Although Metallica have covered a few Diamond Head songs (Am I Evil, The
Prince and Helpless) the original version of their cover of Breadfan was
done by Budgie. An old favourite of Lars'.

It actually was a band called Budgie who wrote it.
metallica also did a cover of diamond head's "sucking my love" on a demo
tape in 1982. the tape included "helpless", "killing time", "sucking my
love", "let it loose" as will as a few of metallica's own tunes. the
tape was given to a friend of the band named dave marrs(sp?). i got most
of the recordings taped from a radio show on knac called mandatory metallica.

AAAaahahahahaaa, you crazy kids..
Breadfan was written by a BAND called "Budgie", not the Siouxsie guitarist.
They were a 70's hard rock band, and about the punkest thing about them was their
nifty flares. Get some history, guy.
Seeya.
