BOURGE
Tony Bourge (born November 23, 1948) is a Welsh musician who was the original guitarist for the rock band Budgie. Artists such as Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, and Kim Thayil of Soundgarden lists him as an influence.
Formed in 1967, Budgie's original line-up consisted of Burke Shelley on vocals and bass, Tony Bourge on guitar and vocals, and Ray Phillips on drums.
Their debut album of strong, blues-oriented hard rock was recorded at Rockfield Studios with Black Sabbath producer Rodger Bain and released in 1971, followed by Squawk in 1972. The third album, Never Turn Your Back on a Friend (1973), contained "Breadfan", which was covered by Metallica in 1987. Metallica had covered another Budgie song, "Crash Course in Brain Surgery", earlier in their career.
