The comparison with Deep Purple should have delighted them. But this didn\u2019t all worked out to their advantage: \u201cRick Sanford sounded more like Robert Plant. My guitar playing is more in the mold of Clapton\/Beck\u201d smiles Roger Romeo, Legs Diamond\u2019s architect, exuberant and brilliant band from Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Their trademark for eternity is this worked and intelligent hard rock made of panache, eloquence (thank you Rick Sanford), polished riffs and dosed keyboards.
\nA constant of these US bands from the mid-seventies. Legs Diamond then crossed swords with the Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Blue \u00d6yster Cult and other Montrose without achieving their enticing status.
\nLegs Diamond belongs to the breed of pures and outsiders. It enhances its appeal. “Legs Diamond” (1977), “A Diamond Is A Hard Rock” (1977, yes same year) and “Fire Power” (1978) are brilliant successes but they never see Olympus ! Somewhat swept away by the Van Halen cataclysm and new (bastardized!) forms of hard rock. Very rare in Europe: \u201ctwo appearances in festivals in England and Germany\u201d.
\nAccording to Romeo, Legs Diamond will create a sensation during our 3rd GARF. Aren’t diamonds forever?<\/p>\n
