The Crane-fly (Daddy Long Legs) larvae is called the leather- jacket or leather-back.
The Crane-Fly lays its eggs in your grass and they turn into the larvae.
These grubs will do untold damage to your lawn.

The leatherjacket is the larva of the crane fly (mosquito hawk) and lives in the soil. It feeds on the roots. Some species get numerous enough to cause lawn damage, killing some of the grass. Adult crane flies are harmless, feeding on nectar or not eating at all.

There is an insect called a leatherjacket. It is the larva of a crane fly and lives under ground. I don't know if it feeds on lawns though.

I think you're thinking of a leatherjacket. And not the type aging rockers wear.
