Who could resist this late 80s-tastic set of haircuts?
Or this happy onstage atmosphere?

Last thing before I just shut up til my queue’s full, I promise.
No surprise, I’m way too interested in the hot 80s bad tournament going on right now (@/the-hottest-band-tournament), and I figured I probably have some followers who would be interested too!
There are 256 bands involved, and because I know my audience (I hope), links to first round polls for Warrant(here), Def Leppard(here), Skid Row(here), GnR(here), Mötley Crüe(here), and Anthrax(here).
Enjoy!

Dragon Ball Super 097
Live! At the Null Realm Fairgrounds! It’s the Tournament of Power!
80 warriors from across the multiverse slug it out! First prize: a super wish! Second prize: Death!
Plus, check out the 60′s Batmobile! On display at the fairgrounds!
And don’t forget Kids’ World, where you can meet Fred Flintstone and Spider-Man!
See KISS in a special live performance! It’s all here at the Null Realm Fairgrounds! Exit 103A off of I-69. Be there!
Okay, so we finally made it! We’re here! The part where Dragon Ball Super finally gets good. I would say “without any further ado”, but the Grand Minister makes a big entrance and insists on going over the rules one more time. So it takes about five minutes to get rolling, but this is it. The Tournament of power will start in this episode.
“Assembled gods and mortals, the Omni-Kings requested musical accompaniment for this auspicious occasion, and so we have provided it! You wanted the best, you got the best. The hottest band in the world! KISS!
youtube
I needed a gimmick for this thing, a way to raise the stakes, and this is it. While dozens of cartoon aliens and karate guys battle for their continued existence, I face a different challenge. Can I liveblog the entire Tournament of Power while also assembling a kickass playlist for the arc? A playlist made up entirely of KISS songs? I have a chemistry degree and a one million word fanfic that strongly suggests that I have no limits.
Anyway, the Grand Minister gives the signal and all these randos you’ve never heard of start fighting.
I remember during the buildup to thing in 2017, I wondered how Toei would even animate a battle royale like this. Sure, you can kind of do close-ups of just a few characters on the edge of the stage, but you have to zoom out sometime, and what happens then? Well, they solved this problem the same way Dragon Ball solves a lot of other problems: With explosions.
For the next several episodes, everybody who isn’t getting screen time in this show will be firing off huge ki blasts with little to no effect. And it’s glorious.
The Grand Zenos are blown away and we’re only a few seconds into this thing.
As for Team Universe 7, well, Gohan had a game plan, but he can only get half the team to follow it. Goku, Vegeta, 17, and 18 all rush off to fight, and Frieza decides he can’t pass up a chance to enjoy his one-day pass from hell.
From the bleachers, the gods wondered why they even bothered trying to prepare for this, which sort of proves my point about Episodes 68-96. A lot of those episodes focused on everyone talking about this tournament and preparing for it, but most of those preparations amount to nothing.
For example, there was a scene where Universe 3 showed off an enhanced fighter with special mechanical limbs designed for avoiding elimination and sweeping fighters out of the ring. But Hit wrecks that dude right off the bat.
Oh, and Basil too. Narirama doesn’t get eliminated in this episode, but it doesn’t really matter, since his whole game plan just got shot to hell. And it only took a few seconds of this episode to introduce the dude and then take him down. That other episode where he strutted his stuff was pointless.
Speaking of Basil, he manages to knock another fighter out of the ring. This is Ryelibeu, one of the few contestants who has wings and could fly under the unique conditions of the Tournament stage.
But she’s so overwhelmed by the fall that she forgets to use her wings, and so she tumbles down into the abyss until she’s suddenly teleported to the bleachers. Rumsshi is none too pleased about his team being the first to suffer an elimination, but Gowasu says there’s nothing they can do about it, which is the most Gowasu line ever. Seriously, why did he even bother fielding a team? I get the impression Gowasu would enjoy nonexistence.
At this point, the Grand Minister shows the Zenos how to use their GodPad devices to keep track of the ring-outs. Nearby, a guy in a Fred Flintstone costumes watches on as they mark off Rylibeu. Fred is eerily silent, as he isn’t supposed to say anything for this job. But if he were the real Fred Flintstone, he would surely be saying “Yabba Dabba Doo! That’s it for Rylibeu!”
Meanwhile, a bunch of guys try to gang up on Gohan’s squad, but they stand their ground and stay in this thing.
There’s not much to call here. It’s just absolute chaos. Goku really wants to pick up where he left off against Top, but other fighters keep getting in Goku’s way. When Top finally does fight back, some other guy attacks Top, so Goku’s going to have to accept the opponents that present themselves.
Goku catches a glimpse of Jiren, but before he can do anything about it, he gets grabbed by Nink, a big dope from Universe 4. Nink doesn’t seem to be long on smarts, so his plan is to drag Goku to the edge and eliminate himself and Goku at the same time. The spectators praise Nink for his smarts, as this is a great way to take out a team’s star player and gain an advantage, except, no. This is a terrible idea.
Case in point, Goku only seems to be in a pinch because he’s trying to conserve his strength. So when it looks like he’s doomed, he finally uses Super Saiyan Blue to escape, and Nink winds up eliminating himself for nothing. The problem with this sort of strategy is that U4 only has ten fighters on the board, so they can’t affort to waste them like this. Even if Nink’s plan had succeeded, that would only leave Universe 7 in a bad position. The other six teams would be just fine, and U4 would have to deal with them without Nink’s help. I don’t think that’s a bargain.
Also, U4 really had no idea what Goku was capable of, so they never stopped to consider if Goku could be eliminated this way. It’s a bad enough strategy when it’s guaranteed to succeed, but when it’s a gamble? It’s foolish.
But as Goku recovers from that near-defeat, he finds himself surrounded by Universe 9 fighters. Looks like they’ve decided Nink had the right idea, but this time they’re going to use more manpower to make it happen. What could possibly go wrong?
Meanwhile, Spider-Man is having a blast.

Round one
White Lion
Formed in: 1983
Genres: Hard rock, glam metal
Lineup: Miek Tramp- vocals, guitar
Vito Bratta- guitar
James LoMenzo- bass
Greg D’Angelo- drums

Fight to Survive (1985)
Pride (1987)

Lineup: Robert Plant – vocals, harmonica
Jimmy Page – guitars
John Paul Jones – bass, keyboards
John Bonham – drums, percussion
Albums from the 80s:
Coda (1982)
Propaganda: Squeezing in here with a technicality as they were still an active band for the majority of 1980, and the surviving members reunited in 1985 to play Live Aid. But really, what needs to be said? Robert Plant was the proverbial "golden god" up onstage with his shirt wide open, Jimmy Page unseated Eric Clapton to be the true guitar god, and Bonzo's drums pounded harder than thunder.

Propaganda: Though this lineup didn't get together until the tail end of the decade, it's proven to be their most successful and, despite splitting and reforming several times, their longest lasting. As for hot? They would perform entirely nude, save for socks covering their genitals.

Tim "Herb" Alexander – drums

Albums from the 80s:
The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 (1988)
Propaganda: They're not exactly like any other 80s band at the time. They're older, they're in their prime, and they're not bound by any contracts- they just want to record music and have fun together, and they have so much love and respect for each other, and you can feel it in the songs they make. (Plus, I think everyone's had a crush on at least one of them- I know I have.)
