This song, written and recorded by up and coming artist John Gold, is being performed and interpreted by the Rock-afire Explosion. The interpretation and opinions presented here are by Aaron Fechter and do not necessarily reflect John's views or opinions. John is presently working with Aaron and The Rock-afire Explosion to produce the official music video for this song, which will be posted on his web site when it is ready. So, you are looking at what might be called "The Director's Cut", and it may or may not resemble the final video John will release. Only he knows and we will soon. We thank him for letting us interpret this song our way and to post this interpretation for you to enjoy as another off-the-wall Rock-afire Explosion experience.

I see you've adopted the Cyberstar method of videos. ;)

@Flashkidgotsuspended Not at all!!! Cyberstar used costume characters in goofy unwatchable vidoes. I have never put a costumed character in my videos. You are usually a pretty sharp critic, but this time, you missed your mark. I will use more and more chroma key in my work, but then so does most video work of today. I feel that Cyberstar was a very cheezie production with very little inspiration.

@fanprograms I was only half-wrong there, Mr. Fechter! If you re-watch any SPP Cyberstar video, you will see that they ALSO chroma-key their set of RAE in most of those videos. And just to sharpen my blade again, you DID use a costumed Looney Bird for your "Looney Bird's Tips For The Hip" series on one of your NRAE showtapes. :)

@Flashkidgotsuspended Well, the video you are referring to where I danced in the Looney costume was made maybe 20 years ago? Maybe more? I am talking about videos that I have made since the Internet was invented and I have placed my work on YouTube.

@Flashkidgotsuspended I thought we were talking about my method of producing videos ebing similar to Cyberstar. And, I still insist that this video is so unlike anything Cyberstar ever offered to audiences, it's like saying Showbiz is much like Chuck E. Cheese (which I heard a thousand times) without even saying, by the way, they are very different in entertainment value, so I wouldn't say there is any accuracy to the statement, "I have "adopted the Cyberstar method".

[Flashkidgotsuspended]

@fanprograms I only meant it as a joke to make reference to the similarities on how SPP (or SPT) depicted videos of the RAE. By far, I think your editing techniques are a lot better. As for the accuracy of the statement, since I was meaning it as a joke, accuracy isn't of total relevance, wouldn't you agree?

Cheers

@Flashkidgotsuspended - No problem and no offense taken. I just wantd to express my opinion of your opinion lest someone who doesn't know will read your comments and think I'm copying something I am not.

For some reason I am now in the mood for pizza and pinball.

This is disturbing.

@fanprograms That was you in the Looney suit?! I'm surprised! I thought it was a professional mascot person! You were a good dancer!

[Flashkidgotsuspended]

@fanprograms In any matter, I was joking by that comment with no offense intended. Perhaps, I took it too far? I'm not pointing any disrespect at your work or your past-work as I greatly admire what you had going and what you're trying to bring back. I just thought it was kinda neat how you were producing these chroma-key videos and that they were similar (yet still different, and of course, much more advanced) than Cyberstar. If you misinterpreted the tone of my comment, I apologize (TBC)
