great stuff, I'm too young to know but surely this was some of the heaviest stuff of the era?to me they sound like a much more 'together' black sabbath, with better songs
My band decided were gonna cover this song as of yesterday. There faces when I showed them this song was priceless. Budgie might not be too well known especially here in the states amongst teenagers, but those of us who do know how awesome they are have one more legendary rock band that most people unfortunately never hear of
@flyinv1967 me too! before they went on stage ! they jammed in my cousins basement! i was too young to go to the gig. i was 13, but they set the tone for my lifes taste in Rock. they stillgive me butterflies ! stezyrezy

@gordondearlove This was a lil' bit before NWOBHM, more like in thie Black Sabbath, Zeppelin and Deep Purple era. But they certanly had a huge influence on NWOBHM.
@MrPopescuTheSecond Yes I knew, in fact think they had same producer as Sabbeth (Something like that) it was the acronym I didn't understand.(Since worked it out) Forgive me, I'm old !
@VAzeLiN555 Thumbs up if you've matured past the point of gay bashing and realize that homosexuality and extreme homophobia usually have a positive correlation!
I remember my last ever acid trip was listening to some music of the time, and was having a bad trip until some one put this on, first 2mins of this i felt better, but when it came to the quiet melodic part i swear it was like listening to an angel crying, so this song stays with me, Thank's Burke Shelley
why is everybody saying metallica's version sucks?? metallica did a great cover and they're playing that shit tight like a motherfucker!! try to make a good cover of a song like this and then say again that metallicas version is crap. Budgie fucking rules and so does Metallica!
Thanks Breadfan72, of course I'm just a common or garden male, Genevieve is my cat (she doesn't like Breadfan though!) But yes, I dig heaps of stuff; Nantucket Sleighride, Hocus Pocus and The Vanilla Queen come to mind. Keep on rockin'!
The most furious in-your-face track from this fine, intelligent first gen English heavy metal band. My mate Col played this to a friend at work, who after hearing 10 seconds of it, rushed out of the building, jumped in his car and sped to the record shop to order the album! This and "Bandolier" are undoubtedly their best two LPS, but I think the acoustic "Wondering What Everyone Knows" is my alltime fave Budgie song.
@BBPride92 This all started with a budgie fan running his mouth about Metallica' far superior version of this song. So I came here to repay the favor. Now budgie fans are crying. "Please stop making fun of our shitty band" I know enough about music to know this version sucks balls compared to Metallica. As I said below, THE FUCKING TRUTH!! Metallica made budgie more famous then their actual talent ever could. You're welcome budgie
I love that budgie could spend every dollar they ever earned, PLUS have creditors back them, PLUS have their fan base spread the word and still James Hetfield could wake up tomorrow morning, have his wife queef on a piece of paper that reads "Metallica concert tomorrow"...throw that piece of paper in the trash and still more people would show up for Metallica. Pathetic.
LOL!!! Budgie claim to be one of the first heavy metal bands!!! LOL!!! Yea, RIGHT!! 1971???? REALLY? See MC-5 from Detroit in 1965. England sucks at everything.
You're welcome "budgie" Metallica made you more famous then your actual talent ever could. Be proud. I love that EVERY budgie video on Youtube mentions Metallica and yet budgie is never mentioned on a Metallica vid.
This is like an Alvin and the Chipmunks version of Metallica's tongue in cheek LIVE concert opener.. Pathetic. Go to your Youtube search bar and type in "Budgie" NOTICE that "Breadfan" is the first result. Now, type in "Metallica".......Where's "Breadfan?"
If anything. Metallica advertised Budgie to the fans who never heard them before by covering this song...Take this info from someone who heard the Metallica version first.
@kanetpol31 That should be obvious. Anyway the metallica cover sucks imo. James Heitfield has a horrible voice. This guy is better I think. He reminds me of Rush.
@isthistakenohsadface That doesn't sound right. This song was written by James Hetfield and co-written by Marty Robbins. You're stupid if you think Budgie wrote this song. They covered the song, then claimed they wrote it just to cling on to Metallica' coattails. Get a clue.
@mikepants34 I really hope you're kidding. Budgie recorded "Breadfan" in 1973, appearing on the album "Never Turn Your Back on a Friend", of the same year. Metallica went to cover this song 15 years later, in 1988 on the album "Garage Inc.".
@StuffedGames If you wanna believe the lies of this talentless band, go right ahead, but those of us living in reality know Metallica wrote this song.
would you please go fuck yourself with 'Metallica' jesus fucking christ, both M and B are great bands and I really can't find any creative curse/swear on this stupid english language to suit you cause english is gay and you're gay and all one balkan idiot can say to you is JEBO VAM MALI ISUS MATER F PIZDU GLUPU or LITTLE JESUS FUCKS YOUR MOTHER RIGHT IN HER STUPID CUNT but sounds ten times better and ominous when said on zagorski jezik jeba vam sto bogof
How about everyone just shut the hell up about who is better between Budgie and Metallica and just agree that Budgie is better so we can all sit here and enjoy this genius music.
Comparing Budgie and Metallica is like trying to compare Apollo 13 to a Lamborghini Diablo. Sure, the car is slicker and more compressed power, but the Apollo 13 laid the fucking groundwork to modern technology. The car just aped it.
@ChristianU2ubeh Really?? A Metallica fan is going to have to correct this because these budgie fans KNOW NOTHING!! Badmotorfinger is a Soundgarden album. You're thinking of Bad Motor Scooter. Typical know nothing budgie fan. They're still really talented though guys.......NOT!
@ChristianU2ubeh Nice try, idiot! If the guy was really referencing Montrose he would've made his screen name "Badmotorscooter" NOT "Badmotorfinger" It was OBVIOUSLY a Soundgarden reference. Not a Montrose reference. When Soundgarden named the album "Badmotorfinger" they might have been referencing Montrose, but not the poster. IDIOT! LOL!
@ChristianU2ubeh Its actually a Soundgarden Reference which is a Montrose reference. But thanks dude! no ones really complimented my username before haha! rock on dude!!
@disturbedspike I dont care what his name is, his vocals suck in my opinion if you dont like it tough, no one told you to reply to my comment so take your hater ass else where punk
And I'll take the Budgie version, by far. Metallica are a good band but should stick to their own stuff. They can't improve on this; noone can because it's THE definitive version.
@MightyMightyJuggalo - nothing weak about Burke's vocals - did you ever see them live? - don't judge them by their records - Budgie were much better live than on record.
@NeilThompson30 No I didnt see them live...and in my opinion his vocals are weak and girly sounding. Sorry fellas if you dont agree with me but I really dont care. To be truthfully honest I'm not even that big of a fan of Metallica I'm just saying Metallica's version is way better. And I dont judge them by their records I judge them by what I hear and what I hear is rubbish
@MightyMightyJuggalo - every good rock singer sounds girly - Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Jon Anderson, Rob Halford and Geddy Lee come to mind - they don't sound like normal blokes do they?
@NeilThompson30 You bring up a good point valid point sir, my main point is I think the vocals in this is on the weak side. I'm not a big fan of James Hetfield or nothing and I think he's far from the best vocalist ever but he brings more aggression to the song then whats his or her name
@MightyMightyJuggalo - I know where you're coming from - theMetallica version is from an era where people are OBSESSED with production - this wasn't the case in the 70s - this is why I'm saying that you had to see Budgie live - if this was the case then nobody would dream of knocking Budgie. I saw them five times between 74 and 78 and they were incredible every time.
@MightyMightyJuggalo You don't appreciate the pioneers like Nazareth, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Elf, Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Lucifers Friend, Budgie, and Atomic Rooster. You're obviously a mainstream rock fan. To be a true fan of music you have to appreciate all pioneers for what they are and their influence. Metallica to me is an ok band but there influence??? seriously what good bands have Metallica influenced. Hmmm? Then look at the greats I mentioned and their influence.
@hermygagala Who the F' are you to tell me who I dont appreciate. For your information bucko I happen to be a big fan of Judas Priest, Painkiller and Electric eye are two of my favorite Priest songs next to Breaking the Law. Who the F' are you too tell me I dont appreciate the might Black Sabbath? I'll rock out to Dio Black Sabbath an Ozzy Black Sabbath so fuck you. Dont go making assumptions about people you never met before asshole. Fuck mainstream rock.
@hermygagala Continuing from my last post, I didnt claim to be a Metallica fan or any of the sort, I just happen to live this version better what is that a fuckin crime to like one version of a song better then the other? Like I said dont make assumptions about me when you dont know me. But for your information, my idea of metal is old trash metal. Antrhax, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, JUDAS PRIEST. Like I said dont tell me what I do or dont appreciate cause you dont know shit
@LiNaK37 So you came to the original artist's song to hear Metallica and then you bitch about the song that, without Budgie, Metallica wouldn't have even been able to make a good cover of? You're a fucking moron.
@LiNaK37 You're missing the point entirely, you illiterate dunce. The point is, don't disrespect an original just because you only like the cover because you're a fanboy. Personally, I like Metallica's cover more than this. Do you see my stumbling my way across YouTube, hating on Budgie like a douchebag? Not at all. So go fuck yourself.
@LiNaK37 I'm not getting mad or whining, I'm just insulting you and you're responding sarcastically to make me mad and make it seem like it's failing. You're doing terribly, by the way. If you appreciate music at all, and I assume you do if you listen to Metallica, then you can appreciate the hard work that Budgie put into their song. Maybe Metallica could have written this song, the point is they didn't and you should respect the fact that it's around to be covered.
@LiNaK37 One person's opinion doesn't design the template for what's bad and what isn't. To you, this is trash. To many others, it's fantastic. I'll stop arguing because I can clearly see you're thick-headed and close-minded and it's a waste of my time to try and convince you otherwise. But you don't deserve to have music if you can't respect it just because you don't like it. That's really just sad and very stupid of you.
Heard this on the Ceryss Matthews show on BBC6 yesterday, that is an absolutely amazing riff! I've got something new to hassle the guys at the guitar shop with now.

This is awesome...so 70s! Metallica's Version is good they didnt change much in it they just made it more define. Budgie's version had all the feeling though.
this band is fuckin sweet. so glad i found em.interesting now, that to find cool new bands, and innovative sounds in music you ave to go back to te classics.cuz innovation was a completely different story in music back then
Heh. Look at all the butthurt Metallica fans.

Straight up, I'll take Metallica's cover over this...their version is more aggressive..this is good too but Metallica's cover is a beast
MightyMightyJuggalo 8 months ago
@MightyMightyJuggalo Their cover was terrible and doesnt compare to what Budgie captured...ever.
disturbedspike 8 months ago
@disturbedspike I guess in your eyes it doesnt compare but in mine I'd much rather hear James vocals then whatever that is in Budgie
MightyMightyJuggalo 8 months ago
@MightyMightyJuggalo His name is Burke Shelley, and hes far superior than James. follow Meh-tallica trail of shit than by all means piss off.
disturbedspike 8 months ago
@disturbedspike I dont care what his name is, his vocals suck in my opinion if you dont like it tough, no one told you to reply to my comment so take your hater ass else where punk

@MightyMightyJuggalo
And I'll take the Budgie version, by far. Metallica are a good band but should stick to their own stuff. They can't improve on this; noone can because it's THE definitive version.

@MrHistorian123 I respect that, I just cant get into the vocals here thats my only beef with it..sounds weak
MightyMightyJuggalo 8 months ago
@MightyMightyJuggalo - nothing weak about Burke's vocals - did you ever see them live? - don't judge them by their records - Budgie were much better live than on record.
NeilThompson30 8 months ago
@NeilThompson30 No I didnt see them live...and in my opinion his vocals are weak and girly sounding. Sorry fellas if you dont agree with me but I really dont care. To be truthfully honest I'm not even that big of a fan of Metallica I'm just saying Metallica's version is way better. And I dont judge them by their records I judge them by what I hear and what I hear is rubbish
MightyMightyJuggalo 8 months ago
@MightyMightyJuggalo - every good rock singer sounds girly - Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Jon Anderson, Rob Halford and Geddy Lee come to mind - they don't sound like normal blokes do they?
NeilThompson30 8 months ago
@NeilThompson30 You bring up a good point valid point sir, my main point is I think the vocals in this is on the weak side. I'm not a big fan of James Hetfield or nothing and I think he's far from the best vocalist ever but he brings more aggression to the song then whats his or her name
MightyMightyJuggalo 8 months ago
@MightyMightyJuggalo - I know where you're coming from - theMetallica version is from an era where people are OBSESSED with production - this wasn't the case in the 70s - this is why I'm saying that you had to see Budgie live - if this was the case then nobody would dream of knocking Budgie. I saw them five times between 74 and 78 and they were incredible every time.

@MightyMightyJuggalo You don't appreciate the pioneers like Nazareth, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Elf, Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Lucifers Friend, Budgie, and Atomic Rooster. You're obviously a mainstream rock fan. To be a true fan of music you have to appreciate all pioneers for what they are and their influence. Metallica to me is an ok band but there influence??? seriously what good bands have Metallica influenced. Hmmm? Then look at the greats I mentioned and their influence.

@hermygagala Who the F' are you to tell me who I dont appreciate. For your information bucko I happen to be a big fan of Judas Priest, Painkiller and Electric eye are two of my favorite Priest songs next to Breaking the Law. Who the F' are you too tell me I dont appreciate the might Black Sabbath? I'll rock out to Dio Black Sabbath an Ozzy Black Sabbath so fuck you. Dont go making assumptions about people you never met before asshole. Fuck mainstream rock.

@hermygagala Continuing from my last post, I didnt claim to be a Metallica fan or any of the sort, I just happen to live this version better what is that a fuckin crime to like one version of a song better then the other? Like I said dont make assumptions about me when you dont know me. But for your information, my idea of metal is old trash metal. Antrhax, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, JUDAS PRIEST. Like I said dont tell me what I do or dont appreciate cause you dont know shit

@LiNaK37 So you came to the original artist's song to hear Metallica and then you bitch about the song that, without Budgie, Metallica wouldn't have even been able to make a good cover of? You're a fucking moron.
MidnightThrash 8 months ago
@MidnightThrash Pfft. Metallica could have made this shit without the original, think before you speak.
LiNaK37 8 months ago
@LiNaK37 You're missing the point entirely, you illiterate dunce. The point is, don't disrespect an original just because you only like the cover because you're a fanboy. Personally, I like Metallica's cover more than this. Do you see my stumbling my way across YouTube, hating on Budgie like a douchebag? Not at all. So go fuck yourself.
MidnightThrash 8 months ago
@MidnightThrash Pfft, I'm not a Metallica fanboy, no need to whine and get mad. You're the one missing the point :D
LiNaK37 8 months ago
@LiNaK37 I'm not getting mad or whining, I'm just insulting you and you're responding sarcastically to make me mad and make it seem like it's failing. You're doing terribly, by the way. If you appreciate music at all, and I assume you do if you listen to Metallica, then you can appreciate the hard work that Budgie put into their song. Maybe Metallica could have written this song, the point is they didn't and you should respect the fact that it's around to be covered.

@MidnightThrash Trash isn't something you respect.
LiNaK37 8 months ago
@LiNaK37 One person's opinion doesn't design the template for what's bad and what isn't. To you, this is trash. To many others, it's fantastic. I'll stop arguing because I can clearly see you're thick-headed and close-minded and it's a waste of my time to try and convince you otherwise. But you don't deserve to have music if you can't respect it just because you don't like it. That's really just sad and very stupid of you.
