Grammys 2015: AC/DC's Brian Johnson Aided by Teleprompter During 'Rock or Bust'

In case you were living under a rock or happened to be in a coma for the past 24 hours, the 2015 Grammys were last night, Feb. 8. The show kicked off thankfully without a long intro from LL Cool J -- the entire affair was lengthy to start with -- and launched right into a two-song performance of "Rock or Bust" and "Highway To Hell" from AC/DC. The '80s rockers came out blazing with a high-powered performance equipped with pyrotechnics, fireworks and big production. It was a youthful performance all around except for one point: The teleprompter used by the presenters was also used by AC/DC singer Brian Johnson to help him out with the words to his own song "Rock or Bust," via Mediaite.

See the photo evidence below. Even the line "Oh Yeah" makes it onto the teleprompter.

Also notice the one young guy who forgot his earplugs at home and was not ready for the noise. When it comes to "Rock or Bust," he chose bust.

While it was great to see AC/DC rock out to start the show, which featured a whopping 23 performances and the audience loved it as well, it is kind of sad they needed a teleprompter. It did not appear that Brian Johnson had his eyes glued to it like Jennifer Hudson at the end of the night, so it might have just been a precautionary measure put in place by the Grammys, but it still adds a small asterisk if they used it for a set deemed by LL Cool J "devilishly good."
