1) Legend (now known as LGND) are a metalcore/metallic hardcore band from Saginaw, Michigan signed to Rise Records.
In today’s metal scene, most bands don’t have the backbone needed to exhibit what real heavy music is all about. Detroit, Michigan’s LEGEND isn’t most bands. The sheer magnitude of LEGEND’S furious sound is so uncompromising and so monstrous you’ll be checking under your bed for circle pits before you go to sleep at night. LEGEND are on a path of devastation that will leave the naysayers wishing they hadn’t second guessed just how severe this mid-western five piece truly is. Fronted by Chad Ruhlig (For the Fallen Dreams), LEGEND has no qualms calling themselves just what they are Legendary.
2)The American Legend hails from New Haven, CT. They are an Epic Traditional Heavy Metal band who formed in 1978. They recorded and released a single album on the record label Matrix called “From the Fjords” (1979). Their music deals with myths and viking lore/stories. They are now split up.
Lineup:
Fred Melillo - Bass
Raymond Frigon - Drums
Kevin Nugent - Guitars, Vocals (R.I.P. - 1983)
There are 500 officially pressed copies of the 1979 release, although myriad bootlegs have been created over the years. It was never released on CD. “From the Fjords” remains today as one of the most sought after albums ever.
Kevin and Fred played previously in a band called Edge in 1977-78. Monster Records is re-releasing Legend’s ‘From The Fjords’ album.
3) Jersey Legend released the full-length albums “Legend” and “Death in the Nursery” in 1981 and 1982, respectively. They also made an EP “Frontline” in 1982.

4) Formed in 1979, the Kent (UK) legend is now split-up, having released the single “Hideaway / Heaven Sent” in 1981.
5) British pagan progressive rock Legend released three albums in the nineties, and were hugely influential with the Pagan scene as well as being very respected in Japan were they sold well. In many ways they were ahead of their time, combining operatic vocals with symphoni music in a way later adopted by bands such as Nightwish. Keyboard player Steve Paine ran the Pagan Media record label and along with live engineer Jon Moreau produced bands such as Incubus Succubus, Mr So & So and The Rattlers among others.
The band reformed in 2010 with Steve Paine and drummer John Macklin bringing in the original singer (pre any album releases), as well as guitarist Dave Foster who had worked with Steve a great deal over the years as he is a founder member of the So & So's. Rejuvenated they released the new studio album 'Cardinal Points' in April 2011, as well as making available a CD of the music from their live 1992 video 'Playing With Fire'.
10) Legend Seven was a Christian hard rock band formed in the early 1990s (formerly with the name Legend) by three former members of Ruscha, another Christian band from the 1980s.
The band made its debut in 1990 under the name "Archon" on a compilation disc released by Heaven's Metal magazine, with a self-produced version of "After The Fall." The song was re-released on the band's self-titled debut album, Legend, in 1991 on Word Records. Shortly after, the band was forced to change its name to Legend Seven upon learning that another band was already using the name Legend. They released Blind Faith in 1993.
Both albums were produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Bubba Smith and garnered several hits on Christian radio ("Carry Me", #4, 1992; "Angela", #2, 1992; "Be Still", #1 for 2 weeks, 1994; "Blind Faith", #1 for 2 weeks, 1994; "First Love", #10, 1994; "Call on Me", #15, 1994). The band disbanded in 1994

Legend of Rock is a tribute event.
All of the performers are tribute bands. All the artists who will appear respect and respect the antecedents, real artists, and develop live performance in honor of themselves. In each performance one of the best live entertainment as if the souls of the principals (real) were transferred, it will reproduce in front of you.
Rock music which is the best entertainment that was born in the 20th century! ! Do we not have to inherit this best entertainment rock music firmly this century?
Legend of Rock started from October 2004 with such a thought. But I'd appreciate it if you enjoy pure rocking without thinking so hard. In those days, the live performances of the artists who were crazy will be reproduced here. Feel free to enjoy Legend of Rock as a playground for adults with colleagues, friends, couple or parents.
Asahi TV Asahi Director
Mr. Atsuo Kurabayashi
After the arrival of GFR, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin in 1971, Western-style rock swept Japan and planted a dream to form a band in a rocking boy (a young man). I was also one of them like this, laying the appearance of Paige on the Greco's guitar he ordered and listening to the teaching tape of Shigeru Hairyashi, practicing desperately the child-in-time triad of Richie. And 35 years. Bands and members of yearning are deaths or broken up, while former boys who revived like a phoenix were followers. That sound, that phrase, that performance.
Janis, Jimihen and Bonzo will revive from the country of Yomi. Rock history. If you can share the sound that is connected to the present at the live venue and you can share it beyond generations if you feel the groove feeling is the real pleasure of rocking, it is also convincing for the young audience. The current rock scene with a lot of bands will also be better looking.
So it's a tribute band hundred years old. Moreover, everyone is good. cool.
TV Asahi has also been planning professional musicians' ROCK LEGENDS. Four persons, Brain police, Leon Russell etc to Al Cooper. Although each approach is different, I want to give each other again a place to stimulate modern times and simply enjoy real rock, not just nostalgia. I am expecting further "LEGEND OF ROCK" from now on.
Rock evangelist Mr. Katsuji Konku
QUEER is rock band from Tokyo, Japan composed of Bulsara (Vo & Piano), Brian (Guitar), Roger (Drums), George (Bass Guitar).
Each member has long history as players in each part. Everyone was eager to play like Freddie, Brian, John or Roger for Queen songs, but never had any chances, or never came across.
Now, four players found each other. That happened in May, 2011.
They believe this is a kind of Magic, or a Miracle.
