[edit] Trivia
- The song is rumored to be about greed in the music industry.
- At the very end of the Metallica version of the song, you can hear a child say "Mommy, Where's Fluffy?"
- The song's main riff is played right before the commercials on the most watched daily sports program in Brazilian television, Globo Esporte.
- The Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Around the World", which came out 11 years after Metallica's version of Breadfan, has an intro that is extremely similar to Metallica's version. In Budgie's original version the intro was played on a guitar.
