Breadfan
"Breadfan" is a song by Welsh heavy metal band Budgie, appearing on their 1973 album ''Never Turn Your Back on a Friend''. The title of the song refers to a person's relationship to money, with "bread" being a slang term for money. The lyrics further highlight the moral dilemmas on what to do with money; keep it, give it away, spend it and to be ultimately free of it and not to let it rule a life. The song is featured in the video game ''Brütal Legend'' and its introduction used in Brazilian television sports news programme ''Globo Esporte''. The original version had an initial 17 second excerpt of Winston Churchill's speech at the Mansion House on November 10, 1942, citing the words: "I have never promised anything but blood, tears, toil and sweat". Due to copyright issues, however, it was omitted from subsequent album pressings. A promotional clip of the band performing the song was made by the band independently, using 18mm video tape; this was played on ''The Old Grey Whist ...

Damaged Justice Tour
Damaged Justice was the fourth concert tour by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It began on September 11, 1988, and ended on October 8, 1989.

Harvester Of Sorrow
"Harvester of Sorrow" is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on August 28, 1988, as the first single from their fourth studio album, '' ...And Justice for All'' (1988). The song debuted at a live performance prior to the release of ''...And Justice for All'' while the band was on the summer Monsters of Rock Tour in 1988 with Van Halen, Scorpions, Dokken and Kingdom Come. The single contained two B-sides, both of which were cover songs: "Breadfan", originally by Budgie, and "The Prince", originally by Diamond Head.

Eye Of The Beholder (song)
"Eye of the Beholder" is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on October 30, 1988, as the second single from their fourth studio album, '' ...And Justice for All''. Lyrically, the song concerns imposed limitations on freedom of speech and freedom of expression in general.

The rest of the song is a more conventional rhythm at a slower tempo than that seen on Metallica's previous three albums. The song has not been performed live in its entirety since 1989. It has, however, always formed part of the medleys of songs from ''…And Justice for All'' often played by the band in concert during the 1990s as an alternative to playing full songs, many of which were seen as too difficult because of the numerous guitar parts. One such "Justice Medley" was featured on its 1993 live album '' Live Shit: Bin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shit Hits The Sheds Tour
The Shit Hits the Sheds was a concert tour by the American heavy metal band Metallica, which took place in 1994. The band played in 51 shows in North America, including a performance at Woodstock '94, which had an attendance of over 300,000 people. Overview This tour is also known for the debut of the song " The God That Failed", and Lars Ulrich's down-scaled drum kits. According to Ulrich's interview on guitar center in 2014, two rack toms were removed from his original drum setup, thus allowing the hi-hat cymbal and ride cymbal to be placed nearer to him and making his drum kit easier to play.

On the last date of the tour in Miami, the famed lead vocalist of Judas Priest, Rob Halford (who at the time was the lead vocalist fo ...
