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. In 2002 their back-catalogue was reissued on the double disc set Anthology and a comeback album called “Still Screaming”was released in 2003. After ten years, their new album ‘The Dark Place’ was released in April 2013. http://www.legendjersey.com/

5) Legend was a Southend R&B band, established in the mid-1960s as The Orioles. The original Orioles collapsed in Mach 1966 when leader Mickey Jupp was sent to prison. When he came out, he reformed the band as Legend. They recorded three albums (produced by Tony Visconti, of David Bowie fame) but received little attention. Legend were, however, popular among their peers, with Dr. Feelgood and Paul Weller doing versions of Legend's best known song, 'Cheque Book'.
6) 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'.
11) 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

Circle of Friends
Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who are you to judge what is right and what's wrong what steps are taking. I will bury you.
Your story has been laid to rest. Your time is over. And nobody ever knew your name.
What have you accomplished in your long years of life. What do you have to show for the countless times that you have always tried. You have no purpose.
you are not the victim, you are the weak.
Burn out your eyes, burn out your eyes you are the weak and desperate
force fed a lie, nobody respects you your fooling nobody this time.
You are reason that you can't find your way you're just a hopeless soul, another number today.
You have no purpose.
The song "Circle of Friends" by Legend starts with some hard-hitting lyrics that call out the hypocrisy and weakness of a person. The lines "You are the coward and you are the plague. We know everything about you. Who are you to judge what is right and what's wrong what steps are taking" suggest that this person is a liar and a manipulator, trying to deceive others while failing to live up to their own standards. The singer then goes on to say "Your story has been laid to rest. Your time is over. And nobody ever knew your name," which implies that this person's actions have been insignificant and will likely be forgotten.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the point that this person has no purpose or value, with lines like "Burn out your eyes, burn out your eyes you are the weak and desperate, force fed a lie, nobody respects you your fooling nobody this time." The singer is expressing their disdain for someone who tries to hide behind lies and deception, and who has failed to achieve anything of real worth in their life. The final lines of the song repeat the message that this person has no purpose or value, suggesting that they are simply a "hopeless soul" and "another number" in the world.
