Not the look most Judas Priest fans are used to, but this early Priest video rules as do their early albums (Rocka Rolla, Sad Wings of Destiny and Sin After Sin).

Rock-afire Explosion

The Rock-afire Explosion documentary.

“The Rock-afire Explosion” is the story of a small-town disc-jockey, a struggling inventor, and an animatronic rock band, that quickly becomes an eccentric portrait of childhood memories, broken dreams, and the resilience of the human spirit.

With the closing of Showbiz Pizza Place in the early nineties, and the subsequent removal of the Rock-afire Explosion, a small but determined group of fans persisted with the hopes of reviving their fallen obsession. It wasn’t until 2007, with the resurgence of the Rock-afire Explosion on YouTube with songs like “Ms New Booty,” “Hey There Delilah,” and “Love in This Club,” that the animatronic band found its way back into the public consciousness. Chris Thrash, a car salesman from Phenix City, Alabama who recently purchased a Rock-afire Explosion, has led the charge with his inventive programming and clever song choice. Aaron Fechter, creator of the Rock-afire Explosion and sole employee of Creative Engineering Inc., has worked closely with his fans and in conjunction with his starsof.com website with the hopes of revitalizing what was once a 300 employee, 20 million dollar per-year industry.

Here’s a sample of it at work today:

There’s a nine part Hawkwind documentary on YouTube.
I haven’t watched it all, but how can it be bad?

As Lemmy explained Hawkwind, it’s “like Star Trek with long hair and drugs.”

Here’s the nine part playlist and part one below.
