As live concerts and events continue to be announced for the area, the Appalachian Wireless Arena on May 17 announced two legendary rockers will appear at the venue this fall.. According to a statement from the arena, Alice Cooper and Ace Frehley will perform in Pikeville on Oct. 5 as part of their national tour. According to the statement, Cooper, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, usually spends up to six months a year on the road, bringing his iconic brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock rock, Cooper (in both the original Alice Cooper band and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie. Alice Cooper concerts remain a ânot-to-be-missedâ attraction, the statement said.
