"Lights and Thunder" is a song by American/Danish glam metal band White Lion and was released as a single in the UK from their 1991 album Mane Attraction.[1] The song charted at No. 95 on the UK Singles Chart.
"Lights and Thunder" was White Lion's longest song, from 1991–2008, an eight-minute heavy rock epic with a complex structure inspired by Led Zeppelin’s Achilles Last Stand.[2] In 2008, "Sangre de Cristo" from Return of the Pride became the band's longest song, with a length of eight minutes and forty-four seconds. The song was one of many songs from the band that addressed social or political issues.[3]
In 2005, for the White Lion live album Rocking the USA, a music video was made for the live version of the song which features on the DVD Bang Your Head Festival 2005.[4] [5]
In 2024, Mike Tramp re-recorded "Lights and Thunder" for the Songs of White Lion, Vol. II album. The song was also re-released as a single and featured a new music video.[6]
