Budgie's most popular record is their 1973 work Never Turn Your Back On A Friend. For one simple reason - Breadfan. It is without a doubt one of the most important metal songs of all time, inspiring the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement and the 80s speed metal genre (alongside Deep Purple's Speed King, Queen's Stone Cold Crazy and UFO's Let It Roll). Obviously Metallica were fans of it as Lars has a high affection for obscure 70's and early 80's metal bands. When such a prolific band covers your song as a fan and touts it as an influence, no matter the lack of breakthrough success, it means your music has really reached someone and establishes Budgie's credentials as early masters of heavy rock. Breadfan is purely magic. The riff, the intensity, the power, Budgie combined everything for this monolithic track. But that doesn't take away from the rest of the record. The band throws in its first cover, the good ole Baby Please Don't Go. It's a straightforward version with plenty of Tony Bourge riffing that makes it clear he was one of the best hard rock guitarists of all time. Once again we're offered a nice slow down, the acoustic You Know I'll Always Love You, the echo on Burke's voice adds a slight progressive feel to it. These songs really show off Tony Bourge's penchant for softened and beautiful playing in addition to his thunder riff style.
