GenerationsLightning is a first generation GML buck. I had purchased both his sire and his dam from Smokey's Rabbitry. Lightning was the first homebred to win so many legs in addition to placing in the top 20 at ARBA Convention in Portland Oregon, along with his son. Lightning was a lifetime member. He lived until he was 9 years old, producing up until age 7.

Behind the Name
Ride The Lightning was released July 27th, 1984 on the second debut album for Metallica, Ride The Lightning
In perhaps a topic that only a metal band could cover, “Ride The Lightning” steps into the psyche of a man about to be taken to the electric chair for a wrongful conviction. He mulls over his last moments, wondering how he got there in the first place. He turns to God for guidance as his life flashes before his eyes.
“We just got into some social topics. The death penalty was a big question and the electric chair,” frontman James Hetfield said of the song. “That’s heavy. What if that was you, mistakenly? That’s what that song was about, being accidentally found guilty and put to death with no way to stop it. It was just a matter of putting myself into other people’s situations and trying to get these feelings out.”
