Damaged Justice
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.

The single " One" was released during the tour. Itinerary The tour marked the first and, to date, only time that Metallica has played in the U.S. state of Delaware.

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 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 ...
