Exploring the Rules of Hell - Slipping Away


"Slipping Away" finds the band in groovy, hard rock territory. The song has a great feel and all of the performances are solid. While listening though I couldn't help but wonder what Bill Ward would have done on this track. It's the first time I really missed him and that's a testament to Vinny Appice.

It's a pretty forgettable tune until the solo section. Everything seems business as usual until Iommi starts trading off with Butler's fuzz bass! It's completely out of left field and awesome!

A fuzz bass solo!

Tomorrow the penultimate Mob Rules track "Falling off the Edge of the World"!
