LOS ANGELES – Much of the audience attending the Grammy Awards on Sunday donned light-up devil horns for the opening performance of the annual event—a presentation of the AC/DC hit “Highway to Hell.”

“Party time/My friends are gonna be there too/I’m on the highway to Hell,” the Australian rock band blared out as flames blazed on the jumbotron behind them, along with pyrotechnic effects. “Hey Satan/Payin’ my dues … I’m on the highway to Hell/Don’t stop me.”

The group had been introduced by rapper LL Cool J, as the audience stood to their feet. “To kick off the 52 second annual Grammy Awards, headed down the highway to Hell, for the first time at the Grammys,’ AC/DC!” he declared, being met with enthusiastic cheers.

Well, that’s their problem.

[WayneS]

...and he has an uncanny resemblance to Rodney Dangerfield.

[safeasthebanks]

SO....they're never supposed to play that song because some people are ignorant.

Spare us.

[WayneS]

I agree with you. I think it is a better song.

Sometimes, I just can’t believe the music the kids listen to these days.

By "kids" you mean 50-year olds, right? We're talking about AC/DC here.

Do some research, the song has NOTHING to do with satan worship on any other such nonsense.

Odd choice for an album cover, then.

“I’ve been in classic rock bands. I would never do AC/DC stuff. Period.”

not to pile on, but no one does AC/DC stuff, their sound is unique and within 3 notes max, you know it’s theirs.

I, at least, understood the cod nature of this comment.

I thought he looked like Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black.

“They should have played “It’s a long way to the top...(if ya want to Rock and Roll)”

Yes, and I know for a FACT he also wears a red suit, has a pitchfork and wears an evil looking goatee! (ha ha).

Naw, dawg...

[cuban leaf]

There is a local AC/DC tribute band that has a huge following (at least for that sort of thing).

“To kick off the 52 second annual Grammy Awards”

Pretty short show. Must be the best ever because of that.

That song is 30 years old.

That’s a rough crowd right there.
