Greg Lindstrom: โ€ฆ and by 1973-74 we were playing mostly cover songs by less well known groups (at least at the time): โ€ฆ โ€˜โ€˜Breadfanโ€™ (Budgie), โ€ฆ (Psychedelic Baby Mag)

Budgie were one of the earliest heavy metal bands, and according to Garry Sharpe-Young they were a seminal influence to many acts of that scene, particularly the so-called NWOBHM, and later acts such as Metallica, recorded in 1987. The band has been noted as “among the heaviest metal of its day.”

The third album, Never Turn Your Back on a Friend (1973), contained “Breadfan”, which was covered by Metallica in 1987. Metallica released a cover of “Breadfan” in September 1988 as a B-side to their “Harvester of Sorrow” single.
