Budgie...Breadfan
Вставка

- This song is called Breadfan by the band Budgie. Budgie are not technically considered NWOBHM but what they hell, they deserve the recognition. They are a great band. You can hear Metallica cover this songs on many live bootlegs and Garage Inc.
This is one of those songs you listen to while driving and then you look down and realize you're going 98 mph and you didn't even know it.
That's right, so Step on It!
in germany there are roads where you can ride harder than that! In the netherlands we ride 80-81mph most of the time.
ShagStars Productions, I often do that here in the USA even though I'm not supposed to :-)
You realized it when the acoustic part comes in.
yep, it's definitely a UK 90-100 mph+ song. Well spotted.
R.I.P Burke Shelley.
Very Underrated bassist in a very underrated band.
Burke Shelley... you will live forever in my soundsistem!!!
Long live the Kings
When both soundgarden and Metallica cover you. You did something right
Soundgarden did this where I need
You mean Red Hot Chillies Peppers right?
@@troubled_envy Red Hot never covered Budgie.
@@vampsmokey Everybody knows about homicidal suicidal
Great, heavy band.... 🖖🤘
This band never got the credit they deserved. I saw them on their first American tour . They kicked ass. It was in Austin, Texas in 1977 at the amarillo world headquarters. Rock on budgie.
Jeez mate! Kudos!
Thank god they'll get more recognition thanks to Brutal Legend.
Luke Wells everyone knows budgie are lords of rock!
Luke Wells
These guys were always popular in TX. I had a friend who worked at a stereo/record store. Very traditional place only carried jazz and classical albums. He would order albums by Budgie and Gentle Giant and early Genesis. I think he was the only one who knew what the music was like.
I Got to see these in a local pub in Witney Oxfordshire back in the 70s
If Geddy Lee was Motorhead's singer.
SlayerRock4ever lol hell yeah
but he,s not..........
+Alex Gillespie Well, thank you Captain Obvious for that startling revelation!
+SlayerRock4ever LOL!
+SlayerRock4ever Funny 'cause Rush's first album sounded very metal. lol
All hail Brutal Legend for opening the world of metal to tons of people!
Tony Bourge is one of the most unappreciated guitarists in Metal history! That guy fucking kicks ASS!
Man was a fucking legend my dude
@Funky Tunk dignity
To my untrained ears he sounds a bit like Jan Akkerman (Focus) who was considered as one of the greatest guitar players at that period. I might be wrong still a nice compliment I guess.
he really is and by the look on his face he knows his value. too bad the rest of the world didn't catch on.
It's been 5 years since you posted this comment and today is the first time that this 54 year old man has ever heard this. Thank you for giving the guys name. I totally agree with you. This song is right up there with Deep Purple
First live band I ever saw - aged 13 at the Albany Hotel in Nottingham! Awesome! Support band was...Judas Priest!
Any band that had The Priest as a support band is awesome.
Tony Wells me too aged 16 at the County Ground Northampton. Judas Priest supporting.
And I'd say judas priest climbed to greater heights just shows
That must have been an amazing concert to see.
Those were the days of Heavy Rock,.
The calm part in the middle of the song is the most soothing piece of music I’ve ever heard.
I came here to type this comment and then I found you had already captured my thoughts. Such a great atmospheric styled riff.
Budgie was the real deal.
@@jbscornerstore you gotta listen to rolling home again - budgie a great slow soft song, one of my favs from the band
Has very late Led Zeppelin vibes
Brings me back to 1972😅great music was starting to hit 😂🎉❤ these guys. It was just a part of the Creech & Chong great times days, man, these guys on eight tracks, man. Oh man 😊😂😅😊❤
R.I.P Burke Shelley, thank you for the music, it’s sad Budgie never made it big
Budgie and Blue Cheer are the unsung heroes of proto-metal. I love em both!
Every hard rock and metal bassist that plays with a pick should strive to sound like this.
This is such an epic riff.
I'm glad Metallica covered this. If they hadn't, I'd never have been inspired to seek out the original recording.
Me too!
Same
I Only ever knew the original
Saw these guy's back in the 70s
ua-cam.com/video/xQCNLwDXGyM/v-deo.html
yeah metallica brought me here too
This is one of the greatest albums of all time, and should give Budgie a well-deserved place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Totally agree from someone who saw them live
..and I have this album. The first I bought as a gift for my late hubby
RIP Burke Shelley 1950-2022
Wow, I first heard this song ages ago in Rock & Roll Racing for the SNES. Back in those days I didn't listen to metal but this riff got me. Thanks to Brutal Legend, now I've got it. Glory.
Went to see Budgie live at the Cardiff Castle one-dayer in 1976. Also on were Strawbs, Curved Air, Hawkwind and Status Quo headlining. Budgie as you can imagine blew them all away. Cymru am Byth. (Wales forever in Welsh)
pp
I remember seeing these guys in The Cross Keys pub in Peebles must have been around 1980. The place was way overcrowded and absolutely bouncing! Just the way it should be.
The frontman of budgie reminds me of Geddy Lee bc he has a very unique voice and he's a bassist
Both also had long hair and wore large glasses at one point.
Very comparable 😊
Saw Budgie (BS & TB ) at my local pub in Bury ( Lancs) about 8 years ago. They were fantastic. Breadfan was the encore and I couldn't hear for days. Bouncing in front of them like a teenager. The Landlord apparently knew BS. One of my mates who camealong was a soul boy, but we didn't tell him who Budgie were. He was speechless. Grew up with them in the 70s and they were always massively underrated. One of my best music memories
this song NEVER gets old.awesome !!!@
Kilminster.
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
First band I ever seen live when they opened for Saxon in 1988.
I saw Saxon in Barnstaple , playing at Chequers , circa 1979/80
bad ass rock track from legends budgie, killer riff, love the lead singer's voice so sexy. one of the best ever rock bands, shame this band from wales was not massive all the way around the world, love their music.
Budgie, Judas and smoke.. good times
And Judas
Still a huge fave, saw them live so many times, excellent band!
I bought a (schecter) guitar off him twenty years ago, hes a nice guy too. Never got the recognition he deserved, writing chainsaw riffs before anyone else. a real pioneer. all the early budgie stuff gives me goosebumps.
They are not technically considered etc...?? They were absolutely ecletic, they could play blues, rock and roll, metal... as many bands cannot do today. And they did it in a great way! Every metal band and metalhead knows them..
Amen to that!
"They are not technically considered etc..."
yeah, exactly. anyway, I'd bet 90% of metal bands/metal heads only know Breadfan because Mecraptica covered it
@@strangevisions5162 really sad...
Exactly! Good music just isn't in the mainstream, but it is out there. You just have to dig more, and with this wonderful invention of the internet, there is no excuse to say good music doesn't exist!
being from Cardiff makes it so cool knowing this band also originated from the same place.
1976 Cardiff Castle: Budgie, Hawkwind, Strawbs, Curved Air, Status Quo, pretty amazing day
This has got to be one of the best all time rock riffs ever. Its easy to play too.Theres a video here on UA-cam that shows how to play it.
All great, especially love the transition at 3:00, takes me back to the mid 70's; you had to be there to understand.
I was there Fred. I know exactly what you mean.
Those days I spent listening to this....30 yrs ago!!!!!!
So did I welsh band!
R.I.P Burke Shelley. thanks for all the music!!
Sounds like picking with a coin
Martijn Blokzijl he might Brian May from queen did, and I’m pretty sure witchfinder general guitarist did you can hear on their live album strange pick noise as well as the Toni iommi on live at last but I could be wrong
I have picked with a coin before,
I do not recommend.
Sometimes you gotta make due with what you got if you don't just have a jar of picks or something. Sometimes it might be symbolism.
@@kissingersange1812 maybe
Budgie were way too early to be considered NWOBHM. They were, and still are, a great rock band. I saw them many times in the 70s and even then didn't receive the critical acclaim they deserved. Burke Shelly always loved playing Liverpool and they brought the house down every time. Saw them again about 2/3 years ago and still a great live band.
this is a work of fucking art
Rusty Cage, Soundgarden
Thought the riff sounded familiar... LOL!
So, this is where around the world from chili peppers came from...
The very start reminds me of Welcome To The Jungle.
@Greg Hubbard and didn't do so well
got a little bit of Deep Purple's Highway Star too
@Greg Hubbard I think Budgie could take a Metallica song and make it sound heavy.
@@gemini2012100 I think your right !
Does anyone else notice the Roger Dean artwork on the cover?
THE REAPER MAN The guy who does Yes and other prog band album covers? I like his art style. It sort of reminds me of Soviet retro futurism art.
This old Yes fan notices the Roger Dean cover
THE REAPER MAN roger dean’s artwork is fucking amazing, it’s inspired some of mine
@@billbillbillbill9457 and Roger Dean also did a few awesome Uriah Heep covers as well !
I LOVE his voice!
When I go to the Metal Halls of Valhalla,I anticipate my brethren to play this song and others I chose as my body goes up in flames.
Seen Budgie many years ago ! i was 16 now 54 and it still sounds great!!
Halfway thru I realized I didn't know what a breadfan was.
Then I stopped caring :)
ROCK ON!
someone obsessed with money :P
My dad did the lights for their show in swindon in the 60s and got offered to go on tour with them to do the lights but declined for some reason why oh why
+El Bee Your dad is cool.
I want a "favorite" option for comments just cuz of that shit. hahaha
Old guy rock and roll we were rascals. The girls would call us magical ,we were.
love how it goes from so heavy to chilled like that its such a great tune
Best Jam Ever!!!!!!
Opening riff reminds me of Chris Squire's bass in the beginning of Yes' "Does It Really Happen?" song... ;)
One of the all-time great opening riffs.
RIP Burke Shelly I loved this band was always unsure why nobody knew of them
All around the world
We can make time.
Rompin' and a stompin'--
Wait, those aren't the right lyrics...
Pretty much note for note, eh?
BobbyBaboon Yeah! I had never heard this song before today and, of course, i noticed that right away! The Peppers got the guts stollin it like this!
this is on a lead guitar, but All Around the Word is on a bass.
Cracking song, the original version, don't accept poor imitations.
Well said not an easy song to cover
Agreed...
Actually the metallica cover ROCKED. They took the original and made it heavier sounding.
Yeah, Metallica's version pales in comparison
I loved seeing them at La Semana with legs diamond those were the good days! How I wish they could come back!!
KSHE 95 in St. Louis played a fair amount of Budgie music. That’s how I was introduced to them. Love Sky High Percentage.
Now kids this is music
Ten rytm pobudza do ruchu:) :) :)
Great memories done some serious headbanging and air guitar to this back in the day
one of the top 10 influential hard rock metal songs and albums period real talent and professional musicianship here
saw them a few times in the distant past. good band! Welsh!
sweet
Budgie's first record is the jam
Absolutely brilliant!
The acoustic part is so good, best song from them
Simply awesome. 🤘🏽
Now and then, something good comes out of Wales!!
I still have this vinyl LP and used to go see them in St.Albans in the mid-70s, great memories and music
One of my favorite bands of all time.
love this song, though it's 2:55 - 4:17 that keeps me coming back, it's like symptom of the universe from sabbath.
wait what ????? sorry butthe sabbathendingwas far better than this
You're comparing this bridge to Sab's outro, I think. SotU is one of my favorite Sab tunes...
One of the best tracks ever. On high end hi fi it just wails !
Fuk yer, vintage hitachi amp and turntable with shure hi track cart realistic speakers tremendous
Saw them twice in Perth Australia
Awesome live
I always feel knackered after listening to this song. Real rock and roll!
Sabbath were heavy for sure, but they weren't this fast, at least not in 73. I'd say they started getting pretty fast by say, 75 with Symptom of the Universe. Heavy, thrashy, stuff. Queen were pretty thrashy in 73 as well. Queen II, anyone? Ogre Battle? The Sweet are also awesome. Sweet F.A is an incredible song. I love all these bands. Not saying one is better. The 70s were an awesome time for rock
Awesome unique a raw hardcore guitar group love them,Status Quo as well.
Imagine, you’re on a mountain top, and there’s only one opening guitar riff that can unite the people.
Blasting it on my cans brilliant bass
Love this band just good in your face rock n roll
This is what real Metal sounds like.
glad to see this version posted
Great song from the past... Through this was long before me i enjoy it all the same.
What a great band. Love em.
budgie came before the new wave of british heavy metal .lol
Speed metal before it had a name.
@Ball of Molten Lead Metallica perfected it
Metallica perfected it? You're nuts haha
Metallica did a great tribute, but this song was already perfected. You can't top the original.
Someone get this poser out of here
@@jiggajuice17 hey! Take it easy...
They're much heavier than we realized in the '70s! And they were nearly as big as Uriah Heep, so are one of the Big Five.
RIP Burke Shelley (1950 - 2022)
lp released in June, 1973
2:56 - 4:12 is genuinely *about to tear up crying* beautiful + the rest of the tune!!!
I’m about 12 years late saying this, but Brutal Legend brought me here.
This is in my top 10!!!!! forever!
you thought Wales was all sheep and slate tiles...think again boyo.
thats a like from a taffy
Plus you have the moors over there. Keep clear and stick to the road, lest ye be mauled by a werewolf...Of the American type..
A mix of around the world and paranoid...
Wow, another banger🇬🇧😎👍
Saw Budgie many many years ago in Great Yarmouth at the old Regal theater. On the same bill was Hawkwind and Gillan. What a night that was.
im 17 and i hate the music today. In my opinion this is music, not that shit from the radio. Ans i dont like it when someone says all kids listen to this crap!
Love Budgie. Kickass 70s hard rock. I much prefer their original version of this, to Metallica's cover
You are right there. I am fortunate enough to live in South Wales where Budgie originated from and was very lucky to have witnessed the great Burke Shelley and Budgie perform in many of our small cozy venues around the south in the good old days of heavy bands . The only setback was that Budgie were probably one of the best metal bands ever to exist but did'nt get the recognition they really deserved .
I don't know why I slept on the original version or this band...I have to rethink my entire view of classic rock and I wish I had been around to see this amazing band live. so fucking good.
Classic rock, 70s and 80s heavy metal> modern rock and metal.
La mejor del grupo, no me estraña que lo versionar a los comerciales vendidos de metálica!
listen to their album " Impecable" and you will be sold on Budgie. They should have been as big as Rush. I mean no disrespect for Allex, Neal or Getti.
I'm sure Rush wouldn't show you any disrespect getting their names wrong Donny.
I'm going to perfectly honest, just glancing through the comments here I see a bunch of fans enjoying the song and reminiscing about when they first heard it, and I feel kinda dirty for having only heard of this song through the game Brutal Legend.
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.
