you who cares if they don't support you anymore because I always will,and tons of others I think it's insane half of the comments are angry about you reacting terribly and their gender IGNORE EM you don't need em they are putya,downers I know you might not see this long story but I wanna write it so over people can see and understand your the best your comments on it,I agree with them,your the absouloute best engineer❤
@@SirMogwaiDaBearlin Bootlicking at its' finest, ladies and gentlemen. Just you wait until you grow up and learn to never meet your heroes.
alrighty aaron, it seems like you dont seem to comprehend whats going on here, and maybe you need a little guidance!
first of all, this video isnt on your "life story", its about the band you made (and are quite frankly ruining). If it WAS about your life story, maybe it would have your name on it!
8:58 Is there any footage of your animatronic horse on the internet at all? And does it really matter if the horse was on screen? They put the footage of the moose and buffalo there because they were some of your earlier animatronics.
10:40 maybe people cringe at the fact that they are confederates because the confederates did some horrific things in history? You also act like 16 year olds dont have any "wisdom" or experience in life. Your are false here, because: One, if you paid a bit more attentions to things you would know Juno is 22 years old, And two, what do you have to prove that 16 year olds have no wisdom?
12:37 You literally have no evidence (except apparently that 16 year olds havent "lived a life" in this world, which is again false because Juno is 22) to prove that 16 year olds have no wisdom. You also point out that they never provide what their reaction is, yet you dont provide your own evidence to back up your ridiculous claims. Another thing you mention is them having an "error meltdown" for some reason? Honestly, looking at the things you do and say online, I think meltdown would be a good word to describe how you act to alot of things. Finally, i agree with you on the fact that the confederates are a big part of american history, but when an entire part of American history is a group of people who raped, killed, and enslaved people for their skin colour is brought up people shouldn't feel a little cringey? Portray your characters however you wish, but if you choose a subject with a relatively negative history, you don't have any reason to get mad when people find that part of history bad. Nobody is trying to tear history apart.
13:44 I don't know if you have children of your own (most likely not), but you don't get to judge if someone has bad parenting unless you have been a parent yourself. It isn't a serious documentary either, its meant to be a fun and relaxed approach to telling the story of YOUR own creation, so if swears and vulgar language are a part of it, it's completely ok. It is also ok for you to feel uncomfortable with vulgar language, but if you can't accept that someone uses swears in a documentary, why can't you accept that people will feel uncomfortable about your confederate band?
15:01 how are they supposed to appreciate southern humor by pronouncing a word correctly? Mispronouncing something or some name doesn't mean they don't appreciate southern humor. Once again, why is it wrong for them to not find an uncomfortable part of history uncomfortable, but it is also wrong for them to mispronounce a word? You keep contradicting your own claims here.
15:37 Because they are trying to tell a full story of the rock afire explosion, which is apparently your "life story". If they didn't include it, some important information would be missing.
17:50 Maybe you weren't like that then (the "my way or the highway" guy) but you definitely are now.
18:59 As a person who is sort of like that myself, You also need to realize that sometimes people wont be able to realize you actually are being funny. Along with this, some of these "funny" things you do are sort of offensive to certain groups and people. I don't know if you are actually being honest or are trying to sweep some of your past actions under the rug, but a part of comedy is knowing how your audience will react.
Its funny to see how you react in amazement and offence to this video. why? when an apparent 16 year old calls you out on your bullshit (i cant wait for you to react to the end of their documentary) you just cant help yourself, and you absolutely HAVE to make a video proving them wrong.
Please keep in my mind, Aaron, that some of what i've said here may be wrong, but if you can stand by your opinions strongly, I will stand by mine as well.
LOL! Sorry Juno's mom. Your daughter spent 9 months working on a documentary about my 50 year career with the intention of defaming me or collecting more haters or moving fans into the hater group. So, her cry for attention from me has been answered. You are so triggered! Take a Valium like moms from the 60's and settle down! Now that I have been informed that Juno is 22 but not 16, I have to say I am less impressed with her product. I'm guessing you raised her without a daddy. Is that right?
This person needs the internet taken away from them
Mr. Fector (please forgive if that’s misspelled) I’ve noticed that you believe the word “they” is plural, now that is true i’d like to point out that the word they can also be used to refer to a singular individual in a gender neutral way. For example: “they had white hair, blue eyes and looked like they were roughly five foot eleven in hight” and that the possessive is Their “he ate Their lunch they had left in the fridge” i bring this up purely because you don’t seem to understand that when they say they, that they are only referring to them self in a gender neutral manner. That is all i wish to convey
I dont mean to offend in any way, i just wish to rectify a perceived misunderstanding
Talk to my English teacher about that. That's just another new definition of a word I do not adhere to. But, thanks for your opinion on that anyway.
@@therockafireokie dokie
OK..Here's the scoop. If you know the gender of the person you are talking about, you use the singular pronoun. If you don't know the gender, you can use "they" instead of "he or she" such as " Well, kids we have birthday guest here at Showbiz Pizza Place and I want to wish "him or her" a wonderful birthday". It's still a little uncomfortable to say "them" though. We struggled with this when making gender neutral Happy Birthday shows.
@@therockafire okie dokie I'll remember that
Aaron all I have to say is I grew up with the Rock-afire and truly care about your characters thanks for making them and helping me and my family make memories with them
I don't care if there politics or not, still a great channel.
seeing the building so empty makes me kinda sad... I was so looking forward paying for the tour :(
I should clarify that they are 22 years old-
They is plural. How many people worked on this video?
@@therockafireone named juno
@@therockafire Who cares, even the Care Bears don't care about this!
@therockafire this video is worked on by one person. Their name is juno. They are 22 years old, and they are not a she. They go be they/them.
@@therockafireI am in no way wanting to be rude, but the singular use of they has been around for over 600 years. I don’t want to be summon who argues about grammar, but I do love to discuss it. Take for example you don’t know someone’s gender
“I saw someone eating some delicious Showbiz Pizza”
“What toppings did they get?”
Dear Aaron no matter what anyone says you will always have that group of people that LOVE your content no matter what and will support you and love the thing you created some of the stuff people are saying to you is very out of hand and unethical just because you gave your own opinion doesn’t mean your being mean or rude I think some people need to grow up and learn that everything is not mean and rude it’s just what you think I hope you read this :D
aaron, i think juno is just worried about the connotations of confederate soldiers being portrayed in a SPECIFICALLY POSITIVE light. it’s ok to have confederate characters of course, just like it’s ok for donald duck to whack an animated nazi in the head with a mallet. of course we aren’t trying to erase history, it’s just that she thinks kids shouldn’t be looking up to characters portrayed as confederates, especially if they are easily confused with other beloved characters such as stonewall j. fox being confused for rolfe all the time.
from a huge fan!!!! if you see this, sending a big virtual hug!
I understand. You know, I don't believe any of us thought, for one instant in 1977 that The Confederate Critter Band would even bring the concept of slavery into people's minds. It didn't in ours. Not for one single second. And if you look at all the Confederate merchandise, cartoons, and TV shows of the day, it also is not what the Confederacy topic was about. For us Southerners, it was all about the fact that "we" got our butts kicked by those Damn Yankees! And we want a rematch!! (Just joking kids!) You have to enjoy and learn about history including how things changed over time. So, slavery existed before we were born. In the 70's we were doing our part to end racism. We did a great job through our lives to end racism, Then, this generation comes along and stokes all the old hard feelings again with the help of our first mixed race President, relights all the fires of race hate and makes it immoral to laugh at the mistakes of the past because it hurts people's feelings. And the only way to make them feel better is "reparations"! LOL
I love your added commentary, the story about Mitzi (I can't think of her as anything but a Mouse! It also makes sense as to why her early voice was so high pitched!)... I understand your humor. Seriously! Text takes the context out of everthing. Ugh!
The pong story is so cool! I gotta ask, how hard was it for you to learn to make animatronics? Or to work out making your first animatronic
Not too hard. The lights really came on when someone showed me how to hook a 4-way valve to an air cylinder. Everything else just fell into place after that.
@@therockafireawesome your the coolest!!! i collect animatronics animatronics are the best!!
@@therockafire are there any tips you could give to someone trying to figure out pneumatic power like that?
It's cool how everything comes full circle with Aaron buying pong, and Nolan creating pong with both creating animatronic robot shows in the future.
Mr Fechter i just wanted to say that im sorry for the people who berated you about you using the word “they”, people are asses nowadays with all of this gender stuff so id just like to say that i love your work and will always keep rockafire and all of my other favorite shows that you created in my heart!!
I love the Rock-Afire! Hope to see more updates on where your show is moved to, and everything else. I also make homemade animatronics of the characters!
pretty cool the inventor himself to react to other people talking about his work. great job aaron on your work! ❣❣
Hey Aaron. There’s a chance you’ll read this, which is cool. I know you don’t like “woke” liberals or snowflakes. However, your creations have brought joy to many different kinds of people, many generations, those young and old. The Rock-afire Explosion has brought me so much joy. In fact, I am writing a research report about animatronics right now for school! I am a 17 year old transgender man- and while this may disqualify me from having an opinion, I still wanted to post this comment. It’s difficult to accept that many people nowadays, even my Gen Z peers, do not respect my identity. I live in Florida, just like you, and people HATE trans folk here. It’s okay to make a mistake about someone’s pronouns, but the disrespect I’ve seen from you and some of your fans breaks my heart. I can respect if someone has different beliefs than me… but it’s difficult for me to interact with your content when you use the official Rockafire account to post political content. Maybe this makes me a snowflake. Maybe I live in clown-world. I speak for all of your gay and transgender fans, Aaron: separate The Rockafire Explosion from this nonsense. Learn to respect people like Juno, a 22 year old trans person, who genuinely admire your work and your brilliance.
I have a simple rule as I always do: You be you and I'll be me. Don't tell me what i have to do to make you happy and i won't tell you what you have to do. Don't force me to use pronouns. Don't shove woke crap down my throat. don't make a hate video to defame me without expecting to get a reaction. Especially when it is on a subject that I am well versed on, politics. You guys, through Juno and your comments have dragged me into a political discussion on my video channel. So, you're going to get the truth. I respect everyone's opinions, but when you don't respect mine, you have crossed the line. I don't care who you love or who you marry or what kind of person, place or thing that you think you are. Just don't expect me to become a new person with your views. I don't hate trans folk. The ones who think I am supposed to grab a sign and march in their protest of Christians though will have to be disappointed. Don't expect me to share your views on abortion. Don't expect me to share your views on illegal immigration. Don't expect me to share your views on what a wonderful job Biden is doing or what a bad job Trump did. Just be you and leave me alone to enjoy my views. If you force me to stand up against you as this Juno has done, then you're going to have to hear my views. But, if you come in to my shop with your husband and the two of you want to kiss with tongues and feel each other up I will play a nice romantic song for you.
I feel for you dude. I think I left a comment like this once a long time ago on his channel that went unnoticed, but you and I definitely aren't the first people to try to appeal to him like this. the hard truth we have to accept is that no amount of appealing is gonna cause Aaron to be any less stubborn of a person. it's unfortunate, but I hope this doesn't discourage you from enjoying the rockafire as a work of art! as was kinda the thesis of my video lol. hope you have a good day :]
You mean Juno's vitrol and cringeworthy rants? I bet you have never spent one thin dime to support me. But, you are right, that you will never change common sense. You just can't do it. Normal people will accept you, but your unwillingness to accept normal people like me or anyone else who doesn't bend a knee to your demands will always infuriate you. I'm sorry that you are going to ruin your life with this approach and I will pray for you to get the help you need.
Why don't you take the inspiration I have given you and go create something worthwhile? Creating haters for me is your only talent. Do you hate everyone that doesn't think like you do? Good luck with that. There are far fewer haters than true fans. You have never supported me but just want everything from me for free and you want me to change my perceptions about life at my age so that you can feel validated.. You needed a good father figure in your life. I do not expect to change you. I am saying all of this to give support to the based young people out there who are bullied and abused by the woke mob who think they are so smart.
@@therockafiresaying that their only talent is to “create haters” is honestly a little cruel and not true at all

Dear Aaron, it's off topic, but as a 17-year-old young man, I really enjoy following your projects and what you've accomplished. And I have a question. What do you think about channels like ''theanimatronicwarehouse'' restoring and sharing TheRockafire group and keeping this spirit alive? I live in Turkey. I don't know how much information you have about Turkey, but we are a country suffering from huge economic difficulties. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to design animatronics like you designed and turn it into a hobby. For now I'm busy watching your content and understanding exactly how they work. If you are reading this, I would like to say again that I enjoy following your projects. Also, where can I access premium videos? I would be happy if you answer. Have a nice day. And I apologize for my English. I'm still trying to learn.
Aaron, I love your work I really hope to start working in animatronic industry. I plan on opening my own restaurant with animatronics based off of your show I’ll try not to copy your show but I want like it to be somewhat like a show like yours ☺️
Hello Aaron, I know maybe me and you probably don't have the same political views but also I dislike politics. I think politics is pretty rubbish. But one thing I just want to say is that one thing. I respect you for following your dream. I was very interested in learning about the history of your creations and many more. have a good day and always share peace and love. It can change the world.
Thank you. I do not reject my fans for having different political views. There's not one instance of that ever happening. And, I have always enjoyed it when a trans, gay, or lesbian fan visits me at Creative Engineering. Just because I don't personally allow anyone to force me to change who I am doesn't mean that I don't think you should be who you are. You Be You! And I'll be me. That's all it amounts to.

I agree that history should be talked about or at the very least not forgotten. I can understand why Juno was uncomfortable with the Confederate Critters but honestly unless they were sitting up on stage saying "SLAVERY IS GOOD!!!" every 2 minutes I really don't see a problem haha. The theme of the Confederate Critters band is kind of reminiscent to me of The Great Train Robbery by Charlie Chaplin, though to be fair I haven't seen any performances from the CC so I'm going on vibes only. I do think it is kind of interesting to see these groups of people who are generally considered to be on the wrong side of history just goofing around and have a fun time or doing crazy stunts. It's not an effort to say everything these groups ever did was The Most Morally Correct Thing In The World or anything, it's just having a little fun (and honestly it's better for keeping your show unique, too, since people tend to stray away from touching on these groups - that means you're not gonna end up with some Chuck E Cheese duplicate instead of a cool fox character. No hate to Mitzi though, she's one of my favorites in the RAE lol)

Hey Aaron, this is a strange question, but do you think your fans generally consist of older or younger people?
Younger believe it or not. There are just tens of thousands of you who haven't joined the haters. The haters, by the way, are not fans. They are trouble makers and are NOT fans of me or my work at all. They are fans only of themselves.

I also think that that girl didn’t have to say in those words in this story that means a lot to you and your family and I also think that it does not have to be that serious with words and language all The time but sometimes I think we can control what we are saying and when we are saying it. Love from Sweden!❤️ it’s weird because often The things that I am scared of are usually things that I have a big hobby of like I am scared to fly airplanes and I fly flight simulator, roller coasters and I play coaster simulators and I am scared of animatronics, and I love them. That’s the thing with autism and ADHD that we have ways to think. Sorry for my bad English😅

Please send me a video of that. I'll put it on my Premium channel and send you the link.
Hello Aaron,
this is totally unrelated to the video but, I have a question. Since it seems you are a Beatles fan since dingo starr being obviously Ringo, and the Rock Afire showtapes of the white album and such, I was wondering if you have listened to the newly released "Now and Then" single? if so, what are your thoughts?
Yes. It was nice. Not epic but nice. It had to be done, but it's not like finding a lost song from 1964. Now that would be epic.
I love the rock afire so much. Their the best band ever and I have a huge Rae collection. Btw Dook is my favorite Rae character.

@@therockafireWhy did you sell the building? Was it too old or just too expensive to maintain ?
Do you think the Showbiz pizza Place the company ever reopen restraints since I know lots of people who are wondering this same question?
Aaron why did billy bobs wonderland still have a rockifire explosion and why did int not revive repairs in so long
Is the rock afire explosion 2.0 better then the original if it is/isn't, is it design-wise or movements/technology?
Hey Aaron, nowadays do you think you would be happier with little little queenie or Mitzi today apart of the rock afire explosion.
This video was fun to watch,I gotta say my favorite character’s gotta be Rolfe😀
Hey Aaron what happened to the Statue of Liberty animatronic cuz I'm very curious
Aaron may ask you a question?
Do you still have the beta masks of the rock afire? If you do, I would be interested to buy one,
0:37 OMG I HAVE THAT EXACT SAME SHIRT except in black
I know..you didn't realize I was holding comments. But your comment deserves to be posted twice!
Hey I love you work
And the animatronics and your work but the part we’re you said to her to control her language didn’t you made earl the puppet say the n word in a showtape?
Yes, but you have to understand that sometimes the use of a bad word can be allowed in art or music or rhyme especially if it is not intended to hurt anyone's feelings. A really great example of "the n word" being used shamelessly by the world's greatest musician is here: ruclips.net/user/shortsz-bSQewAy0Y?si=OzoG7gzzL41YY36e It's time for common sense to reign supreme and fear to subside.
@@therockafire "Shamelessly" is is a bit of a stretch. The use of the n word, in the song that you have sent, is being used for shock value, he knows that the word is bad, and that's exactly why the word is used. It is used to make you think. It is being used to send a message on the treatment of women.
Words are powerful, and in art, they are even more powerful, as they have the ability to influence many people.
@@therockafire oh ok now I understand
Has anybody ever tried to make an other showbiz pizza place using the original animatronics?
You have a lot to learn.
Hey Aaron! I was just wondering will you ever make V2 animatronics for every character? Because I know V2 Mitzi is like 99% complete and you have plans to work on Dook but what about the other characters?
Maybe. It depends on the success of my UCOJ invention.
@@therockafire I hope it works out so that we can see a V2 beach bear (he’s my favorite) and a even sillier Billy bob!
I am pretty sure aaron will make it that V2 Beach bear can stand up from his stump.
How can you make your own animatronics
I heard you were noving buildings a while back. when you do, do you think you will have it be open for tours again? And if so, how soon? I'd love to be able to see it someday.
yes
hey Aaron, what do you think about people programming thier own songs?
It depends. For private use, I'm all for it. For publication on RUclips, I'm against it generally but not always. I am always looking for the next great programmer to help me create content.
@@therockafire what about when people dont have a graybox and they have to use a bluespider or something else to do it and post it online?
ok, by public use do you mean just on youtube or in the real world ? i dont have a rae animatronic, but im building one from steel. i dont know if its gonna be a rae character or my own thing, but if i choose to make it a rae character would it be allowed in the public eye, like in a corner at a resturant?
Dear Aaron Fector I am here to discuss some things with billy bobs wonderland I know you and the owner got into a fight but just think of it one of the last public rock-afire bands ever and we want kids to see the rock-afire just like my mom and dad did when they where a kid just think about it with if we get billy bobs wonderland show have you supplying them with parts then kids can see the show and be inspired. Sincerely Mason Fern
That's a good idea. I think I'll pick up the phone and see if we can bury the hatchet! Thank you!
@@therockafire Your welcome!
@@therockafire Well since the manager which disliked you is... gone, theres maybe a chance you can make up a new relationship with the new owners. (His son still runs some of the place, so i am not sure if the son is a nice guy.)
@@ChiroTheSkunktrue
even though you have downs in life and people disagree with you i still think your work is amazing, even if i personally dont agree with in person views (after all the artist is not the art and i can respect a good artist even with different views than mine) i think that persons video was good and your own art, plus i have been obsessed with the rock afire explosion since i was 11, im 16 now so still young but i have always been fascinated by them (chuck e cheese too but they are not as good)
Thank you. You sound very mature.
@@therockafire and thank you for creating such cool characters and animatronics!
same age, same time? dude i met chuck e cheese back in 2014, i did know about showbiz pizza but i wasn't interested until i was 11.
Hello Aaron! I just want to ask what do you think about Retromation, Retromation is a fan project that rooted from Rock afire Replay (the game the was sadly cancelled), and is currently trying to contain the legacy if both Rock-afire Replay, and Showbiz as a whole.
(Theres also a Five Nights at Freddys varient of Rock-afire Replay, called Faz-anim, that uses engineering...ly accurate models) *BUT* its a private program for some reason (i think its bc one one the versions got leaked)
I don't know anything about these projects.
@@therockafireYou know about Rockafire Remake tho
@@therockafireoh, well it's a cool game, it contains the main Rock afire, New Rock afire, Chuck e Cheese, Wolf Pack 5, and a couple more
hey Aaron, did you take down your auctions website ?
No, But I only did one experiment with it which exhausted me. And since then, I think it got hacked. I'm having to go back to eBay for simplicity for now.
also, what characters are gonna be in the museum ?
I am very intrested that we got more information including the guy's name who changed queenie.
After seeing this video I see that you are a very intelligent and knowledgeable fellow who doesn't play games, also what is your ebay so I can watch some of the listings?
creativeng
I really like your videos.
So are you done working on animatronics ?
Not at present. I'm too busy moving.
@therockafire I haven't kept up with what has been happening. Do you have to move, or do you want to?
Hey Aaron! I've watched the Documentary by Juno just like a day before you release your reaction to the documentary, Which was awesome timing LOL
Reading the comments on this what seemed to be an apolitical and normal reaction to a documentary of your creations, I was surprised, honestly.
When you have literally praised Juno for the effort and whatnot, people still got on your back. And seeing you respond to almost every comment regarding the topic,
or just to say thank you to the great fans, I was wondering if the second part will get a lot more er.. Political ? If you know what I mean. I feared that the comments will get to you and cause the second part to be mostly about talking about the mess from the comments or something, making it an official beginning of some sort of drama instead of a Founder's reaction to a documentary by a young fan of the said founder, whose opinion of it is very interesting to me.
What do you think was the real purpose of Juno's documentary?
@@therockafire “Documentary” is a stretch. Two hour obsessive hate video is a more fitting title. She uses the same tactics that modern woke media uses to persuade their viewers: presenting biased hate and slander through apparently informational content, making their opinions appear as facts. Hard to beat, I’ll tell ya.
@@therockafire I don't believe Juno has spent 9 months or so on that video Just to defame you, honestly. But I see your point, as the audience of Juno has presented themselves as even less mature people, trying to change your ways despite the rights you have as a person to have your own ideas and sticking to them. I do recognize that she put a bad light on you in the documentary, having a specific way of telling people that you had a character say the n-word or something and taking it out of context, but if anything, I took it as a piece of information that provides me with a reason as to why you're such a controversial figure to some people. I didn't let a few minutes and specific tones from that video change my opinion of a guy who knows his rights, and I believe many true rock-afire fans who Did watch the video Juno made didn't let that happen either. I just hope they don't attack the girl as she is quite young
Excuse my english at some parts I'm from eastern europe
@@Roger-ub4gh I feel her documentary may need a few corrections and the "horrible" things I have said can easily be shown as astute political opinions or just a defensive move to neutralize a hater. I have been told I don't need to do that, but I am actually having a little fun with this. I have accepted the fact that to be successful in this world, you have to collect a few haters. They yell very loudly and pretend their numbers are much higher than they are. They usually have no life and their entire lives are an obsessive "hate fest" against someone who has actually accomplished something and is still doing that against their wishes. I think it's weird that my haters claim to love my work but hate me. I can tell you, I would not love the work of someone I hated. I don't actually hate him, but I believe Roger Waters political positions are horrendous. I never listen to Pink Floyd anymore because I don't like him and can't get past his public statements. I used to love Pink Floyd. But I don't listen to Waters' songs and I don't write mean things to him. I just don't think about him at all except to demonstrate this principle.
@@therockafire I see. I'm glad to hear you're not actually exhausting yourself over the comments to continuosly defend yourself and your point. Now the saying that goes something along the lines of 'I love the art but hate the artist' sometimes depends on the context. It's like saying Hitler's paintings were horrible because of his actions, despite the paintings not looking that bad for his age. I'm sorry for not having anything else brought up but hitler, there's probably more examples but this is the only one i'm aware of that fits this context, Thank you Aaron for the clarification though.
Do you have any more billy bob dolls
Because I'll by one
Yes. creativeng on eBay
Could you send a link plz
Oh and by the way I mean like the prototype 4 doll from 6 or 7 years ago I think
I subed btw
Are you ok with people uploading RAE/CEI songs and music to RUclips? RAE songs are very good(i love Too Shy and your Free as a Bird cover) but its the only way to listen to those
I honestly don’t care how much hate Fechter gets… this man still is one of my top 3 idols. he deserves so much, sure… he may be a bit homophobic, but that doesn’t mean he is a bad human in general. Just because someone says a few things doesn’t make them a bad person. With that being said, thanks Aaron for getting me to love what you do and hopefully I can get a chance to someday create an animatronic band myself.
Dont get me wrong, im not homophobic… i dont care if someone is a part of that community… im just stating what i think… everyone has that option, right? And I cant support it bc of my religion and beliefs but that doesn’t mean someone hates or dislikes people in that community. Im sorry for anyone who took that offensive… thats not what im trying to do. So please no-one get mad, this stuff just kinda confuses me… im not trying to make anyone mad, im just saying what i think. And another thing, Aaron… keep doing what you’re doing… don’t let other people bring you down.
I am not homophobic. I feel much safer around gay guys than straight guys. Gay guys never want to start fights with me, attack me for no reason, and other problems with testosterone enraged, dumb straight guys who will follow you into the bathroom and start a fight with you if they think you looked at their girlfriend. I've never taken it badly when a gay guy told me I was cute. I've been able to have lots of great conversations with gay guys about our differences, politely decline advances, but thank them for the compliments. I feel very educated and understand why gay guys like men instead of women. Straight men who feel threatened by gay men are absolutely nuts. That's not me. Now, Islamaphobia...that's another thing. And if you're gay, you should be as afraid of Islam as I am. Would I ever travel to Iran? No. Did I personally go to Arab countries to install a Rock-afire? Not on your life! And if you're gay, you better not either! They'll use one bullet to kill us both!
Who said he was homophobic? Just because you don't agree with using a pronoun: that makes you homophobic now? People are really wacky these days.
@@ToolShopGuy i agree with you… im just trying to not upset anyone so i kinda worded that carefully. But yeah… ur right
Hey aaron. random question but, what was it like having your animatronics being turned into chuck e cheese characters? im talking about concept unification by the way.
sucked
@@therockafirecouldn't you sue them for using CEI mechs?
Hey Aaron, do you have any behind-the-scenes RAE showtape recording videos or audios?
Yes. I will be putting them up on the Premium Channel
That sucks that he lost the building... that was the home of the rockafire for so long and its sad to see it go
I love The Rock-afire Explosion!
how you doing Aron
I have been to pigeon forge many times but I have never heard of anything as much of a garbage mastetrpiece than the confederate critter band (that was not meant to be offensive to anyone).
Your opinion is fine with me.
@@therockafire I did not intend that to be mean I think its goofy but it just works so well for tennessee.
Exactly what it was supposed to be. In the good ol' days (before woke) we used to poke fun at the past, at racism, at our differences, and at each other.
Wait, I’m confused. Why are people saying “they worked on this video”? I thought just Juno worked on the video. I’m genuinely confused. Was everyone part of the development, 22?
Juno goes by they/them pronouns.
I don't know what development 22 is, but I'm not interested in throwing away everything I have learned in my life so that I can be a crusty old shitty Boomer who tries to virtue signal. Hell no! I would rather just be a crusty ol' shiotty Boomer who knows a woman when he sees one.
@@therockafireSorry, I misspoke. When I hear the word “they”, I think of it as plural. All of my life, I thought it meant to refer to multiple people. For example: Person 1: Where did Aaron, Billy, and Dave go?
Person 2: THEY went to the bowling alley.
I don’t understand why people are all of a sudden referring to “they” as a single person. That doesn’t make sense. When I said “development 22”, I was referencing when a commenter said “they are 22” Thinking that the commenter was talking about multiple people and not just Juno, I was curious if all of the alleged people developing this were 22.
hi! i'm the primary person who worked on this video (i did have minimal help from my partner, though!) when people say "they worked on this video" they're referring to me- i use they/them pronouns! hope this helps :]
Im on the one hand Pansexual and LOVE THE OWL HOUSE but on the other hand im a die hard animatronic fan hmmmmmmm
You can be who you are. You can experiment with who you want to be. Most people don't find themselves until their 40's. You can change your mind. You can settle in. Just UBU and above all, make sure you are having fun.
@@therockafire I was joking but I didn't know you would reply
I miss melted moose
I love your creations, the Rockafire explosion and all those other characters.and you inspired me to make my own (animatronics on my channel)and I’m also glad you didn’t constantly stuff a bunch of gay crap and political problems into our children’s minds like all the other companies are doing now. It’s too bad everyone’s complaining about it.
what do you think about people using ai to make songs you havent covered yet?
I plan to do a video on that topic soon.
ok! cant wait to see it! is it on your premium or does evrybody get to see it ?
Hey Aaron, have you watched the fnaf movie? I want to know your opinion on it :)
Not yet. I'll be watching for different things than the average person. I'll be watching with the question, "Why do people like this>?"
Oooooooh Dingo Starr….. Like the parody of Ringo Starr from the Beatles clever!
Love your videos. Can’t wait to see what’s next ❤.
i really wish the showbiz in Australia wasn't gone i don't think anyone has found what happened to the rock afire explosion that was there
Where is the new building at?
Undisclosed location
i like your roof chair
How many parts will this reaction have?
As many as it takes. And as long as it takes. I am in no hurry.
@@therockafirethanks and i cant wait for part 2!
i was born in micghan!
How many robots did you find/move
