Metallica — 'Breadfan'

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we'll provide the jams.

Why was Metallica so good at playing covers of '70s metal songs? Have you ever heard the name of the band that played "Breadfan" originally? Me neither. They were a Welsh metal band called Budgie, and while not bad, their rendition of their own song lacked the vitality Metallica's thrash cover pumped into it. But — and I may be entering the realm of metal heresy here — Metallica may have even played a radder version of "Sabbra Cadabra" than even the great Black Sabbath themselves. I feel dirty saying it, but man ... shit ROCKS!
