Black Sabbath


So, on the trivia page it reads:

"Black Sabbath's Mob Rules is not the same version that came out in 1981, on the LP of the same name. The song in the movie has original drummer Bill Ward; the LP has his replacement Vinny Appice."

Any proof to this?

reply

Listen to both versions, the difference is obvious.

Turns out it is Vinny that's playing!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13JqOsAshlg - at around 9.38, Vinny talks about it.

Can we say "case closed"?

I thought the soundtrack version was recorded in December 1980, Bill Ward left the band in August 1980, I do prefer the soundtrack version to "Mob Rules" over the album version.

Fascinating. I did not know that.

Turns out it is a different version, the album version is better though.

reply

I like the intro on the album, which I believe they play in the movie, but not on the soundtrack.

You mean E5150?

reply

I guess. It's an instrumental.
